Hi, I was referred here by Krystaltips...

I'm looking into reusuable nappies and wondered what people thought of Bumgenius all in ones? Having watched loads of youtube videos these are the ones I'm swaying toward...

Hi gizmodo, I just replied about them on the pregnancy thread

I recommend them, but they're a bit big for tiny newborns so you'll need size 1 reusables or disposables if you're not planning a 9-pounder Molly was 7lbs3 at birth and it was about 5-6 weeks before she was big enough for the BG.

Thanks Sugar, I had planned on disposables for about a month as recommended by people on here and a friend to have time to get into a routine. So it seems like they could be ideal.

gizmodo - Havent used the bumgenius my self but have friends who do and love them, also they scored really well in one of the tests prima baby magazine did of re usables.

sweet potato all done am just debating how to do the carrots, I dont have a steamer and am not a fan of boiling veg just because I know it wastes alot of the goodness, anyone any ideas? would it be worth buying a cheap steamer? although I have no where to store it and OH will probably laugh/cry at one more appliance.

Oh and another question when can i start T on framage frais?

Bruno, I know he's really good with his language... How is he with the "no more now" concept... Could you go in, give one cuddle and then say no more now, time for sleep?

It's a difficult one really, I kind of remember Aimee going through a similar phase and I was always very wary of letting her think I didn't want to cuddle her... Which is probably why she would still come into my room for a cuddle in the middle of the night at about 3 1/2... Probably not the best person to offer advice lol...

Beenie, someone has that highchair I think... Mabe Rmac... Or ladybird... I desperately wanted the inglesina zuma until we tested it out in the shop and it had the same flaws as the cheapo mothercare one someone had given us... Non-adjustable tray somewhere round her armpits with a gap of about 2 foot between baby and tray...

GISI, is he biting so obviously that you can take him off, say "don't bite" and leave a space of time before you offer another feed? It's unlikely that your milk supply will have decreased significantly just yet, it's very well established because of his age, and he will be very efficient at getting milk out now so that's probably not why he's biting... It is more likely to be a teething issue...

Aww, CAFC, I want one!

I'm still upstairs with very tired wingey pants who's refusing sleep. GLAM well done on J's sleeping, are you following a book? If you are, can you go forward a few chapters and tell me how to keep a toddler in bed.

Where's LADYBIRD? She's had izzy in a bed since very young. She must have some tips?

I've upset OH too. After I'd been up here 20 minutes he came upbto take her our for a drive. I told him to bog off unless he was prepared to take herding every night for the next 12 years!

He's gone to asda in a strop now. He's in for such a treat when he gets back. I bought and am wearing, primark cow print fleece all in one pj's, with feet! Sexy!

3 - you ar emy new style guru :rotfl: Good for you for sticking with it last night. if you sort it out now it'll be easier in the long run.....thats what they tell me anyway

Thanks Krystal. He's just done it again at the end of his morning feed. I think it's once he's had enough milk so I'm just saying 'No' and ending the feed there.

Som- how about one of these http://www.lakeland.co.uk/steamer-basket/F/product/1139?src=gpcoo&sq=metal%20steamer%20basket. Cheaper and doesn't require much storage space.

I'm jealous - I totally wanted that for Alice but was waiting for it to be reduced and then when I went yesterday they only had tiny ones left.

I'm planning a trip to boots at lunch. I don't mind looking to see if they have this for you. What size?

Monkey Forest - Realistically, I have to accept that we can't go. It will be 3 hours travelling each way which I think is too long at the moment But a big thank you for all the offers of a lift

snip ...

NMS - will you let me know how Liam gets on with goats milk? David has a severe dairy allergy which brings out his eczema badly so I would be interested in looking at this further if Liam's eczema improves

Aw, that's a shame you can't make it, but it is a lot of travelling

I'll keep you updated. We started last night

Congratulations to B & V - very worthy winners I think

MFD - Glad the interview went well.

Lovely Pics ladies.

Oh I've lost a quote, Glam - Liam was exactly like you described J. A Pro cruiser, good balance, could actually do some steps between me & OH, but if you stood him up he would just drop straight to his knees and crawl. I posted laast week that I think he can walk he's just too lazy to do it, and that night he walked fromt he settee to me (with encouragement) :T He's getting there but I think he's a lazy boy at heart.
