    BRILLIANT news, well done you!

    How old do you think he will be when he outgrows it? We've got the asda one but could really do with another one thats a bit easier to clean :o

    ...
    Chris was happy to sit in an antilop in the ikea restaurant when I was pg, so 2y+ but he's quite small so not sure Seth would be as comfy for that long, having said that we stopped using the high chair at home for him when he was about 18mths. The harness straps could be knotted together to allow for a taller baby and the actual harness is suitable for 3yo i think so that should be fine :)

    MFD I sent you a txt today but I'm not sure I have the right number :s did you get it?

    Time for an admission :o someone here sent me a txt about a hungry caterpillar outfit a few weeks ago, I have no idea who sent it though :o Do you care to reveal yourself? :D

    :wave: Hi Gill. Not sure on sleep tips as Alfie is pretty good. We have a relaxing bedtime routine - bath, boob, bed - that we stick to and keep everything dark and quiet at night feed. Seems to work for us. Glad you are enjoying being a mummy :) I am too.

    Squishy my pandora bracelet arrived today and I love it! If you register with http://www.unforgettablemoments.co.uk/ you get a code for 10% off (I ought to be on commission :rotfl: )

    Hi SJ - love the pic of Alfie in your avatar - he's so cute! What time do you usually start your routine?

    We had a couple of green poos last week, I'm sure you've already checked this but in my case it was because I was swapping boobs too quickly (I don't normally so don't know why I did this time lol) so he was getting too much foremilk. Apparantly it's also common in hotweather if they're feeding more frequently and digesting it too quickly.

    MFD and Glam - thanks for this advice. It does make a lot of sense coz he does look too tired and stimulated- his eyes get so big and wide and fixed. He doesn't nap a lot through the day some days so I think that doesn't help. He's had a touch of colic the last few days as well which hasn't helped but seems ok tonight.

    I started slightly earlier tonight and he was in his basket for 10.15. He kept whinging while I was in the room but was fine when I left so we left him alone and he's now fast asleep! It's probably helped that he was so tired from not sleeping last night, altho he has napped a lot today, so from tomorrow I'm going to start watching out for when he gets sleepy in the evening. I have 4 different baby books and none of them give any advice like that - no wonder I mised this forum lol :beer:

    This is the first time DH and I have sat downstairs on our own since he was born!!
