Have finally put some piccies of Charlie on photobucket although now realise they are 6 weeks out of date! Also put a piccie on of my poor pussy cat! She's 19 years old and not very good at cleaning herself (and won't let us do it!) so she went for a shave!!!! SO FUNNY! Bless her she's fine - just l...

Guys - I'm sorry to butt in (I always seem to butt in this thread!!). Just wanted to say hi to Anna! I can't believe you are so close!!!! I couldn't find you over on the pregnant thread (well, not without reading everything!) and I knew you'd be over here! Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and ...

Hi all! Jomae - sorry to hear it didnt go as planned. But it really does only take one and you never know. Best of luck! Great to hear all your stories! It makes me feel normal!!! Sometimes I fell like I'm the only one who has to deal with enteretaining, feeding probs, sleep probs etc. etc. Nice to ...

Zed, A friend of mine has exactly the same problem. Her little one took a bottle of expressed right up until 10 weeks and then after that FLATLY refused. She is now 5 months old and still no joy - despite trying different bottles/teats (and leaving her 10 hours once). Our health visitor has suggeste...

Hi all! Just a quick note to say we had a great holiday (have I already posted this?!). We tough going getting into a routine but we got there in the end. We even got a bit of a tan! (well, i did - Charlie is whiter than when he went!). Since coming back we've moved more to bottle feeding in readine...

Hi all! Just a quick note to say goodbye for a week! We're off for our first family holiday to Tenerife - eek! Hope he behaves himself on the plane!!!!! Can't wait for all those "firsts" though (first beach, first paddle, first swimming pants etc!). RE: teeth - my Mum told me about a herbal remedy -...

Michelle - gret to hear from you. You are the first person on here that I know had a baby from " trying". I wish I had some words of wisdom but I 'm so behind you I dont have any. Just wanted to say hi and keep the thread alive. Sleep devprivation is the hardest thing to deal with as "energy" is low...

We used to swaddle Charlie in the early days but then he found his hands and got frustrated by the swaddle. We now use a "dreampod". Also known as a sleeping bag or "sleepod". It's great - there is no way it can go over the head and you "zip" him up in it. It keeps him warm but is safe. We used to j...

Wow - many congratulations. How absolutely fantastic!!!!
Isnt it just the best feeling in the world.

Just in case I talk about Charlie's weight again, and you think I went mad I thought I'd better let you know I miscalculated his last weigh-in!! I weighed him today and he's lost 2lb! I dont think so!!!!!!! So for those of you keeping track of weight, 2 weeks ago he was 11lb 2 NOT 13lb 11!!!! and to...

Hi all! Sue - great to hear from you. Worrying about baby getting enough food seems to be one of the most common things to worry about. As long as she is putting on weight steadily I'd be happy. Some just put in on at a slow and steady pace rather than all at once. I think Charlie was around the 9-1...

Hi all! Just a quick post.. Charlie in bed and I want to put my feet up before we go to bed ourselves!!!!! Great to see everyone doing so well. Charlie is now 13lb 11 - I cant believe how much he's grown!! We're still b/f (me anyway!) but with a bottle before he goes to bed and in the night. I was f...

Justine - best of luck!!!!!! It will happen I expect when you least expect it!!!

Enjoy the last few days of lounging around!!!
