How are all you new mummies doing?

[Mummybexee]

Guys - I have no sympathy with you having to have a sort out lol

I have to move a 3 bed house into a 150sq ft storage unit in a warehouse in about 4 weeks and I havnt even started !! Ahhhhh

Xmas wise - have got him some toys, he was going to have a walker - but he's already using it lol! He has clothes from sales aswell. He won't need much else

Birthday I intend to get him a swing and slide - little tykes or whatever is on a good offer in the January sales lol!

I voted yes! And really hoping for a yes! Kinda think it will be a no though, but oh well we will see in the morning lol

Had a very busy day today. Went to Aldi - bought a box of nappies, a big free flow cup, food storage cups, and some stuff for me! Would have bought another box of bigger nappies but no way I could carry it all. I also bought weaning food for hayley. My pram weighed a tonnes coming home on the train!

Hayley was abit unsettled this evening, put her to be at around 6 as she was rubbing her eyes and she slept for a short while then was full of beans. So she eventually when to bed at 9...hoping we don't have a super early start!]

What are tet main things it means to us and Scotland if it is a yes?
It's my longest shift yet at work Tomo dreading it already I'm so jealous cus my step mum is having Macie and they have loads of nice things planned I want to go too xxxx

Nat - Think the biggest thing would be for us that we would make our own decisions. Most polls show that the majority of us in Scotland, didn't actually vote for the party in power. Also means our income is our own. There's talk of Westminster privatising NHS which has scared a lot of scots. I myself voted no. I was worried that Scotland's revenue wasn't big enough to carry us through, and if the UK is struggling to cope with an aging population, how can Scotland alone cope. I too agree that politicians say what they want at the time to get people to vote and rarely carry it through!

Scarlett has decided for the second night rubbing that come 3 I clock she's hungry I try everything to soothe her first but it's food she wants. I've tried upping her bottles today but no luck, she also had a fair bit food so don't know what's going on. I don't want her to get used to it tho just before I go back to work

 

[Mummybexee]

Maybe try a purée for tea Jen and see if that works

I'm glad it's no to be honest - I don't think Scotland could carry itself financially and on the back of this Scotland will get more powers and say so it's flexed their muscles

 

[T84]

I hope so Bex! A lot of people saying we look like we are running scared and will lose powers because of it but that's a bit unfair. One day we will be ready, just not today I think.

She had a purée and puréed apple at 4 yest. Might try it a bit later. Would 6 be too late before she goes for her bath and stuff?

 

[iWitch]

I don't vote either. I live in yorkshire and regardless of what any of the parties say, in barnsley & doncaster labour will win it because of the miners strike. It's hammered into our heads from a young age that we should vote labour & even people my age & younger seem to agree.

I actually worked at the polling station the November before I fell pregnant for the Police Crime Commissioner vote & actually had locals coming in & saying 'I have no idea who I'm voting for but I'm voting labour' - well that worked well didn't it? The labour guy voted in was head of child services in rotherham during the time the abuse took place & has basically been forced to step down this week

Personally I think we're screwed whoever runs the country. No one looks for people who work & earn what me & the hubby do!

With recent results in rotherham tho, I might actually vote come May. It's about time power was passed to a different party to let them take a crack at it...don't think they could do any worse!

Could be a growth spurt Jen, Stanley did it for a full week but didn't want feeding but I was literally up over 10x a night, last night he only stirred once for a dummy and went 7:30-7:30 again thank god.. I've caught his cold though! x

 

[Jojo84]

I don't know what is doing on with Luke lol woke at 8am for 1oz and fl asleep until 9:45 lol

 

[douglasxox]

I've gone from having a baby who slept all night to a little rascal who wants to play in the middle of the night and can manoeuvre himself into some spectacular positions through the night! Woke at 5 to see he'd curled himself into a ball on his side at the top of his cot, head lodged against the bars lol.

 

[Jojo84]

I'm not sure what to do. Luke slept in thismorning and woke up at 8am - have him a bottle and he only had 1oz before falling asleep. Tried him again at 90 and he didn't have anything but had his porridge at 9:30. Finally had 6oz at 10:30 then had lunch (one sachet if fish pie with some cream cheese in it) then a bottle at 1:30. Refused his bottle at 4:30 but would have some yoghurt and a mahes banana. Then just now took his bottle by only drank 3-4oz. He's due to go to bed. At 6pm And he looks tired br I'm Concerned he hadn't had enough to eat today.

He's only had 17oz

 

[mrs_b_x]

They just have days like that, hungrier on some, less so on others. I wouldn't worry x

 

[Jojo84]

Thing is he was refusing bottle but eating food - it's like hes trying to wean himself off bottles. He didn't want to nap today either but wanted a nap at 5:45 so I put him to bed at 6

Maddie is doing this frequently now. Will refuse and bottle and just chew the teat but offer her food and she gulps it down. She only had 2 bottles yesterday total but still slept all night but then had 4 today so it probably evens out in the end

 

[Jojo84]

I'm still giving Luke 31oz a day and 3 meals so maybe he's just trying to tell me he needs less.

 

[mrs_b_x]

I'd say so jojo! Ryan's only having 24oz and three meals! X

 

[Jojo84]

We'll I offer 31oz. Sometimes he leaves a few oz in his afternoon bottle. Sometimes I just get 4 bottles in depending on what time he wakes. My mum suggested giving him 3 big bottles of 7oz at 8am 1pm 6pm which would be 21oz but with water between and his three meals but I'm unsure... I suppose it's worth trying isn't it?

Last few days he's been having7oz, then 6oz, then just 4oz, 4oz and sometimes he wakes for 5-6oz at 8pm ish if he refuses his 6pm bottle.

 

[Toria111]

I still offer Emma 8oz bottles 4 times a day, but she often leaves a lot especially the 10:30 and 2 pm feed. Not sure how to move her bottle so she cuts down to 3 a day. Thinking she needs to drop the 10:30 one.

Jojo, sounds like Luke just wants his breakfast.lol

 

[mrs_b_x]

All u can do is play around with them! Ryan was having 4 7oz bottles but is now having 2 sevens and two 5s, working lots better!

 

[Toria111]

What a day today, Emma went to nursery so went to my first spinning class since having her. Almost killed me! Then dentist.all fine. Phew!
