CRESH - Crap ham, stinky Brie, gin and lol'ing at birth plan believers

Heeyah.

Give her a smint rocket. Apparently it?s the way forward according to some Esh. I?ll leave it up to them to step forward if they wish.

Am loving the pashing fans, we get similar here too, got to love swallowing the baby drool. He bit my big toe at the weekend though

I made him cry yesterday because he hit me over the head with his mobile phone*, so I said ?no? in a very Firm Voice with a very Stern Look Indeed.

*toy one, he?s not got an i-phone quite yet.

haha 'tis true. I gave Bear a smint yesterday because he was begging - I didn't think he'd actually eat it! I thought he'd just spit it out and pull a face. Trouble is they contain xylitol... Oh my. [Edvard Munch]

Those of you with over ones ? did you get really emotional as it approached their birthday? I am turning in to a gibbering wreck. Is this hormones due to droid, is it normal or am I just not a hardfaced dhb any more?

Speaking of dhbs, TGO was crying at the tv last night. He was watching some thing about Kings A&E and there was a young lad who?d been really badly injured, and they were interviewing his dad and TGO was sobbing quietly in the corner. Bless.

Hello all, apologies for immediate me-me-me but am in some kind of clusterfeeding hell. I am literally swapping him from side to side all day. Thankfully he is going down for a long stretch at night which has stopped me going over the edge. Anyone else had this? My nips seem to be coping which makes me think the latch is okay but the boy is a frigging bottomless pit.

Yay Owlie - all sounds perfectly normal to me. Apart from the sleeping at night....that's just jammie . Sounds like Owlet is getting your supply established and nowt to worry about.

owl how old (apols) have forgotted.

Welcome luffly bootiicious apols again for that FB mix up, I really am a dim wit sometimes. Great news on the sleeping. Sounds like supply to me, shouldn't last too long, just dont bother doing anything else for a few weeks. Dont bother leaving the house/getting dressed but make sure you have enough to eat and drink to hand during the day. Is Mr Booty still off?

Not sure a smint would be a good idea for a few months yet (her first solid food? ) but I'll bear it in mind for future ref. The doc has given us some lactulose and also suggested a few drops of fresh orange in water as an alternative.

Poor Artie, even i am scared of the Firm Voice coupled with a Stern Look.

I love my mooncup. It is ace.

I am compiling a list of places I would prefer my ever rolling daughter not to roll:

1. Off the bed.
2. Off the sofa.
3. In the bath (she seemed remarkably nonchalent about the face full of water)
4. Out of the pram when I'm trying to strap her in.
5. Off the chair in her room.
6. Off the fecking changing table in her room which is the top of a chest of drawers. I bent down to pick up a nappy and in the meantime she had rolled/climbed half over the stupid ridge that is meant to keep her in. I swear I nearly died on the spot.

What happened to my tiny baby that I could put anywhere and she would still be there hours later? This one rolls and now commando crawls and has some kind of deathwish.

Oh yes, we get a tearful reaction to stern voice and death stare. And then I have to say an even firmer "no" to make sure she knows I will not suffer tantrums! Then I have to give her a cuddle because that is all that will console her - by which point the original reason for the telling off and tantrum is forgotten.

Muser It's a horrible stage when they can roll but have no control. Squeaks managed to get a bloody nose once and I was horrified. It does get better! She can now climb up and down in a controlled fashion, and will happily sit/lie on some high surfaces without taking off. I use the changing table more now than I ever have. And she likes to sit on the kitchen worktop while I make a bottle.

Welcome along booty. Sorry, I was not a proper BFer so can offer no help. But please do take the advice to sit and do feck all while you can.

In a semi-serious way it bothers me a bit rockets as so many people have (upon getting to know me) fessed up that I am somewhat scary on first meeting. I want to be soft and cuddly mummy not mean and scary mummy. Otoh it could be a good thing as I hope it means he will do what we say.

curls I think cuddles after a telling off is a good thing personally (re above re soft and cuddly mummy).

Did you use something other than your tits when you bfed squeaks then???

actually, yes. she had a lot of bottle and cups, and when I wasn't feeding I was pumping my vast volumes of the white stuff. I never got to experience the whole establishing supply and then easing off thing. I had so much milk I generally spent a lot of time soaking the wee mite's face and my laptop and curtains, the dog ...

