I have to ask, what is a fabric packaway high chair sling? sounds great!

Lol, it's hard to describe.... This:

I've thought about getting one for a while, but £14 was a bit unjustified. X

*Nutella*

We have this seat and love it - I use it when we have little people visiting, and it has been on holiday with us as well as with a friend

Lazywife, well done on making one though - that's far from lazy!

wow lazy that looks amazing! Nutella I did consider something like that but it looked hard to keep clean - I saw a really dirty one for sale at an NCT sale and it put me off. Now I have the mama & papas booster chair I'd better use it lol!

Morning ladies

My baby boy is now 15 weeks. He spent his first night in the cot last night. We had more wakeups than usual, but not sure if it was to do with that - he certainly has a lot more space than in the moses basket!

He's started trying the jumperoo and seems to like it but not for very long, he gets a bit frustrated not sure if he wants to bounce or eat it after a while!

My daughter's new bed is coming today so that's my job for later. Don't think I'll be able to start construction until hubby gets home so it will have to be a quick job before bedtime!

She is currently running around the living room with balloons, in between watching bits of tv while I have a lazy start to the morning. Earlier she had a little toy daddy pig who kept coming up to give me kisses, with her going 'mwah' at the same time. Was quite cute!

She's pretty good with teeth now but there was a period where we had to insist. In the mornings I do my teeth with her. She has her brush and I tell her to 'brush teeth' and she does a very poor job while I do mine. Then I take over and complete the task! Daddy does them with her at night. It is one of those things that they will get used to but not much fun while they hate it. I quite like that baby doesn't have any teeth yet!

That would put me off too! I actually find it really to easy to keep clean though - a quick wipe after each use, and ours still looks as good as new after two holidays and numerous messy lunches!

The only way my lo will let me brush his teeth is to lie him on the bed upside down and with him holding his own toothbrush and me brushing with another! Silly little humans aren't they?

Bangton

oo lazy that looks fab!! I think we will get one of those so he can sit in a big chair when we go out!

fran..I couldn't get the ikea antilop as it was sold out but I got a similar type one from mothercare for £19. It's called myhi and it's really good and easy to clean.

We found it huge when he wasn't sitting unaided as he'd roll off to one side whereas the antilop feels smaller and is probably better for babies who can't sit unaided. Now he can sit up its good though as I can easily reach round him to pick up what he's dropped rather than it getting squashed against him!

I have a mamas and papas snug too which is good for visiting friends/family but it was pricey (£45) and at 8 months old (tomorrow) lo's feet already touch the floor in it, meaning without the tray I've to watch he doesn't bear weight on his legs and push himself upwards and over the back of it.

Any tips on anyone how to change a nappy on a baby that can now roll over and over and over away from me! I'm frightened to push him back in case I hurt him but once that nappy is off he's gone poo up his back and all! I am managing but with great difficulty. a nappy change now takes 10 minutes. .I do it on a mat on the floor. Maybe nows the time to use our actual changer xx

Bangton, the rolling during nappy change happened here too - I never found a perfect solution, but did sometimes manage to distract her with a small collection of random and interesting items (toys never worked for us - think things like keys, wet wipes, a spare nappy, phone, stuff that they don't normally get to play with...).

Lazy that seat looks brilliant, though I quite like the slightly raised seat that the one Nutella posted has. When we visited my cousin for the weekend and I remembered 2hrs into the journey that I'd forgotten the highchair, I improvised by tying a plastic table cloth like the fabric seat and piling a load of cushions underneath which did work quite well. I'm debating which option will be better as need one for a holiday next Feb.

Bangton, I use a selection of non toy items as distraction - my purse, her purse (an old one with expired cards in it), credit cards, keys, toothbrush, calpol dispenser, hair brush, my comb, torch etc... If she is being particularly escapist, I do push her back down and hold with one hand as I've not yet mastered putting a nappy on an upright child.

The rubbish people bring to the 'nearly new' sale! I would have bought it too for a fiver. Just goes to show what a bit of TLC can do.

Oh dear the nappy changing malarky is making me dread rolling even more. I already have to try to do most dressing standing up as he cries if I do it lying down.
