Mother of all conception months Graduates

I think you can buy it from anywhere! It's for sensitive skin so it's ok for babies,I've used it on both my babies and they have been fine and now caden has good skin which I'm hoping he carries on a good skin care regime when he's older!

Xx
 
I'm wondering Alexs skin is peeling around his ankles and wrists. Is that normal?
 
Lol get use to it coz you always worry! Have you tried oilatum as well? It's like an oil to go in the bath?!? Calebs skin was dry so I used that and it was normal x
 
We put cream on him after his bath. I'm gonna start putting some on in the morning too. It's Johnsons lotion. We have baby oil too if that's similar. :shrug:
 
Afternoon ladies :flower:

meant to say lol Molly at wapping out (.) whilst shopping!

Fingers crossed that that our poor suffering mites Charlie and Noah are on the mend.

Ozzie Dylan was born with peeling hands and feet. Used Oilatum in the bath and E45 and they were quickly sorted. Still use them now and he has lovely skin.

He is currently playing in his rainforest, he is so good during the day. But he wont sleep in his basket at night! Last night gave up trying - night 3 and just passed out as so tired. He is such a wonderfully placid baby and sleeps in his basket during the day but at night it becomes a bed of nails :wacko:

Afm been to Ikea today on a little jaunt for a 98p brekkie and a wander. Got some more bargins:thumbup:
 
Indigo did a fully body peel about a week maybe after birth. I've been using botanics baby oil as it's lovely and all natural oils instead on petroleum based. You cam ge aqueous cream from boots for quite cheap (cheaper than e45) but i'd just talk to your hv and get a prescription instead of forking out for it. We got epaderm which is a super thick cream almost like Vaseline and doublebase which is more like aqueous cream.

We're heading back from the zoo. Right now! DH is driving. It's been a lovely day and as it was the launch of their new animatronic dinosaur display they were taking photos of everyone as they came in. I don't think we have a single whole family pic and it wasn't hideous so we paid the £17 (!!!!!) for it. It was a nice pack though. Two big and three small pics (we're superimposed against animals and dinosaurs :rofl:), a fridge magnet and a keyring. It's been a good day but I'm knackered!
 
HI all!
Well I've been modemless for the last few days thanks to dh:wacko:
Finally just catching up.
Madly,really hope the gaviscon works for charlie,it seemed to work for teagan,but consti[ated her so badly it was a case of deciding which was worse:wacko:
Hope its the answer for charlie though!
The night before last teagan went from 9.30pm to 6.45am:happydance:a once off but nice to know she can do it:happydance:

madcat guidelines on weaning over here are 4months for ff babies and 6 months for bf babies.
I started my boys fron 16/17wks,very gradually starting with a little baby rice in the morning.They were well ready for it,bottles didn't seem to satisfy them anymore,they were waking again in the night.You'll know when bailey is ready.I don't think i know anyone who waited til 6 months.

Teagan is so different.I'm actually wondering about her,not worrying as such,coz she looks healthy etc,but she's on 6 bottles of 4oz's and never finishes them.She's probably on 18-20oz's,around about the same as she was on when she was a week old:wacko:

I had so much else to catch up on i can't remember anything else,so lots of love to everyone.:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:

I have my big night out tomorrow,teagan will be havin her 1st sleepover at my mams:happydance:It might sound awful,but I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Love my kiddies to pieces,but a break is well in order!!!
Off now to bath teagan,dh has the boys in the bath,and get my stuff organised for tomorrow.
Enjoy your weekends!xxxx
 
meant to say i used emulave and then e45 all over my babies,i even put it on their heads if i see dry skin lol!we've never had cradle cap!
 
Bailey did almost a full body peel too, his hands,wrists,legs, feet, i used johnsons baby oil on him & lots of massages!!:baby::haha:

Thanks for the tip about the cream for his dry face! and the weening information Vbaby.

Peanut your day at the zoo sounds nice, you had a good day for it!!:thumbup:. Id like to go to chester zoo again sometime(is this where you went?)
 
