My mum and dad brought Luke a parrot from Tenerife called Pablo... He loves it! He's git it in bed with him niw in fact.

I got him one if these tiday http://www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Aqua-Pod/243644,default,pd.html#q=Aqua we trued him in it in the shop and looks great and when he's grown out if it we can just put him in the bathmat

 

[T84]

Haha you's made me laugh! He doesn't mind a wee wander, he just kinda hangs behind me haha. He's a wee cutie too, everyone once in a while he will slip you a wee £20 or sneak up on you at the till and pay

That's cool jojo. Is it just me, or is it sooo much money for bath seats. Especially for what they are x

 

[Mummybexee]

Oscars still in his first bath! It has inbuilt lie back seat for newborn and opposite end a seat inbuilt for when they can sit up!

Cost me nothing aswell lol!

I think they're worth it though. I think the angelcare support Is the best buy I've had and this will see a lot of years. I also need him in a support to feel secure in bath time.

I'm so glad I went with a bath seat rather than the baby bath - I used one fir 5-6 weeks after c section and I gated it with a passion! Such a hassle for me.

Why was it such a hasstle jo? Oscars just sits inside the big bath and that's it really- takes half the time and money to fill and empty

I'm glad we have it as MIL has a massive walk in granite shower so we need a baby bath for Oscar to sit it!

 

[Toria111]

Emma was funny with her little bath too. Think it's cause she likes to have a deeper bath. I'd just borrowed from a friend thank goodness.

Bex, just seen the snowsuit you posted. Have you got the mothercare app yet? If not, you can get £10 off £50 spend when you download it.

 

[Mummybexee]

Got the app I was viewing through email they sent with their new autumn range out!

 

[T84]

I hated the baby bath too. Gave me a really sore back holding her in it, or carrying it to my room if I did it there. I've defo had my monies worth out of angelcare support one, although I think I've eeked it out enough now! x x

I hated it. It was slippy, he dudnt like it, I dudnt like using it and it took io room in the bath - niw I store it away and just have it in my bath. Diesnt take any longer to run his bath and I dint have to move it every time i want to use it. The angel care is so much better than the other things IMO.
Also the shape of the bath makes it hard to fill from the tap and I don't see the point in putting a bath inside a bath to save a small amount of water lol

Macie loved her baby bath she's only just gone into a seat on the main bath n cried at first now mine was a tippitoes ones she loved it x

 

[Toria111]

My goodness. What a night! Think Emma's sleeping is getting worse! She's still got a bit of a cold, but she must have woken about 15 times last night. Then at 4:30 this morning, she was wide awake. I spent about 40 mins back and forward shushing her, rubbing her back etc. then Chris has a go at me about how he's the only one that gets up in the night! Even though he's been out twice during the week and snored through the night. Grrrrr. Sunday is my sleep in morning, and yet I've still had to get up at 7:30 cause the boys have gone off to rugby! So annoyed.

 

[T84]

Toria he would have been mince! What a nightmare for you, it's almost like having newborns again... Or worse!! Hope you get a bit time to yourself later.

S did better last night cos we were out a bit later for dinner. She stirred from about 4 but slept til 8!! Best time for ages. I just can't seem to sleep tho, the thought of going back to work and stuff is keeping me awake. Can't remember last time I had a full night

 

[Toria111]

Jen, they will get back at about 2 then Chris will want his afternoon nap as I had my "lie in" this morning. After I got Emma back to sleep at 5ish this am, she slept till 7:10, so I only got 20 mins more than him. Think I'd like to go back to the newborn days. At least I knew I was getting 3 hours of unbroken sleep!lol

Go Scarlett! Maybe the solution is to go out more lol

Early morning wake up for everyone at grandparents' house today, lol! Maybe we should've trialed sleeping in the travel cot before spending a night away from home...
