MSE Parents Club Part 12

Hi everyone, sorry Ive not been on much lately, been trying to keep up though.

GISI - Well done on the race for life Saw ur pix on fb, v cute!!

Well I have sorted out my return to work, boo hiss!! Ive booked T into a local nursery for 2 days, Im gonna work on Tues and Weds all day. I was really impressed with the nursery and they played with T whilst the lady was talking me through what they do, and he seemed really happy which I thought was a good enough indication of the place Going to start work in September so still have a little while off but no doubt its gonna fly!!

T has also started saying mamama and dadada just lately which is very cute and copying us when we wave. He has been a bit more 'cry-ey' (clearly not a word) today though so I wonder if his 2nd tooth is coming through, think it looks a bit raised right next to his 1st tooth.

I have started to brush his tooth with a teeny bit of baby toothpaste, what do I do about rinsing it out, I have been trying to give him a drink from his sippy cup, is that a good idea?

Thanks xx

CSH - I think that is a bit pathetic not to invite a 14 year old! It's not like she's going to be screeching through the ceremony, poking the cake and doing knee skids across the dancefloor! :rotfl:

Ermmm, no course she wouldn't, much

Aimee used to love the toilet and the loo brush... She had a friend to play when she was about 2 and while I was doing something in one of the bedrooms, her and her friend were styling each others hair with toilet water... :eek: At least they were close to the bath!!!

Boo, don't worry too much about rinsing at this age... They get the idea eventually...

Evening all,

MSE is running really slow for me too.

Turned out it was lovely weather at MILs despite being a bit miserable here. Had lunch there and stayed for a couple of hours before coming home.

Holly is in bed now....night 3 of letting her cry and she lasted 7 mins from leaving her room before she fell asleep! :T
She is still waking during the night at around 4-5am, and I am not leaving her to cry at that stage at the moment. Hoping the night time wakenings will phase out, but we will see.

ETA - good luck Ladybird!

Boo - You are not recommended to rinse toothpaste out now as it rinses away the fluoride. You just paint on a tiny bit of toothpaste and leave it.

If you put him on the stairs now he would probably climb them - it is much closer to crawling than walking!!

:eek::eek::eek: I have my fingers in my ears. LA LA LA LA LA. I am so not listening to you

I am glad you are happy with the nursery. I hope time drags until September

Wow, I can;t believe T is talking :T . Am I right in thinking you are still breastfeeding? Has it made a difference with Toby having a tooth? I am dreading D's first tooth _pale_

Stairgates are too much of a PITA for me to bother with them I am not sure when we would ever use one either...we are upstairs if we are in bed and downstairs if we are awake (and I keep the living room door closed).

The reason we are getting a gate on the bottom stair is that everytime someone goes out the living room door, K follows to see where you are going so when you shut the door behind you to keep him in, he sits behind the door (and you can't get back in til OH comes and lifts him away.)
There is nothing else downstairs that he can get into so hes allowed to just dot about as long as its not the stairs IYKWIM

He has a gate on his bedroom door too as we sit up there sometimes in the day playing with toys and things. With my back and shoulder being knackered its easier than fetching him back into the room and I don't like the door shut up there as it freaks the dog out That gate was in the loft from when Zac was a puppy so may as well get use out of it!

We have a stairgate top and bottom of stairs, fireguard and lock on cupboard under the sink. Dont really have any low corners so not a problem here.. just reading back I'm thinking we have another month or 2 before this with William..(its his 6 month birthday today ) where did that time go :eek: !!

Another night without dummy but probably ok as Henry was sooo tired from no sleep today and having been up since 6.30...No success still with TT at home, just hope its sorted before our holiday in August, it would be so nice to only have one in nappies:D

Had to go into loft and get some bigger clothes down for WG - his others are getting a bit tight....

Right bottles done, ironing done, 11 things of my list done and sandwiches made for tomorrow..mmmm maybe an early night is in order as OH has nipped to pub for a quick pint.

Boo - you have reminded me I better start on Williams 2 teeth now especially as he is eating proper food now

I can't believe how advanced David and Kieren are! They are growing up very quickly! Curious little things ha ha.
Holly has some very funny moves like half crawling but 1 leg oustretched straight. It seems to make her move much quicker going backwards or in circles! We are going to soft play tomorrow with my friend so hopefully she can take lessons in moving forwards from her little boy.

Well done GISI on your race. Forgot to wish you luck this morning, sorry.

Jam - I too would think that cows milk is fine as a top up, but H is only on 3 bottles per day at the moment so I don't think that 3 milk feeds is too little anyway. I dropped one of her bottles a few weeks ago. For formula it's recommended between 18-24 ounces or something like that at their age, so she has 3 x 7oz bottles. Sometimes she finishes them, sometimes she only takes 5 or 6oz.
I heard the HV at Baby Clinic telling another mum to put milk in anything she could as her baby wouldn't drink much milk, so adding lots to mashed potato, cheese sauce etc. The baby was maybe nearer a year old though, but all these things count as calcium. A fromage frais pot is equivalent to 2oz milk as far as I recall (in relation to calcium). Not sure about iron, but as long as she eats plenty of green veg and stuff then it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions :iloveyou:
I am too yawning too much so I am off to read in bed.

sweet dreams all x
