  • I'd for anything high carb- toast is always good, or a sarnie or some pasta. I'd steer clear of greasey stuff, but whatever you fancy, I guess!

    KOAG it sounds like your body's gearing up - I'd go for something like porridge, fairly gentle on the stomach but filled with all kinds of good slow-release energy. Add a bit of honey if you feel like you need to perk up a bit faster.

    And if we're sharing sling pics can I add one of mine please? (Well I am anyway :p)

    That's gorgeous, is it a didymos?

    Ocah's are gorgeous, I want one even though I almost always use wraps now!

    What a lovely picture Boo - you're both so pretty!

    Thank you :o

    KOAG as the others say, carbs, porridge maybe soup and toast? Something that doesnt feel heavy on your stomach should be ok.

    I haven't got the heart to change Isla's outfit, OH was too proud of himself for getting her ready! Maybe she'll have a poopslosion to deal with soon ;)

    GISI - Isla too has gone from about 7 poos a day to 1 or 2.

    It is indeed :) Didymos nino violet/rose to be precise lol. I've got the Girasol Moor on order too, I can't wait for it to come next month, I'm expecting it to take some breaking in before it's as cushy as my didy though. I love my wraps but use my BH and ring sling quite a lot for their speed, Isla doesn't like being fussed about when I'm wrapping! I really need to master back wraps soon too.

    DH has boogered off to his brothers to take him a HDMI cable for his xbox!

    Oooh a viewing for the car later, fingers crossed he turns up and gives a decent offer:)

    Off for a shower now before Mr Monkey wakes for his lunch;)

    :rotfl:dead starfish:rotfl:

    Tia, caz, CSH all scottish contingent... I'm just about to upload a biscuit recipe for my vegan meal planner that's very like a shortbread but contains cornmeal.

    Would it be ok to call it a shortbread or would there be a scottish outcry about the cornmeal?!

    A lot of the old recipes use part flour part corn flour (corn flour is the same as corn meal right?), so yeah, go for it :D

    love the picture Sami, saw it on FB but don't think I've friended Fritha yet.

    Can I ask you more experienced mummys... is it just an old wives tale that bottom teeth come through first? Got the dribble, pink cheeks, biting everything, and yesterday had the inconsoleable screaming. Just want to know what I'm keeping an eye out for really. Seems more white at the top but still not enough to know if it is pressure making it white or teeth starting to come down? even less showing at bottom, hope she won't be suffering with them for too long.

    Thanks in advance xx


    DS1 got his uppers first, DS2 got his lowers first. But we have yet to get a tooth from Amber.

    he maybe just having a hungry day or even stocking up to grow more!!

    Caz....what about one of those doors that are like stable doors, they open half and half...my cousin used to use one on her kids bedrooms instead of gates. I think they are called Dutch doors or something similar.
