SirM,

Have you tried swaddling at all, to stop the wriggling. It worked wonders on Joe, but Alex wouldn't have any of it.

BM what about those bump it things make your hair big and bouncy and less noticable? have you spoken to GP about it? i really dont know what else to suggest?

Oh i mean to ask what has quinine in it? doc told me to drink tonic water to stop my body jumping at night but ewwwww! anything else you lovely people would know of?

Thanks Mel

Yay Molly walking!

Sir M: what is it with our naughty little men, I have trouble getting T off for his afternoon nap, sometimes I bring the pram inside and keep pushing that back and forth, if he starts drifting off keep going for another 5 mins or so as with T if I stop he wakes! I now also tuck T in tightly in his basket so he can't move his hands (sounds cruel but if he's tired he keeps flapping them about) and also likes to have a teddy touching his face that he will smile at and talk to and gradually fall asleep. Sounds weird! I normally just gradually remove teddy as he sleeps and then he's ok. OH hums him to sleep! Sometimes I find me leaving the room helps otherwise he won't sleep as he is busy watching me.

Good luck with finding something that works Sir M, have you got a swing at all? T sleeps in that but I only use that in times of desperation!

Caz I think crampex is an OTC medicine containing quinineif thats any use?
quinine is used to treat cramp you see

EDIT one site say bitter lemon also has it, i quite like bitter lemon but hate tonic...

cazscoob

thanks! i will look into that!
I forgot to tell you about the mistake that was made! The doctor was asking about my drinking problem, i looked blankly and told him i didnt have one. He looked at me and asked how i would get better if i didnt open up about it all, again i told him i rarely drank and i wasnt sure what he was talking about. Turns out someones notes had been misfiled in mine!!!!

Any tips to get babies (about 2 months) to sleep will be grateful and will try to catch up with what everyone else is doing, if I get him to sleep!!

Do you have a sling or a Baby Bjorn? Molly would pass out inside a few minutes. If you don't have one, a length of fabric can be easily customised - have a look on you tube and you should be able to Macguyver one out of a sheet

I have one of those but my hair's so fine the thing's totally visible through it

BM go see your GP, but if you're throwing up frequently hair loss is a side effect xxx

thats a big whoopsie Caz!! btw I remember when you said you weren't calling Erin Evie because in scots accent it sounded like ebay, well I've been watching that David Tennant drama on bbc1 and his daughter in it is called Evie and it does sound just like ebay! I couldn't imagine it all when you said it.
