Ooh new posters yay, stay and tell us all about your babbas please Where (roughly) in the N.East are you 2boysmam?

Hi BeenieCat. We in Durham. Have 2 boys - bet couldn't guess that one! One 5 year old, and one 5 week old. Had a bad time with the oldest when he was a baby, and latest has been such a chilled out boy, think i have been spoiled the last few weeks by him being so good ! Now he's making up for it.:o

Have fun at work csh, don't miss me too much

Was just wondering whether I should! We're in Luton (shocking given my username isn't it!), have a 20wk old giant. Born 10lb6oz and just discovered he's crossed the 20lb mark when I got him weighed today. Started weaning at 3.5mths because of his size, along with BFing. Been expressing since birth as he wouldn't latch and the doctors wouldn't release him until his blood sugars reached certain levels. If you really want to !!!! me off tell me that a mom can't solely express for longer than a couple months!!

Yep - GeeGee's tomorrow but its given rain

I CBA to dress up but everyone else is so I guess I should - think black trousers and a shirt may have to do!

I was checking the weather earlier for OH - looks like rain for Weds and Thurs, but only light rain.
Don't forget your brolly.

ETA: Jillie are you still about? BBC news have just said flights over parts of Ireland and Scotland will be restricted again tomorrow.

Ahh there's a few of us from the N.East on this thread, i'm inDarlington. Opposite way round for me, my first was really chilled out, never cried or complained lol, but my 2nd has a right set of lungs on her :rotfl:

As long as his nappies are the same i should think it'll pass, they do have their moany off days, i wouldn't worry though.

Wow that's a chunky babba

Elle and Tigs on this thread both had premmies and solely expressed long term, elle still is and he's nearly 1, so we're all full of admiration and support here!!

We wouldn't dare! We have a few wonderful Mummys on here who've solely expressed for a very long time! :A

We like to see pics of new babies too. To make us all broody.

Wow. Nice to know there are others! The midwives and health visitors were, for the most part pretty negative about it. The number of times I walked out of a baby clinic fuming!

10lb 6oz beats mine by 4oz !! But he did get weighed last week at 12lb 10oz, so has been piling it on!

We have a couple of sole expressers on here andrea. Elle is the main one and she soley expressed for 6 1/2 months then did expressed mixed with formula for health reasons and still is and Rhys turns 1 in 2 weeks time, so I dont think you will find anyone on here tell you a mum cant express for that long !! Well dne for sticking at it though xx

Oh and elle is a BF peer support worker now specialising in expressing if you need some advise at any time x

Wow 20lbs already! :eek: I think Jack's heavy to carry about

Jack was 18lbs 11oz when he got weighed in A&E last night - saves a trip to baby clinic

He's just woken up - I don't know what to doooooooooooooooooooooooo!
He has gone back off with dummy and lullabies but how long for???

Might try the radio on all night one night (when I CBA to find the damn thing)

3 - I'm taking the car in so if it rains I'll sit in the car but just said to OH, I hope that IL's and BIL don't think they can traipse in and out of the car with muddy shoes!
I can only fit me, Jack and 2 others in my car so someone will get wet
