Urgh I'm getting dp cold. I have a really sore throat and snotty. . Baby has been a little sniffly but it has not developed. Is there anything other than hand washing I can do to prevent her getting it and if she does get it when do I worry? Anything I can do to relieve her symptoms?

Scottish - what do you need to find me on fb just my name? Not sure how many of my name there is

[susiegrapevine]

ishop signet fb group is the same as here really. Yes you join with your real profile but people on the group can only see your profile pic not all the info about you unless you friend them.

[susiegrapevine]

Doh should really remember to read to the end of the thread! Jacob has his jabs today I don't wanna go :(.

[MrsMigginslovespies]

Hello not been on for ages as am on FB. Do join us as easier to read plus lovely photos! Also got jags today so gearing myself up. Started domperidone yesterday so fingers crossed it works better than the gaviscon. Hope y'all are well x

[sc0ttishlass]

Hi signet if you send me your name and what pic looks like? Xx

[hamncheese]

Story about my baby vomit hairdo on fb... Tempting non? ;)

[ishopthereforeiam]

Ah ok, so if one is a weirdo like me (!?) you can still keep your "RL" friends separate from your MN activity on the FB group?

As in stuff you put on the MN FB group won't publish in your timelines etc for other non MN friends to see?

In other news - shattered. Our tentative routine has been shot to pieces over the last week but going to dig deep and start again(!)

[geekette]

Is there anyone else not on fb?

[hamncheese]

Yep ishop only people on the group will see your posts I'm their timeline, your RL friends won't. Join join join!

Sandy decided upon waking this morning to scream unless held upside down (tiger in tree) for an hour and wouldn't feed. Then he decided he would feed and did and fell asleep. The mind boggles sometimes. Also last night he would only sleep if my boob was touching him, how comfortable for me!

[hamncheese]

In*

[hamncheese]

If anyone was still really wanting anonymity and doesn't use fb they could sign up to fb with their MN username instead of real name and join the group that way...

[The3Bears]

Ive never been on FB but I will set up an account when I have a spare few minutes :) and let you know.

Noah had jabs yesterday :( he screamed it was awful, but he slept fine last night and seems okay today so just having a lazy cuddled up day :)

hope everyone else is okay, how did your LO's first jabs go?

[hamncheese]

Aw poor Noah! Glad he's coping we'll. Sandy cried for a minute when it happened but cuddled and he had his dummy so was fine after. He was having a bad day though so I don't know if he was more upset or not! He did have a very big runny green nappy the day after though!

[Loislane78]

Glad to hear your LOs were OK after their jabs :) Got DDs on Tues (bit late due to cock up with her NHS number!).

Does anyone know if you can you take them swimming after the 1st lot of jabs or is it the second?

Hope everyone having a good day :)

[susiegrapevine]

Jacob had his jab yesterday cried when he had them done but had just yanked him from sleeping in his car seat. Had a bit of a temp this morn so gave him the little bit of calpol they are allowed and he has seemed fine. He also had horrid runny poo earlier tonight not green but a yellowy brown and really liquid. Just gave him boob directly after to stop hom crying and has been having a lot of boob since!

[hamncheese]

Feel bad the thread is dying :(

Anyone else not on fb page should drop me a pm to be added, don't want to lose you!!

[The3Bears]

Just pm'd you ham

[ishopthereforeiam]

geekette i'm not on the fb one (yet), was a bit worried as anonymous etc.

so can everyone in the group see your wall, photos etc?

Alk ok here, second interview this week - a bit nervous as they want someone to start sooner than I'd hoped which would mean putting little man in nursery at just 4-5 months for a day a week

Did everyone have a lovely weekend?

[sc0ttishlass]

Hi I shop, with fb only the person who you become friends with who then adds you to the group would see your profile, nobody else in the Facebook 'due in August' group would see anything...I'm not an expert but I wonder if then once added you can hide your profile from the person who adds you? Or If you de friend them once added maybe you can still be in the group, if you know what I mean?
Good weekend here weather was nice, Finn and I went to watch dh run in a cross country race so I used pram to full off reading capability :) spent some time struggling to get him to take expressed from a bottle, but think we have a break through.. Hoping not just a one off! Xx

[ishopthereforeiam]

Thanks scottish have fb messaged signet so hopefully will be on the group soon. Well done with the bottle - we've (just about) managed to get little man to take expressed milk in a bottle but I have been trying to get him on formula so I can mixed feed...

[ishopthereforeiam]

oops meant tash not signet doh!

[hamncheese]

Ok thread. For any who have been missing and come to find this thread a bit desolate you can join the fb page anytime you like. Just send me a PM on here and I will add you. I will still be checking MN so even if its been a while feel free!! [hsmile]

[geekette]

Just saying my goodbyes as I really have no interest in signing up to fb... you ladies have fun! And good luck to all the little ones!

[ishopthereforeiam]

I'll still be popping on here as well geekette but if you're leaving this thread too (?) then bon chance

[tashaw28]
