thanks JAM! i booked the breakfast as i thought it would save the hassle of finding somewhere and having a Pram and bags etc! Erin will also eat her fair share so its not too bad, still £20 cheaper than last min and expedia. i think ill email them to ask about milk but cant see it being a problem as its not an unusal request!
Im soooooo excited now :D:D:D

Elle, do you have any idea how much this costs? I've found that there is a private pool for hire in northern Manc (close to Heaton Park), but I can't get any idea of price and I don't want to phone up and look stupid!

:hello: from 2-teeth Andrew to 2-teeth Rhys

It's a totally bargainous £6.50 for all three of us! The pool is owned by a local family who rent it out to friends of friends for £2.50 per adult and £1.50 per child, per hour.

I was expecting something more like £30p/hr but that's a rather random figure I'd made up in my head! :cool:

Hurrah for teeth How is weaning going now?

So I don't know what to do. Alfie is being grumpy but I think it's cos he's bored. I have had him on his play mat and then in his cot while I did some cleaning any tidying. Not really sure what to do with him. How do all you ladies manage who are on their own with their babies all day long?! On a practical level though, what do you actually "do" with a 5 month old baby?

ETA that is a "hmmm, what shall I do next?" rather than a "Oh my god, what on earth do I do?!!" type question. Just read it back and thought it looked like I was panicking

Tigs -which pool are you looking at?

The Ivy Bank Swim School, in Prestwich. It's come up a few times when I've been looking at pools in the area.

Lots of throwing up and down in the air and singing silly songs. I struggle with the same - keeping him entertained day in and day out - as we don't go to a lot of groups and stuff and I can't afford things like swimming or classes very often. Right now he LOVES to b turned upside down. Also, prop him up in a corner of the sofa with a bunch of toys immediately in front of him...this way he can play sitting up (put pillows around him in case he topples over, which he will).

We rotate...so when he gets bored of one thing, we move on to the next - and so on. Usually by the time I've gone through all my tricks to keep him entertained, it's naptime .

I can't get him to have three meals a day yet without throwing one of them up, though that may be my choice of food rather than any problem on his side! He is loving his half-weetabix in the morning, that's now set in stone. The other meals, he is showing a definite preference for my home-frozen & mixed purees, rather than shop-bought jars. And he's coping better with the slight lumpiness of them, so I think he's ready for Stage2 next time I'm shopping.

Am starting a nappy trial now - I've always used Pampers or Huggies new baby style before (coz that's what I stockpiled). Have just bought some Tesco Baby Essentials (green packet) to see how those work out for him.

Hi Ladies

Just after a bit of advice from well anyone really but I guess more so anyone who had a c section, although it might not even be linked to that?

2 weeks post Landen joining the world and Im starting to feel a bit more human (getting my hair cut today helped) but I've noticed I really dont have much of an appetite these days. It may just be the heat (as I really dont fancy anything hot) but a comment was made earlier to me about my eating and now Im concerned..... but i just dont feel hungry, im having breakfast and dinner and snacks inbetween, but the comment was triggered by me declining lunch and there have been a few other comments thrown around which are making me really paranoid that there is something wrong with me.....

Thanks Aless

CAFC Are you losing weight? If you're not, and you are still eating breakfast, dinner and snacks and you feel ok in yourself then possibly you are fine. Your appetite may have just naturally decreased from pg level if you are FF.

I would make sure what you do what is healthy and if you are worried then speak to your Dr. Might also be that you're so busy with Landen that the focus is taken off being hungry.

Not sure if that's helpful or not
