Jess - you will have them queuing!!!! just make sure you do a very good select process :)
I truly believe that you will be very happy in the future... I wish i could say the same for Joe, but i think he will never be truly happy and will prob run from one relationship to the next like his dad... but that is not for you to worry.. it's unfair already that you have had to suffer this in the first place because he has commitment issues...
You'll get yourself a great bloke I have no doubt! Milk the attention as much as you can! make sure you get spoilt!

Lou- i wish there was a solution... what if you stopped slowly breastfeeding him, would he take milk from as sippy cup? (i have no idea what i am talking about)... but maybe if you didn't have that attachment, you could have time for yourself...
How about during the day, when he is having other food? could you not go out to get pampered? :hugs:
 
Yeah I've read that before Suz. It was posted in the BF section on here. It was written by a woman too!! :shock: She sounds like those Westboro Church people! They say the same thing. Have you ever seen them on TV? Louis Theroux did an exposure thing with then once.

Click to expand...

He will sip water out of a sippy cup V but can't take a milk feed out of one. He still feeds every two hours in the day and about every 3 hours at night! :shock:
 
Lou does he ask for the day time feeds? If we're busy Sammuel can happily go all day with no BF.

Eta you answered above! :(

Yeh I thought it sounds like those people too! They are crazy and vile and just awful. That Louis programme was shocking...

X x x
 
wow! is that normal? i mean is he supposed to be so hungry all the time?
 
not saying that in a rude way, just wonder if it could be linked to his insomnia... the fact that he is hungry so quickly, like all his "cycles" are shorten or something
 
Nothing about ben is normal :haha: but he's gorgeous enough to get away with it!!

Eta Lou am I allowed to say that?! Don't want to offend you saying Ben isnt normal! :D

X x x
 
I know he isn't normal Suz!! :haha:

V- he doesn't take completely full feeds each time that's the problem. He bits and bobs- he's always been a very, very lazy feeder! My GP says he's the most high maintenance and high needs baby he's ever met!! :shock: He still blames most of it of him being so distressed in Neonatal (he never slept in neonatal and was basically left to cry for hours in the incubator :-( )
 
awww :hugs: i didn't know he had to be in neonatal... poor mite... hopefully soon you will be able to reason with him x
 
I wanna look at baby's stuff in France, to compare the prices with here but also to see if they have different stuff.
Any advice on cots and prams?
We are thinking full tires for prams as even if they are a bit bumpier, we will be taking the pram to the park and i can't get stranded with a flat tire, 2 dogs and a baby.
Also we wanted pram with a proper basinet so we can use it as a moses basket in our bedroom or for the baby to sleep while i do stuff downstairs.
Did you girls have travel systems with the whole clip system for the car? is it really useful?
Also you mentioned cots with drop side or not? I wanted to choose a cot bed so if the baby is not sleeping much in it as a cot at least it will be useful as a bed :haha:
 
V we went with a standard cotbed with drop side. Sammuel never sleeps in it but will one day and it's nice and does the job!

We went for a full 'travel system' with car seat that goes onto the wheels, this was really useful. We also had the pram which was useful and just as good if not better than a Moses. Again we didn't really use it for that, but the pram but was good for going for lunch or whatever and he would just lie asleep in it. Limited life obviously but if you buy instead of a Moses it's not a waste of money!
We've also got the pushchair bit which he fits now.

Honestly though we never use the pushchair, my mum bought it and I feel so guilty she spent so much! Although I'm sure with no 2 we'll use it more!

As you're active people and with dogs a carrier might be really good for you as well, I know my friends with dogs find it much much easier for walks than a pram/pushchair. We use ours all the time, for walks, shopping, back and forth to the swimming pool (which is about 1/2 a mile from the car park!) and it's great for BF in public as you can just drop him down and feed discretely...

thanks :)
we saw a system from uppababy that is a bit similar to bugaboo but cheaper and with anti burst tires and loads of little features i like. we will have to try and see one in real and see if it fits in the new car :) it has a really good pram bit which has a proper mattress in it and they say it can be used a a bed over night in the beginning.
A carrier is definitely a good idea, how early can you use them?
Any of you played music to your bump? I looked at those earlier and quite keen on the idea for later on:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bellybuds-...-Prenatal-Voices/dp/B002OCBB1O/ref=pd_cp_by_1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294

the second one seems a bit too good to be true, but never too early to be a pushy parent :haha:
 
I don't get on with carriers as well as Suz and do like using the pushchair more BUT she is right that it's the only way to walk dogs! I can't walk the dogs with the buggy at all! It's impossible! Ben's not a big fan of the sling but will accept it for a quick dog walk!

The base units you click your car seat onto and the adapters to click it onto your travel system are invaluable!! :thumbup:
 
Hey V - I had the belly buds, never really used them, lol.. but my guy didn't respond to them at all so thats why I never did.
You might want to look at my stroller, its the Mutsy 4 Rider Lite... foam tires so you don't get flats, forward or parent-facing kid seat, it collapses with the seat on when its forward facing (bugaboo does not). The front wheels lock for jogging if you do that, the wheels pop off very easily for more trunk space. Realy we LOVE ours. I just didn't get the bassinet attachment, we got a converter attachment for our Peg Perego car seat instead. The basket is not big though. There is an extra basket you can get when forward-facing, I haven't tried that yet. There is also no parent tray which was not a big deal to me.

I LOVE baby-wearing though... I can't push a shopping cart around the store with a stroller too so I wear him for my shopping trips. Love my Beco Butterfly carrier. My mom got me a slingified wrap for Xmas.. but I'm not allowed to open it until then so you'll have to wait for my review on that :haha:

Hey girls, been reading a bit, not much time to catch up.. off to meet friends at the nativity scene at the mission, supposedly they have live animals :)
:hugs: Jess
 
Thanks only just googled that butterfly one and realised it is ok from new born! Definetely getting a carrier on my list. Can't wait to start shopping. Prob around 25 weeks I think I will really start buying stuff :) just looking at loads of catalogues and going into shops at the mo :)
 
I love my Butterfly, but keep in mind it doesn't forward-face. If you want one that does (there is some research that recommends not forward-facing, just an FYI).. the Gemini forward-faces. I find the Butterfly easier to put on than the Gemini .. watch videos of how to put on any carriers you are interested so you can see what its like.
 
The carrier is definitely something you should buy online, high street carriers are sh*t in comparison! The butterfly Beco, rose and rebellion (which I have) are both great pretty carriers. The R&R reverses to black for the boys, although Danny just wears the pattern side. Butterfly may do that too!
Others to look at are the ergo, mancuda, and I'm sure theres a couple more... You can always go to a sling meet if you want to see one in the flesh though.
I def wouldn't recommend facing out, it's not a comfortable position for you or baby and they can't turn away if over stimulated.

Same with the buggy, I'd definitely go for one where you can have the buggy facing in or out. I read a big study that was done (can post it for you if you like, will have to find it) that basically said the babies were happier facing the parent and also the parent interacted with the baby whereas facing out they didn't at all. Again, they can turn to you for reassurance if they're facing out.

We didn't get the isofix thing for the car, have always managed fine without and basically we couldn't afford it! So can't really comment on that...

Think that's it! The travel system we've got is a maxi cosi mara 3 or something. It does have pump up tyres but we wanted that...
