As soon as we stopped swaddling Mozzy, he went straight to side, and then a few nights later, tummy sleeping. It's so cute. He sleeps with his bum stuck up in the air. I'm a tummy sleeper too was a nightmare when pregnant! x

Aimless

Just waiting for George to nod off, he napped earlier and woke up bouncy! Think he's nearly off, I'm holding his hand through the bars! Horribly hot and sticky here.

Nutella, I got a green sleepsuit from someone on ebay, they buy supermarket plain ones and dye all different colours.

My Tesco is c$%p, no half price Tommee Tippee except the cutlery, and the bowls I left at the till cos I was told they were half price and they weren't, are on their mailout they sent me!

Morrisons have freezer pots for £2, looks like an oversized ice cube tray, but it is a rack with individual pots. I went to a different store for another one and they'd run out.

Oh Gilly, the amount on my credit card just for this month is shocking! Other half told me earlier not to buy bowls to leave at his place as he could find something and there was no point spending money I didn't have to. I thought to myself, after a cot, mattress, sheets, stack of baby food and a highchair, 99p for a bowl was a drop in the ocean!

Hello all

Hope everyone's well, I haven't had a chance to read back yet, but will do in a minute.

I have a question about baby clothes - will also be posting this on the pregnancy thread, so apologies if you read it twice. We'll soon move on to size 3-6 months, which means I can start shopping for clothes that I like rather than my LO wearing all the pink stuff that friends and relatives have given her :j (I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I've been really touched by everyone's generosity, but pink's just not my thing ).

So - I'm looking for the basics (sleepsuits, dresses, tops, trousers - I don't need vests) in bright, block colours. No patterns, animals, dots or stripes (and certainly no 'mummy's little princess'!) - just plain red, plain yellow, plain green etc. I found some purple trousers and a green vest in H&M (they also do orange) but beyond that I've drawn a blank. I know I can buy white clothes and dye them, but I'm afraid I don't really have the time nor the inclination

Does anyone know where I can find such things? Would really appreciate any leads!

M and S do some really nice bright vests either block colours or bright spots and stripes. I considered it worth the cost when I saw them just because its so hard to find nice bright colours (for baby boys - much less choice than for baby girls and everything seemed to be ebige, or blue when I was looking). They washed really well. e.g http://www.marksandspencer.com/Pack-Pure-Cotton-Assorted-Bodysuits/dp/B007D7P8AK?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_13&nodeId=42966030&sr=1-13&qid=1341561923

Boots sometimes does bright stripes but they are more expensive.

Hope that helps

sorry just read back and you said youw ere sorted from vest and there are tonnes of suggestions :-D

think LO is going through a bit of teething doesn't like being on his back so he's finally gone off to snooze in his inflatable ring with cbeebies on.....the quietest he's been in ages!

We have those vests in 6-9 though so God knows when he'l be in them.

Mozzy we have this and is fab, I know a few ladies who have it, Karen being one. It has a cover over it for any accidents and seems really comfy. I didn't see the point in paying a fortune because when next baby comes along I'm gonna have to buy another anyway! :eek: I think Aimless may have it too, but I may be wrong?

Well my little monkey had 4 7oz bottles yesterday and 3 meals, and still woke up in the middle of the night for a feed :eek: and downed the whole bottle too, so I do tend to think he's waking up hungry and not just out of habit.

gilly you don't have to buy a new mattress for baby 2....the whole cot death risk from second hand mattresses is about other peoples second hand mattresses. If you Google it, its about bacteria etc from puke/pee/poo seeping in to the mattress and not being cleaned properly, and also about it not being stored somewhere clean and dry, so bacteria can grow. I read that basically if you look after your own mattress and keep it clean and dry, there's no reason not to reuse it.
I'll try and find the link later, but not now as demand feeding is exhausting and I'm going to sleep as soon as reuben does!

Can we talk routines ladies?....at what age did you implement routines? OH thinks we should start now (1 month). I think if we were FF that would maybe be possible, but as we are doing on demand BF (and he has hourly cluster feeds at some point every day!), I don't really see how I can enforce a routine just yet. Would be interesting to see what your opinions are and how things worked for you all?
