I am a bad mum too.. mine had a duvet from birth.. sometimes with a sleeping bag as well.. and a vest and sleepsuit.. and sometimes a cardy as well.. and all this rubbish about putting them to sleep at the bottom of the cot.. what a pile of... mine have creeped their little caterpillary selves UP the cot so they were squashed but I have NEVER in my life seen a baby wriggle down a cot.. that doesn't fit in with the way they wriggle about..

I weaned them when they wanted it be that 6/7 weeks for DS1 and 11.5 months for DD3..

they were swaddled and laid on their sides, fronts or back depending on where they were happy..

And they didn't have pillows until they came out of their cots when they potty trained themselves.. at 18months - 3years

I am very much an 'anything for a peaceful life' kind of person!

If I want advice I'll ask several people and do what I think is best for me whether that is a combination of the replies or something entirely different.. and I have the most fiercely independant, well-adjusted, down to earth nutty children ever.. and they are never ill.. or time it with school holidays!

What are you not supposed to swaddle a baby now? I had Keira wrapped up like moses as it was only thing that calmed her down, she used to punch herself in the chops when she was asleep and wake herself up, those wee hands soon got trapped around herself. Do babies get pins and needles? I bet she did a few times :rotfl:

Oh yeah and I agree babies don't seem to wriggle down. I found Keira had wriggled herself between the bars one time though, had an arm and a leg poked right through and her face against the bars, still asleep!

Hmm my sister re-added me on facebook, and she's got her profile pic of us when we were younger. What's that all about. I still hold a grudge for the way they were with me when Amber was 2 weeks old and clearly could have done with some support. Should i just let it go or what? I can't be arsed with the drama her and my mother always bring, so i'll keep my distance regardless...

We've never done feet-to-foot either, even when Seth was a newborn with his swaddling blankie

That makes sense Jillie. Did you work at TC before or am I comfusing you with someone else?

yep!! so whenever anyone wants a holiday pm me!!

Jillie is it a busy job you are going back too? I always think if your busy time flies, so the day won't drag by and you have time to sit and think about missing Kian if you know what I mean? Obviously you will miss him! But you aren't dwelling on it.

I don't know though, I haven't had to do that, luckily I guess

thankfully, its a busy shop and i know once i get back into work, the days will fly by. am finishing early tomorrow so i can pick K up. the summer 2011 brochures have just gone on sale and its 'lates' season too so i should be busy all day. tomorrow is mainly doing the boring stuff that has to be done but i;m sure it will go quick enough.

Is that not the name of the bridge type thing that you go onto when you come of the M62 and you can see the Trafford centre on your left? Or would that just be the M60?

Edit: you beat me to it.

Can you believe OH has not peed me off all weekend. Alex has been an Angel and Joe had been a good boy. OH and Joe currently freezing their backsides off at Lactics (OH got some free tickets), so took Joe for the "experience". Am waiting for a call to go get them when its over. They could walk, but no doubt Joes little legs will not allow it, that or its too cold pitiful pleas.

Also had progress with Alex feeding today. This morning I made a fry up and he had tastes of sausage, bacon, tinned tomatoes and black pudding (yuck), all was nom nom nom.

And some one (can't remember sorry) was singing the praised of some Hipp Organic food that comes in tubs. Well he had some stage 2, vegtable and couscous and ate it all. No gagging and all stayed down. :T

Oh their back, and OH has had to carry Joe on his shoulders half the way. Will go get him a cup of tea, for being a good boy too. pmsl

I was forever being wittered at for swaddling my youngest 3.. maybe 'they' decided it is ok now.. but the general advice has changed a million times while I have been churning mine out..

Mine spent the first 6 months wrapped up like maggots lol

Its dead easy from Barton Bridge, only a couple of mins

Come off M60, left at r'bout for TC
At TC r'bout go straight over & straight over the next one
Over a humpback bridge
Round a big bend (sweeps to the right)
Left turn onto Guinness Road - onto an Industrial Estate
Next Left - last unit on the left.

I think anyway - thats from memory.
