Lizzie - Hang in there with the potty training, it's early days yet. I've no advice for you (I've done SOOOO badly with potty training one of my dd's to tell you about it would be a horror story you don't need). I'm sure it'll come good eventually.
RG - Have you discovered Pampers disposable change mats. They're exactly the same as the absorbant mats the mw's bring with tehm to a home birth (I can't remember what they're called). I use them exclusively, (but use each mat until their really old/ poo-d or wee-d on before I throw them out). Marnie has about half an hour a day rolling around in nothing but her birthday suit courtesy of these lovely mats as well as being changed on them.
We're onto using fabric nappies at night tonight as our last disposable was used last night.
So far fabric nappies seem ok. I followed Jetgirl and ditched the liner as baby poo is so tame (compared to weaned baby poo). At the risk of horrifying everyone, I rinse my pooey nappies before I put them in the pre wash soak bucket. I that really gross? Should I pack it in?
I'm loving the big bummed-ness of the fabric nappies though! Muy bueno!
Silk - sorry to hear about you bad nights, hope tonights plan goes well. I'm sure Megan will get the hang of sleeping at night soon, hang in there.
SGK - That picture of Callum (crying in santa suit) really brought back memories. I have a similar one of dd2 at that age! Can't wait to see the uploaded picture of Callum and his cousin. I love the one of them taken just after they were born.
Question? Why is the nothing good on TV these days, do they not know I've got a young child so won't be getting out of the house too much at nights for a while? Oh and a trick I picked up when dd's were this age and one of them always seemed to be crying when there was something I was actually watching. Pop the subtitles on, that way you can sooth a crying child and keep up with whatever you're watching.
