I had a leaflet in my first one from booking appt and in the bounty pack in there you also get more once baby arrives and before you leave hospital.

I hope the links I posted help they look pretty comprehensive.. though I wholly disagree with giving a baby a dummy unless they need one thogh they are shown to regulate the breathing and often used in neonatal units for this reason

the links are great, thank you!

OH and i were just ranting about the dummy lol, we are against them

I am very glad that we asked the question now

I think dummies have a place and they are invaluable for many parents and babies but they are too readily given and over used.

i was against dummies...... till you have put up with "i am going to cry for the entire length of this tram ride cause you were too silly to pack a bottle (despite it not being my feeding time)" for 10 minutes with people staring at you....

.......... now i love them!!! tho have to part DS from his soon which i am scared of!

hi

has anyone else suffered with bad upper back pain? There seems to be loads around about lower back pain but i just keep getting the worst pain between my shoulder blades, it just feels crushing and the pain makes me feel a bit sick! I can't seem to find a position to make it go away!

Morning all,

I have been awake ages arghhh! OH went to work really early and I couldn't sleep again.

Forgot to say last night that that is a stunning picture Jojo, he is gorgeous.

Kiraroo - I only seem to get the lower back pain, hasn't been so bad recently though.

I do, so I can sympathise I find it worse than the lower back pain, as with the lower back pain, i find it easier to get in a position to ease it. I think it's from where i'm not walking, or sitting straight etc which I think just pushes everything out of place. Luckily DH has been very good at rubbing it, which eases no end!! Just a shame he's not here at my beck and call all day :rotfl:

Hi everyone
Sorry not had time to read back, bit of a crazy few weeks trying to get things finished at work and get everything ready for baby's arrival! Hope everyone is well, congratulations to the new mummies & labour vibes to those who need them

Found some baby bargains in Tesco yesterday:
Moses basket fitted sheets - £2 for a pack of 2, by far the cheapest I've found them and they are lovely and soft. (I've seen this offer on the shelf for a few weeks but have only just seen them in stock).
Widgey feeding / support pillow for just under £20 - again the cheapest I've found by far.

There were a few other offers on so would recommend checking the aisle if you are in tesco and need anything - think there was a sling on offer amongst other things.

ML starts on Wednesday so will hopefully 'see' you all more after that This whole pregnancy seems to have gone so quickly - can't believe I'm going to be finishing work!!

Morning ladies.

Thanks for that ema, my Tesco doesn't have any bedding so might head to the bigger one during the week.

Jojo, your pic is great, he's gorgeous .

Sounds like a fab day wendz. Wish I lived closer to family and friends so I could do something similar.

I had a pretty good sleep. I took 2 paracetemol before bed, my hips hardly hurt at all.

Ema - you are brave working till now, I thought I was finishing late and i finish Friday and am due a couple of weeks after you hehe.

Nic - glad you had a good night sleep.
