Alfie has a chest infection so got anti-b's from Dr yesterday. Not taking any effect just yet though. He loves the taste, it's the yellow banana omoxycillin so at least it's not a problem getting it into him.

Hope he's feeling better soon and it's good that he likes the anitbiotic medicine - when Alice had an infected chicken pox spot she hated it.

*hugs* for Alfie, hope he gets better soon. I guess my main issue with BLW is that DH and I eat far too many ready meals so he won't be eating the same as us iyswim

He can sit up but not totally unsupported yet, altho he's not far off. And yes Michelle, he does have his highchair...and it is 'one of those'

Charlotte and Alice sound like such little sweethearts, I lovve hearing about what they're up to.

R.mac, A looks very happy out and about in your pic. I love the little rain suit too, so practical for jumping in puddles!

CAFC, I can't really sew (would love to) but the bag kind of looks like a rectangle made into a tube at the top, then an almost trapezoid shape pleated to make the bottom. It might be another rectangle though, it's kind of hard to tell. Cute bag though.

Big hugs for anyone feeling under the weather. Becles, glad to see that you're (almost) relaxing.

Poor old Sophie's got her jabs this arvo. Not looking forward to it, as it sent her 'off' for a while after the first lot.

Som - I think it was you who asked about swagbucks. I redeem whenever I have enough for an amazon voucher and then add it to my amazon account. My main reason being I want to make sure I've got them incase swagbucks go bust! I don't think they will but I'm very paranoid lol.

Gill - This was my thinking! just wondered if I was being paranoid. We started with puree for the first month till T coul hold and manouvre food to her mouth and then we changed over. Its amazing what they eat too, T loves bread sticks dipped in red pepper homous! Ikea do some long sleeve bibs two pack red and blue, i found theses great for the messier blw foods, and stacking cups are a big hit here too, so much so I want a 2nd set for Nana's.

Susan - A sounds so cute, hope T turns out to be as caring.

SJ - gentle hugs for porly Alfie x

Well still waiting for this parcel to be collected 3rd time lucky! hdnl are officialy useless. Did pop into work yesterday though and new boss confirmed as long as I do 20 hours I can stay on my current pay rate woot! Fab cos thats what I want. I will be starting some KIT days at the end of the month to bring in a little extra cash before Christmas and ease me into retuning to work/leaving T I know its for the best but the thought of leaving her so long is heartbreaking wish I could be a SAHM or WAHM, its only 4 hours a week to start but

Hugs for little Alfie. Hope the antibiotics kick in soon.
Hugs for Sophie - hope the jabs are as gentle as possible.

Got a Tesco delivery coming this morning and I'm just going to potter about all day and hope I can shake this bug off.

Glad to hear it! I think you're well overdue a day of pottering about. I hope it includes putting your feet up.

Hopefully i'm doing no more than fixing L's drawers today - they're falling apart. I really want a trip to Ikea for some new ones, but will wait til OH is off and can [STRIKE]pay[/STRIKE] drive.

Hugs Som, I took F into work with me yesterday to meet a colleague from work, so I can start preparing for the fact that I'm going back. My colleague's pregnant and will be going off about 6 weeks after I start back and I'm sooooo jealous!
We've looked at our finances, and it doesn't matter which way up I turn them, I'm going to have to go back full-time . I'm really not looking forward to it. It doesn't help that my colleague's talking about going back part-time when she returns either.
Becles - I hope you feel better soon.
Also hope Alfie's feeling brighter soon.
SS - Sending hot chocolate and a hug your way.
Gill - I've started on purees (more for DH and my peace of mind), but I'm hoping to start F on the blw very shortly. With Amelie, we used it as an excuse to make us eat more healthily and it really has worked as we've stuck to it (for mealtimes anyway!) 5 years later.
Hope Sophie's jabs go ok.
Michelle - Freddie loves the porridge too.
Not doing much today, got the HV at 12pm.

I thought for those occassions as well...


1.good to know
2. yay for suckable pouches


He cant sit up by himself yet, although hes getting much better at figure out the balance point, my mum is currently bidding on a bumbo and tray for him

What are you classing as a full feed? 9ozs? If so and you don't want to wean him yet have you tried hungry baby milk?

Also e is only just sitting up unaided now, I don't think they need to sit unaided to start weaning they just need to be able to sit whether it be in a bubo or high chair etc

As for jars, e is on jars, i find it easier at the minute, and i figure once food is established and he can have lumps etc then he can eat what we eat, he currently eats the hipp organic ones, he doesn't seem to like the cow and gate ones

Mmm, Im not sure if I should get a bumbo and tray or go straight for the highchair?? A is currently in the process of trying to sit up by holding onto things around her or her legs, mainly to play with her feet. Ive got the problem that since A was born ive pretty much lived off sandwiches whilst DH has some kind of manly meat every night. I gues this weaning lark will get my bum into gear to lose the 4stone I need to get back to my pre honeymoon weight! :eek::eek:

Ooohh thanks for the tip about the bibs! Will got on my list of what to get from Ikea when I finally get a chance to go there! And Im dreading work, I will be full time! :(:( The thought makes me sick. Looking at nurseries over the half term as well as one childminder ive been speaking to.

Gtg now, have to get dressed and look half human for this trip to the cinema.

ETA: A is becoming a little manipulative with her fake coughing! :eek: :rotfl:She sticks her tongue out and really tries to push them out when she wants a bit of attention ever since she's been ill. Keep an eye out for that one SS and CAFC.

ETA (again): hope sophie's jabs go well today.

A is asleep! Ive just read the few posts put up looked at her and she's sparko! Im guessing shes not going to sleep during the film then!

It's probably not recommended, but I used F's bouncy chair until my nice new highchair turned up today.

E gets fed in his bouncy chair too when he is at in laws house
