What's the difference between the Britax Eclipse and First Class anyway? I want it to recline, and be comfy Eclipse is cheaper and they both look the same to me.

Charlotte has an Eclipse and it's been fine. Would recommend it.

The main issue is i don't know how to sterilise his bottles

I used cold water sterilising tablets in the bathroom sink when we've been on holiday with baby bottles. It worked fine :cool:

Had a strange dream where we all met up and I was teaching everyone how to make Yorkshire puddings - !!!!!!?! :rotfl:

Have a good day all xx

On a sad note we have decided that it's for the best if we do not have any more children, all Els baby stuff is on ebay :-(((

:grouphug: That must be hard.

:rotfl:At all of us with smelly pits.

Susan, I don't generally compare my armpits, but it was one of those things where you catch a whiff of yourself and can't help but have a sniff

I will admit to having smelled mine - I've just never thought to consider it in so much detail as to compare them.

Do one of the searching geniuses want to go link me MFD's list of childminder questions again? I know it was done recently, but I can't find it .

Good morning people,

Im guessing A had the same idea as E- feed at 12 and then up at 3:30am, then refused to go back to sleep! So I put her in with us but still no sleeping, just lots of fidgeting and eating. When she was asleep before 12 though, she was kind of sobbing in her sleep (she was def asleep) and then suddenly laughing really loudly? Im guessing thats something to do with the development of her brain?

I just hope she decides to have a nap soon. I am sooooooooooooo tired. I hate being miserable!

kindof - use cold water sterilising tablets. £1 for a box usually

How do they work? I initally thought of them and thought I could fill the sink up and use them but then my friend says they have to be in a container with a lid and something to press the bottles down?

Weezle I know I was so excited cos I thought it was 6 months as well, but boo its a year lol

Ditto, thankfully E just fell asleep so I am going to hopefully have a nap on sofa

I have to say the last two nights conversations have been funny. Cervix and wiffy arm pits! It is beyond me how anyone would be scared to come and post in here. Its hilarious. And tomorrows topic will be?

They probably just think we're a bunch of weirdos.

Morning all, havent cought up the last few days and doubgt Ill get the chance so apologies if I missed anything of major importance.

Kindof - Mothercare do sterilising kits where there is a bag you fill with water and hang off a door or similar it also comes with the sterilising tabs, that way you dont have to worry about finding a container the right size either. They also have a couple of devices for heating bottles, I have one that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car if your out and about or theres one that uses the same gel in the hand warmers, but you need to keep boiling it to reset it. Alternativley its a bowl of boiling water and stand the bottle in it. If you were closer Id offer you to borrow it.

Couple of Qs for you ladies...

1) fleece sleep suits do you use them like dressing gowns? or does LO sleep in them? atm am just putting T in the ones we've been given once she gets up and I take her out of her sleeping bag and its cold.

2) those of you doing BLW how long do you leave LO with food infront of them? sometimes T eats non stop and has a good mess with her food, other time she's not intrested or just plays. Oh and Ive noticed the more mess we make the more we enjoy our food I love watching her enjoy her food.

Well waited in for washing machine repair man all day yesterday, we just got told afternoon appointment so after 12pm. Finally turned up at 6.40 after phoning an hour earlier saying he was running late! When he did show up he didnt have the part needed so still not repaired He said hopefully he can get back today or will be early next week

Then had to nip out to Tesco round the corner- put the steak on and came back to ashes! (I darent go near a slow cooker weezl!) Then had to quickly make a burger for DH's tea instead which meant As bath was a little late. Cue inconsolable baby crying at full volume for 20 mins before finally calming down. She couldnt even latch on and was being impatient so let down wasnt happening- DH then quickly got all formula stuff out from storage and made her a bottle up (I felt terrible at failing to feed her and could have pretty much cried if I had to resort to formula...:(:() thank god she eventually got there just as DH brought it up.

Hopefully I will get more sleep tonight, fingers crossed.

Sorry for being a moaning minny at the moment- thats why ive not been posting as I would just moan.

:grouphug: (And as I said to Glam - it's not moaning, it's sharing your troubles. Sometimes just being able to tell other people about something can help make it easier to deal with.)
