It's frustrating when they refuse food isn't it Barbeasty?

Sorry to hear about your Fil mama 
I feel fine, but knackered. I'm always tired though as the genetic disease I have causes extreme fatigue so I don't really know anything else.
I'm just getting ds to sleep then I will have a bath, a sit down with dp for an hour then I will be in bed.
Just thinking about Father's Day too which is smack bang in the middle of mine and dd's birthday so easy to forget 
dp gets to spend it at the zoo though so maybe I could say that's his present

Poor you mama, I hope you can slowly start to catch some sleep back this week. Sorry to hear about your FiL.
At your DS pooing away merrily in church Beasty, how funny. And I love a good old lady fuss Pidj, makes you very smug that you produced such a gorgeous baby.
Glad DS is a little better Isthat, that's quite a little feast. all food refused here today but he's only 24w so we're not trying in earnest yet.
J has the summer cold that's going round, constant sneezing and runny nose the poor little thing
The dreaded GMiL got a little comeuppance last night. She tried the same shit on MiL (her daughter) as she does to me. Now when it happens to me MiL sits and says nothing. When it was her being criticised it pissed her off and she threw her out of her house! I shall be taking a harder line from now on

Haha Spotty she was saying ooh he's not tired, you'll never get him to sleep, there's no sleep in him. You shouldn't do that, you need to do x, y and z. I'd better stay and help you because you'll never manage it alone! And MiL said no you're annoying me now, I have had 2 kids and managed fine. Go home you're getting on my nerves
Oh to be a fly on the wall

Good for your mil! Mine are fine really but my step mum annoys me because any time ds moans/cries she always says 'aww are you hungry? Are you? Oh you want milky blah blah blah' over and over despite me repeating 'he's really tired, he needs to go to sleep, no it's nap time' argh!

I shall 
J went down no problem and I was just transferring him to his cot after his bottle when 2 massive dogs started going mad outside. So back to square one now!

Oh no willyou I got really stressed at my nans when I took DS up because the veg man and van (village in Yorkshire) turned up at 9pm and let everyone know he was there by leaning on the horn for 30 seconds! 
woke DS up after an hour of getting him to sleep. Why people animals aren't more considerate I don't know!

Ds's awake for the second time since he went down at seven (when the ice cream van inconveniently turned up 
) so tonight isn't looking good for us

Mama - sorry to hear about your FIL. Another one with fx that you get some well-earned sleep tonight.
Willyou - .
Isthat - I'm moving on from a stretchy sling atm. Although even enormobaby N is still well under the maximum weight, it went from being super comfy to really quite tricky rather quickly. I think it was maybe a combo of long baby/short mummy meaning he was either under my chin or if I wore it lower his weight seemed to pull it down so much he didn't feel safe in it anymore. Anyway, have borrowed a Storchenwiege woven and despite a bit of an uncertain start, I love it. He feels much more secure when worn in the correct place now (can bend down to kiss his head again) and the weight feels more evenly distributed so better for my back. I'm definitely going to invest in one, just need to choose which design.
I think Pidge is right though, and it is far better to have a play with a few different types as every baby and mum is different (I really liked the look of a ring sling, but N object in the strongest possible terms). This site offers online hire - hire fee is deducted from the purchase price if you decide to buy, and donated to SANDS if you don't. I know it's not really a subsitute for having someone demo them with you, but sounds as if it would be tricky for you to get to a library or meet right now.

Okay ladies, lets talk snot DS is snoring his head off and sounds like he's struggling to breathe through his nose because of all the snot. Is there anything I can do? I have elevated the head of his cot. I have a feeling neither of us is going to get much sleep tonight.

Willyou have you got baby snuffles (like vicks) to put on his clothes? Also if you put a bowl of steaming water either under his cot or by a radiator in my head i have just done a keith lemon voice so it can loosen up any mucous. Hope J is better soon
