That would probably be better. Why don't you cash in a few more SB/BP ones and then buy something nice?

I have 38 Swagbucks and have been searching my fingers down to stumps for two weeks :mad:

I'm going to redeem my BP ones next time I have enough for £10 and buy myself something from my wish list. I can't see Husband being organised enough to have ordered anything from it for Christmas this early so it won't matter, and then I can take that thing off and perhaps browse for something else because I like having 12 items on it, not 11 and certainly not 13

Agreed JM that the limited cake will encourage guzzling. I'd be raging too, especially if I was paying for my child to have the cake and bonus fruit rather than just fruit.

Morning all, sorry haven't had chance to read back re everything but good luck Susan.

Had a stressful last two nights as Thomas woke up for a feed at about 2, then he hasn't been settling for 3 hours - he is just really awake!! He feeds then looks like he falls asleep, then put in him moses basket then is wide awake and nothing I do settles him back down then!! Formula eventually worked the other night, but last night that didn't work as fed him a bit but I guess he was full as kept coming back up and still no sleep. He was trying to bf but he wasn't latching on and was full I think anyway so prob just for comfort. Tried to sleep with him in the bed but was wide awake as well and more interested in my breasts!! In the end I gave him to DH to sleep with (I am in the spare room with Thomas at the mo as DH is working and want him to get sleep during the night as I can nap during the day), he seemed to settle with him for 2 hours which is quite good. I really don't want a repeat as I was getting stressed/upset with both Thomas and DH (who could sleep, whilst I couldn't!!) any advice re settling him in the night would be useful, I think we need him up for a couple of hours during the day but not sure how to do this as he seems happy just to fall asleep after feeding! Feeling a bit better as managed an extra hour this morning.

Planning on going to bumps and babies NCT group today as lovely day to walk out, anyone been to a group like this?? Not really sure what to expect but need to get out!

Sir M if you think hes suckling for comfort, could a soother perhaps help? Landen often starts to fall asleep on his bottle, and then we take it out and he stirs again.... wee crafty monkey....

Not fair, I have left hubby to wash and dress Sophie this morning, so I can have a bit of a break. I did get everything set up for him though and choose her outfit, but she usually screams and crys when i wash/ dress her, not a peep when hubby has done it!

MFD--- how do you find the Kindle?

Sir Monster, it sometimes takes them a while to figure out the difference between day and night. Molly was a nighttime = playtime baby for a while too but eventually keeping it very dark and quiet at night and very bright and loud during the day taught her the difference.

I'm useless as far as groups go. We have classes we go to, but sometimes other mummies pee me off being competitive or telling me I'm doing things wrong, so I avoid the groups

*would be a hermit if she could*

Kian used to finish his bottle, then look for more bottle and promptly fall asleep wasting bottle. i started giving him a soother when we were putting him down and it worked. i was dead against using a soother and have strict rules (DH, PIL, mum and sister all know and follow) for use.

they dont dare give him one anytime apart from sleep time lol!

mind you thats something else we need to start getting rid off.

1st will be the middle of the night bottle....although we are slowly making progress....dont want to jinx it so i'm not posting it yet lol!

I find early mornings and Saturdays to be more successful than other days/times. (Excluding Sunday because I'm not on on Sundays.) I use it for my regular searching and then switch over to google if I can't get decent results. I've also been taking a trip down memory lane and searching song lyrics.
