Well the 8 hours must have been a fluke (although she was on her belly & I won't let her on her belly when I'm trying to sleep myself!) - all night she woke every 2 hours for food - think she is making up for going so long!

Good luck with the wee sample Clare - Rebecca will wee without a nappy on if I put cream on her sometimes - worth giving a try?

Eilis slept for about 2 days after her jags, I really wouldn't be too worried

Trying to get a urine sample from her at the minute. Think it'd be easier to nail jelly to a wall! I've been trying since Friday but she just doesn't seem to want to pee without her nappy on!

Very rank, but fill her nappy with cotton wool balls and then squeeze them out into the container once she's piddled.

Hope everyones ok. I haven't read back yet. Hoping to when I get the girls down for a nap later. Been so busy with them lately I don't seem to get 5 mins to get online!

Just a quick question please, the girls have their 12 month jabs tomorrow but poor Mollies caught a stomach bug off me and has the runs. Is it advisable to delay the jabs til she is well, do you think? TIA

Will read back asap, hello to any new mummys x

I'd delay Mollie's jabs Cake, my niece had her 12 month ones recently and it's quite a lot at once so I wouldn't want to give it unless they were well.

Just caught up, been a bit mad here with having my gallbladder out and then being re-admitted over the weekend for pain Fingers crossed it's all sorted now though and we're turning a corner towards healthy!

Hello everyone. After some advice re what to dress baby in when out/about in winter.

My little girl is just over 7 weeks old and not sure if I should purchase a snow suit for her.

At the moment when going out she's in a vest, babygrow, coat, hat and a blanket.

Are snow suits better than a blanket? If she's in a snow suit I assume she doesn't need a coat on underneath?

My 1st baby and I'm from Australia so dressing a baby for winter is just a tad different, lol and I panic that I won't have her warm enough.

Depending on how cold it is I'd have vest, baby grow, snow suit and optional blanket if it's really chilly. Oh and a hat & mittens.

If we're in the car I just usually go with coat & blanket rather than snow suit.

Snowsuit I'd buy if you regularly walk most places, if you go by car I wouldn't buy one. They're very padded, so not recommended for car journeys, just like padded jackets.

My LO is almost 2 and we walk everywhere, he wears a vest, a long sleeved top or jumper and a thick jacket, and a hat, as most of the heat escapes from there heads He was a winter baby though, and it was normally a long sleeved vest, baby grow and a jacket or cardigan or sometimes both and then a blanket on top x

Hi ladies

Just catching up while I have 5 mins!

Katiechoc - congrats on the house sale :j
Sunshine - wow, bet you are looking forward to being in your new home now.

We have had a house full of colds here, Noah had to have an inhaler lady week but continuously pushed the mask away from his face and screamed, that was fun!

Welcome and congratulations to all the newbies.

Can I just check if I'm being unreasonable?

My birthday is on a Thursday this year and I said to OH to book a meal for the Saturday n he said "can't, got my work night out" - which he's never mentioned before. I was a bit annoyed cause he'd never mentioned it before and since the baby was born I've put her first, him second and basically forgot about myself so I thought the weekend of my birthday could maybe be about me?

Hi Sammie! G has an inhaler now too and is just the same. Me and OH keep pretending to do it and acting like its amazing which helps. Sort of feels weird to be pretending we're sort of getting high off medicine though...

Claree - I guess it depends if you'd discussed having your birthday meal on the Saturday beforehand or not? If not, then yes it would have been good if he'd thought of it anyway but maybe he was thinking you would do something on the actual day? If you'd said already that you'd do a birthday meal on the saturday then yes, I'd be peed off too. Could you go out for your day on the Friday evening? And book somewhere really nice with him paying
