Thank god i am not the only one!!! my friend got hers cleaned the following week!!!
The girl said for €180 it will be boxed. So even if it cost that much to clean anyway, you'll ge the box, but if it only costs 120, you will have to pay the 180 to get it boxed.
My dress has alot of "bling" on the top half - but nothing anywhere else (you can see it on my fb cover photo) so i'm not sure how much it would cost.
I have heard of girls using a soft toothbrush/nail brush with a vanish soap bar on the fake tan stains, and other stains, turning it inside out, putting it into a duvet cover and fecking it into the washing machine on a very delicate wash..
Was very tempted. even bought the nail brush and the vanish bar.
Mine is all bling as far as the waist and then 8 layers of tulle: I had a big princess dress
And loved it... I was tempted to do that too: but I'm terrified it will get ruined: you would swear I was going to wear it another ten times!TwoMums2Be wrote: »Wedding dresses are far from my expertise & I know it must be nice to get it cleaned but if you are never going to wear it again does it really matter? There would be a little bit of me that would like it showing the great day we had scuff marks and all! You know - thats when your ..... stood on me on the dance floor etc.
I guess if you hope to pass it on in the future it makes sense
Logically that makes perfect sense: but it was such a big deal to get the perfect dress (even waiting for the sale cuz it was €1700 aside from that
)... I can't imaagine ever passing it on at the same time either: so it is a waste of money!! But its just one of those totally illogical things that makes perfect sense in my head!!Does he set his alarm to get up & come back to you or does he just wake up anyway? I'm tempted to do something like this, ie one of us fecks off downstairs just at "lights out". Feck it, that's what I'm doing, I really need sleep now.
He just wakes up on his own: I reckon it's cuz he misses me!!Ok another questions. I'm planning to skip over the whole moses basket thing and just put baby straight into the same cot bed he'll be sleeping in til he's 3! My mother in law tells me you can't put them in a cot when they are newborns, they have to go in a moses basket.
Is there any truth to this, are you really supposed to have them in a moses basket for first month at least? I have a pram carry cot but I can't even put proper sheets or mattress in it as it's really for transport or naps.
You got the Baby Elegance Beep didn't you? Because if you did with a change of matress it is sutible for overnight sleeping if you want... The baby elegance website has them I think there like €25. But there is no bother putting baba straight into a cot either!!I was told that it was fine to put a newborn in a cot and it's fine to let them sleep in a seperate room.
But my mum is going to buy a moses basket and we are being given a crib so think baby will sleep with us the first few weeks.
We were told in antenatal classes aswell to keep baby in our room for the first 6 months too...0 -

SIDS charities def recommend room sharing for the first 6 months as a precautionary measure - they don't recommend bed sharing just as an aside
On another point totally - how do ye feel about the vit K injection at birth & the Vit D drops until they are 12 months old? Gonna discuss both with my GP & consultant but would be interested in your opinions 0 -

Totally agree with both: most Irish people are deficient in Vitamin
and it's not untill other problems start up that people ever know: and it is so difficult to get doctors to test for it. And the tests can take up to two months to come back. Also for anyone with a thyroid problem (or a family history of autoimmune disorders like diabetes/thyroid problems/b12 deficiency) Vitamin D is a co-hormone and is vital. The reason it's needed now as opposed to years ago is how much more aware we are of the importance of sunscreen etc.
Vitamin K is a bit different: personally I have no problem with it. It's a vitamin, and the benefits outweigh the risks. The risks are tiny if you don't get it but any risk at all is too much for me. I also genuinely don't believe doctors would reccomend it if they didn't see a need for it. I know it usen't be given years ago: but there are constant advance in medicine across all fields and this is just one of them. Also the main study in the UK that had the increase in leukemia for babies who were given vitamin K (which is what put a lot of people off of it) wasn't borne out across wider ranging studies in Denmark and the US, and a similar one in Scotland that saw no increase.
I know they are both totally personal choices (like everything) but for me I view them both as necesseties.0 -

At my second last hospital the nurse was giving me the whole breast feeding spiel and told me to have baby sleep in bed with me so I wouldn't have to get up during the night to baby and baby cld feed on demand.
It's a totally personal thing but I really disagree with her. I kinda just said oh right and moved on when I was with her, but I wish now I had that little nugget of info for her, because she was telling me the details in a very matter of fact way, not informing me!
But it will be different for everyone and in the end we will do whatever we need to do for ourselves and baby.0 -

It has at last Mink yes hopefully it will stay a few days!
Kildareash - that's pretty outdated information to be giving out without mentioning alternatives etc.
Had our breastfeeding ante natal class last night and I have to say I think we have a great midwife doing our classes as she was in no way pushy about it and started the class by saying I am here to give you information but whether you decide to breast or bottle feed is your personal choice and this is not about forcing you to breastfeed.
She didn't talk much about bottle feeding but then it was a breastfeeding class, in saying that, if you intended to bottle feed I don't think the way she approached it would make you feel bad about making that choice. She did mention that something like 6 out of 10 bottle fed babies are obese by 6 months and that if you read the labels they now say (something like) to feed on demand rather than so many bottles of so much in a 24 hour period to try and tackle this problem.
Something I found interesting was she talked about a new breastfeeding position that with all her years as a midwife, she wouldn't have believed would work so well if she didn't see it with her own eyes. Bear with me in this explanation it is basically you being propped up as if reading a book in bed - the baby the lies up your belly latched on in a face front to boob position - a bit like a Santos Colossal Bargain with their head at boob height. Like I said she didn't think it would work with most babies when she read about it so she did a trial on 8 new mothers to see if it worked and it worked really well for 6 of them worth looking into if you struggle with the standard positions!
All in all it was a decent class without a pushy agenda so I am pretty happy with how they are going so far...next week is labour the joys! 0 -

The nice weather has reached the south west anyway... so it's probably on the way Silly
I am hating babs being so much quieter than she was... I know doc told me that she would be for a good few days, I know her heartbeat is really strong but I still hate it... I love the reassurance of her moving all the time even if sometimes it feels like shes beating the crap out of me 0 -

I've heard re that feeding position before & wondered about it. I think it's called "laid back" feeding.
Just got the angelcare monitor on Donedeal for 45 which includes the postage. Never used & still in the box, nice one :cool:
I'm pretty sure that's what she called it she was pretty impressed with it. Three of the six it worked for had either flat or inverted nipples so it was a position that worked for them...seemed a pretty natural position to my not got a clue knowledge
Great deal on the angelcare!0 -
