[Mummybexee]

Damn aldi using the old smelly wipes in the event

 

[Mummybexee]

On a plus got great buys in mothercare sale

 

[dizzybaby]

Aldi I stocked up this morning on nappies and wipes and bought some of the Muslins and tommee tippee bits as well - love a little aldi haul!

 

[Jojo84]

Ooh looks like a few march 2016 babies too toria that made me laugh haha.

Aw don't beat yourself up jojo... Blame your hubby! I'm sure luke will be fine and will have caught up in no time!

I feel awful and to top it off a little old lady passed us at the bus stop while Luke was having a cry and just reached in and pinched the skin on his arm saying "this always makes them stop crying" I went ballistic! She pinched my bsby!! Pinched hus skin! She dudnt Leave a mark but I was so angry at her! Who even does that?!?

 

[Toria111]

I wouldn't even touch someone less baby unless they said I could :-/
So why didn't your oh feed Luke?

 

[Jojo84]

Dos he thought I has apparently. I have him 7oz at 1:30 as soon as we got out of he baths then another 7oz at 30 and I'm about to give him another 7oz now then 8 at 7pm before bed. He's caught up but I feel awful!

I always get approaches when I'm out with Luke and a lot of people lean over a bit to look at him and I didn't mind until now - I always figured people just liked looking at babies and things. Now I'm going to be much more vigilant!!

Weird day too, I was standing at a crossing beside one of the girls I have swimming with and her little boy in the pram, she popped the break on while she tries to fix the zip on her bag and the break didn't apply correctly, I just caught the buggy before it rolled Into the road. She was really shaken by it... Very weird day!!

I would've gone mental if someone pinched Hayley as well Jojo! To be honest I wouldn't really be happy with a stranger even touching her nevermind hurting her!

 

[T84]

Why would someone even do that!! I hate when people even touch her cos you genuinely don't know where their hands have been. A wee old lady touched her hands and was speaking to her in docs, the wipes came straight out!! Glad luke has caught up now.

Are the aldi wipes rubbish Bex?

 

[hayes]

That is so weird it's beyond words jojo why the hell wud u pinch someone's baby! My mum lives babies n often stops n coo's over anyone's but wud never touch them ever let alone pinch!! I wud have been mad too.

We went swimming today. She hated it

The pool was really cold and she got really upset. I was very tempted to just leave but the instructor said to keep going even if they cry. It wasn't much fun though. Am really hoping she'll enjoy it more next week (apparently the water should be warmer next time), but tbh I'm not looking forward to it at all. I'd really hoped to be able to take her by myself over the summer but it's one thing taking a screaming baby in a group full of babies and quite another to do it alone :-S

On the positive side, we were both exhausted afterwards and both enjoyed a long afternoon nap!

 

[Mummybexee]

There's 2 types if aldi wipe in circulation

The loose ones in normal baby section have a square plastic dispenser/lid - however their older wipes they must still be using up in their 4 boxes are of an oval shape and smell funny

It's the square ones that are the good ones I got some it's just 10p a pack more than the 4 box deal in event

 

[dizzybaby]

My nose must be rubbish I can't smell any real difference lol!

I'd have smacked her one jojo if anyone pinched Maddie!! I get people touching her hair which drives me nuts I always have the hoods up even indoors now and pull the buggy into me or reach over and fiddle with her hairband or something til they go away. It's usually older people and I don't think they mean any ill by it but they just don't think!

It shoukd get better Hun. Some days Luke loves it, other days he cries - same with the other babies. Luke hates the dunking exercises but they're worth it.

I tried putting Luke in the bath at 6 instead if 7 in hope I woukd be able yo get him asleep by 7:30-80ish... Well he's asleep already. Let's hope he stays that way

This lady just escaped- hiding! I went mental... Must hsve looked awful me yelling at a pensioner... She sctualky walked yo the next bus stop to get a different bus! Luckily there was someone there who witnessed it who managed to calm me down.

 

[Pumpkin9]

This is what happens when you let your baby wiggle about... One minute he's on his floor mat, the next .....

 

[Toria111]

Haha, Emma's been doing that too. She always head for the sofa too.

 

[Jojo84]

Luke does it and I have no idea how! He can't roll, he can't crawl... Teleportation?? Lol

 

[Pumpkin9]

Maud, have you got a wetsuit and happy nappy? I take Thomas into a normal cold adult pool and that keeps him warm

 

[Maud]

Thanks for reassurance JoJo. Kathryn, we had her in a wet suit, but the water was proper cold due to an issue with the heating. We have to run her baths quite hot but had been told it was a lovely warm pool so it was quite a shock when we got in!

 

[Jojo84]

Omg I'm watching a program on BBC3 about open adoption - it's been on two minutes and I've already cried. This is not good news for me!
