  • Ayana slept through again :T:T Got the police coming today, Im making a statement about the p!sshead neighbour who shouts every other day.

    Happy birthday to redstar and twins MFD.

    Button- your neighbour will prob like a gag from the sounds of it!

    Well ive had a !!!! night and am totally wrecked, it's 3 nights in a row now vie had 6 hours sleep or less.

    Sorry you had a rubbish sleep kind of. Do you think he needs his milk increasing? Sorry, im not sure whether youre weaning? If not, maybe a little babyrice before he goes to bed? Im not an expert but its been a few days and if the calpol isnt working... ?

    Good luck all first day/first day back at school - that includes Michelle doesn't it?

    Me? Im on Mat leave until Jan! :T I wish it was longer but cant afford it. (And if youre not talking about me, just pretend you were so I dont look like a donkey.) Thanks for thinking about me though SS. :o
    nope, never thought about feeding that way, do you not squash them??

    Oh becky! I managed it with me and DH in bed- just made sure she was on the outside with bed guard or a pillow will do. When your M/W visits or H/V next, get them to show you if poss. I did. You can def catch up on your sleep feeding this way and dont worry about squashing your LO, your instincts wont let you!

    GOOD LUCK to all new starters- whether its big school or little. And good luck to parents getting them there on time! :)

    Tia - it's quite often me typing with one hand! I should do an online course or something. The amount madam eats would probably get me through something from the OU :rotfl:

    Oh yeah! With the boys I stopped BF at about 2 weeks and I could never have them in next to me. With Amber I was so much more aware of her, I knew she was there and she did sleep with me quite often, was easier with feeding her (she fed more often when close to me which is what we wanted to happen). Plus again, it means I could stay in bed and get more sleep.

    Cute story, I heard Amber giggling and looked through. DS2 was sitting on her husky walker and Amber was pushing him!! They were in fits of laughter!

    Boys are at school, DS2's first full day. So do I celebrate by going back to bed for an hour with Miss Aroo?

    Is your DH back at work now Michelle? I bet that will be strange for you after having him off all hols.

    Ladybird did you get your referrals?

    I'm not impressed as I appear to have come on. Surely I should have got longer than this with exclusively bfing??? :mad:

    We're going to try a stay and play group for the first time but I didnt get up early enough so I'm gonna have to get my skates on once T finishes his brekkie.

    I'm another one hander!!!

    I wish Bottomless Belly here would go for another hour's snooze.

    Edit: Gill, I got from August-March with Molly before AF returned. And I referred Ladybird for bingo but not your one, thought you should do that and get the points.

    SS, how's the teeth situation with miss Molly? Teeth on nips - yowchies! I've told Sophie we may have to reconsider when she gets hers.

    Michelle, it sounds like bubs has decided she likes her sleep :jGood luck with trying to get the police to listen. The guy sounds like such a creep.

    :rotfl: Bex, the current lonely tooth is the bottom one so it's under her tongue when she feeds. Just as well really. A friend of mine who's BF'd two babies, the first till she was over 2 (2nd one is only six monthsish at the moment and also nudey of mouth) said that the latch was weird for the first few days after the top teeth came in and then the baby figured out how to make it a bit more comfortable. It's not the teeth that are hurting me so much as the return to frequent feeding. She was down to three a day and today we've already done four and it's only 10am.

    KOAG, I think mashed banana is fine for breakfast. Molly always has cereal with fruit in it, unless Husband makes her scrambled eggs or pancakes, but I don't think E is going to turn green and shrivel up if he doesn't get cereal at least once a day :) It might have been a baby cereal manufacturer who said it!
