    Would that be the position - our potty means that knees are high, bottom low, the toilet would make knees about the same level as bottom IYKWIM??
    Yes - I'm sure it's position. That's the only reason I've kept the potties available - I would have put them away ages ago otherwise.

    If you're still going to be feeding him in the morning and at night then he would be fine during the day with no milk. His carer could try offering cows milk in a cup but it wouldn't be a huge issue if he doesn't drink it... And he'd probably feed quite happily at the weekend too...

    And we still get up at 2am every night as well, so I think my baby is well-fed! :p Thanks, hon & Tara too. :beer: (eta: and ladybird!)

    All this talk about bread and slow cookers puts me to shame... give me a good Warbutons Toasty any day. ;)
    Slow cookers are totally a lazy way to cook things. I love mine.

    from what you've described E seems to make more baby chatty noises words and sounds (which I think HVs and speech therapists call babble- so I meant it as a good word!) than kessie.

    Kes doesn't have the m and d sound that E has obviously mastered. So I guess I was just trying to say, look he's doing really well compared to another baby his age. :)

    Ohhhh I see lol, I didnt know what you meant lol

    He can say babababab too :)

    SS the programme was quite dusty for me but in many ways we on here are very lucky, because the most worrying part on the whole thing is where andrew has the scan, and we are really lucky because we know how it all turns out.

    I think for me it was seeing the women immediately fall in love with their babies (not something I felt in that way) and also the way in which the homebirth mum handled her pain and fear so much better than me. Eerily (SJ did you feel this too?!) she had the same pool as alfie and kessie had so it felt all the more massively direct a comparison.

    I think you will find it poignant, but there are all happy outcomes IYSWIM?

    ...

    ...

    Chris got bitten by that H boy at nursery yesterday :( he kept saying he wanted to go home once we got in preschool room but then spotted his key worker hadn't put her name card in her pocket on the register thing so she distracted him with helping her do that and he wasn't too fussed when i said bye then :cool: hopefully today he'll be ok.

    3 - are you about? might you be near brom tesco soon? i could do with a favour if you are :A

    Anyone seen a properly waterproof winter coat I can get for Chris? all the ones i'm seeing are either michelin man esque and or just showerproof. tog24 have a nice one but its 2 separate jackets and is £30 was hoping to get one for <£20 really.

    and just so you know, I can feel my cervix when its low n soft but not when its high n firm ;) :rotfl:

    Half Price Perfumes are letting people who don't pay the tenner use their secret sale area to clear out for Christmas, if anyone wants to stock up on gifts. 5% extra off with code >LOVEHPP< but I can't figure out how to get Quidco to work because you have to click through that link.
    if you open the quidco link in a tab, then use your special link in another tab and buy it 'should' still track through ;)
