Summer Peaches... going to be ripe in late July/early August!!

You can get a moses basket 2nd hand for a tenner, or try charity shops and you will be able to find out whether your carry cot is suitable for the baby to sleep in overnight, it will say x

 

[kmbabycrazy]

You can put them straight into the cot. Toby outgrew his moses basket as it was quite small really quickly and his cot was in our room anyway so we just put them in that. I wouldn't feel safe unless that carrycot was actually recommended for overnight sleeping as ventilation and overheating are both linked to SIDS so...

I'm a no panicy sort of mum we only got given our monitor or we wouldn't have one at all. We had a basket for abs she was in it for 3 months then in her room in her cot day naps in the oyster. I got a £10 2nd hand crib for badger need to just a mattress and some bedding etc. it's bigger than a basket and with a toddler i think a bit safer i can see her pulling a basket over

I'm putting the Moses Basket inside a travel cot so toddler can't get to it. She lifts the cats/dogs by the legs and puts stuff in their mouths and likes to feel their teeth and eyes so can't imagine what she'll be like when the baby aka her new plaything comes along!

My LO wouldn't go in a cot for months and months, just too big and scary for her. She wouldn't sleep in the Moses Basket either but thankfully we had the Oyster carrycot and she slept in there. Once she outgrew it I put her in a swinging crib til about 8/9months then finally the cot. From that day onwards her sleep went downhill

Connie was in moses basket untill about 8/10 weeks then went into her cot in our room then moved her cot into her room at 8 months. Now shes decided to stop sleeping Bought new moses basket covers off ebay to recover Connies basket. Just to moan again I'm so ill! Having a PJ day covered in vicks and 4head... anyone got any remedies for a cold? Colds dont get enough credit for how cr@p they make you feel... along with a non sleeping baby lol

awww sorry you feel sooooo rotten!

i found tha calpol 6+ liquid was the only thing that worked to start making me feel better! and plenty rest! i know not possible with kids already!

thanks for all the advice ladies.. I have bought a second hand moses basket off ebay with a stand.. my carry cot was not sutable for overnight sleep. so i scratched that idea. see this is why i ask I am clueless!!

we woke up to big fluffly snowfall this morning and been snowing ever since! madness this weather!!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

We're just drowning in rain here. It's so cold and windy!!! It was so hard walking to work this morning against the wind my hips are in agony. Our road had to be closed last night because there's a building site up the road and all the sheets of metal around it hadn't been secured for the wind and were blowing all over the road. Awful!!

Midwife appointment today and going to hassle my boss about doing my SMP1 as I handed in my notice 3 weeks ago and she still hasn't done it and I can apply soon, and knowing how crap the DWP are I'd rather apply for MA sooner rather than later then I'm at least almost assured I'll get it by the time I actually go on maternity leave x

I was wondering the same about using the Oyster carry cot instead of a moses basket... Just found out in Kiddicare you can't use it as it hasn't got any ventilation. https://community.kiddicare.com/kiddicare/topics/oyster_carry_cot_suitable_as_moses_basket

I also have got a cold at the moment so staying in bed today. This weather is driving me crazy! I've got a pregnancy pillow which I've put between my knees last night. Not sure if it helps but lots of mums said it does. They also advised me to wear Bridget Jones pants to help the pelvic bones.

Your nurseries look lovely by the way! Ours is still our office so not sure when we can start decorating it, probably after we get the cotbed from my OH's grandad this weekend.

By the way, if you want to find me on Facebook, I'm here https://https://www.facebook.com/thelorenacamacho or if you want to join my Facebook page and talk to other mums too, we are here https://www.facebook.com/koolmami x

[misse04]

I'll have a look on there. We need like 2 triple wardrobes if not more! We've got so many clothes between us! Found a few on gumtree but they had already been sold

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I started dreaming and looking at the nursery furniture I want but can't afford...now I'm sad lol. I keep changing my mind as to how I want the nursery (if we can find a house big enough to have one) but I think it's because I don't know what the room it'll be in is like. I go oo I want bright but then what if the room is small, too much colour will make it feel smaller then I think I want that furniture, but what if it doesn't fit.

Grrr. Just want a house now! I'm so tired of feeling stressed about it, and I don't want to be enormous (more so than now) by the time we move. I just want somewhere we can be settled with enough time to make it our home before baby comes. Just feel like screaming!!!!

 

[misse04]

Feel for you, it would drive me mad I have to know what I'm doing and when so to not know would be the worst thing. Hope you find somewhere soon

 

[Mosnippy]

Me two I hope you find somewhere soon to!

But know the perfect house will come at the right time!! Im a believer in everything happens for a reason! Lol mad really

 

[molly85]

No point worrying about nurseries til they go in there lol made that mistake with abs.

Man am I broken! work is ok but my pelvis and bum ahhhhhhhh

 

[misse04]

Ahh I have to have it done before he's here. Will do my head in otherwise.. I'm weird about stuff like that

 

[molly85]

I think I'm just to laid back lol we only have a 2 bed so might have to rethink their decour lI just want to paint the crib lol

Yeah I don't fancy attempting to do up a nursery with a newborn and a 4 year old in the house, I don't think i'll have the time

 

[misse04]

Yeah could be a challenge!

Found the cot bedding I want its just the blue redkite bear set in asda £27.50 for the whole set which seems to be a lot cheaper than anywhere else
