Is she ready (size and weight-wise) to go into the next stage of car seat? We bought the Maxi cosi priori fix for my car and it stays in my car. However, we bough a Maxi cosi SPS from mothercare (about £80) as a second seat as my m-in-law collects Jenna from nursery once a week. It's light and...

Jenna used to use a dummy, only when in her cot. Like your DD, once she was asleep it used to fall out and she would stay asleep. It is a problem as at 6 weeks they are not mobile at all. You may just have to grin and bear it at the moment. When Jenna was a bit older, and rolling etc, we used to...

Hi all! Just wanted to say hello again - I was a (fairly) active member on this site during my first pregnancy, and found the advice and support invaluable. As Jenna is now almost 15 months old, and it took about 2 years to conceive with her, we have started TTC number 2 :) Jenna was conceived...

We haven't been to Flaine before so will be interesting to see somewhere new. We decide on it as it's supposed to be family friendly and we got a good deal on an apartment (Jenna needs to sleep in her own bedroom as none of us sleep when she's in with us!) in a brand new complex...

Thanks for all your replies! Hubby used to ski for the GB Junior Team and instructed skiing for many years (he retired from racing in his mid 20s) so we are keen to get Jenna used to the snow, and plan to start her off on little skis when she is 3 and a bit. thanks for all the advice - I think...

Thanks for that :) I have been looking online, but Clarks only have 4 girls 'cruiser' shoes on their site - 2 pinks and one lilac open ones and one white 'summer sandal)! (and something like 11 boys ones!!)

Jenna has been walking independently since Christmas day - she now very rarely crawls at all. We have spent the past 4-5 weeks trying to find her some pre-walkers as we dont' want to put her in hard walking shoes yet. We have looked at Clarks 'cruising' shoes but they never have anything in her...

We ski every year, but missed last year as J was only a few weeks old. We're off to France end of Feb for a week - driving for the first time ever as we'll have J with us. We're taking 2 days to get there and the same on the way back to break up the journey for her. Also taking m-in-law as she...

I bought grohangers (by gorbag) as they extend which is great as their clothes get bigger!

in a moses basket in our room for the first 2 weeks, then in her moses basket in her cot in her own room until about 16 weeks when she moved out of the moses basket

we've got a bugaboo cameleon which can be rear or front facing, although at 7-8 months old you'd by paying a lot for something you dont need (comes with carrycot)

As above re the sleeping bags, although we swaddled Jenan unitl she was about 16 weeks old. We didn't bother with the cot bumper - (1) they;re not moving around yet and (2) when they do start moving you do't want to have something they could get their faces pressed up against and suffocate on...

That's what we did with Jenna. We started weaning her into her grobag at about 14-16 weeks becasue she kept wriggling her arms, and eventually her legs, out of her swaddling. When weaning her, we started by half-swaddling her (up to her armpits), then the next week we put her in a grobag and she...

I bought a couple of cheap nighties but never wore them. I went into hospital in jogging bottoms, baggy fleece and wearing crocs (the only thing I could even vaguely get my swollen feet into). I wore nothing for most of my labour - couldnt' even bear to have the sheet over me - just lay there...

We bought the Tommee Tippee Suresound Ultimate monitor when Jenna was born - loved it! The only disadvantage is that the room temperature only shows on the base unit (in Jenna's room) and not on the parent unit, but TBH we know what temp her room is (has been between 20 - 30 degrees over the...
