I already have one dog - I don't want another. :eek: But 'they' do say that dogs are good for autistic people. And J does have a special bond with our dog. The dog is much more J's friend than any of the rest of us.

Our puppy is 5 months old and he gets on better with Charlotte than any of us

Dummies - never bothered with them as I hate them

7-8 months feeding I think Charlotte was onto three meals a day by then, but she's always been a pig and eats loads

Ooh, congrats to Gymfiend!

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes...I am touched! Had a lovely day. Tea group at mine this morning, went into work this afternoon for a meeting with my boss, then an early tea at Nandos. Just had a lovely bath with Henry. He is such a cutie at the moment!

Maz- thanks so much to your fairies!

Evening all..

We've been to Boogie Babies (now it's not on for three weeks! ) then for a long drive via the petrol station (£45 to fill my car up! When did that happen? It's probably only the 5th full tank in ten months tho!), home for milk, then out to town again. Went to spend Mum's Advantage Card points in Boots on stocks of baby stuff for her house Then I've been to Claire's to pick up the wipes her lovely DH got for me on the old Sainsburys offer and to my parents to return lots of their things I've found taking up space in my house - just dreading them doing the same to me! With all that driving I've been eyeing up lots of cars.. need to have a look on autotrader tonight, methinks

I had something to ask but can't think what now... :cool:

Hope everyone's well xx

Hey everyone

Happy birthday GISI

Congrats to Gymfiend, wow that is one long time for baby to be born 4 days after being induced!

Can anyone remember how much milk their babies drank when they were 8 days old (I know i've asked EA this already) just Elliot is only drinking 2oz a time, and sometimes in the middle of the night he only has like 1oz and is then awake very soon again for more?

Also we tuck Elliot into his sheets and blankets, not quite swaddled but all tucked in, he can and does sometimes pull his arms out, do you think he would be more relaxed at night time if we had him wrapped in his sheet while feeding him? or do you think it would stress him out? cos sometimes he wakes up too much in the middle of the night and I it takes me hours to get him back to sleep (the last two times he's only gone back to sleep after OH has lay him on his bare chest)

I had another teary moment today I wish it would go away.

kindof- DD used to hate being swaddled as she liked to be able to get to her hands, so to stop her keep waking up by flinging her arms and flailing her legs, I used to roll up blankets and make a little nest around her, one under her knees keeping her legs up, and one either side under her arms, she loved it, and as she got bigger I just rolled them smaller and smaller, then took them away once she had fully unfolded iyswim.

Not sure how much milk DD had as BF but in order to get her to take more at one time, I would wind her loads in between so she could fit more in. If he was hungry hun he would eat so don't worry about that, but if it's more that you would prefer he had more so he went longer between feeds then you could try feeding him one oz, sitting him up, winding him in a few different positions then try him with a bit more, it can be a constant battle in the early days to get the milk down their necks.

Take care chick, hope you feel better soon. x

Has anyone been to a really nice Haven site? My recent memory is of one in North Wales that was absolutely minging! Surely they're not all like that?

3 - I'm going here in June, it's a fab site, the pool is excellent - and it's Tara's neck of the woods!

Just catching up.
