PP need to find a children's centre then! Thank you!

Our gang is November 12 babies with a pic of a pg tummy and flowers. I think if you just put a request to join, DH21 will arrange it. Please correct me if I am wrong gang Grin

I've asked. If you've got NH from t'other fred, we have her in common :)

Dixiebell · 22/01/2013 16:30

It's actually Nov 12 babies...

Dixiebell · 22/01/2013 16:32

Started snowing heavily here again. Argh, I can't take another whole day in the house on my own with 2 DSs!! Need to get out to playgroup or something for sanity. Love a bit of snow, but really it should be restricted to weekends only. DS1 wanted to sledge yesterday, but can't really manage that on my own with a 7 week old in tow...

ValiumQueen · 22/01/2013 16:43

I have got NH Wink

Thank you dixie and I agree, snow should only be for weekends. It should be the law.

YW after chatting to my nct mum today I've decided its 'normal levels' of reflux plus as I express in the morn and he's not that hungry then it tends to blow his head off with my let down and then he spends all morning recovering - evening he's just a pig and thenwe get it all then but I will keep an eye on it thanks! thinking about switching to expressing in early evening instead - a mumat nct did it, anyone else have thoughts?

Gt - wow that's great! yes I read 40 days is the norm. our Japanese friend went to stay with her mother and wasn't allowed out for a month. I think there's a lot to be said for it!!!

catching up on your post pidj....

PurplePidjin · 22/01/2013 17:02

VQ there's a hat and a sling in my profile pic, first name and user name have the same initial Wink

I wouldn't bother, Clarella, it's a giant rant Blush

StuntNun · 22/01/2013 17:02

Sophia dessert perhaps?

Clarella · 22/01/2013 17:07

oh ffs pidj it's been weeks now you poor thing how bloody useless. can you go to your .gp about it - cos you need to look after you and they might be more proactive? ( sorry if you've already tried and I missed that)

well done on crochet stuff!

Passmethecrisps · 22/01/2013 17:39

Right! I am going to have to start taking notes. I read thing and think "oh, I must comment on that" then by the time I get to actually posting I can only remember the last 3 posts!

I noticed one of the ante-natal threads (I think it might be march) started before the new Year. Why do we talk so much? Not that I'm complaining

sophia I looked up the fist-nomming because P does that too. It is likely to be a combination of just playing and tiredness. Also, thank you for nappy sniffing. That is the sort of solidarity I have come to expect from those in the group Grin

yellow that GP clearly has no idea who he is dealing with. You are a force - J is a lucky baby. I get infuriated by the suggestion that babies just cry or being told that they grow out of it. I wouldn't tolerate my mouth being filled with acid multiple times a day so why should a baby?

On that note . . .

kissy I am glad you got the meds your LO needs. YW is right in what she says about domperidone. P is on it and it is a massive help to her as a FF baby with a tendency towards serious constipation. For us, it's a nice side-effect.

Errr . . .

Oh pidj what a complete load of shite from your HV. Why is it so hard to get some of these people to take us seriously. It's like as soon as you have a baby you become invisible.

I think the beef crisps thing in the p might just be full nappies. However, there are breweries / whisky storage near here and, to be honest, the smell is the same. I actually now think having stuck my face in many nappies that the smell comes from the milk she is on. I have made another thread asking I anyone knows how to get the smell out of the bottles - the stuff reaks.

Aargh. What else did I want to say???

Passmethecrisps · 22/01/2013 17:41

And you can just join the Facebook group without a request anymore. Used to be secret. Now t'is not

Passmethecrisps · 22/01/2013 17:43

I meant the smell of her milk out of bottles. Not the smell of wee. I am not bottling her wee.

Passmethecrisps · 22/01/2013 17:44

Although that would be an unusual keepsake.

horseylady · 22/01/2013 17:45

Kirrin - you think horse people are bad? The dog work evil!!! I'd love for my horses to live out. Sadly we dont have the grazing. My pony (although out on loan) melts in most weather!! My tb just trashes the ground. The section as are ok. But they stay in to keep her company. I just don't have the land to let her wreck it. She goes out with hay in the dry.

No more rolling so far. But he's been on me most of the day!!

Has anyone read wonder weeks? It's very interesting!

Passmethecrisps · 22/01/2013 17:48

I flicked through that horsey. P seems more on line with those than typical growth spurts eg. Going mental at 8 weekd

horseylady · 22/01/2013 17:55

Yes e the same!! Not read it thoroughly yet doubt I will but it seems quite good!

Passmethecrisps · 22/01/2013 18:04

At the moment I feel like I will never read anything apart from mumsnet ever again!

I have a question!

When sitting in her bouncer P has taken to straining forward if that makes sense. The other day when she was in te pram she did the same thing - sort of pushing forward from the waist. Could she be trying to sit up?

PurplePidjin · 22/01/2013 18:09

Thanks, sure start lady is going to follow up with hv and I'm seeing my gp tomorrow - dp has advised i stage a meltdown i haven't told him how little acting will be required

horseylady · 22/01/2013 18:22

Pass - e doing the same. I assumed it trying to support himself more.

YellowWellies · 22/01/2013 18:27

Pass that sounds like she's trying to sit - clever poppet!!!!!

We've had a roll from his tummy onto his back - whoop!

We might also have 'short man syndrome'. Jonas has just met MM's beautiful Matilda and despite being 6 weeks senior he is clearly a short arse - no one tell him!!!! He tried to impress her by letting her sit on his swing....

horsey my sister raves about Wonder Weeks - I've got the app on my iPhone - its great though the timing doesn't seem to fit with a premmie even using his EDD as recommended. Anyone else find that?

Now how do I change my name to 'YellowWillies'!!!! Wink

NotSoNervous · 22/01/2013 18:36

Wow, I last come on last night and have 150 posts to catch up on

PR I agree that you do write very well and agree with what you said. This place is such a great place to come for support, to vent and advice. I do feel like you can say whatever you need on this thread and not be judged but given support. I also prefer to ask for advice on here because its given with the best intention and I can take what I want and what I think would work for me which in RL I don't like getting advice off people because I always feel its forced upon me to do it and listen to it and if I don't take it I'm judged as a mother and its not fair. Every baby is different and so is every parent.

How's Oscar after his jabs detective?

My LO had hers today and omg it was awful, she was screaming and screaming and hen fall asleep but woke up screaming Sad poor things

Damn there was so much I wanted to comment on but I still suffer from baby brain!

I've ordered an electric breast pump, the spectra 3. Is it sad that I'm excited for it to arrive? Grin

TheDetective · 22/01/2013 18:37

Do it do it do it

horseylady · 22/01/2013 18:37

Reading the book which is more general in terms of timings etc.

Apparently i need to do some sort of upgrade on my phone?!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 22/01/2013 18:42

Oh yeah pass I meant to say,......am out off beef crisps forever!

Must be stunt but all I can offer him for dessert is a muller corner or a weightwatchers yoghurt! Hmm

TheDetective · 22/01/2013 18:42

Awww Nervous poor little thing! It feels awful doesn't it? They look at you with their big eyes and you feel horrible because you can't tell them it's for their own good!

Oscar had a good scream poor nurse, she should invest in ear plugs but he was part way through a feed. I carried on feeding him when we got back in the waiting room and he chilled out. He doesn't seem bothered yet, but we shall see what tonight brings! Am going to make DP go next time though Grin!

Bloody jabs eh?!
