    if i could do it.... and thats a very big if.... could me and Landen come to edinburgh and meet the builders?

    *hides*

    You totally should - I'm getting the train from Durham which arrives at Edinburgh at 1020 and I'm sure it'll be going through Darlington so you could get the same train.

    i am still up with a baby girl who wont sleep, just about to list her on gumtree but will give you lot first shout with reduced MSE rates :D

    I'll take her if anyone's got a discount code and free delivery. I have a boy who doesn't want to sleep in his cot at the moment too.

    Morning Susan, you're up early!

    I really need to get into gear and get ready for work.

    I've just had a confirmation letter for Guy to see a paediatrician, the doc reckons he may have a reflux type problem. I'm not 100% convinced, I think he has a milk/wind problem, as food stays down fine, but I'd just like it sorted now. The doctor who referred him suggest I cut down his milk intake, given that he will only take about 300ml all day, and a lot of that comes back up, I can't see how I can cut it down? Anyone got any ideas on what I could feed him food wise to try and make up for what he's losing in milk? I feel really lost and not sure what to do and the appointment's not til December, that coupled with the Dr telling me that he's very thin has got me a little worried.

    Hi Gymfiend. Nicwe to see you again :D How about trying him with rice puddings made with coconut milk? It tastes like bounty bars :D

    I have one of those too. In the last 6 days he has had an allergy attack, an ear infection and is now full of a streaming cold. :(

    Does this mean in Scotland you don't have Sunday trading hours? :cool:

    It's because they still primarily use the barter system in Scotland, Tara, so not all the same laws apply :A

    Susan and CAFC, the train from Durham is in Darlington first, at 8:05 :)

    I'm not in the market for a non-sleeper today, my lovely girl slept from 8:30 till 5, when she grumbled a bit, and then till 8am. All in her bed, no overnight feeds, just a bit of whinging. And last night I caught sight of the shiny edge of a front tooth :j no wonder she slept better.

    Love Caz's present suggestions, don't have much time to look myself this morning but will try this evening. Husband has headed off to his office to work there today and Miss Sleepyhead needs breakfast and pretty clothes and we need to go out.

    Morning! Gosh, lots of babies up this morning. We actually had a nice break from the past few mornings of 4:30ish, and not until 5:40 (positively tolerable, as he then feeds until just past 6, when DH gets up for work anyways).

    My last week of freedom! Need to tidy up the house...don't have the money to do anything interesting. :p

    It's full-time (9-5), but DH is currently off on Tuesdays so Finn will be with the CM 4 days/wk. I've had the CM sorted since late September, luckily she has been very patient and lovely through all this. Also, Finn will go without feeds all day now (I do 1 in the afternoon if we're home and it's convenient, but he's also okay with a snack and a diversion), so that's also sorted too! But I'm going to miss him loads though :(.

    Does Henry enjoy pulling all the colored baskets off his shelves and dumping the toys out of them? That's Finn's favorite new activity. :D