Am assuming you went to Chester Zoo PB, I saw the dinosaur exhibition advertised but didnt think it was starting til July. OOhh will have to go yay:happydance:
 
aw i cant believe how big all the babies seem to be getting! cant believe we are talking about weaning already!

my 2 cents is that you will know when baby is ready, i was made to feel bad by a hv for planning on trying leo at anytime after 4 months so waited until almost 5 months but honestly for 2-3 weeks before that he was actually waking for his dream feed which he never did before and was waking earlier so thought screw it! at the end of the day it is only a little bit of baby rice it is possibly the worlds most bland and uninteresting food in the world lol but they love it lol

i would say look for the general signs after 4 months and go with your instinct i knew nothing about babies when i had leo and have to say 95% of what i did was just me using common sense and instinct!

wasp situation is slightly better today, only killed 4 so far and its coming to the end of the day . . . rentokil never turned up though really hoping not to have to wait until monday for them to get here otherwise i will be way too tempted to go out there at midnight with a b&q powder!
 
ha ha loopy what are you like! to be honest i only know it is july because I AM HAVING MY BABY NEXT MONTH!!!! lol lol lol otherwise it would have passed me by too lol
 
Evening Ladies :wave:

Charlie did a full body peel a week or two after birth as well and it was really bad :( dry skin everywhere :dohh: I tried a few things inc baby oil in the bath but the best thing I found was the new johnson natural range ... I bought the moisturising cream and its brill its a big bottle and you only need a tiny bit and it soaks in well and it doesnt leave a greasy after feel which I absolutely hate :dohh: However he now too has dry skin in his head (not cradle cap though!) so I need to get something for it :thumbup: infact might try the johnson natural seen as it worked everywhere else :rofl:

:happydance: for another good night Ozzie :)

Sounds like a fun day out Peanut :)

Loopy you just gotta love a bargain :winkwink:

vbaby have a fantastic night out :wohoo:
As for pooing and gaviscon we were only getting a dirty nappy every 2-3 days :wacko: but in the last two days we have had three dirty nappies :happydance: am going to keep an eye on it though :thumbup: and well done Teagan what a fab night :winkwink:

We always go to knowsley safari park we just love it :lol:

madcat this is mainly for you but am sure some of the other mummies and mummies to be might like an insight into what grandparents think is ok (am sure some of you have already experienced something similar!)..........

So on Wednesday I popped to my MILs before collecting Oliver from school to collect his overnight stuff cause he stayed overnight at hers on Tuesday because DH has been working away this week :( She commented that he`d been really cheeky to her that morning before school and that he`d refused to do anything he was asked to do (hes started cheeking back really bad!) so I asked her to tell me what :thumbup: She said he refused to get dressed so she had to practically dress him and that he also refused to have any cereal ..... I assumed then that he had had no breakfast so I said `I take it he didnt have breakfast in the end then? to which she replied `no he had breakfast .... well I couldnt send him to school on an empty stomach so I gave him ICE-CREAM & WAFERS :saywhat: To which I absolutely gobsmacked said `seriously?` she said `yes I didnt realise until afterwards that HES NOT ALLOWED ICE-CREAM FOR BREAKFAST because on the way to school he told me hes not allowed! :growlmad: :hissy: :trouble: I cannot believe that fecking woman honestly who in there right mind gives a child ice-cream for breakfast and then claims they didnt realise it wasnt fecking allowed :hissy: need less to say hes not staying overnight again if I can avoid it!
 
:shrug::shrug::dohh:OMG Madly!, Icecream for breakfast??...its almost so wrong its funny:haha:. Good grief. the thing is Oliver could start expecting it from you!, and start playing up when you refuse!. Good god the bloody stupid woman!:shrug::dohh::growlmad::nope:
 
madcat I was totally baffled by her `I didnt realise it wasnt allowed!` comment :loopy: shes always throwing it in my face she knows best she brought three boys up blah blah blah well you would have thought she would have had more sense :thumbup: tbh its made me more weary of leaving Charlie with her for any length of time and I told DH this upfront absolutely no way over my dead body :nope: can you imagine when we start weaning Charlie :( it doesnt really bare thinking about :nope: DH hasnt said anything to her though he said he would but I just know he wont :hissy: Oliver at hers for tea on Wednesday cause my Mum has her hospital review and hes there again on Thursday cause Charlie has his jabs at 2pm which clashes with school run but hes grounded (long story he was well naughty yesterday!) so shes been warning absolutely no treats ... fruit, plain yogurts but no choc, desserts, ice-cream etc
 
honestly madly i really really do not understand people!

one of my friends had another of hers look after her year old for the night, this person took photographs of her friends baby aboslutely covered in chocolate cake and the caption was "i love going round aunty x's she gives me all the things mummy says i will never be allowed to have - dont worry honey i wont tell he he he" or something along those lines i would have gone absolutely freaking balistic! dont know what happened after that but my goodness i would have ripped her a new one!

i really really do not know why people think it is funny to do things like that or think its ok do fill a belly up on sugar! he might as well have gone to school with an empty belly as ice cream is hardly filling and the sugar crash afterwards! i would have been upset to send my child in without breakfast but at the end of the day i would have been even more upset to send them off with ice cream in their belly!
