MSE Newborn to 1 year Baby Club 1

Morning. I'm a bit bleary eyed this morning, I was awake frm 2:30 til 5:30 this morning with a terribly fussy boy who seems to have forgotten his hard-won knowledge of how to latch properly (he's a month old tomorrow, cup fed for first 10 days and breast ever since) ....resulting in a very cross baby and a tired and upset turtle (with incredibly sore nips!!!).....any other BFers here had this? I had thought we were just getting to grips with it and now we seem to have revertd back to being total novices (and I'm bloody shattered!)

Fluff, hope your baby comes soon, would be good to see you over here.

Swimming is something I'd love to do too - are there any rules about swimming after a section? Cuz the leaflet they give you says no driving for 6 weeks, and my health visitor said I could drive at 3 weeks,.,..and the leaflet says no nookie for 6 weeks too but my midwife said we could go for it at only 10 days after even though i still had lochia (we didn't btw!!!) ....its confusing when everything/everyone contradicts each other!

I can't wait to take George swimming, although I am terrified of walking by the pool carrying him, I'm so clumsy and slip over on the slightest thing :eek:

Has anyone done another classes like baby yoga or massage etc? I quite fancy baby yoga, just need to find out how much it is. The nct group I go to sometimes had a baby sign taster session last week which was really interesting, definitely want to do that.

Yeah it's a bummer I don't get mat leave but then I don't have to worry about paying for child care when I go back to work. It did mean that for the first 2 weeks after he was born I was chained to my computer though which wasn't great. But meant I had some extra £ to buy us treats

Ooops! Fed Charlie at 4-5am, slept to 8am, fed 8-9am, and slept to now! Both in my bed. That's the most we've both slept! Better get up now! x

Our pool let you bring carseats to the poolside during their baby oriented swimming sessions so at least you can carry something with a handle (and have somewhere to put the baby while you get changed yourself if you're taking them solo.

Afternoon all xx

Friends mums results are mixed will be seeing friend on Friday but her mum will have to have more treatment.

Sunshine - sorry to hear about neighbours, if you can't report would seriously consider getting some ear plugs x

Mozzy - so pleased that Charlie will be seeing rellies soon it's fab for you and Charlie. The 8 month info I was expecting after the 6 week checklists in the red book but don't know what should be there ! It was good seeing hubbies rellies Sunday they played with Scott just don't like the you should do x comments lol !! We have the old cotbed here now it needs a lot of polishing :eek:

Photos - I will somehow do one but it's gonna take a while and probably not today !!

Aimless - not only the issue with feed him whatever I joked a while ago that birth to five book says don't feed on a potty, I have since discovered mil (she is old) is very vocal that this should be done could quite easily have said rude words I mean !!!!!! !!!!! Where is common sense do you sit on the loo and eat your dinner ?!!! Sorry if you were eating your lunch when you read that :rotfl:

Hope those who are having a tough time feel a bit better.

Stitches - I never never looked although obviously Everyman and his dog did including the handsome Italian who did them certainly did :eek:

Was doing stuff in kitchen, came back and Scott as not where I left him :rotfl:

Re the swimming thing my friend and some of hers took there babes swimming but they kept getting bugs so am waiting til Scott's older but obviously everyone's different, I am hoping if we go away later in the year will go then. Obviously I will be dressed in a nigella burkini ! To cover my lumps !!!


My brain can't cope now so sorry if I have missed a q or something

Fluffnutter - love your avvy !

Katiechoc - have not heard of that website sounds good and £50 was a bargain ! It deffo does pay to shop around! Do share if you here of anything

Hope everyone has a good day xx

Hello all Hope all ladies and babies are good.

Baby boy has hollow legs today, 10oz of milk, a bowl of porridge and a slice of toast for breakfast, and he's just had pasta, a full Ellas sachet and some rice cakes for lunch! Hungry man.

We're now on our 5th day of cloth nappies, and it's going well, only 2 leaks, and he had the runs then, so probably why it happened and me not doing the nappies up tight enough, but I'm learning

Well must go get my own lunch, funny how bubs always gets to eat before me and I still can't lose any weight?

*Ro*

Turtlemoose - lol at the 'professionals' suggestion of 10 days :eek::eek::eek::eek: I don't think I could lift my leg at that point let alone anything else and as for having for forceps/stitches omfg!!!!
We tried at 10 weeks and even that was too :eek: so quite sensibly waited. I still have problems with my back now so it's not a frequent event lol!!

*Ro*

You did not see that Gilly just got you mixed up with Mozzy lol

*Ro*

Gilly - that's really great that he is eating so well and having more milk
