Mother of all conception months Graduates

[tas1]

Yey for good nights glad all these babies are settling down more!

Vbaby I would totally be crying at cadens graduation if he has one but first I have to get over the first day of pre school where I'll be a wreck luckily my OH is having that day off so be can drag me away lol! I'm getting teary thinking about it,they grow up so fast it's like you have blinked and he's a little boy not a baby!

Molly that is strange the HV did that they normally tell you off for stuff she obviously realised Abby likes it! And I bought stage 1 and four cartons of stage 2 and got 12 points! Think after this stage 1 I'm gonna go onto stage 2 coz caleb keeps sucking on his hands and I'm sure that's a sign for weaning ?!? How many points do you need for a de my decent Christmas presents?!?

Not long til my big baby boy is home (he let's me say that coz it's got big boy in it) so looking forward to it!!

Xx

sucking on hands a sign of weaning? is it?, Bailey does this, i thought it was just a sign of "give me milk now!"

 

[vbaby3]

Madcat,Teagan was 11lb 4oz last wk so I'd say bailey is a little bigger now.
She sucks on her fingers too and I take it she wants a bottle too!

Well shay has graduated pre school!!!Got his wee cert and all,bless him.They did a few lovely songs for all the mummy and daddies too lol!

I'm very proud of my mummy skills today!
After school I went into town to get my shopping,with all 3 kiddies(obviously!)
Went to Aldi first,then took them to mc donalds for a treat,sorted the boys with 1 hand and ate my own chippies while feeding teagan on my knee with my other hand.And then went to tesco for the rest of the groceries.All children happy and well behaved,and had at least a dozen old ladies cooing at teagans hair lol!
I must post up a recent pic,it actually sits down at the front like a swept over fringe and the back still stands up,it looks like a proper doo!a bit like her nanny brennans actually lol!

 

[madcatwoman]

get a pic up vbaby!

Baileys hair has started to regrow on top thankgod, but obviously his sides&back are longer(we thought he was going to look like benjimin button!)

ah teagans weight is good too for a little girl. Im going to keep an eye on bailey, ive moved his basket to my side of the bed(instead of DHs for tonight...even although i have less room on my side).

 

[vbaby3]

Tas glad your wee man is coming home soon,I do love a break but you do feel like a bit of you is missing if they're away for too long!

Hopefully I'll get into town tomorrow on my own,have the celtic dinner dance thing on next saturday and I have nothing to wear,talk about cutting it fine.
I think I was hoping I'd be all lovely and skinny by now lol,but I'm not so will just try find something half decent that I'm comfy in.Its quite a dressy affair,the men wear suits and stuff,but I might just go for a maxi dress maybe and wear my hair up to dress it up a bit more.I also have to start getting bits for shays uniform,all the mammies have advised to do it now as it could be hard to get bits in his size come august.He's gonna be soooo cute in his wee uniform

 

[molly85]

it's a comfort thing instead of a dummy. abbyis a sucker and a dribbler you can imagine my panic but no red gums or white pointy bits. Weaning is from 16 weeks i think the stage 2 stuff has a different ingredient content

 

[vbaby3]

Its just coz she was 9lb 1 to start with madcat,but I agree just coz she was heavy to start with doesn't mean she has to stay heavy lol,she's a lil lady after all!

Wonder does it mean her hair isn't gonna fall out now if it hasn't already?We're well on track for full pig tails for her 3 month birthday!!its hilarious!

Sucking on hands is hunger. One of the rooting signs. Signs for weaning are being able to sit up and able to hold things in their hands. Often they start waking in the night again/more from hunger too.

We're having a lovely time. Off to the Treehouse. Home tomorrow.

 

[molly85]

abby has a reasonable head of hair no where near teagans amount though, when does it fall out?

 

[molly85]

tree house? pb you must send me your intinery when you get back. matt needs a visit up there.

Hi Ladies :wave:

Well me and Charlie went to Tescos and I STILL have a settled baby Hes been sat in his britax all smiles and cooing watching the world go by whilst with have been out and its been so lovely I `think` hes upped his feeds too because I fed him in the Tesco cafe at 2pm and when I got home at 3.30pm he cried for food stuffing his hands in his mouth and rooting He has had 13oz since his 4.40am bottle this morning which is progress in just over 12hrs because he `was` taking about that in 24hrs a one point

Molly & Tas there was a thread in formula feeding about points (from boots,tesco and superdrug!) on first baby milks because by law companies are not allowed to promote it (offer points or put it on sale!) it seems now though that people have realised they have been getting points when buying first milks according to their till reciepts its unknown if there has been a change in the rule though cause no one can find information on it but one lady attempted to buy milk through boots online at it showed how many points she had earned (she posted a screen dump!)

and another bizare thing I noticed whilst buying nappies in Tesco maybe am the only person not to have noticed this already but I thought I would mention it anyway Pampers size 3 nappies go up to 15lb where as Huggies size 3 nappies go up to 20lb I find this highly bizare I like Pampers stretchy waistband but I think I may well be a Huggies convert because they are def a whole lot more generous in size although I cannot work out whys there a HUGE 5lb difference

 

[madcatwoman]

I really hate huggies madly, i think theyre all cut wrong, theyre just the wrong shape and dig in, but the pampers are the right shape and fit perfectly!. Thing is, we bulk bought the huggies and have shit loads of them,bloody things, i want to go back to pampers!

