    Hi ya ladies,
    doing fine with J here, still clingy anmd only wants me so im really tired but loving it. shes 11 week, ive posted the pic in fb group but i know not many of u are there. Pleased to say that im getting to know her better so can anticipate her needs and that way cut the time she used to spend crying...

    funny thing is, she has dark hair but we are noticing patches of blonde hair underneth, light brown eyes with a blue circle around them, eyes keep getting lighter, they were dark grey before.

    Awww, morocha she's beautiful!

    Just wanted to let everyone know that the poonami finally arrived :) He did a small poo last night but it was smaller than usual so I was a little baffled as we'd been expecting something massive! He's been quite unsettled all day & then it finally arrived, much quieter than usual but it certainly left its mark :) He was extremely pleased with himself & is now snoring away in his chair :)

    Hello everybody :) We have another clawer here esp while feeding. Sometimes playing with his hand helps. I honestly don't know how I can get his nails any shorter either. He's also just discovered he can reach his nether regions while being changed. How he doesn't hurt himself I don't know...

    I'm another not routined mom/baby here - at first he used to eat every 2 hours, now he's going longer between them. Naps were never routined and still aren't; although he did start getting a regular bedtime on his own of about 9pm early on and then suddenly 6pm for a while. With our holidays lately he's all over the place again but luckily once he goes down for the night he stays asleep.

    George is another grabber when he's feeding; my boob, my hair and my necklace chain tend to be particular favourites :) I have this fear that my chain is going to cut into his hand he pulls it that hard sometimes but I tend to find that playing with his hand is the most effective way of stopping him grabbing. SavageHK, George hasn't discovered his nether regions during changes yet, I'm sure that'll be next on his list!

    We're also another baby-led routine here :) He's pretty good tbh & he's quite predictable most of the time although he does throw the occasional curveball in!

    We're good morocha. Dewi is just amazing. I'm weaning him off the shields, 3 full days without them now! Need someone to check our latch though as I'm still getting nipple creases.

    Yay for the poonami Mrs_B. Well not that it fun for you to have to clean but you know what I mean :P

    We're baby led routine here too. It's been roughly 9pm-6am sleeping since we got home. Gonna see if I can ease him into going earlier though :)

    I got a gumigem necklace (baby can fiddle while they feed, they can chew it etc) - I love mine and Reuben likes it too. There's quite a few nursing necklace makers out there - some safe for baby to chew some not. He loves to twiddle it, squeeze it (it's slightly bendy) and also chew on it.

    My LO has a new skill and is very pleased with herself: she can pick up a water bottle lid and put it back onto the bottle. And pick it up. And put it back. And pick it up. And put it back. Up. Back. Up. Back... :D :rotfl:
