****July 2018 Mummies - Tri 2****

[JemRose]

Thanks Shan and KHTW. Just a really hard week this week emotion wise.

Dummies, I'm really hopeful I won't have to use one. don't like them at all (personal preference)

 

[Shanivy]

i'll never make the bottle mistake again thats for sure. Definitely agree with taking them away early as possible but it's easier said than done lol. Xx

 

[Shanivy]

Ooh KHTW that's fab fx for tonight. Once you're through one night without it you'll be fine! She's a clever little thing Xx

 

[Shanivy]

I'll bet Jem but don't let anyone else get you down! Pregnancy as wonderful as it is, can be hard enough without people making you miserable. You don't owe anyone anything xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Jem, id simply say you want nothing to do with him. If you want me and my baby in your life then leave it be now, if you wont i will habe to cut you out of my life as i dont need this negitivity when im growing a human life (your great grandchild!) it is up to me who i want in my life.
If they carry on with the shit just block them. You have your OH and your baby fk anyone else.

 

[JemRose]

Thanks PB I may say exactly that if they do continue. All quiet for the moment now!

Just want to cuddle my little boy and protect him from it all x

I can understand why people hate dummies but its different for everyone. Everyones just doing there best thats all that counts.
I didnt realise it was difficult to stop bottles?!!! DD is on 3 meals a day and dropped 3-4 bottles, and she absolutly loves food so hoping its easy x

 

[JemRose]

I don't particularly like dummies but I do understand that some babies just need one. So I won't not use one if it is needed, but would like to try without first of all x

 

[Shanivy]

PB maybe it's not but dd just would not give her bottle up lol. The dummy she was like ok theyre gone fair enough. But the bottle was just omfg. She actually must have been almost 2 when we ditched it because Santa got it. But she went mad about it that night and every nap and night for over a week. At least.. She'd have whole milk in it by the way. I'd say the bottle was my worst parenting fail lol xx

Jem, PBs advice about it is probably better than mine tbh xx

I made a silly mistake and gave DD at bottle with cows milk when she turned one (only at bedtime), I should have just gone from boob to cup. my friend had a nightmare time getting the bottle from her two year old but thankfully my daughter gave it up no bother. hence the lack of pressure of the dummy, shes never been a bother in anything so the dummy is obviously an important comfort to her come bed time

Right this is exactly what I did! Whole milk. I'll definitely be putting it in a cup this time. Dd started to use her bottle for comfort like others do a dummy and that was how we ended up having so much bother xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Im gonna avoid that then lol. She already has water from a beaker, so will just put milk in one of them, thanks for letting me know aha x

 

[PeanutButter]

Scan ok, baby all fine. Deffo a boy still aha. They scared the shit outta me though while doing kidneys it went all sillent and sje kept changing the scanning thing, then turned to another woman and just looked at each other told me to go for a walk and then they called me back and she did it again and said was fine. Made me realise how lucky i am and dont give a crap what gender he is! Was so worried.

 

[Shanivy]

Ooh my goodness PB I'd have totally panicked! Terrible of them not telling you what was going on like that. But I'm so glad baby is okay! Xx

 

[KHTW]

Glad scan went well PB! They should know better than do shit like that x

 

[PeanutButter]

[Shanivy]

That's great hun, does that mean your date needs changed? Xx

 

[Shanivy]
