IETA oooh Glam- is olbas oil ok for them? He doesnt have any blankets atm, just a sheet. he's still at the age where he needs to feel secure and snug so putting the sheet on tightly when he fist goes down seems to calm him. Plus I cant sleep without any covers so i dont like to leave him without lol

If I remember rightly they do a childrens Olbas oil, yep see here, its not so strong as the normal one

I used Olibas Oil on a tissue under my pillow when Jack was in our room :silenced:

Well Done Holly and David for being good! My sister is moaning about the new Active Fit nappies (the Sesame Street ones) leaking after 2 hours but I find them OK during the day and we use Baby Dry at night. We have had a few leaky ones but I suspect its where J is a wriggle bum and I've not put it on tight enough

Someone else was saying about them leaking and then blaming the new design but so far no probs with us. Know what you mean about the wriggly bums!!

Henry had a wee on the toilet last night :j 2nd one in about a month so lots of praise here and a special pudding of pineapple chunks and ice cream!!!

Morning everyone!

Well yesterday was a very expensive day in the muso household. Holly decided to projectile vomit her milk the full length of the sofa saturating the laptop! Of course the laptop is now completely kaput! Have to use the annoying old whirring desktop until the new laptop arrives later today and DH can set it up. All I can say is thank god for overnight shipping! I was having a meltdown without it yesterday. Any tips on controlling reflux would be great!

On a happier note we had a pretty good night. Took DH a while to get H to sleep last night. Then she woke for feed at 2.30am and slept right through til 7.30! Thats the first time we've not had to get up at least twice in the night:j She's now having a little nap in her big girl cot!

Keep vomitting child at least 10ft from laptop at all times... Or have laptop higher up!

Leather sofas are a Godsend.. I love mine!

Bin carpets or they just stink and try not to let her develop an association between eating/vomitting and pain... Mine was having baby slop at 3 because he couldn't swallow food as this association kicked in his gag reflux making him sick more!

I hate sick!

Krystal- I need to check insurance policy. Not sure that we have acc damage. Thankfully it was only one of those cheapy netbooks. We've had 2 years solid use out of it, so not too horrific.

Baby will certainly be kept a very good distance from the new one! Our floors are all laminated so don't have to worry about that and we've covered the sofa with fleece blankets. They're getting washed quite frequently at the moment.

Trouble is she keeps asking for food, we check all the other options, give her the formula and then half an hour later she'll bring it right back up again, so I have absolutely no idea how much she's actually drinking.

She was really cute last night though. She kept going to the living room door, poking her head out into the hall, shouting a load of babble then coming back in an closing the door. Repeat for half an hour! :rotfl:I'd love to know what she thought she was shouting, and who she was shouting at.

Bless her - was she copying her mother by any chance


Benjamin was very well behaved for daddy last night, waking at 5am but going back to sleep with a little cuddle. Then at 7.30am he shouted to be got up and when hubby went in Benjamin was laying on his back with his hands behind his head as if to say 'I have been waiting for you for ages' :rotfl:

Mum and dad have come over to look after him today - I hope they are having lots of fun! I am sure they are fine but I worry because he only sees them about once a month.

morning ... im ill and feel like poo sore throat and massive headache ... had to call in sick for work theres no way i could work .. but this bloody dog keeps barking which is ouch! and jaydens kicking up the biggest fuss ever should of gone work more peace x

got-it-spend-it

Yippee Jack and David :j:j:j. We had the best night for months too- 9-6:30 with no wakes in the middle. I'm so pleased that he has proved that he can still sleep through.

Gym- we've had an Antilop since H was about four months and he's always been able to sit in it (although he is quite big). At first we just put him in it at the table while we ate so he got used to it. He now loves it. You could always try Guy in one in the Ikea cafe.

Hugs for your rubbish morning, 3. V sounds very cute though.

Hope you feel better soon, SM.

I absolutely do not poke my head out of the door and shout 'J stop banging' a million times a day.

I've done my lexulous move - I forgot we were playing.

Is it possible she has developed lactose intolerance or something as well?

Could you try a different milk for a while see if it helps (I got soya milk or pregestamil on prescription for mine)

Mine had milk so thick the hole in the teat was huge lol...

I really hope this one doesn't have reflux.. I've done 2 so far. and it isn't pleasant.. I felt my entire house stank

Sami I love Edgar's name, if we ever have a second boy I think it'll be his name - OH is totally sold because he thinks Edgar Davids has the coolest name ever!
OMG OMG why have I never heard of him!?!?!? Edgar's name comes from http://fvnorthwestern.com/crew-2/edgar-hansen/

'Sophie' is the giraffe teether right? Why is it so amazing? OHs dad is off to France shortly and as I'm cheap, I was planning to get him to pick one up for us, but figured I'd need to justify why he must get it?!
it just is Ed loves his, he's worn away half the markings from the constant chewing
Tara sorry but the tan hand mark made me laugh :rotfl: Did also make me think I need to be more careful, 4 weeks 6 days til we get married :eek: Have you pics of your wedding dress? I need inspiration
I got my dress from bhs about 3 weeks before the wedding, thankfully it just needed taking up a little which was done within a couple of days by a local seamstress piccy[LINK REMOVED]
We've been up ages - Guy decided 4.45 was wake up time and didn't want to drop back off, wasn't 'my night' but got up all the same so we've been playing and only now has he gone back to sleep! Took him to the docs yesterday to get his head checked out after our trip down the stairs, thankfully he's fine, I felt like the most awful parent ever though, was saying to the doc I don't know how anyone could hurt a child on purpose as I felt so awful doing it by accident, you must be totally stone hearted to do it on purpose

Busy day today, off to Ikea once it opens (debating getting an Antilop - when would he realistically start using it?) then need to go to the mortgage peoples, sort out my house survey, clean the house properly for tomorrows viewing and sort out all my c*rp to take to do a carboot on Sunday morning, tired just thinking about it

I think the antilop is best for when they can sit up well on their own, we did BLW so he was sitting when we started anyway, I think they are fabulous tho. Ed hates the expensive chicco polly, we bought for Chris because its not upright enough for him.

I've had mine on prescription since I was 15, back in the days when clarityn was horrifically expensive! They moved me to neoclarityn when that stopped working.

I think I'll buy some zirtek save hassle of docs appointment!

We had a really really good night. He was in bed at 8.45 which is the earliest so far. We went to bed at midnight anh he was stirring a bit and kicked his sheet off, but he slept until 5am! He went back until 8am altho he did keep whinging, snuffling and squealing inbetween sleeps. I'm not getting my hopes up for this being regular thing as the heat makes him sleepy and he has a bit of a cold i think.

He was really snuffly when DH did his nappy this morning, so much so that he wouldnt leave for work (T was in his chair) until i came down coz he didnt want to leave him alone. I think it's just a cold and a result of lying on his back all night but I'm just a bit concerned with it being friday and the doctors being closed all weekend. Do you think there's anything they can do to help or should i just keep him sat up all day? He seems well in himself and is feeding with no problems (he struggled on wed eve when cold first started) so he cant be too blocked up.

Hope everyone else is ok and had a good night

don't buy zirtek though get the un labeled cheepy ones that will just say citrazine or get the loratadine (sp?) there both on the ok list and about the same price.


oooh MFD - they're talking about step-mums cutting their step kids hair without asking the mum first on The Wright Stuff
