exactly what susan said. she's a wise woman

I don't think I've ever been called wise before. I'm just muddling along the same as everyone else.

Sami, BFing survey done. Not sure of her questioning though if she's aiming for overseas opinions. They're very 'Australian', which, being one, I understood, but not everyone is going to get what TAFE is, and the household income in $AU.

I wonder if all these fidgety babies is because of the cold? Sophie's been waking up because of it, think I'm going to have to put her in mittens to sleep!

She's started interacting with her bear, which is really cute. Mostly she tries to eat it, but also sits and strokes it.

Thamks Som i'll check them out, well E decided to wake from his very short nap just as I was dropping off

I am wondering if E woke cos he was cold as well, he had PJs on and a sleeping bag but it was freezing when we got up, I have the same issue as Som, its cold when I get him out of his sleeping bag, so how can I keep him warm?

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.

I used to eat my food then do the washing up and then clear up Alice's stuff. It meant I gave her plenty of time but I wasn't just sitting watching her and waiting. But obviously that only works if you eat in the kitchen.

I'm tempted to put the heating on but have been putting extra clothes on instead. OH and Alice are both very warm so they don't need it. Alice is still in summer nighties and if she sleeps under her 4.5 tog duvet she gets really sweaty. Meanwhile I'm sleeping in winter pyjamas and socks with an extra 13 tog duvet on top of the 10.5 tog one. And having a hot water bottle. And OH sleeps with his legs sticking out of the bed because the 10.5 tog duvet makes him too hot.

OH has informed me that tonight is going to be the coldest night since the spring and there could be a frost. This is :eek: because we are camping tonight (just in the garden). Alice is very :j about camping - we haven't been since she was three months.

Oh Susan, stock up on some thermal undies! Aldi/Lidl usually do good ones if you catch them when they're in...

It's cold here, too. I need to swap Finn's sleeping bag to the winter one, I think. And acquire some fleecy sleepsuits!

Dodgy hugs for Glam, too, I forgot to say last night. Sorry you're having such a rough time of it .

Susan, brrrrrr for camping. I'd definately be getting some hot chocolate in.

Have any of you ladies got any experience of silver fingerprint jewellery? I'd really like to get a charm for my mum because I'm not sure when she'll see Sophie again.

Question re feeds on hols we are going to the lakes in two weeks and i am all confused about what to do with elliots bottles, how will I sterilise them?? And how will i heat his milk up without a microwave?? Someone suggested making his bottles up like normal minus a oz of water then when he wants a bottle boil kettle and add the oz of water and it should make it warm for him??

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

Weezl, the sterilising thing is 12 months but I must admit once Millie was crawling around eating dirt I couldn't see the point so I gave up, that was long before 12 months so the end is in sight!

See you have had a few answers already Kindof but we used tablets when we went to DLP and just used a biggish sandwich box plus agree with Millies mum re crawling around but I still do them at the moment. For night feeds I used to put the water in a flask and then even if it cooled I could use it with a kettle to top up with warmer water if needed....

OMG - my books came from the £5 deal thingy and they are great... I would buy some more but not sure if I need them :cool:... what age would you say Kipper books are for..they are great £4.99 each but got 4 for £1.99!!!
