Millie's Mum i have NO idea how tall C is so yes please i'll measure his too and see how they compare. He's ok with his 16" but it just looks so small compared to him lol.

Millie is 120CM tall, her inside leg measures about 51cm (20") and as I say the 18"bike fits nicely now

Re the Period talk, my mum wasn't told and thought she was dying when she started, obv she didn't want the same for us, but I swear from when I was about 7 she never shut up going on about periods etc so it is possible to go a bit far the other way!

Morning all,

Good luck Becles and Aless!

Happy Birthday Daniel.

SM and Jam - Have you head from NMS recently? She hasn't been on here for a while. Please tell her I was asking for her if you are texting her.

Hammy - Holly has always had problems passing wind, and I don't think it's become any worse since we started weaning. She occasionally screams in her sleep and it's usually due to wind. It's actually improved in the past couple of weeks, so I think as they develop their digestive systems, it does improve. Fingers crossed!

My Nanna told be that you weren't allowed to wash your hair during your period. I'm not sure why?!?

Maybe because some people lean back in the bath to wash their hair and they might get a random floating bit of blood in? :eek::rotfl:

I started mine at 12, a few months before then my aunt made me up a small starter kit with sanitry towels. I remember waking up and going to the toilet. I had my favourite sky blue pyjamas on and i sat down, looked into my pyjama bottoms and shouted ":eek: Naaaaannnn!!!! I think i started my period!!!"
She went and got my starter pack, told my mum and bought my sanitry towels for me. I lived with her until i was 14 btw

Me little sister used to call me 'Period Girl' all the time! When she started hers i got my revenge mwahaha :rotfl:

Few Questions about winding/burping:
1. At night how long do you wind them for if they dont seem to be burping?
2. If they do 1 burp, how long do you carry on for to get another one?
3. If they dont seem to burping and you've tried all positions, what do you do?

Thank you I was up last night thinking about those :rotfl:

Aww, thank you. Although no matter how much pink I put on her someone always thinks she's a boy!! She's a cheeky monkey anyway.

Off to get ready. Kindermusik today, then maybe shopping or Baby Clinic or visiting parents. Then dinner at MILs tonight.

Thanks for the advice. I wonder sometimes if it is because he is breastfed so it is a comfort thing but I guess that isn't necessarily true as Glams Jack does it too......Congrats on the changing bag :T

Happy birthday to Doras Daniel

ETA - how expensive are those changing bags !!!!!!!! But they are gorgeous.....* jealous*

Someone asked me the other day if it was breastfeeding that stopped them sleeping but I honestly believe it depends on the baby... A friend of mine formula fed her son and she had the same problems with him that I had with Aimee... Caitlyn was completely different at the beginning, slept well, settled quickly after night feeds and had epic daytime naps... She went off kilter for those couple of months but she's back to being a lot more settled now... Aimee's never going to be someone that needs a lot of sleep though...

Just my thoughts on the subject! I think a waking baby will just look for what its used to. If you BF then they will look for breast to settle, if you pop a dummy back in then they will look for that to settle. If you lift them out and settle them or take them into bed with you then thats what they want.

K also had a crappy few weeks of night wakings recently at 5/6mths but got 4 teeth so that was prob keeping him awake. He only wakes for a dummy or a wee whinge.

Where is the fair at?
We were up in your direction today, and got a little bit lost but found a Morrisons. I never knew there was a Morrisons so close.

Oooooooh you were pretty much round the corner from me, well round 3 corners:)

Fair is on Whitby Park, which you were also very close to, being by Morrisons.


Becles - Best of luck for your exam today, stay positive:D

at night it was just a few mins. i found putting kian on my shoulder helped him burp quicker.
if he burped once that was good enough for me.
no burps- fine, they grow out of needing a burp all the time. if kian hadnt burped after i tried everything, i took it that he didnt need to so would put him down and go back to bed
