Just popping in to answer the washing the baby question!
At the hospital i had dd at they don't even bath the babies, they like them to stay as they were born a while so it meant her first bath was at home, she was still covered in gunk til then bless her!
I personally like the baby to smell of baby which to me is johnsons baby bath, just a bit in the water! I used water and cotton wool a while for bum changes, then progress onto newborn wipes.
I bath baby every 2 days and really dry skin on newborns they reccommend olive oil, but do that on a change mat on a towel as it makes baby very slippery!
That is it for bathing tips for newborns!
Any stuff you do get will always keep, my 2 yr old still has baby bath in her bath and no tears shampoo, so it will always get used up!

The kids are back and when it has been a really quiet weekend, and my ds has not taken his medication for his ADHD, (bloody fathers) its way to noisy round here, my girls have gone to bed with a film and as long as my ds stops shouting and calms down a bit they should go off to sleep.
I refuse to get wound up about it and start shouting, I am just glad he is medicated when he is with me, i just don't know how i would cope with him like this all the time, he takes careful treatment and patience as it is.
Anyway going now, will say night to all,
