    First day there

    Galen started nursery this morning. I'm happy he is there but also sad as its too quiet around the house and I miss his smiley little face and laugh. So I am :cheer: for him (and me) but also :( I don't know what to do with myself. I've done the shopping, washed up, put laundry on, made bed...

    Make it stop!

    Its like nails down a blackboard to me :shock: LO has four teeth through. Two top, two bottom. And since the top ones came through all he does when not yabbering, chewing, drooling, laughing, crying, eating, drinking or yelling is GRIND THEM TOGETHER It makes me cringe every time. As its...

    Haircut advice

    So, LO has HAIR. Which OH and I love. It is mad HAIR. Not just short lil locks but full on curls and squiffs out to the side. I trimmed the back a while ago as where it had thinned out with his sleeping on it he had a semi mullet going on :shock: This is about 8 weeks ago, maybe more now...

    Memory quilts/baby clothes quilts - anyone?

    This was mentioned in a TV show we just watched and so I Googled up on them. Memory quilts, made from your LO clothes once outgrown. I've only found US based places and sites so far but am looking for a UK one. I can't sew and asking me to use a sewing machine is like asking me to pilot the...

    Dropping lots of boob feeds now

    Not by my choice, but his :( BLW is going great. He eats 2 good meals a day, breakfast and tea and often has a third, lunch, but this is not always given. I don't really give snacks in between as he does not look for them and if he is hungry or thirsty I prefer to offer him the boob for now...

    Nursery twice a week at 8 months - would you?

    I am a SAHM now. I plan to go self employed probably and do some website stuff and remain at home caring for Galen and if second baby comes along then :) However, Galen is, to say the very least, an alert, inquisitive, bright very active child. Has been since very young. The past few weeks all...

I want to cut back my calorie intake now LO is coming up 8 months and has dropped one or two boob feeds now he is weaning. We've evened out on breast feeds now I...

    Noticeable drop in boob milk :(

    :? :? :? :? :? I've had a stinker of a cold and have been pretty run down with it the past 3 or 4 days. But yesterday and today the drop in my boob supply has been noticeable. Galen hasn't really dropped a regular boob feed since we began weaning and I've not had any problems in the past...

    OK so we are disturbing the boy while he sleeps :|

    Go figure. OK so Galen is teething atm and stirs a bit because of this but I've noticed this past 2 weeks that if OH makes a noise at night it disturbs Galen. Same with me the past few nights because of my bad back. I could not help but wince or scream (quietly) when I moved wrong in bed and it...

And what a great book :) Informative, well written and I'm pleased that it takes the time to explain all the reasons why weaning before 6ish months...

    BLW - gag reflex

    I've posted in the BLW blog about what Galen is eating now. He's had carrot sticks, broccoli florets, roasted butternut squash, parsnip and sweet potato. He's also had pear sticks, banana, kiwi and stewed apple. He's also has some plain natural yogurt which he loves. Sometimes I mix banana or...
