as I've said this merge was done with a minimum of disruption

To be fair, you are the only person saying this. All of the regular users of the thread disagree with you and politely ask that threads are not merged into this one.

People rarely come back when the thread is merged and regulars on the thread get overlooked when they need support.

Perhaps a parenting sub forum is better so parents can ask for non-money saving advice and their thread remains in tact, and this thread doesn't get spoiled by merges?

Morning all!

Had hardly any sleep. I've caught a cold and it's really bothering my existing nose and sinus problem. I feel like I've been smacked in the face and got told off for snoring in the night. I feel really bad about that as I can't help it

Got Charlotte at home this morning and have online work to do this afternoon, so luckily I can just potter on at my own pace.

Have a good day all xx

Morning all!

Hope you feel better, Becles.

Happy birthday to 3's V today! :T

I'm annoyed because I bought some dry shampoo yesterday and dropped it this morning, breaking the nozzle. Grrrr, £2 for one use!

I have a rolling baby :j She can roll on to her front but then gets annoyed because she doesn't like being on her front, so we move her back and she does it again

Hope everyone is well for a Monday morning.

Happy new week gang!:wave:

Just wondered if anyone else's newborn grunts/grunted a lot?

Josh grunts most of the night and in his sleep too. Sometimes it's wind or he is doing a poo, but often he just randomly grunts loudly!

I read somewhere that there is something known as 'grunting baby syndrome', guess that's what it is..just wondered if anyone else had experienced it?

Yay for rolly baby :j Squeak does that too. She rolled back to her back this morning but I don't think she knows how she did it, she's back to rolling on her front and moaning into the blanket:rotfl:

Squek makes loads of random noise when she's asleep, so don't worry about it

Ha ha yeah. At least my lounge is still all packed away cos we've only just decorated lol.

I'm going to see it tomorrow lunchtime. There are 3 people interested apprently, they said take £230 they will take it off the market, if all 3 want it we all pay and landlady chooses who she wants? He did say the unlucky folks would get their money back.

It said on the ads that HB was accepted so with any luck OH will be the only working person and we'll win :rotfl:

MERFE

morning all x

ethelsmum thats great, well done little one. They grow so fast once they start doing things.

MV I think there can be normal grunting noises when they are doing poos etc but if you think its more than this its worth asking the HV.

I was going to go to baby clinic to get bobs weighed on weds and to baby bounce on fri but now the HV is coming to visit on fri so no point weighing him first, she can do it and we are going to miss baby bounce. Gonna take all the kids to visit grandma on weds evening. Its starting to get a bit boring in the evenings when OH is at work and all the kids go to bed at 6-7ish. There is a baby group at the surestart centre today that is free so going to give that a go. I want to take bob to loads of places because he is quiet and just looks round but at home he just crys all the time (probably because I put him down and try to get things done).

My Josh did that. He was in our room for two nights and I just didn't sleep as he was constantly making noises and I was just lightly dozing all the time thinking he was going to wake up in a minute. Had to put him in his own room so I could get some decent sleep!

James used to do that if he was cross about something. He was born blue, slightly prem and underweight. He was naked for what seemed like ages while they got him breathing again, then he was freezing cold so they swaddled him and put him under a grill like heater. He didn't want to be swaddled and kept grunting and wriggling until he managed to get his arms out. Then the midwives would come and check on him and I'd get into trouble for not keeping him swaddled, so they'd wrap him up and the grunting and wriggling would start again :rotfl:

Pottered on this morning doing odd jobs and cleaning with my little "helper". Just having lunch and I'll walk her along to nursery.

:j for rolly babies!

Can't help on grunty baby but Miss M still does it when she's falling asleep.

Miss M laughed once and then not again for about a month because my response was so OTT

I do understand not letting a small child stay with friends for example but I don't get not allowing them to stay with Grandparents? My grandchildren have been having overnight stays and sleepovers with us from when they were babies and the oldest is now 23 , do you not think its sensible and confidence building to allow a child to do this especially with people you should trust implicitly? My daughters have always been comfortable with it and so have the children and its meant in the event of an emergency they can go to a Grandparent quite happily and without upset or fuss.. the youngest is always asking for a sleepover at nannies its wonderful for all of us to be so close.. and Mum knows the child is happy and safe and used to Mum leaving her on the odd occassion it happens.

I'm not saying it's wrong to have your child stay with grandparents from being a baby but you do realise that you can't just send a breastfed baby off to stay overnight.

Children can be surprisingly versatile anyway. When I was two and my brother was born, I was taken next door in the middle of the night while asleep and put in the other end of my friend's bed. Apparently when I woke up, I saw my friend, said her name and played happily without being concerned in the slightest about having been left or having woken up in a different place.
