Erin doesn't take bottles so I've just gone straight for a doidi cup and Erin is fine with it.

Glam I bath Erin every night - it's supposed to help as it raises their temperature which is what naturally happens when you are about to go to sleep and it goes down when you are about to wake up - I hope I have that the right way round!



Kindof I got some disposable mattress protectors for waters breaking as a pack of 4 in boots and since I didn't use them all at the time I'm using them now under Erin's bedding.
Sorry if I missed anyone, just done a massive catch up and can't remember half of what I read|!

Can I just say:

Andrew rolled over from back to front half-a-dozen times today :j :j :j :j :j

After a sleep though, he'd forgotten again what to do with the bottom arm :rotfl: So he's having to learn it again. I left him on the rug on my parents floor, he rolled himself over and started commando crawling out of the room before anybody noticed :rotfl:

Go Andrew :j

You can't shake the Dr Brown bottles but if you use the Comfort in a different bottle then you can shake it.

Thanks but I have to use hot water dont I cos they dont disolve properly?

Stupid question coming up, cos I have to use hot water, when they are cool I am going to put it in the fridge, when I heat it in microwave do I take all parts off so the bottle is open in the mic?

Elle yeah thats a good idea, god I hope he likes the new milk lol

Jenny - Ah cool thats a good idea, thank you

YAY for rolling babies

Get well soon Charlie

We are trying E out on a sleeping bag tonight, I hope he likes it, he does sleep well in the blanket and sheet, so I hope he doesnt have a terrible night now Ive switched him lol

Night all (well I am off to bed but seem to have a wide awake baby *sigh* lol)

Yup Did my first one last Wednesday, then today and then two a week for the next four weeks. Am actually quite enjoying myself when I'm there. Feels nice to be productive again

I nipped in to my old, old job which I will kind of be going back to do next month (:eek:) as I was passing the site and wanted to see if one of the IT guys was in as his car was there and we get on quite well. He wasn't there but being back there and thinking 'I'll be working in this environment soon' didn't make me think :eek: but more - I'll be more than just Jack's mum.
I'm actually looking forward to going back and I really think that nursery will do J the world of good - get him away from my dulcet tones 24/7

Didn't even respond to Jenny in last post! doh!

Thanks for that Jenny, didn't know that! Got out of the bath routine ages ago and my friend was surprised as I was always saying how it relaxed him! I think part of my trouble is being full of 'I'll do xyz' but in reality it lasts about a month and then I get lazy/bored/something better comes along!

That's right.

I used to just take the lid off but whenever I got it warmed up out in public people would take the whole top off so I do that now.

Sami - did it fit in the car?! I didn't see yoru post til about 3pm otherwise I would have met you for Chips or a Hot Dog!

Elle - I hadn't realised you were in work again. Are you doing all 10 KIT days?

yeah after much drama! I had to put Chris's seat in the front and put half the back seat down (is that safe? I figured it was ok just once but I've never been sure :undecided) while I was getting it in he wet himself though and I got p'd off then felt guilty and got him maccy's I'm such a bad mum this week! I had to, shock horror, get out of the car to get the maccy's tho :eek::rotfl:

Oooh when you get a chance I would LOVE to see it:) I need a cot for kai, but as he won't be in it for very long I want a cheap one...was thinking of either that one or getting one secondhand out the paper. How much is the mattress to go with it?

here you go[LINK REMOVED]the cheapest mattress is £20 I got that one and it feels fine, I got a padded topper for it that was a bit of a rip at £12.99 but I was desperate, they do a cheaper thin just waterproof one thats £5 but didn't have any left

Sami - I felt bad driving back from Ikea with a huge box poking out the boot which was right against J's seat and the boot was open with him rear facing in the back!
When I returned it he was barefoot an curling his toes round the box!

I thought you might have to move a seat to the front and put seats down.

ooooooooooooooooops not done bottles or anything! Better go and do it now.
So much for an early night! J is going to my friends for an hour or two tomorrow - be interesting to see how he gets on!

Sami_Bee

Kindof when you say; when they're cool, you'll put them in the fridge do you mean your gonna cool them in water a la glam?
I used to just lift the lid on the bottle so the air could expand, I wouldn't put it in the micro open mostly coz mine is ming and bits might have fallen in it

Thanks Sami...looks pretty good. Ikea stuff is usually very sturdy isn't it, so it should hold up to Kai's shaking it!! he won't even be in it for much longer than say 6-8mths and I will then move him into a bed.

We need to go and buy another set of drawers from Ikea as I love the ones I got for the boys room....and they cost about half what I paid for Kai's set, which are crap in comparison:(

Going to pick up a highchair tomorrow at 12pm from Chester It is a chicco polly as I just think they are fab highchairs, so comfy! she said it has been hardly used as they ended up just sitting their LO in a bumbo then just on the floor on a mat £30:D

Dh is getting on my nerves, every night he has been up on the computer from about 6/7pm till midnight...now I don't mind but as I am left downstairs, I am the one left to tidy up and fill the dishwasher, wash the bottles, and sort out anything that needs doing for the morning.....I am shattered:(
