[lupinerainbow]

I know what you mean, TV is rubbish tonight... and yep dexter is asleep, i went in to kiss him goodnight and then i stroked his cheek and said night little man and he smiled at me i don't care if it was wind or a natural reflex, he smiled and it was very cute
Coral- I think it was you who asked so next time you come on, no he isn't swaddled and he is having infacol in every bottle
Hopes- How are you?

xxxxxxx

I never used a swaddle and only reason was cos IM claustrophobic and dont like being restricted, put korben in those little sleeping bags till he was about 6mths then he use to get twisted in it with turning around all the time and getting mad lol. Funny what we dont do/use with our sibling cos of a fear we have isnt it

My elder boys are scared of wasps cos of me, i use to run away and leave their pram or run around it if i got chased cos i hate them Ive inflicted my fear on them lol

 

[lupinerainbow]

Haha! Yes i have noticed things like this, my MIL is scared of dentist so all her children are, she has a phobia of seafood so none of her children will go near it lol its strange how they pick it up even if you try to hide it from them. hope dexter isn't scared of all animals like his parents though, but he shouldn't be being bought up around so many animals. I wouldn't like to swaddle i would be scared of them getting too hot and i read somewhere that babies tell you if they too cold but not if they are too hot. Dexter just has a blanket and mini moses basket blanket thing can't wait till i have my own, so incredibly broody, even more so since dexter came along! OH told SIL not to have any more kids cause i am wrecking his bank balance but he is just as bad haha, we always buying things for dexter. We bought his bouncer as main pressie then everytime we go out we get him something. He has had 2 blankets, 6 set of winnie the pooh babygrows, tigger babygrow, about 6 ornament things with baby boy, a huge teddy bear, a little tortoise teddy, got them 3 balloons a picture set, newborn kit and first tooth and curl set when he was born and something new nearly everyday cause we buying stuff we would get and giving it to him sort of thing as an outlet.. hope we don't have a boy there will be nothing new to get him
Sorry about the ramble

Arhhhh babies are there to be spoilt lol and you can never buy enough babygrows korben went through loads and vests. Korben has a bad habit of kicking his covers off atm and im always waking up to check he's covered back up of a night, but yep i dont like the look of the swaddles, sleeping bag he still kept cool because their arms are free.

Bought korbens first shoes from Clarks other week and when he's got them on he keeps slamming his feet down cos of the noise of them, dont think he's got use to them yet lol but funny watching him in them.

Kids are more expensive first few yrs with all the growing they do, but slow down a little when a toddler x

Thank you all for being so very welcoming. I can already tell you ladies are absolutely wonderful. I think it's lovely that all of you stick together the way you do, pregnant or not, and I hope to get to know everyone.

Morning ding dongs!

Morning MC, LadyB

Loveinbinary, that's wonderful news!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on your little boy echo MC's request for pics, want to see your bubba Yes this thread moves fast, but sometimes its a little quiet. Wouldn't change it for the world though, like you say I feel lucky to have found such a great group of ladies on here, they are the best!

Pretty interesting how what we like, hate, and our phobias get passed on to our kids isn't it? and Lupine, I am amazed that there is someone else with my phobia of seafood!!!!!!!!!!!!! makes me feel less wierd I have always been very aware that I didn't want to pass that on, so we used to keep fish in the house which the kids looked after with my ex. He also cooked/ brought them seafood and I explained how silly and irrational my phobia was. They all love it, so I guess you can be determined not to pass on things. when my ex left and the fish died, I never replaced them, it was a relief to me

Swaddling eh? I swaddled all of mine but my first, and swore by it. My first was incredibly unsettled compared to the others. A midwife showed me how to do it in hospital and I did it ever since. They always slept better swaddled, and if someone else put them down unswaddled they would jerk themselves awake before long. I guess a lot of it is that babies just get used to how you handle them and their surroundings and settle anyway, but I would def recommend it. Like you said Lupine, you have to be very careful you don't overheat them. I always used a light breathable sheet, not a blanket and you include that as the equivalent of 2 sheets as they have two layers over their body wrapped from either side. This time I have brought an actual swaddling sheet, its very thin and a little stretchy and should be perfect.

Anyhow each to their own! just thought I'd put my thoughts into the discussion since it really helped my babies and was something I felt comfortable doing. x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

No I don't watch cricket either, to be honest sport just doesn't do it for me But enjoy!!!!! x

Morning ladies!!

Loveinbinary congrats on the baby so thats 2 boys here and 2 girls so far!! We need pics!

Ladyb hi hunni, nice yo see you glad you are ok sweety! I don't watch cricket either but hope England win of course!

Morning MC and Tink

Regarding swaddling I agree with Tink think it helps settle newborns and stops them from jerking themselves awake! You do need a thin breathable material like Tink said. I love the one she bought and might get one myself I haven't decided yet.

Today I'm taking the kids and my nephews to partyman world as an early celebration for Ryans Birthday. I'm not having an actual party for him, so will go there then take them for Mcdonalds then back here for cake. They are back to school tomorrow
