Mind you, ive just looked on the VIP sale page, and apart from romper suits theres not much going

Vbaby, its only since the last week or so that Bailey has been feeding a bit more sensibly, he got into the habbit of snacking and as you say,taking about 3oz. I think it might have partly been my fault though as i may have mistaken some of the cries for hunger when it was really sleepy time instead,so id make up a bottle but for some reason tiredness cries have become alot more obvious to me now so he's started feeding better. Still not the 180ml the cartons and the HV's say he should be taking, we're still on 150ml(5oZ) and sometimes he has most of it and sometimes he'll have the rest in an hour. But every baby is different and i guess it wo uld be a bit strange if they all fed by the book-the right amounts at the right times etc!

Cat it's your fault! Your Nikon status was the last thing I read before bed and so it infiltrated my subconscious and got warped in there!

Sorry you suffer too vbaby. It's shit!

Neither of my children will sleep, I mean all day too. I am so bloody tired I am at snapping point. 4 hours sleep, a load of jobs done and not a momeny's peace from the kids. Now it's Byron's teatime and Indigo is in full whinge.

peanut,the kids really choose their days to be bold don't they,mine are the same.yesterday i was wrecked and had started my 1st post baby af and the boys never stopped fighting,full on dirty fighting,shay had a bleeding lip and all from oran kicking him in the faceI wasn't able for them at all!!

Madcat its all new to me,my boys were textbook ff babies!!
they were on 6/7oz's every 4hrs of hungry baby formula and sleeping thru.
This madame is only taking about half that,and i just feel like i'm feeding her all day!its tough with 2 others to look after,i really don't have time to sit down for an hr and a half with her every feed time,and she point blank refused the no 2 teats

Sorry you are having a crappy day PB. Hopefully things will get better when your DH gets home.

I saw quite a few t-shirts I like for Noah in the next sale Madcat and a couple of pairs of jeans. Mostly 6-9 months and 9-12 so stuff for the winter months really.

for crap days vbaby and PB

I got my VIP next sale invite yesterday and was `trying` to ignore it but I caved and booked a slot madcat I saw some rompers too and will probably have a look at stuff in a bigger size for Charlie for the coming months Theres never anything for Oliver but I will have a look none the less however must remember though not to buy over board for him because these days he lives in his school uniform and last year I bought oodles of clothes some of which he hardly or didnt get wear of because I forgot he would be spending a large amount of time in his school uniform But its no problem now because I have been putting things in storage boxes for Charlie that Oliver has grown out of All of Olivers clothes are in excellent as new condition and well looked after I pride myself on this but poor Charlie though living in hand me downs I guess it wont matter until hes old enough to realise not sure he will be impressed then

 

[vbaby3]

Oran lives in hand me downs,and birthday/xmas pressies bless him.I've barely bought him anything!

 

[pinkclaire]

Doesn't the next sale start sat?

My OH told me today he doesn't feel like he's bonded with Charlotte like he should. What should I do? I wanted to it's because I'm feeding her he always sorts James out and me Lottie. I need to change it but it's hard with two little ones.

 

[gilz82]

It probably does start Saturday Claire but they send out supposed VIP invites so you can shop early online. Madly I also booked my slot but some of the t-shirts and stuff are only £2 so I'll take advantage if I can.

Claire hon I have no advice I'm sorry all I have is

Pink we are just the same. DH loves Indigo loads but hardly sees her and it shows as when he does it's like a first time, full of surprise. Of course I see Byron loads being home with him but it's almost always fraught. Indigo cries all the time because he disturbs her sleep if I'm not holding her which is impossible so I spend half the time shouting at Byron. DH comes home and spends the whole time with Byron, bath, stories, putting him to sleep. He will only let DH do it most of the time he's so used to it and I am always feeding and settling Indigo at the same time. We're like two separate families most of the time.

