Cath i love the first one ...and the last one nice to ...

The 2nd ones ok ...TBH i wouldn't buy the 3rd myself ...its what team yellow people have to get

Are you planning on using the cot bumpers then?

[Jkelmum]

Cath loads of lovely nursery stuff

Jue when do u go away ?

Carol hope lo gets better fast without passin it onto you xxx

 

[mrsholmes]

that set is lovely Carol

think the first is my fav as well! so think ill go for that!

Undecided on cot bumpers?!! what does u think Jue?! my mother thinks U HAVE TO have them!? but I have read they trap hot air in?

 

[Jkelmum]

Cot bumpers are not advised for under 12 months

 

[ClaireyF]

Cath, i have got cot bumpers...i would have thought if they are unsafe then baby shops wouldnt sell them, maybe i'm being a bit naive there though ...x

 

[mrsholmes]

dont know what to do?! I only really want them for decoration

 

[Cariad_bach]

Cath, i have got cot bumpers...i would have thought if they are unsafe then baby shops wouldn't sell them, maybe i'm being a bit naive there though ...x

The problem is the same with Quilts to ...you not ment to have or use them but they still sell them
Its because some people say theres a risk ...but there isnt a proven risk.
One shop (might have been mothercare) stated that they continued to sell them for older babies (5 months etc) but not to old or babies can use them to help them climb out of the cot


If your putting your LO at the bottom end of the cot so he/she cant snuggle under the covers then a bumper round the tops ok.

If your using a sleeping bag and putting baby at the top of a cot then a bumper is supposed to trap hot air in and if baby rolls and gets stuck at the side of the cot (which happens alot with wriggley babies ...one of mine was forever doing it) then they can possible suffocate on the bumper

I dont use them until baby is about 4 month when they can move more by themselves and get away from it if they need to.



They may bang them selves on the side of the cot but its better than them suffocating ...



...having said that i DO sleep with my LO's with me in my bed and always have done ....again theres mixed feelings as to weather thats safe or not ... i know alot of people that wouldn't dream of doing it.
I tend to fall asleep whilst breast feeding!

Its all down to personal opinion really

Alot of people use them without any problems what so ever




Serina happy packing hun ... its good that its down a bit

Were not off till saturday morning (crack of dawn) but will be back Sunday night ..


...im dreading the packing for our summer holl ....Me OH out 3 kids, our stepson and a baby (jamie will be about 6 weeks when we go)
Its on a Haven park for a week ...were going to have to take sooo much stuff its unreal!!!

 

[ClaireyF]

Gosh Jue its going to be a big summer holiday this year!! where abouts do you go? xx

 

[mrsholmes]

summer holiday sounds fab! I dont think we will be going anywhere maybe a couple of days out round by me as theres pently of places to go.........a big different from magaluf and foam parties

Btw we went to a haven park 2 years ago on the sun holidays in June time that was well cheap!

thanks Jue, I dont think Ill bother they are expensive anything! I will probably end up co-sleeping as it will be easier with BF does your OH sleep in bed as well?

 

[ClaireyF]

we are due to go away on holiday in Wales 4th July...thats only 4weeks after Josh is born! eek! xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

Gosh Jue its going to be a big summer holiday this year!! where abouts do you go? xx

Because we have to take so many kids etc we dont go far from home....just down to Haven Y Mor near Porthmadog, its only a hour and a half so if we forget something i can send OH back for it
We'Ve been to other parks (like Mapplethorpe etc) but Haven Y mors really good compared with most.



Cath we collected those token things but because their so many of us and it was £9.99 each plus park fee's it would have cost a fortune
Oooh i remember the days of going abroad and foam parties, seems like a lifetime ago

Oh doesn't sleep in the bed to because he works shifts and is away at night ... i suppose its one of the reasons i do it,
With my first 2 he did (before shift work lol) but they were winter babies so i wasn't worried about them getting to hot ... we only have a little bed tho!

Ive just found that most of ethan,s going away tops i bought are in wash as hubby as been dressin him while ive been at work so need to wash b4 i pack we dont have anywhere near the amount of money we had hoped due to bills and here is me gettin all stressed knowin my BP wont go down on its own


Ok its safe to come out rant over

 

[ClaireyF]

Oh god serina...sounds like full flown pregnancy hormones hun!!

Jue we go to Tudweiliog near Nefyn so not that far from Portmadog i love going there for a day whilst on holiday. x

 

[mrsholmes]

men just dont think do they men dont think the same as us I have to spell it out to my Oh

 

[Cariad_bach]

Oooh Serina i feel for you .. Id never let OH dress my lot tho .. id have to get stuff out ready the night before because he put there best stuff on for playing out in etc
Hope your calmer now hun xxx

 

[Baci]

Serina. Sounds like you're going to need a holiday after this one!

I haven't even thought about a summer holiday yet. I think we might do something in September. I suspect it will be somewhere like Centerparcs or Butlins (preferably somewhere with lots for Violet to do!).

I had a cot bumper, but Violet never slept in her cot until she was older anyway (we also co-slept). I dont think I started using a quilt until she was over a year old.

 

[mrsholmes]

just ordered all my stuff..............gone a bit mad! never mind did it in a couple of orders as I had a few prom codes which was save £15 when u spend over £20 so take off the delivery its really £11 but thats still good!
