DS1 is a complete baby medicine junkie so he'll take anything no problem. It was funny when I was giving Alex his Medised last night and suddenly a little voice pipes up, "Mummy, I'm not feeling well either. I have a sore throat... and head... and tummy!" Nice try! :rolleyes:

My DD1 did that the other week when I was dosing Izzy up and I thought yeah, yeah, nice try and packed her off to school. When I picked her up that afternoon, she looked like death warmed up, temperature, sore throat, the works!! Felt so mean!!

Yes, I only noticed it the other day in Boots for the first time while perusing the cold counter, it wasn't behind the pharmacy bit, so guess supermarkets will sell it. Also, there is another one called Calcold which bizarrely has exactly the same ingredients in the same proportions as Calpol Night, so I'm a bit confused why they have done it as two separate products, guess they have their reasons.

Bailey, are you okay? It's a pain when it refuses to post isn't it. Was it a question, or just something you wanted to get off your chest?

It's so infuriating when that happens isn't it. (And it always happens on the long posts too :mad: )

I bathed Alice for the first time this evening as OH is working evenings for the next month now. She was so busy trying to chew on the metal handles on the side of the bath that I had a job getting in to wash her.

Hi girls,

Sorry just reallly annoyed that i did a long post and it went.

To cut it short, i'm another Jen too, so we have taken over.

Still feeling very low and crap, tearful when on my own, looking forward to homestart coming around on thursday, but trying not to pin all my hopes on it in case I get dissappointed.

We all have colds, have been snotty since last monday and no where near better, so you lot have my sympathy.

Jack has been walking properly since Friday, we are off to buy his first pair of proper shoes on Wednesday, he can do the entire length of the house unaided.

Big hugs to the lady with PND, I really know how you feel I am still suffering myself and some days I just cry and cry, just wish I could get my act together.

Been getting lots of braxton hicks today, to be expected I guess, 28 weeks tomorrow.

It was a marathon read trying to catch up from the weekend, you lot have been busy.

I'm sure I said more but that is the jist of it. sorry for its shortness but I still have our accounts to do and a job list before bed.

This had better post.

Bay (aka Jen)

It posted!

Sorry you are still feeling low. It must be doubly hard with all the pregnancy hormones flying round your system too. Just remember that you are coping with an awful lot - take time to acknowledge that, and congratulate yourself on the fact that you are still taking fantastic care of that lovely little boy of yours (that's a gorgeous picture in your avatar by the way).

He's doing great with his walking isn't he? He looks such a happy little thing, all sparkly eyed and mischievous! You should be really proud of him, and yourself.

Becles, wow Charlotte is brave! :T I hate the taste of coffee so I can't believe a baby would like it!!! :eek: :rotfl:

She's a strange one! It's my eldest son's birthday today, but he opened his presents last night when his Dad was here (he starts work at 6am!). Ex-MIL always posts a gift, and puts sweets in for the other one. This year, she'd put some milky bar buttons in for Charlotte.

We broke a button up and tried giving Charlotte some tiny pieces, but she just pulled faces and spat them back out again. She just didn't seem to like the taste of them at all, and it's the first real dislike of food she has shown.

Hubby was pleased as he loves white chocolate so he scoffed the rest of them

cant blame the kid! the white stuff is all vegetable oil, there is no 'chocolate' in it... (blergh)

the first food dislike my DD had was a milk chocolate pudding... it was around that time i started to wonder if my child had been swopped for someone elses baby in the maternity ward....
you would never know it now though... the rate she can wolf down a bar of choc!

we are waiting for the HV to come and weigh Danny,
he is honestly a different baby now we have changed his milk, he wakes up hungry (which never happened before) sucks his fist furiously if we havent jammed a bottle in his mouth quick enough, and god forbid you should try and plactate him with a cuddle while the bottle is warming... he tries to bite your face off! :rotfl:
so fingers crossed he has put on some weight... surely he must have!
will KYP :A

(ps, i right click and 'copy' each post before i post it... so if it disapears i can 'paste' it back into here,
stuff vanishing has happened TOO MANY times and im wise to it now )

in other news.... we changed Dannys milk yesterday (again! the poor kid... from breast milk from the boob, to expressed in a bottle, to sma gold and now aptimil, all in 2 1/2 weeks!!!)

Hi CG, changing Henry onto aptimil full time myself as breastfeeding definately drying up. Quick question... have you been using the premade cartons or the formula milk. Henry had the pre made stuff in hospital so have been topping him up with this so far but moving onto the formula if I can but trying to get my head round it as this will then be warm compared to the cartons if I make it with water from the kettle ? and looking at the packet can you only make up one feed at a time... no one ever explained formula to me as they assumed breastfeeding would work
