Scorps Excellent you're home. Pliz to share birth story in CRESH? Am amazed at your ability to type already - think I was still a mad, shell-shocked wtf have I done? at your stage. Mostly popping in to say google exaggerated latch and jack Newman - will really help with the owie nipples.

Was someone I met at my pregnancy yoga Bitey. Think she ordered them off the net and did it herself!

SheShootsSheScoresABaybee WELCOME BACK!!! Over to CRESH for birth story pliz. And definitely look up that Jack Newman stuff. He's good.

So glad you got home at last Scorps, can't wait for the details :)

Yay Scorpelino - wondered how long you'd be able to stay away . Birth story & nipple advice available over in the Spa....don't want to frighten the unafflicted.

Woohoo scorps, can't wait to read north story.

Ps we need a new thread, I reckon Laurie should do the honours.

North should be birth!

I agree... top o' the list responsibility loz

Lovely to have you back Scorpshasgotababy and let me adjust the DHB medal to just above the breast

Off to work till late so could someone update me for new fred...

Macaroonmum, only my arse is blooming, due Aug 6th.

laurie oooh Thayers, nice. Unusual. What about "rumnraisin", "triplechockchunk"?

Welcome back home, Score and MrT. Looking forward to hearing all the gory details.

scorps if hurting, use little finger to unlatch and relatch till ok, it?s really important to get it right or your nips will suffer. Make sure baybee all in a straight line across you and don?t hold his head it?ll make him pull back, we were taught to hold at the collar of the babygro. Nose to nipple and wait till his mouth is really wide then bring him on really quickly.

Also smearing a little bm over them will help heal, and don?t let them dry out.

Sccccccccccooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee Congratulations! Welcome home and hope the sage advice above helps your nips. They look fine from here

Thayers used to have real shards of murray mint in their mint choc chop ice cream Hmmmm what abut Murray for a boy?

A fine, Scottish name bitey!

welcome back scorps! You sound totally loved up, and rightly so. Please to share some more pictures of the gorgeous MrT? And bring your story over to the CRESH.

Yay Scorps! Glad you're home and ok. Hope you get BF sorted too - the Jack Newman website looks most useful for future reference.

laurielou, how are you today? Still chilled and zen-like?

The KellyMom website here has loads of useful advice and help as well, Score. And you've had some good advice here - if any pain aprt from initial let down then check and recheck latch.

I think I may be over thinking this but I am worried I have forgotten how to BF a newborn (despite feeding MiniG for 2.5 years! Toddlers get your boobs out themselves and latch themselves on ). Reading everything about proper latch etc has reminded me of the tough early days. Hopefully is like riding a bike, yes?

While we're on the subject, does anyone know how to make 3 year olds sleep through the night without doing the crying thing? He still insists I go and sleep in his bed with him. Slightly concerned now am going to be getting up with both newborn and 3 year old.

If it gives you hope LadyG miniboo started sleeping all night after he hit 3 - it was like someone hit a switch. However I have heard very good things about Groclocks and was on the verge of buying one when all of a sudden it wasn't a problem anymore: www.amazon.co.uk/GroCompany-HJ008-Gro-Clock-Sleep-Trainer/dp/B002APJCNE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306408417&sr=8-1

Thanks Boo. Will have a look into it. The prob is getting him to be happy in his own bed on his own. He doesn't even want to come into my comfy big bed. I have to go and get into his single bed

Can you fit a double bed in his room and set up a 'family bed' type situation? (just a thought, I know it's not for everyone but I know we tend to do things similarly).

I can't really fit a double in his room and have space for any toys. I am fairly aware that the new baby will most likely end up co-sleeping - maybe when we've moved to the new house we will have to not set our king size up but put the mattress on the floor with a single mattress next to it and do some massive family bed arrangement. Not sure how MrG will react to that idea! But life with a newborn is about survival I think.

Where is everyone today? Where is Lozza?

We need a new fred!

Hello? Anyone there?

Has secret new thread started without me?

I am here! I don't know where the new fred is though.

it doesn't look like there is one.

OK, new fred here Sorry haven't got updates from anyone but we ran out of space!
