Hi everyone! Not been on in a couple of days as I've had my mum staying, so just having a quick catch up.

Krystal - Congratulations!!:j:j:j

Beenie - Hope somebody starts taking your complaints seriously soon. Your neighbours make mine sound like angels in comparison and we would seriously be considering moving away from ours if the damn credit crunch hadn't landed us in negative equity. There's nothing worse than problem neighbours. I would say no to the ebay refund out of principle. You were upfront about it on the listing its the sellers own stupid fault that they didn't price up replacements before they bought it.

Holly is 3 weeks old as of tomorrow and seems to be settling into a rough routine now. I think it was Aless (not entirely sure) that recommended the Happiest Baby on the Block book - thanks!! It makes so much sense and has really helped us focus more precisely on what we're doing when she has a wailing session!

It wasn't what I'd planned to do, but I've now dropped the breastfeeding altogether. H seems much more satisfied and contented on the formula, which in turn is making me much calmer when I'm dealing with her. Was really tearing my hair out with the non stop feeding/crying we had before.

Had my mum to stay for the last week after DH went back to work. Today is officially my first day on my own with the baby (apart from the dog of course!)- feels very strange. Managed to take baby and dog for a walk at the same time although the dog is finding it hard to adjust to having to walk in a straight line and I keep running him over with the pram!

I didn't know either, I'm way to posh for primark :cool: *waits for sarky comment from those that know I'm far from posh*:rotfl:

I just rarely buy new clothes - the main clothes we've bought new for Alice have been on sale rails either in Mothercare or the supermarkets when we've happened to be in there anyway. (Or Boots because one of OH's relatives gives us giftcards.)

Oooh Krystal you need a Peach blossom I keep seeing Oysters IRL and the more i see them the more i don't like the shape, and especially the front wheels. I was gonna get one til i tried the Joolz and loved it.

Don't knock the oyster

Actually, Hubby mentioned we should flog the maclaren earlier seeing as we're going to have to buy a double... My argument was, if we're together it would be easier to take out two singles...

Don't like the peach blossom, the baby's only rear facing in a car seat... I need one that's rear facing and lie flat for at least 1 seat...

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone else here is choosing to not vaccinate their children and if they knew of any websites with extra info I can read
up on. I took Fishfinger to the Health Visitor today and when I said I had decided against her having jabs they all ganged up on me. I stood my ground but its left me so angry and upset, and I just know next time I take her they will do it again as her jabs are due wednesday but I cancelled the appointment already. I kinda looking for info I can throw back at them to shut them up lol.
Also I am apparently feeding my baby to much!!!! Stupid people.

I just happen to be reading up about vaccines at the moment and have a few tabs open so I'll see what links I can give you. I haven't read them all thoroughly yet though so can't comment on their accuracy.
http://www.vaccination.co.uk/index.htm
http://www.knowvaccines.com/index.htm
http://www.informedchoice.info/
http://vaccineriskawareness.com/

If you want to find out information about the actual content of the specific vaccines used, medicines.org.uk is useful. Details of which vaccines are used is in the Green Book.
The ones used at 2-4 months are (manufacturer in brackets):
Five-in-one: Pediacel (Sanofi Pasteur MSD)
Pneumonococcal: Either Prevenar-13 (Pfizer) or Pneumovax II (Sanofi Pasteur MSD)
MenC: Either Menjugate (Novartris Vaccines) or Neis Vac-C (Baxter Healthcare)

You may come across claims that when Japan raised the vaccine age to two years the SIDS rate dropped to zero. This is actually not true - the SIDS vaccine damage compensation claims dropped to zero.

GISI, where did you get Henrys wedding outfit from? We have a wedding to attend next month (children invited but no coach laid on :rotfl:). It won't be a particularly 'posh' wedding but I'm not sure I currently have anything suitable for David to wear. Besides which I like having a good excuse to shop
