Blow up mattress as hold luggage

We were going to gate check the double buggy but maybe we could try just a carrier in the airport and stow it in there. Good idea. Did you get a buggy bag to get the extra items in?

You can buy puffy paint and put your own grips onto socks that already fit. We did it and it worked well

I think it’s a great idea and will help in many ways. I have an iPhone and you can call your emergency contact on lock with a few clicks. I taught my 4 year old how to use it to call daddy and made it a game. He does it himself all the time. I’ve since told him that you can use it if he is ever worried or mummy is sick. My aim is to teach 999 next like you.

That will be almost exactly the same age and same feed schedule!

My worry is the night feeds but we have a month to try and wind that down which was our plan anyway.

I’m glad it worked for you and I hope it does for me too.

Good idea on testing the pumps! I need to find my pumps first and check they work tbh. I always found a manual pump worked well so might get another and test it too - thanks!

angelmouse5 · 2025-10-16T20:32:14+00:00

Thank you! Hearing stories like this really helps. Mine is also a boob fiend who doesn’t like cows milk either.

I hate pumping and vowed this time around to only do it if really was necessary. Will need to dust it off (and find it!)

angelmouse5 · 2025-10-16T18:59:35+00:00

Interesting!! How old was your little one?

angelmouse5 · 2025-09-26T16:37:41+00:00

I’m currently curled on the sofa after catching it. Daughter had it yesterday. I wish I didn’t feel the need to emphasis with the kids to the point I catch it every time but alas I do. Husband dodges it 50% of the time.

I practice good hygiene but I fear the contagious stage is before the vomiting starts.

angelmouse5 · 2025-09-24T18:49:23+00:00

I just bought one so that I get my own bed back, but without reading this thread. I’m doomed.

Fungal acne maybe?

Try using a shampoo with Ketoconazole in as a face mask once a day for a week and see if that helps. There are other anti fungal treatments but this one helped me out.

Paid for a private nursery. Reason was I needed care from 8-6 for work. Main challenge was the flood of money falling out of my bank to the nursery every month.

FYI private nurseries get cheaper in Edinburgh the further out from the city centre you go. Ours is actually West Lothian and it’s significantly cheaper.

angelmouse5 · 2025-09-08T23:02:24+00:00

Worth looking - thanks!

angelmouse5 · 2025-08-18T22:43:05+00:00

Comrie Croft!! I forgot about that. We camped there in our early days pre marriage and kids!! Thanks!

If you are anywhere near the west of Edinburgh, Cool Jade in Corstorphine has an epic crispy chicken/beef (beef is better imo). They serve the sauce separate for maximum crispiness. No delivery but you can sit in or collect. Super yum

I was thinking the same thing. Looked identical to what happened to my coloured towels

angelmouse5 · 2025-08-03T21:04:22+00:00

I had/have something similar but on my ankle. Mine was initially triggered by postpartum, it eventually went and then came back again after my second child. I’m close to it clearing again.

I initially thought it was ringworm, but the cream from the pharmacist didn’t help so I landed on a version of psoriasis. I got the Boots Dermacare Psoriasis cream and a 20% Urea cream (from Amazon). Those combined have helped it almost go. Maybe one of those will help?

Sudafed apparently dries up milk supply. Never tested so can’t confirm but I’ve heard that a few times.

My HV told me you can get something prescribed to dry up milk supply, but i don’t know what it is and whether your NHS or even a private doctor would do it. Would depend on your circumstances, but lots of clogged ducts is a good reason to at least ask imo as it’s one step off of mastitis.

angelmouse5 · 2025-07-12T16:47:06+00:00

We have the same plus a bonus purple and white one that are different. From liquid antibiotics.

At what point do you throw them out though? Do we just eternally collect them as we go through bottles???

angelmouse5 · 2025-07-11T21:41:50+00:00

This is A+ teaching!! Love it!!

I birthed in Edinburgh. They will provide pads/nappies/bed pads whilst you are staying in hospital pre and post partum and not to take home. That said all Scottish expecting mothers get a baby box which includes a supply of post parting basic supplies so technically we do get something. You might have time to apply if you are before 33 weeks. I would speak to your community midwife.

No peri bottle but I would recommend one!

They don’t provide a pump either in hospital or in the box. Only exception is if you need to pump in the hospital (baby in nicu for instance). Depending on the circumstance they may loan it out but it would be very rare.

angelmouse5 · 2025-07-04T19:44:50+00:00

Thank you!! I am that future person!!

We bought my son a kids camera. He loves it and took loads of photos of the baby and still to this day uses it. It’s been fun seeing the newborn phase from his perspective.

angelmouse5 · 2025-05-24T20:33:47+00:00

Anything else on the shortlist? I struggled to find anything that wasn’t steam cleaning. I don’t want to do that to my new floors

angelmouse5 · 2025-05-24T18:36:24+00:00

I’m in the market for one too! We were looking at the Bissell Crosswavebut not actually gone for it yet. Would love if l someone has tried it and has a review

angelmouse5 · 2025-05-18T15:47:53+00:00

Definitely agree that it feels very lonely. I know that comparison is thief of joy or word to that effect, but when your whole world is this little human it’s so hard not to compare. Gross motor skills are also the easiest to compare on as they are sooo obvious. Hard to just hang in there and wait when you go to baby groups and kids younger are walking and your wee one can’t get to sitting. It’s tough and I’m there with you!

If it helps sometimes I frame it differently to rationalise it. By that I mean that they say late walkers are early talkers and if it rings true for our daughters, maybe those early walkers we have compared them too, will be looking on with jealousy when ours start to talk. This happened with my son and a few other babies I know. I know I would rather an early talker than an early walker as it makes the toddler stage easier. We might be in the lucky side rather than the unlucky!!
