Don't be daft maggie, the cream is now out the window anyway, georges swab showed up staphylococcus (?) and strep a, the sore bottom had spread to his willy and over the weekend his skin had started to break down, so it became clear that there was a bit more than just getting sore, luckily dylan has...

Thank you everyone for the suggestions, we tried everything, but it's not got any better so at the start of this week he was started on steroid and antifungal cream, but just had a call from the doctor who also took swabs and the little fellas little fella is growing various nasty bugs so off to get...

Sorry i'm alone with the babies far too much for my own good ;-D so robs girls aren't looking too good, last year they went nearly completely bald, during which time we treated them for every infection under the sun it seemed and nothing made any difference. They have a very large pen with different...

Thank you maggie honey is now on the shopping list ;)

i am ignoring your band suggestion there is already enough noise in this house without a band!!

Thanks honey, off to google that. Dylan isn't too bad as he is too little to fight, but george is a right state, got some cream from doc but he runs and hides when he sees anyone with a pot of cream or a wipe

We currently have a problem pooing in the luvpie household with both dylan and george having been constipated one through a fear of the toilet and one due to medicine, so currently both boys are on lactulose but our big problem comes from them having got anal fissures (?sp) now with dylan this isn't...

Just one thing to try and remember in 9 months time, if you are set on breast feeding and if you have problems, it's not easy, number 4 gave me all sorts of problems and nearly 6 months later we are still going, but your local maternity hospital should have a feeding/lactation consultant, who should...

I know that a couple of weeks ago sands put out an appeal for white blankets for memory boxes of babies, which made me wish i could knit well enough to do some for them. I'll try and find a link tonight if your interested. But i think your doing a fantastic job i can only try and imagine how special...

No not the cupboard doors,

congratulations, like others have said go with the flow, i found that with the bounty packs and freebies i had enough nappies to get me through a couple of emergency nights, just sometimes not having to face the washing of nappies is nice especially with a little one, and especially ask people for w...

Honey sorry for not getting back to you, got logged out and then the computer broke and the phone wouldn't let me back on, luckily he is ok through the night, he sleeps on his side next to me and as long as he is on his left side he isn't sick, but thank you for the offer. We have now got to the poi...

Me and t'other half will be off to Beautiful Days in august again. We've both enjoyed it for the last 5 years so why not go again :icon_smile: We did think about Latitude but by the time we made our mind up, they were sold out. Womad is nice, but after the horror of womud the first year they moved ...

Hope she is ok, i'm on a strict one in one out rule, most of them second hand as well although they keep their value quite well, i did get one new one for george and one for dylan with money we were given when we had them. I look at the prices of pushchairs and argue that if i'd bought a decent one ...

Good luck, hope they are hammering down the door x

The melkja is a fab one from poland, was carrying george in it up to a couple of weeks before dylan was born, but it's too big for dylan at the mo. Ocah are english made mt's but instead of thin shoulder straps it's made from a proper wrap and so the straps can be fanned out over little ones bum for...
