****** April Mummies!!!! ******

[Pixel]

Ams, I'm in Newcastle under Lyme, v close to Stoke/Hanley

I bought a small manual pump (which will be my travel pump if I end up expressing often) it came with a small microwave steriliser. I want to get a large cold water steriliser. Like the idea of being able to do a load of things at once and only take them out when needed (you can stick toys and dummies in there too)

I'm breastfeeding and I have too many bottles but Aldi had a clearance sale of baby stuff including closer to nature bottles. I think I have 9 bottles total, some 6oz and some 9oz including one that I got with the pump. The rest are from an advent starter set that was £10 on the amazon black Friday deal.

I have 9 muslin cloths, but I've heard you can never have too many of those. Wouldn't mind some of those absorbent burp cloths that I've seen people with on YouTube

I wouldn't buy too many bottles yet hun as you might need to swap and change until your lo is happy, I think the new avent natural range look good and mimic a breast also the mam bottles are really good. Yes muslins as many as you can get lol perfect for out and about. I have alwayshad cold water sterilisers and find them fantastic and cheap too xx

Ams u sound like you've had a productive day! I'm planning on breastfeeding and iv got tommi tippee closer to nature manual pump and the tommi tippee closer to nature microwave sterliser. Ordered them all online and picking them up tomorrow! X

 

[3lilmonsters]

I've bought mam bottles tommee tippee closer to nature and avent ones as I am combining breast and formula due to being put back on medication within the first 6 weeks of freya being born so I thought a few weeks of breast milk is better than nothing xx

I've not got mine yet hun but I live my pram! I put pics on last week I got the berry colour with a white chassis and I'm in love! With having other kids I've had quite a fair few prams and this by far is the best I even sat my 3yr old inand whizzed him round the house a few times and it's so light I can't wait to use it xx

We have that car seat too, was the first thing we bought at about 14 weeks- feels like ages ago!!

Thanks for the help lovelies. It's all so confusing when you're in the shop or browsing online!

[3lilmonsters]

[Ams1985]

Even though I worked thurs and fri last week I still had that "night before school" feeling last night and took an age to get off to sleep worrying about how much work I've got on this week Was fully awake from 5 so just got up in the end about 5:45 to get going seeing as I've go to drive back to wales today - booo.


Hope everyone has a good day back at work xx

 

[naomi88]

Urgh I slept badly too. Took me about 3.5 hrs to get to sleep and I still kept waking up. Woken up with a massive headache why is it never possible to start a week feeling refreshed???
Finding it harder and harder to get comfy at night! Xxx

 

[naomi88]

[3lilmonsters]

Congrats on TRI 3 hun I shall see you there in 2 weeks .

Aww good luck all back to work hoping we all have a good day xx

 

[dizzybaby]

Hi all - another week for me before I'm officially tri 3. Currently sitting in hospital wAiting room had my first blood test of the GTT and the yucky drink got 2 more blood tests to go then I can go eat, feel so faint not having had anything and I can't even sip water now!

Going to eat after this and go pick up our next bounty pack I think as we haven't got that yet - must remember to print off the Emma's diary ones as well at work tomorrow!

 

[3lilmonsters]

Eww that stuff is awful! I was nearly sick when I drank it xx

 

[dizzybaby]

I'm free! It was ok at first the drink as they watered it down but it got thicker towards the bottom and that's when it got gross! Find out the results by tomorrow - praying to god I haven't got it cos that'll be my homebirth out of the question if I do.