And yes, cuddles after telling off are good. it says "mummy won't put up with your shit, but she does love you".

I've already had a no from the recruitment agency. "An overwhelming response to the advert, and people better suited". Meh . But they are still keen to get me on their books. How long before they get pissed of with me saying "no" to each annoying little commission-based post?

sorry curls didn?t mean to put foot in.

Goes off to find shovel and dig deeper hole.

sorry cos, I meant to put come and in there, You never put your put in it! I've actually learned a lot of lessons for next time and intend to spend a lot more time with my nipple in the baby's mouth, even if only for a few weeks again.

come some

put foot

I am shit today, no wonder they don't want to hire me!

Anyway, shut up with the ?proper bfer? rubbish. Wtf is one of them?? Did your baby get bm? Yes. Nuf said.

Sorry about the job thing though :(

Bad news about the job curls

Evening hags!

Meds - Hope you are ok! You sound amazingly strong and its the not knowing what the future holds that is the hardest part I'm sure.

curls - bah humbug to the job!

Wrt weaning, we started off on purees and then introduced finger foods. He'll do spoonfed and self fed meals. However tonight he had sweetcorn which he spat out when I fed it on the spoon, though he would hand feed himself the sweetcorn that had been spat onto his tray! Go figure. We have also started being batted away by strong hands when he is in disagreement with a food offering.

Your MoonCup talk makes me wince! I can't even use Lilets! I'm an applicator tampon kind of gal. I do like the theory of the MoonCup but can't imagine using one. I can already vision me sat in A&E waiting to be seen so that the blasted thing can be removed. I never realised that they were so popular.

I've been having a few days of feeling a bit low, think its the stress of ML ending, MB going to nursery, HI has been working a lot and its been just me and the kid solid for the last five days and its knocked me for six, there is so much I want to do at home, the car needs gutting as its grotsville plus got hoss stress and my throat is sore AGAIN. MB and I seem to be run down with another rotten cold. I could sleep for a week and I'm narked at being a single parent who is constantly left holding the screaming baybee. I'm struggling to get out of the house before 10am most days how the HELL am I going to be able to get to work on time??

I'm out on a girly night tomorrow and its dinner out. Cannot wait. Some me time.

What can we say Silv, mooncups are cool sorry you've been feeling low.

Anyway bed is calling.

What's everyone up to today then? we're off to a first birthday party this avo. Luckily yesterdays biblical style downpour has stopped and the sun is actually shining.

I gave up trying to find a nice leather handbag as the only one I liked was Pierre cardin which surely would've swallowed me up like a time machine and taken me back to the 80s. Got a 'reasonable' bag and cardin in Esprit, both for 70% off ta. Bought a differ top for going out with girls tonight.

Very sorry about the job curls, it's horrible when they reject you before even considering you iykwim.

Have also been shopping today. Although still almost two stone above pre-pregnancy weight and three above goal I really cannot bear to wear the same three non-maternity tops that fit me any more. Have bought two new pairs leggings and a couple of new tops and a dress for Rach's party! They are all, ahem, tummy skimming so hopefully will not be too gigantic when have lost the weight. Congrats on 70% off Alps

Woke up amazed this morning - my little baby slept through last night! At only 4 weeks! I realise this is showing off of the highest order but seeing as I can count the number of times MiniG has slept through on two hands (at the age of 3) please allow me a moment of pride (probably won't last though)

We are BBQing this afternoon at a friends. Has anyone seen the state of the sky today?? Certainly not outdoor weather.

I'm a right social butterfly what with a girls night out later too.

Tomorrow I'm riding!!! Been a whole week...

We have also been shopping as we needed to get a gift for TBs rentals. It pissed it down and was full of over made up under dressed girls buying up all the hunter wellies they could find. Oh yes, it's Creamfields weekend. But mission accomplished and I also got 2 outfits for next summer from pumpkin patch for 12 quid. Result. (for sprout not me!)

Bloody knackered now though and we are supposed to be going out for dinner this evening. I think I might bail and stay home with sprout as I can't see it going well expecting her to sleep in her car seat like when she was really little. Just wondering what age anyone else managed to do that til?
