"Hi Jess! I can understand it is very frustrating... I hope the re-casting goes well and that his foot gets corrected well! Don't worry about slowing him down as he will figure out turning in casts too very quick if he has to. Please keep us…"

"Hiya we use the maxi cosi seat from mother care. On its own it got very tight on length with the added bar but if you get the iso fix too it raises and tilts the seat and this has added a couple of inches of room for him. I think legally you have to…"

A Step Backwards?

We had our first check up on Monday for James since he nstarted on the boots and bars. Unfortunatley it wasnt great news one of his feet has started to turn back in again so we are back in the casts. I was gutted as we have been doiung lots of exercises and  going swimming toi build up the muscle tone. I am feeling quite deflated now and James is frustrated as he had just figured out how to turn over with the boots and bar and now is very restricted with the casts. He will also be in them for…See More

Clothing for the boots and bar stage

Hi thought I would start a post for people whose little ones are at the boots and bar stage. Trying to locate footless clothes with poppers in the crotch can be limiting, especially if you dont want to spend a fortune.To date I have bought clothes in Dunnes Stores, Pumpkin Patch and also boys tights off ebay which are great - but your little one needs to be about 5 months for the leg length.I have bought a few bits from next but these were quite pricey as were the clothes in debenhams. TK Maxx…See More

"Hi Jess! Sounds like you are going through a rough time just now. It can be a hard transition for everyone to get used to the boots and bar - not just the baby, and probably not the best time to have the house full :)  If James is slipping the…"

He woke 5 times last night having kicked them off I am praying tonight will be easier as I am exhausted, I have the in laws staying so cooking for a full house on top of it all is exhausting.Having problems fitting him into the moses basket and also the swing chair.

Hi all just to say i gave birth to a beautiful son James David Harry Cook on Sept 14th weighing a helathy 8 lb 8 oz in the Rotunda.
