BM - I've been really stinky since having T. I've just changed from amplex to sure 24hr and it's sorted me out completely. It stings when I put it on tho!

ETA when I went to the 'weaning party' the HV told us that when the babies are on three meals they should ideally only be having milk first thing and in the evening, with possibly a feed middle of the day. She gave us a maximum amount of dairy that they should have (including yoghurts and food made with milk) but I'd need to look it up in the leaflets

That's interesting because a friend of mine was told her LO wasn't getting enough milk and that she should be having 20oz as well as three meals.

Sorry, that sounds a bit critical but I really don't mean it that way, just interested that HVs give such different advice. H's milk is still breast milk on the whole so I don't think that counts as dairy, but I never bother to go to the HV anyway so don't know what they advise :rotfl:.

OMG I just did a test sniff, and while I am not overtly stinky, there's significantly more "natural odour" on the right!

Molly is in one-handed Downwards-Facing Dog yoga position eating her castaway dinner pieces of potato with her free hand :rotfl: Apparently floor-seasoned dinner is yummies.

Thanks gisi

Well on the milk front, his milk box says he should have 7 ozs three times a day between 6 and 12 months which he is def getting

Just had text from brother, he is having another colonoscopy tomorrow he has chrons and it was under control, he even managed to get himself off all meds, then he went to a wedding and got food poisoning from the starter as did 17 other people including the bride, and it's kicked his chrons off again, he is back on meds He did get grand compensation from the hotel as did the other who got food poisoning but i feel really sad for him, that it's affected his chrons

That is awful for your brother and awful for the bride (and the 16 other people). What was the starter?

I just did the sniff test and neither side was stinkier than the other :rotfl:.

My armpits appear to smell the same :rotfl: I use mitchum, I read on the beauty board they changed the ingredients and loads of people arent finding it as effective. I quite fancy trying that sure max 24hr one but its well expensive!

Evening all. Just sitting here quetly for a few mins while a certain someone gets over the indignity of being put to bed :rotfl:. Then when she is settled I can start to clatter in the kitchen. I picked our first sweet red pepper today, and I'm going to grill it with some other veg and cook some kale with garlic and things, and have it with some cucumber salad if I can find one that isn't too bitter. I've not had much luck with the last few and keep having to throw them away.

I can't detect a difference between my armpits, but I'm not at all whiffy today. It is not something it has ever occurred to me to do before

I wonder if it's possibly...and don't take this the wrong way...a weight thing? I'm about 3 stone heavier these days than I was in uni and I notice a definite underarm difference. Speaking of, I really should get back into my WW, shouldn't I?

Aless I'm 53kg and noticing I can't really skip my shower any more (although I often do anyway...). I'd be more inclined to think hormones.

She said 20 oz was the max they should have and as an example she said two lots of 8oz then the rest as yoghurt etc. She said to give them water in sippy cups with each meal. I thought it sounded different to what I'd heard on here. I quite liked the idea of it tho as it would make my life easier lol.

I've just had a frustrating conversation with vertbaudet. I ordered T a pair of booties in 9-12. He's not quite 5 months and they're too small! (he's just gone into 6-9 coz he does have big feet) I phoned to arrange an exchange and she took my new order but wasn't going to do anything about a collection until I asked.

She asked would I be in over the next 1-5 days. I said I'd be on for some but not all, but I could arrange to be when neccessary. She said they couldn't tell me when but did i have a safe, dry place i could leave them. i said no and she sounded shocked (surely it's not unusual??) and said could i post them back instead, but i'd have to pay postage. I refused and said it was unreasonable to expect someone not to leave the house for 5 days! She asked if I could leave them with a neighbour and I said not one who could guarantee to be in all that time! I asked what would happen if they came when i was out and she said they'd leave a message...I said i'll do that then....you know when you get off the phone feeling quite exhausted?!

A question for anyone who bottlefeeds either through formula or expressing - do you change the teat size and how often? when T has a bottle he still has size 1 and doesnt seem to mind. I'm just wondering if I'll need to get size 2 or 3 at any point. we use tommee tippee closer to nature.
