If it’s for trapped wind, you need to get peppermint oil that you can drink, the only place I found it was Holland and Barratt. (I.e not the essential oils type that are on Amazon!)

They just told me to chew gum for trapped wind. Either it worked or I didn’t have any wind to start with 
Any smiles yet @raspberryjuice Baby W looks like she’s dying too but cos she was early it’ll probs be a while off !
Superdrug & Amazon have got capsules but quite large quantities.
I recall the syrup but not having the wind last time. Is it usually a one shot and it’s gone thing or does it build back up so it’s worth buying some to have at home in case.
I only had it in the hospital in the first couple of days and don’t remember needing it after that
We have smiles. We’ve had them for about a week and they’re so cute! I wish we could share pics without being outing
Hope Baby W shows off her smile soon too 
Since the day Baby R was born I’ve always rubbed noses with him like Eskimo kisses and for the past 2 days he’s shuffled himself to my shoulder then started whacking my head with his hand so I turn to him and like stared at me til I rub noses with him and then he smiles
he probably has no idea what he’s actually doing and it’s probably not intentional but it made me cry at the cuteness the first couple of times. Now I’m worrying we’ll both look like rudolph if he doesn’t stop doing it 
Listen to the sales person on the car seat! We ended up buying another one when Baby R was about 2 weeks old because the one with our travel system was awful. Can you buy the pram separately without the car seat?Gals how do you decide on a pram?
I thought I’d found the one but I’m not so sure nowthe one I like is a bundle and expensive as it is, but the sales person said the car seat isn’t great so would recommend getting an alternative one. What do you doooo
i think we’ve actually just had baby watermelons first proper smile 
Well done baby melon!!
I've just packed my hospital bag, I've been putting it off in case I jinxed myself and went into labour just from packing it 
No one else's bag is packed, just mine, but it's a start hahahaa

I think so - it was the icandy orange 4. But now I’ve seen its on voluntary recall. Give up alreadyWe have smiles. We’ve had them for about a week and they’re so cute! I wish we could share pics without being outing

Do you have a John Lewis or Mamas and Papas near you? Book an appointment with them and they'll go through everything with you, they'll give you advice, let you push different prams around the shop and help you to pick one that best fits your criteria. At John Lewis the sales lady asked me questions about the types of walks we'll be going on and the lengths of car journeys, and from there she recommended a brand I hadn't even heard of before, Nuna. We love it. And that was after I'd had my heart set on a Bugaboo. With these appointments you'll get a discount or money back in vouchers too if you spend so muchI think so - it was the icandy orange 4. But now I’ve seen its on voluntary recall. Give up already
I lay Baby R down on my bed this morning while I was getting sorted and he rolled over on to his front wtf I know it’s easier on the bed because it’s a bit softer than the floor, but wtf he’s 5 weeks old ffs
I know it’s easier on the bed because it’s a bit softer than the floor, but wtf he’s 5 weeks old ffs Thought I'd save money and buy some maternity clothes on Vinted. Bought a couple of bundles and the two bits I was really looking forward to don't fit. Everything was cheap so I will just give it to charity but it's put me off a bit as at least with shop bought clothes you can return stuff.
Could you re-list the bits that don’t fit on vinted so you’re not losing money?
I keep getting random thoughts pop up like “I’ve forgotten how to hold a baby” or “I can’t remember how to use a car seat” 
I mean I do and I know it all comes, but I’ll be brushing teeth then suddenly get a moment of panic about their belly button or something.
I packed babies bag and realised I’m lacking vests and sleepsuits but I don’t know what size to get. Next sleepsuits come up big right? My memory has gone to pot these last few weeks!

I’ve found next come up big. Baby R is out of all his other up to 1m stuff but next still just about fit.
Also, don’t stress - you’ll be a pro
