Is there another adult in the house? Use the trapped time to micromanage the other grown up to do all the tasks you’ve been putting off.

Are you me? Currently under breastfeeding pox-ridden two year old in front of Ice Age…

I’m in exactly the same situation. I’ve put mine in an oat bath and some music on and she’s happy for a minute at least.

How do we do an oat bath is it just porridge? He's only itching neck and scalp really but very tired and bit grumpy.

I put a small handful of plain porridge oats in a muslin then seal it into a pouch using a hairband. Then dunk into the bath water and squeeze. Seems to work but there’s probably a more sophisticated way!

She’s been in there half an hour. Happy days.

Tie oats in a pop sock, or old pair of tights. Or an odd sock...
Let them slack in the water and squeeze the milkiness out of them.

Mines nodded off now, don't know what that means for bedtime 🙈
