    From what i can make out, the bike pump is bigger than the Quinny valve so it's just letting all the air out instead of being tight and letting air go into the tyre.

    Good idea Aless. My mother's just rang so i asked her opinion and she said to take it round hers and she'll get her handyman friend to look at it.

    Have thought about the Slime stuff but i wanna sell the pram asap so don't wanna spend anymore money on it lol!

    I could get enough air into it to investigate the puncture but it won't blow up hard enough to not make the pushchair wonky LOL

    Thanks for that 3, I'm beginning to think it might be better to buy a new one and just try and get a good deal on that, it worries me slightly that they have enough returns to have a website which sells them on again!

    I never thought of it like that! I'm really happy with the Zia, i love it, my only moan is the basket being so tiny. Also, if mine hadn't come with the raincover, I wouldn't have been happy to spend £24 on one!

    I bet there's other (cheaper) similar shaped raincovers though.

    My friend gets actual pampers in size 6... But then her boy is only a dot... slightly taller than Aimee but very skinny... He'd probably get something different if he was bigger...

    We used to get size 6's, but once he'd out grown them, the next available size was adult xxxs. The difference between those and the size 6 was huge!

    I'll probably keep them until V's bigger, they'll be handy for overnight nappies when she's potty training, they're very absorbant. :)

    I guess I was just trying to (poorly) say was try not to worry and it will all be okay.

    (lame but I can't seem to put thoughts into words tonight...:o:o)

    I get what your saying, but I didn't come on and ask how to wean E, I mearly asked what to do if he wants more than 9oz, and people (helpfully) offered their views, whether it be make two smaller bottles, or wean, I had no intentions (still don't) of weaning him now.

    Anyhoo that was last night lol :)

    Oh and ps I cant change him to hungry baby milk cos he has bad colic so is on comfort milk.

    EA Ive no idea if the rice is as hard to digest lol I will have to ask HV, although I guess by the time it comes to wean E most babies have got over their colic havent they?

    Glam - thanks, I hate to say it Aless, but I did think it came across as an attack on me, I know you didnt mean it that way now, but it did feel like that, and yes E is finishing 7oz bottles has had some 8oz bottles too, he has between 35 - 45oz a day (i've wrote every feed down since he was born lol) which according to the box he should just be having 30oz a day, I know it might slow down, he could be having a growth spurt or something, thats why I asked about the 9ozs

    (anyhoo like I said before lol lets forget about it now xxx)

    What ebay sniping things do people use and whats these plus points?

    Happy Birthday Rhys

    Nappy question, Ive seen a advert for pampers that keep babies dry for 12 hours? well do they do them in E's size (size 3) I have the superdry ones which he uses now, but take this morning for example (and its happened a few times), he woke at 4am and I think it was just cos his nappy was full, I fed him but he only took 2oz then fell asleep till 7.45am, we put him to bed between 9pm and 10pm and change his nappy then, he usually wakes at 1am-ish for another feed, and I dont change him then as sometimes I manage to dream feed him (HV also told me not to worry about changing him in the middle of the night unless he's had a poo), so are there any nappies I could buy for him to last him the night, cos I really think he would have slept longer from his 1am feed if his nappy wasnt full (I bet you all just tell me to change him in the middle of the night lol)

    Well E has fallen asleep twice in his swing this morning lol, he's never done that before, he usually has to be cuddled or rocked to sleep during the day no matter how tired he is, but he just sucked his dummy and away he went (the swing wasnt turned on lol either)

    Yep the Pampers Babydry (green packet) comes in 3's as we use them for William at night and the active fit ones in the daytime.

    Happy Birthday Rhys :bdaycake:

    And Happy belated Birthday J :bdaycake: (3 do you need to change your signature now ;))

    We've had a lovely weekend even though Isla's been as grumpy as anything. Her gums are so white and Sophie's in danger of losing a leg soon! My brother brought her a really cute Winnie the Pooh summer hat and romper for her hols too, I'll invite them around for tea more often :rotfl: Isla was late getting to bed last night but then slept from 9pm-5.30am with no middle of the night feed :) I woke up at 5 and wondered why she wasn't in the bed with me already!

    Today's mission is to post my ebay bits and try to do the tech stuff needed to my o2 joggler. Reading on hduk you can reformat them so they work like a touchscreen netbook and their £50 now on offer. My brother works for o2 so very :money: as got his staff discount too, it was only £37!

    Hope everyone's well and poorly babies (and parents) get well soon x x

    dont really know what to say with the weaning thing as i have experienced both, jake was always a hungry baby, guzzled his milk and i started him on some baby foods at 17weeks, jasmine was happy on her milk till just before 6 month, but they do advise between 17 and 24 weeks, so it really bugs me that 5months is described as early!! its not its after the 'allowed' start time!! anyway, my point is every baby is diff and just cos one baby is happy to wait till 6 month another may not! and at the end of the day it really doesnt affect anyone else so i dont care if someone weans their baby at 4 months old, its up to them...
    That's interesting (and very strange) - when did it change?
