Buttons, nope, stopping now Hope Keira is better soon xx

Rhys just woke up.. went to check on him thinking we were getting into record territory now but found him just waking up Thanks aless and caz. I reckon he's just extra sleepy at the minute then.. will carry on thinking anything more than 40mins morning and afternoon is a bonus!

I remember when Keira was 1, she used to have two naps a day.

She'd get up around 8 I think, sleep at 11ish for an hour, then she'd go back for a nap around 2/3 and bedtime was about 8/9/10 - that one was always a mare, depending on how long the 2am nap was. She used to pull a cushion off the sofa, put it on the floor and lie down on it, before she did that, she would just lie down wherever and have a kip :rotfl:

Caz, sounds like you may be due a wee payout! Can you play with entitledto to find out? Doesn't usually take long to sort out anyway. Fingers crossed for a large sum so you can all go out and have some fun!

My loft is almost all floored, and with all the junk out, it looks huge! And there is lots of head space with the rafters moved up just a little! I'm so excited, I need another £500 so I can get my window and stairs in! Then the rest will be done bit by bit.

Elle_Gee Well done! I am envious and proud of you, I lasted on the expressing for 3 months and found it too tough so well done indeed! You are a stronger woman than I :T

Hope everyone is well, mainly lurking but posting on the weightloss posts.

Mazcabs I use the TTCN anti colic bottles and I now hate them, midway through feed or just as we are about to give feed, the little rubber valve falls off the bottom making E swallow more air if we dont catch it in time, not good if you ask me

Just caught up quickly while E is asleep, I'd love the size 2 teats please (that sounds screwy doesnt it after I've slagged them off lol, but they are helping I think and as long as I catch the valve before it falls off its ok, I am going to email them to complain though)

Ok I am gonna hve to log off now, I need to get to boots and get some colief and more milk

Speak later (hopefully lol)

We are going to Spain on 26th June. I'm a bit worried about how hot it will be for K and if I had the choice I would have gone earlier.
OH has set holidays so we have to go when we can.
Are you not tied into school holiday dates?

We go to Majorca on the 22nd, holiday dates, the school is officially against it but the headmistress will give you a week so long as it's not May as she thinks the holidays are a rip off in the school hols. As far as I'm concerned so long as the government won't deal with the holiday companies they can go poke their fines where the sun don't shine. :cool:

LOL I don't even know if we get the fines up here?? Our schools break up 25th June this year so its still cheap time for us.

Maz, I would be interested in your nappy price stats too please
Tesco have Giga boxes of huggies atm, 156 size 4+s for £22.99 which is 14.7p each

I have never had this problem and whilst I predominantly BF I have been using mine for over a year.

If I were you I would be asking the lovely SS to create one of her lovely very strongly worded emails to TT explaining that whilst you would love to endorse their product on your mum-internet-group you are unable to do so because you appear to have faulty ones and see what they do.

Do you cold water sterilise? I think it does funny things to the rubber...

Is there a nap routine generally suggested for 1yr+? *shrug*

Just wondered if we could/should expect one nap of two hours in the middle of the day to become a norm or if Rhys' is just extra tired (busy growing?) at the minute.. :cool:

At 12 months Benjamin was having roughly 45 mins - 1 hour in the morning and then 1 1/2 - 2 hours in the afternoon.

At 13 months he decided that 2 naps was for babies so now he usually only has 1 nap in the afternoon for 2 hours (normally) but sometimes he is really hard and only has 40 mins :cool:


They are all very different though.
