I'm just going for a read back now, but just quickly wanted to ask if anyone comes across a cotbed on their search to please let me know. I'm having quite a drama finding a ivory/off white/cream colour cotbed, preferable with a beech coloured wood on the top!! I'm trying to find the cotbed to match existing funiture that we already have!

Toysrus...we have the henley cotbed which is cream with wooden edgining on the top, think they have a bundle offer on again too;):)

LINKY to the bundle deal

Hey there ladies,

sorry - just had to skim read a bit as there are so many posts!

Congrats 3 Muttleys!

I wanted to ask - cos I'm now 22 weeks and at that stage where I can feel lots of little kicks but OH can't feel anything (he just feels my pulse when his hand is on the bump). Anyway, my cousin suggested that if you lie in the bath you can see the movements in the water. Just tried this and couldn't see anything - although I could feel a few movements inside. Has anyone else tried????

I have tried this, but couldn't see any ripples

I've found the last 2 weeks (I'm 24 wks now) the kicks have got considerably stronger and my belly finally moves - not all the time though. Hubby has felt baby lots now. So be patient

Fuzz - I love you. In a complete non-lezza way

If I ordered it, do you think I can return if it is not the right shade? *Prays to the cotbed God that it's the right shade*

Good luck to the engaged ladies - ones I can remember are Fuzz, Emsy and Ladylegs - sending loads of labour vibes your way.
So are things starting to be reduced at the Asda baby event? I might pop down there this afternoon as I especially fancied the electric breast pump. Hmmmm.

Thanks, hun. I really want an electric pump too but think I better wait as I hear that big knockers don't always fit well in the bog-standard pumps and the Medela pump is suitable. Hoping some big breasted mummies will come forward and share their expressing secrets!

That's lovely, that is. And bargainacious. You should be a personal shopper.;)


I'm getting Braxton Hicks pretty much all the time now...I must have one lazy uterus as I've been getting the Hicks since about week 22.:eek:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: See, I never thought of that. Thought it would be a one size fits all

I clearly won't have a problem filling the pump :D

Ladylegs 36F big enough for ya?? personally I have tried tommeetimme pumps the closer to nature manual and electric, bruin electric pumps (toys r us) and medlea swing pump. Medela best by far. I have dumb boobies and supply is rubbish the BF support lot think its because of blood loss my body and heal and do milk production. Bruin pump the 'cup' is so small it left pressure marks on boob tissue and the BF worker was concenred it could contribute to a bloked milk duct. Manual pumps it took me a good 30 mins to get 10ml, I could hand express faster. TT electric same cup issue.

Sammy the wood on that cotbed is more a light oak than a beech but TBH i doubt you would notice.

Do you think? See, I would notice things like that.

Basically, we already have a perfect wardrobe and 2 x chest of drawers, so I only really wanted to add a cotbed.

But I am a bit anal in things matching :o

Thanks, Lilac, wow, you know your onions don't you?!
feedback most definitely welcome from mamas with big babylons.:D
So is hand-expressing easier for hugely engorged cow udders?
The medela is quite expensive, isn't it? Can a pump be returned after use if you wash it? Might get one if I can return it if too small/doesn't work.
SORRY, have far too many questions about this.:o
