We've had a really rough day today. T has been very whingy with his teething and I'm very stressed! Also just found out that DH is going on a training course the day after I'm at my friend's hen do so not going to be able to get drunk as originally planned as he won't be around to look after T

Kindof - Does it have any other settings or just an on/off switch. Depends what you're trying as to how long they will need, and how much water they retain from the wash..... if you're doing clothes etc, esp baby clothes/underwear I normally dry them off for about 30 minutes in ours and then air dry indoors for the rest so they dont shrink too much/get scratchy, so out when they are still damp to the touch...

towels and bedding etc i just let go till its perfectly dry..... you can stick a tennis ball in a sock which does the same job as the dryer balls, knocks it all about a bit....

Hey, hope everyone is well:)

Thank you for all your lovely comments about my beautiful children.

Susan, have you done a test yet to confirm pregnancy, have I missed it?

Been to Asda this morning, we went at 8am and it was great, really empty;) T has her jabs tomorrow along with her 8wk check.....I hate them, just as she is becoming slightly more content and smiley, along come the jabs to make her grumpy again!! She is still only waking once in the night now, I am still tired but obviously not as bad as I was.

Sorry to hear about the jobs MFD and BM I will keep my fingers crossed for you both.

3 - I hope V responds well to the bed:)

My daughter is about 6 and a half months and I am beginning to wonder if her feeding routine is right or wrong (as the advice I get from my local clinic is not exactly useful!)

SHe has breakfast at about 8-8.30 or 5 tsps of usually Heinz cereal mixed with water followed by 5oz of follow on formula

Lunch is a 7oz formula followed about an hour later by some fruit puree (currently one of the Organiz pots)

Tea is half a jar of baby food (up to now she's eaten whatever we've given her) or 5 tsps of Heinz dinners mixed with water followed by 5oz of formula

Last bottle is 7oz formula about 9pm then she usually sleeps through.

Unfortunately, she has chicken pox at the moment and we've had a few disturbed nights. This morning I had to give her 5oz at about 5am but then she didn't drink all her breakfast milk.

I am wondering whether to increase her 'solid' intake and give her a full jar at tea time then reduce her milk.

Also, we have wondered about the flavoured waters - would these be better with her meals rather than milk?

Thanks in advance
