How is s

 

[Samie18]

Amazingly shes just normal. I just keep getting a horrible sick feeling every time i go up the stairs and can just visualise them falling and the horrible helpless feeling. It such a horrible sound and all i remember saying was oh my god and running it really is horrible knowing if you had just spent 2 seconds more paying attention it wouldn't have happened. I'm so on it with the stairs because i've dreaded her ever falling down the stairs so i never leave her. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE you just think the worst and when i saw her lying scrunched at the bottom of the stairs....well i can't even express the feelings =o(

 

[Sinn]

Have any of you ladies got any recommendations for a Moses basket? I bought a lovely one with a great stand but it was recalled so it had to go back. I kept the stand as its really sturdy and fits most size baskets. I would like one with padded sides and I'm going to put a new mattress in so that's not so important that its thick etc.

 

[Samie18]

i got a clair de lune rocking moses basket and honestly she slept in it for about 4 hours max in her life time she hated it! Probably just my baby but not sure if its because she couldn't see out so we bought a little crib and she still didn't sleep in that for months lol

 

[annanouska]

Glad she is ok samie. It is a worry, several yrs bk I fell down ours here and got a spiral fracture to leg! I wasn't even rushing just missed a step?

Sinn personally don't like Moses baskets and never used one. If lo is big baby u can't use for long. We got a wooden crib used from day 1,til 6 months. We were lucky he was a good baby and slept great but he's making up now I think he will be a hard toddler x

How ru feeling Betty? Mar us had night terrors ydaytoo poor things

 

[AmeliaLily]

Samie that must have been sooooo scary!! Glad she's ok, I think they bounce back a lot quicker than we think x

Anna don't be so hard on yourself! Marcus is just fine and all babies/toddlers have their moments so no one will judge you x

Betty hope you're recovering now.

Sinn I got the £25 Moses basket from Asda and a stand from a car boot sale. It did the job just fine. He was in it til about 4 months, if a bit squashed x

 

[AmeliaLily]

Oh and I wouldn't worry about padded sides, as babies don't move! X

 

[Diddums]

I've gone for a swinging crib as they're easy to swing and slightly bigger than moses baskets so should last longer xxx

 

[betty14]

Sinn I was given a Moses basket and Daisy never slept in there! I put her in it but she would just cry! We also had a swinging crib and it was a life saver! She stayed in there till she went in her big cot!

Anna and Amelia I am doing well thanks!! Feeling much healthier now and just glad to not get anymore pain and infection!

Daisy is walking unaided more and more indoors now! Don't think it'll be long before she ditches the crawling altogether! She still prefers crawling to get places fast tho haha!

Xxx

 

[Sinn]

Thanks for the advice ladies! We will have a big cot for her but I wanted a moses for downstairs and for the first few months upstairs. First day back at work for me for 5 and a half weeks and I'm shattered! 39 working days until I finish x

 

[Diddums]

At how many weeks are you going on maternity leave Sinn?

Ladies do we fill in the birth plan part of our blue book ourselves or do we do that at midwife appointments? When are we supposed to fill them in by?

Thanks xx

 

[Sinn]

I finish at 36+5 but leave starts at 38+1 because of half term. I just hope I get that far!

I think the birth plan part is filled in with the midwife? I am going to write some notes down and staple them to the front of the book.

 

[betty14]

My midwife said to write bits in in pencil and then we went over it together!

Sinn I had our Moses downstairs too!! Must be hard having had 5.5 weeks off to go back! Especially when your at the point of getting tired again!

Xxx

 

[annanouska]

walking daisy!!

Marcus has been walking with push along toys if anyone's watched a "slow" developer u can get how ridiculously exciting it was! Like everything he does it when he wants but in these 3 weeks he's gone from physically not being able to put his feet on floor to walking along with toys

It's taken me a long time to accept he is a bit different, he does things in a different way and plays in different ways etc and rather than trying to make him fit to the norm I'm now working out how we can adjust things for him. Since I've been doing this things have been better. I've been super nannying at bed when he's trying to climb out his cot....seriously?! He hates being shown how to do things and needs to do them himself. Even down to the slide, I can't sit him at the top and help him down. He needs to reverse himself to the top then pushes himself feet first on belly I'm designing activities to try abd help him learn but for him to do it himself.

When I was small I got a toy push a long dog from Harrods its like a walker type thing. I was never allowed to get rid of it (was called rufus!) and I've kept it all wrapped up. It still has the Harrods label I'm going to get it down for Marcus, he loves dogs and can push it along or sit on it too. He has a name tag saying belongs to me so I'm going to get one saying loaned to Marcus!

 

[Diddums]

Aww Anna that's so cute about the toy! And fab that Marcus is walking with toys! Boys often develop at bit slower, I've heard. You seem in a better place with regards to Marcus and I'm really happy for you. I think everyone has a habit of comparing their baby to someone of the same age, but it doesn't really work like that. My godson was an early walker at 10months, whereas my friends little boy didn't walk until 16 or so months. And he's now caught up, he was just a slower developer.

Can't believe I have 6.5 weeks of work left until maternity leave. Also can't believe I will be 30wks on Saturday!!!

 

[hay246]

thats it us as mothers always compare to others, but they are all so different we shouldn't but we cant help it lol!

allister also hated his moses basket. wouldn't bother with one again dont think.

great news for him though marcus.. and yay for daisy! bet u are so excited to finish work diddums altho i didnt finish until about 2 weeks before, but i am glad as i would have just been bored and i was 11 days over!

sinn i thought the birth plan was so pointless went through it all in detail and then got to hospital and they asked me all the same details again, didnt even look at it! annoying!!

 

[betty14]

Anna that so cute about the toy!

Has anyone told you he is different?

I didn't walk till I was 18 months old! I didn't sit up unaided till I was 9 months! Where as my friend walked at 7 months! All babies are different and do things at their own speed!

I think Marcus is perfect and you sound as though you've turned a corner and are enjoying him again

Diddums it's gone so fast! Only seems like yesterday you found out! Are you all ready for her or have you still got bits to do?

Hay hope you are well

Xxxx

 

[annanouska]

Regarding birth plan... I did one nobody read it or cared and I ended up with a v diff birth to what I wanted but had to due to how it was going.

Not been told he's different Betty just an observation. He's not so different he sticks out he just goes about things differently, hates crowds, has no issue with loud noises like tools fireworks etc but s

 

[hay246]

i dont think he is different he is just himself. they all have their ways and things they like dislike, hes fine

 

[Samie18]

all I'll say is you cant plan birth....

marcus is just perfect
xx
