@Sez281 @westy22
i cant believe Ovie and Sophie are 18 months old already!! The time has gone so fast.
Dairy allergy must be difficult, so much food to avoid!
How are you coping with this hot weather? No air con in the car is not fun 🙈

Aww so great to hear from you ladies, I’ve been meaning to post to see how things are going for the new mamas 🥰 @xxcxdonxxand @Paws4thought I remember the 4 month regression well, we had it so good up until then! Sophie only fully settled properly just before she hit 18 months in April 🙈 She’s flying around now, lots of words coming and already throwing tantrums 😅. She’s super clingy also so not ideal when trying to go somewhere but would t change it for the world 🥰 Hope all you other ladies are doing well xx

Hey! Lovely to hear from you both! Hope your both doing well ❤️ glad to hear your boys are good ❤️

Sleep is a wild ride isnt it, so many regressions 😂 Ovie can do a good 10-11 hours now but still wakes randomly for a few seconds and wants his dummy!

We're good, Ovie is 18 months now, hes a wild child, into to absolutely everything these days and loves to run 🫠😂 We're still battling through his dairy allergy and there also looking at if he has asthma but other than that we're good lol

Paws4thought · 17/05/2026 10:22

@xxcxdonxx
Lovely to hear from you. The time has gone so quickly!!
Sleep has gone a bit rubbish for us too, he likes being swaddled but is starting to roll so keeping arms out, hes not impressed 🙈

Hope everyone else is well too 😊

xxcxdonxx · 17/05/2026 07:12

Hello! Thought I would do a wee check in and see how you are all getting on?

Jude is now 5.5 months, I can’t believe it! He’s doing really well, he’s such a happy wee soul. Sleep is pretty rubbish for us at the moment, he was great until 4 month and sleeping through then it all went majorly downhill 😭.

Hope all the babies and bigger kids are all doing well 💜

Awww congratulations @Jadeypie ❤️❤️ absolutely made up for you x Can't believe all your babies are here @Paws4thought @xxcxdonxx

Oh yes @Sez281 hes so active lol hes a wild child. We're in a proper development leap now hes trying to say so many words now ❤️

Ah whats sleep like for you? We've just broke the sleep association of falling asleep on me every night before going to bed. He handled it so well and now goes down in his cot awake with no issues, we still have one night wake which I think is a bit of separation anxiety so sometimes he ends up in our bed 😂💀

Oh wow @Paws4thought , huge congratulations! Hope you are all doing well and enjoyed your first Christmas together 🥰

Hope @everyone had a lovely Christmas too and all the babies and bigger kids enjoyed. We had a lovely day and now enjoying some down time and lots of chocolate.

Random Q but has anyone ever used a hands free breast pump? I’d like to get one but not sure what to go for and don’t want to spend ££s on it as it’s more to use a few times a week. I have a manual one but would like the convenience of and electric one xx

Aww congratulations @xxcxdonxx 🙌 Welcome to the world baby Jude 🩵 Such a lovely time of year for it! Enjoy all the snuggles 🥰

@Paws4thought and @Jadeypie not long now ladies, hope it all goes as smoothly as possible! 🙏

Hope everybody else is doing well. Been so busy between work and Sophie, she's running around now and loads of words starting.. well mostly farm animal noises 😂 It's hard to believe that soon all the babies will be here. Crazy the difference a couple of years has made for all of us 🥹 xx

Awww i can imagine!! Just soak it all up and rest as much as u can! Is he early? I crnt remeber your due date sorry. How was labour? Is it true its faster after the first ik hoping so for me haha. @Paws4thought your turn next. I just crnt get over how quick its all gone xxx

Show quote history

Yeah, he was one week early. I had a planned section so that was the date I’d scheduled for it. So can’t comment on labour but I’ve heard it’s quicker with the second too!
My pregnancy felt long but was super quick as soon as I finished up for mat leave. Just mad that he’s here now and this roller coaster couple of years has now come to an end xx
