Hello everyone, have been [STRIKE]stalking[/STRIKE] lurking this thread for a while and enjoying your posts, especially the pics today (so many gorgeous babies!)

Brief intro. Me - wrong side of 30. Husband - approaching the big 40. Two lovely children - a 3 and a half year old daughter ("Iggle Girl) and 3 month baby boy ("Iggle Baby"). Bottle feeding Iggle Baby. Going back to work part time when Iggle Baby is 5 months old (eeek).

*ducks back to lurkdom*

:jI love Ewan! Let us know how you get on. Quick tip: if she isn't fussed about that red light that he emits (my LO wasn't), switch it off - it drains the batteries really quickly

Epic fail here unfortunately but then again I made the mistake of feeding her 7.30pm bottle in the same room as OH whilst the footy was on. He's not normally quiet and low key at the best of times, let alone when his beloved team are playing, despite my constant requests. *sigh*. It's not all his fault though, as he doesn't realise exactly how loud he's being as he's hard of hearing, but he can be quiet when he makes the effort!

Will persevere tomorrow, doing the evening feed in the bedroom, just me and her. She did like the red light on Ewan though, and the harp music seems to be her favourite She is now currently being indoctrinated watching the footy on daddy's lap..

Thanks nutella, I didn't think of asking about references to other parents through the childminder. If I don't make other arrangements, I might do that.

Omg,so many lovely pics!!! Freddy is just awesome, fluff. He's got a happy expression at all times! Reuben looks so cute and cheeky, lol! I love that guilt face!

I have bought Ewan, it might be too soon to have any effect but I thought I could use it for bedtime routine,so I could put it in the moses /cot only for nightime. I'm trying to figure out what would work best for us, I don't want to tie myself to a nightime bath, and I like doing the massages in the morning, although I could just change that. I was thinking that maybe ewan + sleeping bag might do the trick. I have put today in her first sleeping bag and so far so good, but obviously I still need to see if she sleeps through! I'm concerned she will be hot. It's a 1 tog bag, room is around 20 degrees and she's got a long sleeve vest, no sleepsuit. However , the vest crosses over,so on tge front there are two layers, albeit thin. I'm probably overthinking.

TMI period related: I think I'm having my first period, but I'm not sure, I went n Monday to the GP for my 6week appointment and I had an internal examination, so I'm not sure if something got moved or whatever (it was damn sore), or if it's auntie flow saying I'm back. I usually have a migraine before and I start spotting, but not this time. When are you supposed to get your first period if you bottle feed?

Thanks Gillyx! so... it probably is that. I was so happy without it!!

If it's any consolation I went from really painful AF to not knowing it was there. The first few weren't pleasant though x

Anyone else still up? I've been up for 3 hours now . He's not been yelling the whole time, hardly at all really, he just doesn't seem able to get over to sleep on his own. Poor little man is completely exhausted, feel awful that I've made him so dependant on having something to suck that he literally can't get to sleep on his own . Not to mention OH who is in the next room unable to sleep because of it, he has to get up for work in less than 2 hours

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Sounds exactly like my OH!

Welcome iggle_upsy!

Moneypenny... I'm pretty sure Dewi does as you describe. I pop him off as he seems to be being lazy to me. He wakes if he's still hungry and tends to sleep if it's comfort. Can always go back on. Which he often does, has a few sucks and sleeps XD

Hope you're getting some sleep Katie xxx
