Susan - I am so pleased to hear that you and ALice watch TV. I know that sounds daft - but I think your a great mum and like your advice etc but you've never made a TV ref before and I did wonder :rotfl: *BTW that wasn't meant to be cheeky*

:rotfl: She mostly watches old stuff on videos (e.g. Postman Pat, Thomas the Tank Engine, Bagpuss, Trumpton, Camberwick Green, Mr Benn etc.) but we also watch Charlie and Lola, Alphablocks and Numberjacks on iPlayer. I'm not that keen on a lot of modern children's TV but I wanted to make sure she watched some contemporary children's TV because I know that people who haven't done that as a child (e.g. those who didn't have a TV or lived in another country) often feel left out by children's TV reminiscing. She also has some Winnie the Pooh videos and occasionally we watch Little House on the Prairie together.

Actually I'm sure I mentioned to you before that when OH was at Royal Mail working a late shift when she was 20 months, I used to put her to watch an episode of Charlie and Lola after her bath just to give me a small break.

ETA: Because I had to go back and check, here it is.

I like that approach. We like something special - the repetition is helping her learn new words. I also quite like the new playschool - show me, show me.

ETA - just seen the post you were replying to. How funny - I said pretty much exactly the same thing as I did this time :rotfl:

How far up the boob is the lump? Try and support her with the hand furthest away from the lump and use the closest hand to just smooth it down... Nothing to vigourous, just firm... You don't want to be jiggling the boob around or you'll give yourself nipple trauma while she's latched on...

It's underneath and close to the nipple, I tried massaging it with her latched on earlier and kept popping her off accidentally. I now have a hot water bottle wedged between my boob and the desk cause my tea went cold.

I'm knackered, too many things in one day. The garage have agreed to swap my car though, currently trying to explain to DH that I do not want another Citroen.

Thanks for best wishes earlier, went off and had a little cry, was fine until I gave Erin a hug then I started, I just feel it's too much for her to have to deal with so young.

Thanks for the congrats, all. I do know it's A Good Thing (minus the £5k pay cut ), I just never wanted this day to come! And I'm trying to focus on the positive aspect of it being a contract and that meaning we can have more bebbies.

£5k, no problem, :cool: no seriously, you're very brave, it's ok though, surprising how you manage when you have to, I gave up altogether. Hope it works out for you and when's the next LO gonna be? :A
