Will try to keep up with this one!

Can't believe there's a new thread already!

Appropriate title as I constantly forget tummy time! I lied to the health visitor that he does it every day

Tiger I done exactly the same, I have no shame haha! She hates tummy time and screams I don't think I forget so much as just don't do it because she hates it so much!
Do u think the HV can tell when we lie?

fruit I bloody hope they can't tell! My LO gets constant tummy time sleeping on me or lies on her side next to me. I'd be reported of I confessed to that! She said 'don't be tempted to co sleep will you?' I nodded thoughtfully

Ahem

marking my place without a hope of keeping up

How long will this thread last? A week?

[bshock] ha loving the new smileys

Oh Katie does tummy time on me count? Brill if it does, she's always on her tummy on me! Not so much of a lie after all then hehe!
I hate it when HV's say things like that, it's up to us as the parents if we want to co sleep or not, don't they realise the way they make us feel when they judge all the time?

Great thred title stunt as we are yet to do tummy time . However, DS does have pretty good head control and we sit up up a lot on us, or on his front on us a fair amount

nervous at the rate of the last one, I'd be surprised if it was that long.

fruit I bloody hope so? ;)

To be honest I'm a bit cynical. If we do everything by the book- put them down on their backs to sleep and nap to a routine it seems we then need tummy time? You can't bloody win can you?

I paid enough for Osteo to know that DD is in no danger of an effing flat head....

Also, I just inhaled a chocolate bar

That is all

I never did tummy time with my first two and they managed to develop without it. It's just that back-sleeping can delay physical development of rolling etc. early on but they will still get there in the end. So tummy time is good for your baby but not essential.

katie DS sleeps on his side next to me too. Health Visitor thinks he sleeps lovely in his basket and just gets out for feeds. I am terrble for just saying what they want to hear to get them out quicker. No more visits for us now thank god!

Marking place. Just exposed myself to all of my neighbours answering the door mid feed. Dammit. [bblush]

We are getting there sleep wise. Matilda now associates getting into her jammies a different sleepsuit as bed time. We've given up on stamping an early bedtime on her for now and just keep her up with us till about 10.30/11ish. Then have a big feed in bed and she's gone down the last 3 nights from 11 till 4ish, awake for a 20 min feed then down till about 7/8ish again. I love her a little bit more now [bwink]

Happy burns day fellow scots! [bgrin] I might have a cheeky wee dram tonight seeing as we have no haggis! (and M no longer cluster feeds all night!) [bhmm]

Marks place ...again :)

Marking place.

Jealous of the chocolate bar Katie. Stupid slimming world

I'm out with DD who is in a pink jacket and blanket and I get asked if I've got a little boy? Wtf

Now then. Back in a bit :)

Hello new thread. The last one started on Saturday right? Maybe time to implement GT's plan.

Poor Stunt should get an OBE for services to thread-naming.

Yes Blonder she should bless her

How is there already a page on this thread?!

pig (holds up hand ) that might be me

Ahem

I've needed chat this week