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

pampers mummy here! although really really hoping to get the ball rolling on potty training in the next week, we are going to mablethorpe for 2 days next week (leo isgoing to have his first go on the 2p slot machines lol), when we get back that will be it! potty training time! i have no idea where to start but have a week to get some advice ala google lol he is physically ready just very lazy, if he could get away with me spoon feeding him still he would! 2.5 years old! lol

feeling really blah today, not well at all but humpf. . . . even half a chocolate cake hasnt shifted my mood

 

[pinkclaire]

Molly also eating oats will help as well, get on the porridge lol. Plus drink lots of water! I know it's a hard time, and I completely understand your worries. Make sure everytime you feed you drink at least a pint of water.

I'll reply to everyone else in a bit just off to get my sister from the train station.

Evening Ladies,

Thank you all for your advice on the colic.

Madly - Glad to hear Charlie is settled today!

As far as I was aware sucking on hands is a sign of hunger?

I don't use huggies or pampers - Jacob used to pee out the side of huggies so I tried pampers and they gave him a nasty nappy rash so I use Asda's little angel's nappies and they are great.

Had an okay night last night but I have now a horrible cold and I felt horrible last night so DH did the night feeds and I was woken up at 11am with breakfast in bed

Not used the infacol today as I have managed to get wind up from him. When I use the infocol I can feel his stomach bubbling but when I don't use it his stomach is fine?? I am wondering if it is just me winding him wrong

But then again other people have winded him and not managed to get any wind up from him?? what a palava!

I think I will just see how we go without the infacol and see what the result is at the end....

We went to Tesco the other day aswell and bought loads of Johnson's baby wipes (£1 each! ) and a little play mat from 0+ for £8 reduced from £12! which Jacob loves!

My mum is up this weekend aswell so tomorrow I am hoping to get some housework done and some washing and mop his nursery floor

Anyway time for a brew whilst Nana has my wee man!

 

[tas1]

Well my caden is back and he doesn't seem bothered about us at all lol he's had a brill time seen loads of animals and monkeys were drinking from my dads water jets which they thought was funny.

Yay for Charlie being happy today,I hope it's end the of tummy pains for him! And glad he's upping his feeds!!

Kate I thought it would be hard to potty train caden but I tried and tried and he didn't get it so one day I said about his pre school then said you can't go in a nappy so he said ok let's get pants then so since then he's been in pants in the day still working on the night time but not forcing him

Xx

 

[molly85]

i have them all sussed huggies you have to make sure the frilly bit is all stuck out.
pampers lining has hge holes which trap the skin looking like nappy rash but the skin pops back after a bath any maybea tiny rash. Tesco are my faves i'm not as keen on little angels and will be trying lidl if they do a size 1 though abby can tecniqually wear a size 2 i don't think she has the waste for it yet.

Claire i have the quanity just not the quality, its not thick enough to keep her full. today is the first morning all week without museli i just got more. as she is easily taking 4oz on top of polishing off both boobs we were switching hopefully to cow and gate soam trying her on the thicker stuff so my boobscan get full enough to give her enough and we both sleep well over night. any who if i have a happy baby and i can sleep thats good enough for me

 

[madcatwoman]

molly i just seen your ticker..."6months until we start ttc no2"...OMG! i couldnt even contemplate it! lol

Morning all

 

[tas1]

Morning all

Hope you had a good nights sleep and babies are settled!

Well I have finally come on last night and oh my word my period pains hurt like mild contractions! Abit gutted that I have come on over the weekend as I suppose to ring docs about my coil on first day of my period so I'm hoping I'm still on on Monday so I can get it sorted!

Are you not wanting anymore cat? Xx

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Morning! Great night last night *touch wood* Alex slept!!!!!!!! No one ended up on the couch. We did our first bath last night and he howled his head off the entire time, lol! Taking it very easy this weekend as I had a lecture from the midwife about going out too much No visitors today, just me, DH, and wee man. Might try a short walk later, as the weather is good.

I've been very weepy. Yesterday I just started sobbing my head off. Got lots of cuddles from DH who reassured me that I'm a great mommy and everything will even out soon What a great guy!
