I don't think it is the baby bath stuff, we've been using the same one since he was born.

Fennel - Keep up with the bf if you think you can manage it, but don't if you are going to end up stressed with blocked ducts. You're better off being comfortable with what you do.

It's my lunch hour. I'm allowed!!

MrsD.
Quite right lunavix - Fennel, you should, of course, do what you feel most comfortable doing.
Sorry, don't know what else to suggest re rash. Do remember taking ds to doc's once with a rash and doc just mumbling something about it probably being 'viral'.

could it be heat rash?

Maybe... it just looks quite severe. doctors can be so unhelpful too.

Is this link any good?

Thanks!
It said it was nothing... might leave it for a few days

thanks HD and Lunavix - am at work and dd3 at nursery so can't keep feeding and can't quite face expressing in discomfort. but will not quit today. you're right HD I was getting quite into it lately but teeth and sore pms feelings are a bit of a double whammy. plus DP is getting desperate for me to stop to hopefully (in his view) recover some semblance of a sex drive

Mrs D you are joining in on some very controversial threads - are you mad? or drunk? or just very bored at work? I wouldn't dare.

Go back to doc's if you're not happy though

that's advice to lunavix I presume, HD?

Very very Bored!!! so bored i am joining a book group - AT WORK!

Mrs D - fiction books or worthy academic tomes?

Worthy academic tomes.

MrsD - what ages kids do you have?

Only the one - dd is at nursery at the moment. i am at home 'working', I'll have you know!
I ought to pick her up actually

Well if dd is 6 months as I'm guessing from the thread, and you work as well, when you going to fit worthy academic tomes in?

Exactly lunavix, I'm over-worked!! Obviously

Oops, yes, Fennel - that was advice to lunavix.
Hope your pms feelings disappear soon...

I'm dreadfully bored at home, I'd love to go back to work but can't afford it!
We went to Cornish Goldsmiths on holiday, and painted a clay train for DS, and I remember thinking i'd like a hobby like that, then came back to my senses and remembered if it doesn't directly involve ds it isn't happening!

I can't afford not to work lunavix. Horses for courses anyway
I am working from home today because I don't need to be in the office. My problem is , the monumental effort required to 'get on with it'

I only get paid a few hundred a month over childcare... so at the moment i might as well stay home. Will be starting childminding though...

agree I only get a couple of hundred a month more than childcare but essentially that is food. There is also the other things to think about for the future like future maternity leave and health insurance that is covered by work.
Horrible isn't it, I'm finding it harder by the hour to go to work (and stay here).

Thats true its food, but then for 45 hours a week (with travelling times) ds is at nursery on his own, when i could work evenings and get that couple of hundred and he'd be with dp....
its that hard debate isnt it.

yes I'd love to find something I can get that money from but we're trying to think of all the other positive things. She is a really social baby and just loves nursery. When we went to pick her up last night she was sitting on the floor with a little boy of 10months and they had an activity ball and they were both playing with it and it just looked so cute.
Also she gets all these different toys at nursery which we don't have to turn around and buy as well therefore saving a little there.
If you think of something though let me know.

lunavix, what sort of job did you do? can you work part time?

chuffed, my dd3 was so happy at nursery when I picked her up yesterday, playing with long lengths of silver foil ribbon. she was totally engrossed. It's getting easier to leave her seeing that she really is interested in what's going on there.
