MSE Newborn to 1 year Baby Club 1

*Nutella*

Morning all

Hope everyone had a good night - ours was pretty good, with dummy demands at 11 and 3, and then she woke up for the day at 6.30.

Woke up to snow, but only a tiny bit and it's not cold enough for it to last, so I expect it'll be gone by lunchtime. Need to do some food shopping and then start batch cooking & freezing dinners for LO for when I go back to work. Spent last night cleaning the oven - rock n' roll!

Have a good day all x

Oh my... I'm typing with phone and the low bbattery warning came up and when I closed the screen pop up, the page reloaded and lost the whole post, how annoying!!

Dizzi, thanks for the offer, I have a room thermometer, so I guess I could just Google the tog-temperature thing?

Basically from the grobag ones - it's anything above 25C is 0.5tog (as if - in this house if it gets that hot it's the baby sleeping in a romper suit and sheet possibly as a blanket!), anything above about 19/20C is 1.0 tog, and below that is 2.5 tog.

Snowing quite enthusiastically here - hoping it gets deemed "bad" enough hubby can come home early to work from home - but I doubt it.

Savage, we have that problem here too, she's one month + 1. I haven't found anything to help her poo, she hasn't done one since Saturday morning. She strains and kicks her legs in the moses, then trump to no end, I cannot believe a little thing like her can make so much noise!!! I'm at the GP, we were late and now we missed the appointment I had to ask for an emergency one but I need to stay here for another hour. Oh well.I'm going to ask about that, I'll let you know.
Now I posted that, I think she's doing a poo whilst we wait!!! Gosh, what a time lol

Morning ladies

We had a mixed night last night, he's been teething quite badly for a few days and has got in the habit of waking around midnight when I've been calpolling as nothing else settled him. Last night he woke up but as he'd been fine all day teeth wise we decided against calpol - hour later he finally settled. So that wasn't great but then up at 3 for his usual feed and slept through til 7.30. Hopefully we'll be able to lose the midnight wake up and get down to the 3am call for milk, which I'm quite happy with for the time being....

Sounds like he's dancing in his cot, this pulling himself up business is damn frustrating at nap times!

Have a good day all, Nutella what are you planning to cook? I need to sort out our meal plan for this week, freezer is jam packed so theoretically should be an easy week...

Well we are now 4 weeks and digesting is definitely more problematic. He's now sometimes burping after a feed and clearly straining for fart/dirty nappy - which has also started happening mid feed. Is there something maturing in their gut around this time? He's still fully on breast milk and my diet hasn't changed (and I'm not eating dairy but haven't since birth).

Sounds completely normal, savage. Freddie started doing this around the same time. He used to strain so hard he'd go bright red in the face

It settles down after a while and there's no cause for concern at all. He might be a little windy/colicky but TBH, all babies get that to a certain extent. Your breast milk contains a laxative so all that 'straining' is not because he's constipated or uncomfortable - it's just what they do. You might find he starts grunting after feeds too, particularly at night. This is normal as well.

They don't quite know which muscles to push to have a poo or a fart - so they go red in the face pushing all of them!

Hello everyone!

I've been scrolling through but can't find the list to add myself onto it? Which page is the last one on, or do you not do that on this thread?

Welcome hotbern! Congratulations on your littlie :T

We do have a list but must admit it tends to get a bit lost at times. I think this is the most recent http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=58112823&postcount=10666

I can't copy and paste it as on my iPad and I always bodge up the formatting.

Poor little lady got too confident sitting up and wobbled backwards bumping her head... we're now having a cuddle with mum and Bunny to get over the trauma.

(Mum meanwhile is just praying this migraine she's got starting off - my vision's starting to go - holds off till hubby gets home from work in an hour)
