CAFC - I'd read him a short story when you put him down at 8, does he have any soothing music to listen to whilst he's falling asleep?

Katies baby monitor plays the sound of waves crashing, even now it chills her out.

SJ - am living Alfies foodie pics on FB can't wait till T is eating like that, just hope she doesn't take after her dad as Mil said he never ate anything when he was little and his mum was always at docs with him. Big yeay for sitting skills x

Kindof - have you actually checked the orange sticker under your car seat to check the weight it goes to 20lb is unusual most times the weight limits are 22lb (10kg) or 28.6kg (13kg).

CAFC - your OH needs a boot up the bum! What an !!!!! grrrr

Gisi - no storage unit at lidl for us, how did you get on?

Have emailed the mura lady as suggested and just waiting to hear back. Managed a temp fix till we can get new inner tube but won't hold long.

Been to blackbushe Market this morning and got some fab bargains including a huge tub of vanish whitener for £5 so T will have nice White clothes for ages now. Took the mura and was so fab on the rough ground only issue we have is OH loves it so much we fight over pushing it!

CAFC I think we have all had a point where we felt useless with a new baby etc and that we couldnt do it, things do get better and easier and usually giving OH a kick up the bum or a good shake will help out.
The best advice i can give is that when it all seems so bad put the baby in the pram and get out, even a quick walk up the street and having people cooing at your georgeous baby usually helps make things a bit brighter. Also we are all here to listen and push out advice onto you PMSL!(you know what i mean ) xx

Takeaway sounds good, take things a minute at a time.

CAFC - I would recommend one of these soothe and glow seahorses. I bought one for T as a 'moving into his big cot' present lol. If he's whingy when I put him down I turn it on and it seems to calm him and he's usually asleep by the time it finishes. He woke up needing a nappy change as we were going to bed at midnight last night so DH changed him. He normally needs a feed or to suck on mine or DH's little finger on the rare occasions that this happens but we put him into bed with 'Bubbles' and set him playing. He stopped thrashing and whinging straight away and starting patting and stroking Bubbles. He whinged when it finished playing so we set it off again and he was asleep before the second bar!

DH is working tonight so I've had a ready meal T fell asleep in the car and is still asleep now so I got it in peace as well On my own for bath and bed duting tonight too. I think I've only bathed him 4 times since he's born (he has a bath every night but it;s DH's job!)
