    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?

    Morning all..

    :bdaycake: _party_ :DHappy Birthday Amber! :D _party_ :bdaycake:

    Lovely lie in this morning, got up at 9am. Dunno who made Rhys sleep so long but not complaining :)

    Another day with no plans. Got friends coming over on Sunday afternoon so might get on with blitzing the house today instead of last minute for a change :o Breakfast has just finished with Rhys blowing Weetabix and fruit spitty raspberries at me.. _pale_ :(

    Hope everyone has a good day xx

    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:

    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. :D
    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.

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

    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 :p. 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 :D.

    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 :o.

    She's eating a custard doughnut after unwrapping her presents.

    Mfd I found it hit and miss for larger sleepsuit sizes. Supermarkets are better but ask when they get new stock in. They only seem to get a few packs at a time so grab what you see and don't let go!
