Again, I'd forgotten about these. My long term memory is shocking. It feels like that was forever ago

You’re going to get a lot of comments on this, so apologies if you hear the same thing…
I used it with my nearly 7yo and 3 yo. No issues. (It wasn’t the same one) used it with the baby and hated it. The hot shot didn’t get hot and he loves his bottles warm. This may be a minefield, but this is what I done…
Before he was born, I bought tommee tippee bottles and he didn’t like them. So I’d fill them up with a couple of oz of cool boiled water and stick them in the fridge. Every night I would fill up the flask of boiling water, which lasted 24hrs. When it came to his bottle, I would put an oz of the cool boiled water in his mam bottle, put 2/3 oz (depending on how much milk he was having) from the flask, put the scoops in, mix and add the rest of the cold cold boiled water. Yes, it sounds like a faff, but this was really worked for us and he was still getting his hot shot
I’m so glad I no longer have to do this anymore 🫠
Happy New Year mamas

I love you all so much and I hope 2023 brings you everything you have dreamed of, will this be the year we see @I’mThankyou_, on the way to creating her own football team of babies? Get your bets in now!

Had anyones babies ever had crazy nappies when switching from formula to cows milk?
Weve been doing it gradually as baby elf wouldn't take a bottle of just cows milk so its about half and half at the moment, he only has about 3 bottles a day. But he has been pooing every hour for about 3 days just really mucusy weird poos. His poor bum is so sore and I cant figure out whats causing it. The milk is the only thing that has recently changed

Do you just have the material box/drawer things?I think it just didn’t occur to me because my own children can’t open the kallax? Now I’ve thought about it, I have no idea why she can’t, she’s almost 4, I think it’s just become habit to ask for her to ask for what she wants. But therefore I’ve never need to ‘hide’ toys that are put away, because my own kids can’t access them
Everleigh has been able to yank them out since she was about 1
I'm constantly having to tell her not to pull them fully out. Because then she tips everything out and tries to get in the boxes
We *touch wood* have never had an issue with them getting into paint. However, I feel like Everleigh is the one to change that
It is technically in reach in the kitchen.
We've never had problems with pens and stuff or drawn anywhere other than paper. Luckily.
Again, I feel Everleigh will be the one to change this
Happy new year! I’m so grateful for this community here! I’m sad I’m not on ad much as I’d like — I miss you guys!
I also can’t believe I got pregnant in 21, born in 22, and turns 1 in 23. She’s napping low and I miss her dearly even though she slept most of the night on me last night, but she slept like a champ through the fireworks last night so
. She’s now doing this thing where I put her in her next to me and she immediately rolls to her stomach and hulk smashes her head to the side / my mattress and then can’t breathe. So I obviously can’t leave her there.
I have about 2-4 more weeks before KW leaves again and this time for 13 weeks. Not sure how I’m going to manage all of it, but I will be working only 3 days so that’ll help a lot.
Oh, and she starts daycare on Tuesday.
We keep hitting these time benchmarks that seemed so abstract this past year and now they’re so real. I can’t wrap my head around it.

We use the rapid cool and love it but we make the bottles up in the bottle then pour it into the flask, cool then wash and cold water sterilise. That way you're making it to nhs guidance and it doesn't take much to clean tbh. Was the best option for us as we combi fed until 2 weeks ago when she decided my tit wasn't good enough anymore
so we only did 2 bottles of formula a day in 6m. I have friends who rave about the prep machine but know a couple who's babies had worse trapped wind after using it, altho I'm not sure why? It looks so easy, I'd probably have got one if we used more formula.Mr B wants to sort through all the boys clothes as they are all in piles in their rooms. I guess I have to come to peace with killing someone off this year
Happy New Year to you lovely mamas!! Here’s to another year of babies and KWs x

Is anyone still losing tons of hair a year pp? Everytime I wash or brush mine I have enough falling out to make a wig! And KW keeps getting pissed I’m clogging the shower drain with it all!
was thinking maybe I should be taking supplements?

yeah, just normal fabric ones. But the ones at the bottom are fairly heavy brcause of what they’ve got in them (eg one crammed full of puzzles, one has all the wooden toys) so I think the ones she could reach when younger were just too heavy to yank out so she’d have to ask, plus a lot were out of reach as our kallax is massive. And I think now she just has the habit of asking, and that means I can say “you need to put x away before we get anything new out” and it sort of keeps the house fairly tidy that way.Do you just have the material box/drawer things?

Now I’m writing it down I’ve realised how insane I sound for not realising other children would open it
I wonder how many of you hussies will be back in the pregnancy thread in 2023?

Yes! Twin 1 didn't take to cows milk at all, I think it's because in formula the cows milk is hydrolysed more so wasn't as rich on her tummy. She was either really crappy and mucusy or bunged up to high heavens. We switched her onto Soya milk and she calmed down loads. We kept giving her yoghurts and cows milk in cereals and we're slowly making the switch back over to cows milk (simply because I'm fed up of buying two lots of milk) and she's taking it better this timeHad anyones babies ever had crazy nappies when switching from formula to cows milk?

It could be the cows milk is slightly too rich for his tummy! Hopefully he can get used too it

I've started taking biotin daily, yet to see a difference. My bath still looks like hagrids had a shave there
I need to find the energy and enthusiasm to take down my Xmas tree but i really can’t be arsed
Genuinely fear I will end up with another, I can't lie to youI wonder how many of you hussies will be back in the pregnancy thread in 2023?
KEEP YA KNICKERS ON, REMEMBER THE KW IS A bleepGenuinely fear I will end up with another, I can't lie to you
He needs to stop working away so I remember it moreKEEP YA KNICKERS ON, REMEMBER THE KW IS A bleep
Nor me but I appear to have had a mental break and the thought of taking it down and moving the Kallax from my office there instead to organise his toys is dare I say it... thrilling me
What the duck have you all done to me?
