macaco I didn't know you could get a hood with a built in rain cover!!! I got the rain cover and get a bit frustrated that I have to put it on after DS goes in - other than that I LOVE my Jane pram and I won't utter a word against it . I hope you get sorted quickly.
lm I've read all that guff from the other thread. Glad it has calmed down and sorry that you got shot at but the timing couldn't have been better for me. I have long planned to start DS on ff at the start of Nov so that he and my boobs will be ready for my return to work at the start of Dec. I hope to give him BF before and after work but his feeds with the childminder will be F. I think I will use the cartons of ready made stuff if it's going to be such a risky business. As he will only be having a few a day it won't be too costly, I hope. We start tomorrow.
I am just back from a 5 day trip to see various relatives in Eng and Scotland and have had a lovely time. Everyone fed us and I haven't done dishes or laundry since Tue. The skin on my hands is nearly soft again (does anyone else have skin like sandpaper on their hands from all the wasing after nappy changes, bottle washing, etc?). It had taken ages to catch up on the post and tangent post since Tue!
Ds (6 months past on Oct 22nd) has been getting spoon feeds since he was 5 months plus a week. Just stewed fruit or veg, baby rice and expressed BM. It seems to be really slowing down the pooing process. When he was just getting milk he had a dirty nappy perhaps every other day (as opposed to every nappy when he was a newborn). Now he poos every three days or so and the poos (TMI here, sorry) are small and like playdoh (spelling?). Over the last 5 days I cut out the baby rice, thinking that might be responsible for the lack of crap (vulgar, aren't I?). No improvement. This evening, I gave himm cooled boiled water to drink with his carrot and parsnip and I hope that will urge things on. Advice, please. No crank messages from people who don't like my name, nationality or shoe size (I can say that happily in the knowledge that all ladies on this thread are a) nice and b) have excellent senses of humour.
And - no cat here while we were away but there isn't any evidence of a mouse invasion. They obviously haven't heard the cliche. They are rampaging up and down inside the walls and under the floor boards though.
With regards to the nooky question, Tesco will have noticed on our Clubcard records that we have not bought many condoms since we started buying nappies. There you go.
