I'm delighted I sent James to crèche tbh. It's been a wonderful experience for us all. I have no qualms sending Rory now too. I know my mother wouldn't be able to provide the same stimulation if she had been looking after him, heck, I wouldn't be able to myself.
James has chicken pops. I'm sure Rory's next.
That's what I was thinking too about the stimulation. He will have small cousins around but I would like him to interact with babies he doesn't know. I might look at a local crèche for when he is a bit older maybe a morning a week.0 -
Wow, spooky, I just spent pretty much the whole day discussing going again lol! I even sent my OH a text telling him that I was jealous of the bumps and I wanted him to knock me up
Re the crèche, tbh it's all my issue - I'm terrible at letting him go; the night he went to my sisters I spent a good part of wailing (he was perfectly fine!) I'm sure he'd be fine in a good crèche, but I wouldn't!!
DK, hope the chicken pops don't spread 0 -

A bit of both really. She rolled towards my husband first so he guided her head down the first time. We then centred her on the mat and let her go. We were right next to her but I have to admit I had the urge to catch her! Put her back on her front again and she didn't do it again. I managed to catch her on video earlier so I can show off/bore people 0 -

So, we're both sick, AGAIN! Streaming colds - he sounds like I make him smoke 20 a day!!
Roesy, I saw your other thread about napping - I've no advice really, but I still feel (my lad) is a bit young to be in a regular schedule. He still falls asleep in my arms - storing up trouble maybe, but its gone from taking him an hour to go down, with at least four return trips up the stairs, to taking about ten minutes, and it's getting rarer that I have to go back into him. During the day he wakes anytime between 6 and half seven, has a 30 minute nap at about 9.30/10am, another hour after lunch and another half hour in the evening. He goes to bed around 7.30/8pm. He naps on his beanbag in the morning, his pram at lunchtime and wherever he happens to be in the evening - it's generally in the car if I'm driving in to collect himself from work. I'm a firm believer in relying on these things working themselves out - I don't know of any 15yr old boys who have to be cuddled to sleep by mama or who sleep in her bed My phn was all concerned, telling me he should be sleeping three hours from 11am and the reason for that is because he'd have to do it in a creche or childminders. Well, sorry, but no! He's finding his own rhythm, and we'll all get there. 0 -

Little monkey did four rolls in a row Saturday and seems to have forgotten/lost her nerve since!!
I don't really mind the schedule thing. She sleeps well enough at night. It's just the pitch battle to get her to even take a 30 minute nap! You wouldn't mind but she is dying to sleep about 2 hours after waking and by about 2 and a half hours her eyes are like slits. Oh and she'll nap like a dream for the in-laws! I do suspect that they just let her sleep in their arms though.
She'll get there eventually. I'm just grateful that he sleeps at night, three months of walking the floors at stupid O'Clock was starting to take it's toll! 0 -

Sounds really odd nikpmup, but would you try putting a quartered onion in his room at the first sign of a cold. My Moldovan friend suggested it to me when Olivia was really little. She said it was a home remedy she used herself and was used by her parents and grandparents. They had no pharmacy where she grew up and a doctor was only called if they were dying!! I've tried it a few times at the first sign of a cold and whether its coincidence or not she's never gotten one.groucho marx wrote: »That was a gud long nap too roesy
Herself here woke at 2,had the bottle at half past and has now dozed off on me,i dont have the heart to move her
Ya, was a great nap. She is quite tired today though. She was falling asleep in the bath, poor little chicken!!
In other news, I have just discovered that I can now watch 'One born every minute' without being terrified 0 -

Ach, I think he just had a bad run of luck; I had loads of antibiotics when I was pregnant, IV antibiotics when I before and during my labour, and he had 48 hours of antibiotics when he was born. My GP thinks all of that gave his immune system a battering so he's catching everything going. I might try the onion trick the next time! (I had heard of it before, but I thought it was a stupid facebook/viral nonsense yoke!)
He was IM-POSS-IBLE today; couldn't put him down for a minute. Had to go back up to him four times tonight, he's only just settled. I'm shattered and in vile humour.
Still can't watch One Born, but for different reasons - I'm still so upset about the way Hugo came into the world, watching other women having lovely births and welcoming their babies just makes me sad

Was fairly sceptical of the onion thing. Still not sure that's what's saved her from the cold but anytime she's had a cough or a sniffle we've tried it and it's never gone full blown(yet!!!). She was a bit congested sounding this evening as she went to bed and I forgot to put one in though so we 'll see. It does make the room fairly stinky though 0 -

I'm never happy. She's after a two hour nap already today(with the usual fuss!). She woke about an hour and a half ago. Had a bottle and a small bit of a play and then started rubbing her eyes after about 40 minutes. I gave her a bit of a rock and a walk and she was still unsettled and tired. Had to run up to sign for a parcel so I put her in the cot with the mobile on. There was no crying or giving out so I tidied up my lunch dishes and when I went back in after a few minutes she'd fallen off to sleep with no fuss so now I'm up and down the hall checking she's okay
I don't know how many times I've wished for the day she'd go to sleep with all the fuss of bouncing, rocking and walking and now she's done it once I'm suspicious she's coming down with something!! 0 -

The mysteries of babies...
Had something similar a few days ago. DS was tired, but really fussy, refused the boob, arched his back, carrying him, rocking him, different positions, no luck... everytime I thought I had him calmed down, he'd start crying again. I put him down on the bed for 2 seconds while I grabbed my water bottle and suddenly his eyes started getting heavy and a minute later he was fast asleep.
You just don't know what to think after that...0