God after my last post Byron started falling asleep on the settee so we went upstairs and he woke right up. Indigo screaming. Byron tipped his potty of poo and wee everywhere and had soaked through his trousers. We've been battling over his tea for 40 mins during which time he has soaked a clean pair of trousers. Indigo finally settled in my arms do naturally he keeps screaming and poking to try and wake her. She's just woken now (because I was shouting at Byron not to tip another potty) and given me what i'm pretty sure was her first smile of the day. Says it all really.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Pink I dont know what to say except I guess we are a little like that too DH always comments on how Charlie wont settle for him and hows hes a Mummys boy Once I do the school run and get home about 4pm its madness for me until DH gets in ...showering Oliver ready for school next day, putting washer on, cooking tea and feeding Oliver whilst feeding Charlie DH comes in and generally doesnt have anything to do so he plays with Oliver and then he puts him to bed about 7.15pm (hes always put Oliver to bed for years now, Oliver is a total Daddys boy when DH is around!) and well I mostly take care of Charlie DH does do his share of the feeding, changing etc but I suppose because Charlie has been so unsettled hes got used to me settled him during the day and requests the same on an eve for no other reason than habit May sound mean but men sometimes want it all ways and if your DH was left holding lottie whilst you dealt with James he would feel bad about not spending time with James either I think its all about creating a happy medium Maybe take it in turns each eve to take care of one LO and then switch the following eve persuming your DH is home Or put James to bed together

Gilz I have a 20.00 gift card for Next which is Charlies my sis bought it for him when he was born so thats my excuse for shopping

to everyone....
Sorry I have been MIA had abit of trouble with Jacob I had to take him to the doctors because he would feed 5oz and throw most of it up - like somthing out of a horror film and he would get sicky hiccups 2 hours after a feed and really bad trapped wind.....

I have got to keep an eye on it and if it gets anyworse they will put him on baby gavison but other than that he is fine and is still sleeping through!!

My tatto has finally healed now but needs touching up so I am going to go back next week sometime.

Got my 6 week checks tomorrow but will need a nurse to do a pregnancy test we may have had sex quite a few times with no protection....stupid thing to do I know

But I have been invited out to my best friends hen do! its on 27th August in Liverpool on a fun bus! and we have to dress up in burlesque! I will be going but not staying over and DH is going to have him and when I get back I will sleep in the nursery!

Well better run Jacob is getting hungry!

 

[madcatwoman]

Ah i see peanut!. well , i had a Sony DSLR, but after a while all i wanted was a Nikon lol!, when i was doing the weddings i wondered if people took me seriously with a sony!!

 

[pinkclaire]

Thanks ladies you've made me feel better. I was thinking it'll be better when she's older and he can play with her more? I am just worried as he's away in the week for 4 months from Monday and was worried it would get worse?

She's so unsettled the last few days though! I'm hoping it's just a growth spurt.

Morning all

Well, we would have all slept thru, but last night Bailey decided he woulkd try and turn himself over in the basket, but in doing so he is only ever successful in trying to suffocate himself, i tried to keep him still, he wouldnt have it.This was at 1am, at 1.30 i gave up and decided if he had milk in his belly he might go to sleep afterwards, so i fed him and for the 1st time straped him up in his sleeping bag , then he went to sleep. I just hope in doing this i havent broken the "sleeping through"spell
He does this alot, trying to turn over(&gets all worked up), he cant do the final transition on his own from side to belly though, in the daytime we help him and he loves "trying" to crawl, lifts his head up so high as well,its just a bugger when he decides to do it at night!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Rough night for us last night. Alex wouldn't settle for anything. I lost it at one point and broke down crying my eyes out .

nomore. Sorry about your granddad xx.

We're off to the cardiologist today. We'll see if we still have to go every month or if we'll get a bit of a break

 

[madcatwoman]

Oh nosounds like a bad night!, good luck at the hospital mind!

Heres my little sausage that just wants to 'go places'

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Alex would love to break away and crawl on his own. He's constantly moving about and kicking his legs on the playmat. I'm proud but at the same time, wanting him to slow down a bit so he doesn't grow up so fast

i cant stop Bailey trying to roll himself over, so in the day, we can either watching himself get stressed over it or give him a helping hand!

I'm honestly surprised at how fast Alex started lifting his head for a few seconds during tummy time. DH was really chuffed when he did He kept calling Alex a smart little boy and saying "That's my little man"
