I'm a bit worried by this. DS1 and DS2 are expecting that J will get an Easter egg but it may not be the ideal first weaning food!

Of course J gets an egg for mummy to scoff later duuuuh

Interesting Detective. I wonder if J prefers Hotel Chocolat eggs?

Well, I know that in this household, DS prefers creme eggs, and lots of 'em

I hope the Easter bunny doesn't visit S, I fear for my waistline!

J will have to eat it while the others are all asleep. With just the wrapping left to show for it :)

Seconded. Mummies get all scoffing rights on confectionary until babies are at least a year

Can he bring sleepy dust?

Yawn

Poor VQ

Dh looked a bit embarrassed yesterday when I pointed out it's hotel chocolAT rather than choc-a-lot which he'd been loudly talking about. Bless him.

I've already eaten 2 easter eggs

MM I've eaten one..

stunt don't feel sorry for vq don't think it was just baby keeping her up!

or rather vq was keeping Mr vq up! ...couldn't resist!

stunt messaged you on last thread - extreme sleeplessness, eczema, and colicky behaviour are classic CMPI even without reflux. Can't remember what else I wrote...

I'm going to bulk buy Easter eggs and scoff em in November when I wean the wee man. Sadly though all the ones I've seen have eat by dates in July. Grrrr. Meh on the plus side I am now lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight (though was a bit lardy when got knocked up) still at this rate I'll be my ideal weight in 7 weeks as I'm losing 2lb a week without trying.

MM lurgy has left the building and breast milk has cured conjunctivitis (though squirting milk in his eye pissed him off royally!) so yip see you at massage tomorrow xxx

Hi all!!

I have missed 2 or 3 threads I think. And only posted briefly & rarely on other threads. I just don't have time for more at the mo except today as I'm stuck in potty training DD & ignoring the housework as I just CBA

I just thought that if I was posting elsewhere a lot today, it would be rude not to say Hello to the quiche...

I eat a whole egg last Monday! and two boxes of rabbits ferraro roshie! ...must stop!
oh and fruit I couldn't post in the last Fred ...your spin and play was a bargain ...I had to get mine from amazon for 17 quid as I have still given up eBay for lent!

hey chunky you have been missed!!

Just lost my big long post...

So here is a summary!

Daisy I didn't have a positive thing to say for nearly 8 weeks between weeks 4-12 when I was express feeding. These ladies tolerated and cheered me on day in day out.

In terms of bottles and sterilisers, I make all the days feeds first thing in morning whilst bouncing him in a bouncy chair. Milton tablets and a bucket have changed my world. Scrub bottle dump in bucket, get out, feed and repeat. Change water once a day. Means I don't have to find 6 mins to get the microwave steriliser going.

My other trick is to make casseroles when he naps and cook them during day, cheap healthy food that can be eaten with one hand and a spoon if he's being Velcro.

Don't know if any of this drivel helps!

Now mrs VQ were you up all night due to J or 8 inches ;)

Right I'm looking for a heavy duty baby carrier suitable for hillwalking that is clipped rather than tied and which doesn't put their hips in the wrong position - on which basis I've discounted all baby bjorns. Am I looking at the ergo? Any suggestions?

J was up three times, DH only the once

Bit of TMI, sorry. Period arrived first time after giving birth. Is it safe to use mooncup or shall I stick with towels this cycle?

I reckon it's fine Lily; there shouldn't be any risk of infection now, that was only during lochia flow.

am I mean buying books for my boys instead of eggs?

stupid fucking drs have no appointments this week and pot luck for the emergency appointments in the morning if you manage to get through.

on a positive note Y slept through which is first time in about six weeks. I will slink away now
