Morning all! Congratulations for all the new arrivals. And good luck, Gracie! We really are very boy heavy in here, it seems. I wonder if they're going to double the number of girls?
On the subject of dummies, I've tried Mindy with a dummy a couple of times (we got an Avent one with the steriliser) to try and settle her in the evening, but she's really not interested. Spits it straight out. She doesn't really suck her thumb either... Only time she sucks her hands is when she's hungry. Oh well! She self settles without too much trouble after a bit.
That achy pressure I was having seems to be fading now, which is a relief. I'm probably just healing up but found Ibuprofin was better than Paracetamol when I needed to go out and about, and also doing yet more pelvic floor exercises helped.
Anyway, I have a quick question, for anyone that's been to a Mum and Baby cinema showing before...if anyone has? The Odeon near me does such showings and I was thinking of going with Mindy in a couple of weeks time, as I want to see Toy Story 3 and DH really does not.
My question is regarding the logistics... Do Mums normally bring their LOs in prams/pushchairs? I assume LOs sit on their Mum's knee... So where do the prams/pushchairs go during the film? Or do you just bring the child in the car seat... Or should I use the carry wrap?
Also, for changing purposes... Presumably you pop out and use the facilities in the bathrooms to change LO if necessary. Do you have to take everything with you and risk losing your seat, or leave things behind and risk having them stolen? Is it worth me finding a Mummy friend to go with so we can watch one another's stuff, if possible??
So confusing.
