Oh no! You should go back to bed and not get up till your friend comes! I've just taken DH to work and we're going to have breakfast in a minute. Then braving another session at the CMs

Once baby arrives, your just so knackered, you fall asleep no bother KOAG. I'm still at that stage and my eldest is 13 :rotfl:

Hope you get your haircut and things get moving today. Thinking of you xx

Becles- now we know where Charlotte gets her funny outbursts from. I bet James blushed!

Kindof- the not sleeping is just a horrid late pregnancy side effect. You'll be fine once bubs is here. For the first month or so I used to go to bed later so I did his 11/12 feed before bed, but now I'm back to going to bed about 10 and generally get up about 7/8.

Can i ask what you use for nappy rash. bubs hasnt had it before but his teething his kicking in full strenght now and his bum is a little red we have a regular nappy off time during the day to try and help but i dont want it getting bad and sudocream just doesnt seem to be helping :-)

Lolly, how much sudo are you putting on? I know loads of people spread it on thick but it's actually more effective if you only use a thin smear...

KOAG, I was like that Amber even though I had to get up with the boys, pregnancy just makes you weird. It stops once they are born, exhaustion takes over Just sleep when you can, never force yourself to stay awake, if you need a nap, take it.

Idiot neighbour is away out, dog is howling. The thing chewed through my fence yesterday! Neddy chavvy type!

Better get the boys to school/nursery and wake DH up for work.

Man-slings, DH moaned about the carrier because it was girly light denim, but still wore it to strut about town with his baby in So long as it's not too girly, their male pride at fathering such a gorgeous little creature usually over-rides any embarrassment at wearing a bit of pink fabric

I find Sudocrem is good for stopping nappy rash getting worse if you catch it early enough but if it is spotty and sore then Sudo is next to useless.

We also have Bepanthen, which seems to work well on a spotty bottom and a thick yellow ointment which looks like something your nan would have used!!

Off to check what it is.


Edit - it is the Kamillosan Nappy Rash Cream - not to be confused with the Kamillosan Nipple Cream!!

Morhulin Ointment is fabulous! it smells a bit fishy and you might have to ask the pharmacist to order it in but they usually can get it in the next day and it clears it within hours

incidentally kamillosan nipple cream has just been recommended on the radmid group mfd along with.... yes you guessed it! breastmilk!

I was thinking about confusing it the other way Sami and putting the nappy cream on your nipples :eek:

It is thick and sticky like a proper old fashioned ointment! I put some on my fingers after I scalded myself and it settled my poorly fingers down a treat
