October Slatterns/Listmakers - clearing cobwebs and scary spiders, join us!

[HalfMumHalfBiscuit]

My first thread .

HMHB - I would try JKS' suggestion, DS was one for this as well and the only thing that really worked was swaddling him before a feed and then putting him down wrapped up. He also used to like to lie wherever someone had been sitting, or lying in bed so that it was a nice warm spot! Actually, he still does, tries to barge me out of the way when he's in for a feed at night .
So pleased that you are both ok, we were getting a bit worried about you!

Had a lovely swim with DS, he wore himself out so will hopefully sleep well tonight!

Ohh, yes good thinking. Might also try a hot water bottle in her cot whilst I'm feeding her and take it out when I put her in -she likes it warm this one.

Here is my birth story. Get yourself a brew, its a bit long. here

hot water bottle is good too, if you can manage the taking it out whilst ever-so-gently lowering a sleeping baby into the cot!

Feeling rubbish, so evening that i had planned of getting stuff done has gone out the window. Whole time on MN instead and maybe a bit of trashy telly

Hi everyone I haven't completely dissappeared plum, I have been poorly, well I still am, thanks for wondering about me though!! I have been on MN now and again to see how everyone is, I just haven't felt like posting.

Congrats to flame and HMHB on the birth of your little bundles

I may be back with a basic list in the morning, I am sure you can imagine the house is in a bit of a state, although DH has tryed his best.

RD - sorry to hear you aren't well Hope you're feeling better soon.

Alice - are you poorly too?
