Hi girls

Ash and Laura, making me feel like a terrible mother, I have a drink occassionally and dont worry too much about it. I think it is quite small amounts and I tend to have it while Andrew is giving him a pre expressed bottle so he wont feed for a bit. Your body will metabolise it so it wont be there for long. Or maybe this is why Logan sleeps so well, he goes to bed pissed .

Ash, Logan sleeps in a grobag too and it keeps him snug. The hospital told me it was important his arms were free to let him cool himself down if he was too hot. You might have to grin and bear it for a few nights. Good luck!

Julz, you star! After you mentioned the netmum website I have had a look on there and found a mum in my village. I am going for a cup of tea on thursday. I guess she could be a total nightmare but worth a try . Hope you get on well with the mum near you.

We are going to see the NCT girls today, getting quite a social life  

Hope everyone else is ok.

Vicky and Logan

Vicky -Sorry really didn't mean to make anyone feel bad, I just wondered what people did regarding alcohol. I'm sure  having a glass of wine now and then can't do any harm afterall you can drink that whilst pregnant. They change the guidelines so often that it is confusing. If it makes the baby sleep well then it has to be a bonus!

Julz - I have also been on Netmums a while back and have met a lovely local mum, definately would recommend the site to meet some local mums. It's a pity we are all spread over the UK as it would be nice to meet everyone.

Isla had her first bottle of formula at my Mum's today (we are going to a wedding next Friday and not got a lot of milk expressed and find it quite hard to find the time to do it) she wolfed it down and has been asleep for about the last 2 and a half hours )  

Bit fed up today as OH phoned earlier and he won't be home on Saturday as planned but probably Monday now ( Nevermind he will be back soon.

Hope all mums and babies are doing well

I would suggest the grobag too. You can get them (only really found them in Tesco) which have sleeves on with built in scratch mitts!! We put Tyler in that, a sleepsuit and vest and he loves it. We have moved him into a normal grobag now as he sucks his thumb and hates the mitts! lol

Netmums is really good! I met up with someone today and we had a laugh, think she's almost as mad as me! lol.

Tyler weighs 18lb 5oz   put on nearly 2lb in one month, which is good since he was putting on 1lb a week before! lol.

Drink? I could do with one!

Hope everyone's doing good

Hi everyone

Hope everyone is doing well today. 

Not had much of a chance to get on the computer the last 2 days as Isla has been really unsettled. She has been sleeping through the night from about 2 weeks old but has now started waking at about 3am for a feed, aaahhhh! I am shattered. I was thinking of giving her a bottle of formula for her last feed of the night to see if she sleeps any better. 

My OH is coming home on Sunday afternoon, yeah Can't wait to have some adult company again. 

Wow Julz Tyler is certainly growning well. Drink - right now I could do with a bottle of vino but will have to wait a week to have a glass or 2. Netmums is great I am also meeting with some people I have met through it.

Hope all Mums & Babies are well today

Laura & Isla
