Morning, EA, could you not ring payrole and try sucking up to some nice person to do it for you straight away. I've done the 'so sorry to bother you *few tears* really need help' story over the phone!

Nice piccy Krystal, how are you feeling?

Morning everyone!

Does anyone know why my lappy won't connect to the Internet? My phone is connected to the same wifi, and is working, but the laptop can't connect ?!?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Hi all x

Lots of pages to catch up on and I started to read thru but no way am I gonna get thru everything so anyone care to update me on anything important/intresting?

Well had a really lovely time at my Mums this weekend and Tahlie for the bast part was very good. My Uncles party was fab too and loved catching with all my relatives and showing off Tahlie to them. Seems she isnt a big fan when theres lots of noise tho and got a lil grotty at one point so she had a sleep in her pushchair. She slept really well in her travel cot while at mums except for Subday night when we couldnt get her to settle but when she did she slept as normal. Mum bought her this when we went out on Sunday and she absolutley loves it Its hard find toys to amuse them at this age but this does.

Had a bit of an ebay splurge last week so have had lil parcels turning up Still got one to collect from the post office tho when I get 5 mins. Managed to get a green amber teething necklace last night too, had been bidding on one before but kept loosing Anyhoo was the only person bidding on this one so got it for the min price

Am seriously sleep deprived atm, you would think OH having time of would give me more of a rest but oh no. His snoring has gotten worse the last few days too so bannished him to the sofa. Last night and monday night were a mare, Tahlie wakes every few hours for a feed and there taking ages and then when I do put her down she's really unsettled. As OH was on the sofa last night I gave up and brought her in bed from midnight till 5am, got a lil more sleep but not much. Its so bad I seem to have a permenant headache atm, and am consantly in a bad mood with OH. Think T's disturb sleep is due to a lack of descent naps thru the day atm.

Took Tahlie to Baby clinic on Thursday and she isnt gaining as much weight as they would like and has strted dropping centiles She's healthy and alert etc and there happy that she is fed on demand, they seem to think its an issue with me being stressed or not eating properly, or even both! So am using up some of the freebie prgnacare samples I have left while looking for somewhere cheap to buy more vits, but the lack of sleep isnt going to help Anyhoo they want me to stay on 2 weekly checks so they can keep an eye on her for now, and not leave it to get worse.

Got Baby Massage at 1pm and really cba! Tho I know if I do go Ill feel better for it after, so just need some motivation. Well sorry for the major woah is me post but I havent anyone else to tell.

Morning ladies,

we'll try not to breathe our germs on anyone as Isla and I are both full of coughs and colds I got some medicine from boots that's meant to be fine for BF'ing mamas and then checked the ingredients on kellymom and it can reduce milk supply by upto 24% :eek: Just what I need when she's trying to feed more to comfort herself.

Krystal that pics lovely, she looks such a cutie.

Gym - the fairies have arrived, thank you so much. You're a star! :A

Lot's of good babies sleeping well last night I see, it was definately the night for it. Isla went down at about 9pm which is late for her but OH gave her the bath and massage and then she peed all over the bed for him :rotfl: It always takes him twice as long too but I fed her and she slept through until 7.30, had a quick feed and back down until 9am!

Are people still going to sling meet next Wed? Just checking so I can book the train.

Off to read back a bit

Beenie - put the brake on, then push the two grey buttons and give it a wiggle and it should go down then. I had the same problem and Sami had to find me online instructions! The handle needs to be on the lowest setting too.

First of all..make sure they are using charts for breastfed babies rather than the formula fed baby charts that are standard in the books!!!!!

Breastfed babies don't gain weight as fast as formula fed ones.. mainly because the milk is all digested and not made into fat.

I would tell them to eff off and not go at all.. if she is alert and happy and producing more nappies than you are happy to see in a day she is doing just fine!! She is due a growth spurt as well...

Mine were born on 75th-90th centiles for weight and ALL dropped to the 10th-25th by the time they were 4-5 months.. it is very very normal for them to drop centiles..

2-3am feeds are vital for increasing supply so make sure you do those.

Loads of carbs help.. and drink more.. not tea or coffee or alcohol.. juice or water is fine!
