MSE Parents Club Part 13

SugarSpun

I've just been reading about a fire in a neonatal ICU in Romania - the nurse left 11 babies in there by themselves for over an hour, during which time the fire broke out If she'd been there she could have got them out

RMAC I'm impressed at you mini domestic goddess! And TIA I saw the school pics on f/b-very grown up!

I'm upstairs, missing Masterchef, trying to convince my daughter that her new bed is the place to be. It's not working!

Here's my extra-grubby mini Wall-E baby...

Does everyone else have the same flash-too-bright-so-eyes-closed problem? Or does a decent camera get rid of this problem somehow?

this is what Annabel and I did this morning before my mum arrived









she even helped to clean up!

Very cute (don't tell charlie though as he'll want to do the same) I think we have the same table and chairs set! Although I've got the 6 seater version

Beenie - my nephew took a picture of Katie on his phone last week, the flash was a big surprise for her, so we had the same problem, not sure what we can do to over come it.

Amber looks too cute for words.

Rmac - love the pictures, I wish Katie would help clean up after we've been cooking.

was it actually black or very dark greeny? black black would scare me but dark green is often the result of a tummy upset or a bowl of blueberries

I'd say very very dark green, close to black. Her next poop was lighter but still dark. I think it might be the apple and blackcurrent pouch thing she had earlier

Plus they must be gutted because they put about 3 comments on at 5pmBST that they were the winners...

For me that totally would of been a perfect "IN YOUR FACE" moment :rotfl:

Beenie, some cameras have a flash reduction option. Or a red eye reduced one.

Lily doesn't care, she just stares at the camera and blinks afterwards :rotfl:

Me and DH had Nandos today, quite naughty but we fancied it. Then i spent £18 in boots buying Mini Mode stuff for Lily!

But we got our Paultons Park tickets, just need to prepare for the trip now. I have 1 month

Any tips? So far im thinking:
- Take a big backpack instead of the change bag.
- Take milk cartons instead of hot water & powder.
- Take pouch of food instead of pre made food.
- Take small pushchair instead of massive one.

Its a 1 hour coach trip and we're there from 9am-3pm.

got-it-spend-it

Picnic blanket to sit on, EA. Sippy cup and water plus a bottle of tap water to top it up with. Picnic for you and OH. Sunscreen.

I just adore those photos of Annabel, Rmac, she seems to be concentrating so hard. I cannot wait until Henry is old enough to do things like that.

Can anybody help me with BFing biting advice please? H has nipped before, but the last two nights he has been properly biting me repeatedly, to the point where I am nearly in tears. Could it be another tooth coming through? Someone tell me it's just a phase as I don't want to stop BFing yet . I wondered if he might be frustrating if my supply has dropped off a bit since going back to work, and being away from him at the weekend too, but when I squeeze my boob a good trail of milk comes out, so I'm not sure.

Wow, you converted MOTM - if only Glam loved you enough to get a FB :rotfl:

No, really I am not

Glam loves me, all Welsh ladies love me (and if they don't, I want to know why )

I think Aless meant if I really loved MFD & 3 then I'd open a FB account

Not saying, I don't love you of course

Glad V & B won, not been on all day otherwise would have got BIL to vote.

BIG ACHIEVEMENT - Put J down to bed in his cot and just left him to settle himself, no lay downs or anything, he grumbled for a minute then fell asleep :j:j:j:j:j:j:j No more waiting in his room for him to fall asleep

Oh and when he woke at 12am last night I made him go back to sleep until 4am :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

can you tell I'm chuffed???? Took 5 nights to get here - can't believe I didn't try it before.

r.mac & beenie - very cute pics!! :)

J had very dark green poo after eating blueberries! Gross!!!!
Sami - J just has a little rucksack that I put on his peg.

GISI - the advice I've heard is either unlatch and put them down for a few minutes then try feeding again or push them into the breast which get them to release their grip. Or a load no or ow.

It was just a phase with Katie, more when she was falling asleep. She stopped after I shouted ow so loud it made her jump!

She does it occasionally now when she's wriggling about but a quiet no or ow and I get a sorry and a kiss better

Krystal - we've got two of those booster seats (were half price in Tesco), one here and one at Mums and we think they're fab.

C and OH voted for V and B so glad they won.

Glam - yeah for sleeping - we're getting there with C, in her own room, going to sleep by herself in the cot and only (I say 'only' lol) waking at 11ish, 3ish and then half 6 ish.

We now have 6 teeth and can do all the blocks in our shape sorter (the same rocket one as Redmel if I rememeber from a photo last week) and put all her rings on her stacker :-)

Hugs PP xxx
