CAFC - a little bit of brown sugar in the warm boiled water works.....it definitely did for us when T hadn't been for 3 days....

Thanks for that Mel - I tried searching babycentre yesterday but didnt see that. I'll get him some dioralyte at Asda today. He doesn't have a fever though and kis very smily and happy so I'll hold off with doctor until Monday

CAFC - we put Thomas in what we call the 'poo position'. It involved sitting on the floor with your feet on the floor and knees up. Lie him on the slope that your knees make. It's a nice position for him to sit and look at you, and in T's case usually gets his poo out. It also works if you have a foot stool to put your feet up on and bed knees.

I definitely saw 18-24 month sleep suits in Asda yesterday, although only in some styles.

Oh dear! Thank you, it looks like i'll have to go shopping then. :D

any suggestions (following on from all the poop talk) to help babies pass their stools.

When J was a baby (so a long time ago), hv told me to give him a couple of oz of cooled boiled water, with just a drop or two of fresh orange juice in. It did the trick!

MFD - will you not put him in pyjamas? I always move to pj's by 6-9/9-12 mths, they last so much longer;)

I'm not MFD, and we have got some proper pj's, but I want my baby girl to stay my baby girl forever and babygrows make her look cute. :A

Mel Have you been to any of our Asda's on the search for bargain nappies? I can't decide whether to go to my B one, or your bigger EP one?

Happy Birthday Amber :bdaycake:


Well we are all nappied up. Just as well SIL asked Skelm Asda to put some nappies aside for her. As there was only one mega box left on the shelf. So came away with 6 boxes in all. No wipes or any other bargains there though. SIL is off to other Asdas today, so there maybe more, and Alex room will look like a nappy show room soon. :rotfl:

MFD. Wow you and Benjamin are so alike. I keep asking for baby photos of me, but my mum can't remember where she put them all. I know there are loads, because i've seen them before. Would like to see if either of mine resemble me in anyway. It really bugs me that everyone says Joe look like OH and Alex looks like OH's brother :eek:. Stamps foot, I want my babies to look like me.

JAM fab photo charlotte again.
Oh and i still don't have the activity table. My cousin said Altrincham had 3 delivered and they are flew out of the shop, before he got to them. bah... But at least he redeemed himself with some nappy bargains.

thanks all

some good tips there. I'll give them a go later, probably start with the cycling, massage and then the orange juice....

we're watching LOTR with a cup of tea and a kit kat..... trying to think of something to buy my sister for her birthday next week....eep decisions decisions....

BTW Has anyone read the magazine practical parenting? If so is it any good?

I worry he will get cold Sleepsuits are just so easy!

Som, just tell MIL you're feeding finger foods rather then expelling BLW. Probably easier for her to understand. Lol.

CAFC it should be 10% juice to 90% water if using fresh juice. That's what I was always told. OJ works and so too does brown sugar.

Thank you for ambers birthday wishes, DH was laughing at Brunos commenton facebook, 'she doesn't look a day over 11 months'

Sorry to hear you'll have to go shopping now, 3 . And for baby clothes, what a chore :rotfl:. I plan to carry on using sleepsuits for a while yet too, they are just so cute .

My MIL keeps saying how much Henry looks like my BIL. It really pees me off since OH and BIL look very alike, so why can't she just say Henry looks like his Daddy like everyone else does .
