MSE Parent Club - Part 2

I'm not saying I NEVER left any of the DSes asleep in the car, but this isn't a habit I'd have wanted to get into. Too many potential risks, plus too hard to keep an eye out, plus I sometimes conked out when mine were asleep. :eek:

But yes, asleep in the pram outside the house, occasionally.

I'm wondering if the common factor for nadnad's LO is that she's not lying down for her daytime naps? But conking out wherever you have her strapped in.

I don't have any answers ... once DS1 could pull himself up, he would stand and scream in his cot, fall asleep standing up, fall over and wake himself up, stand up and start screaming all over again.

i don't mean i put him into the car to go to sleep but if he falls asleep in the car then i generally just leave him there for maybe 5 or 10 minutes til he wakes up, I'd rather he woke up himself than me banging the car car seat about and giving him a rude awakening.

savvy sue you're probably right about the fact he doesnt lie down for day time naps, in the beginning he wouldnt go into his cot for naps so we started putting him to sleep in his bouncy chair and i suppose its a bad habit we got into, but anything to get him over without a screaming match. now you've said that i'm understanding why he point blank refuses to go near his cot in the day no matter how hard i've been trying recently, duh me.

Ah see you cant beat a game of musical threads to while away a quiet Sunday evening :rotfl:

Back to you now

Will the person who put the link to that fab flexible stairgate thingy please post it again? I've decided we'll need one for when the extension's finished as we won't be able to have a gate on Imogen's door any more (damn it!). We aren't doing much buying in advance, but I want this put up straight away as Imogen doesn't seem to have any awareness that she could fall down the stairs and frequently scares the beejeebies out of me by walking, or worse, running, within millimetres of the top step:eek:

Is it the kiddyguard one - i think I posted photos of ours a while back?

This site also sells the extra hooks, and the extra skirting board installation kit you might need.

Yeowch! That's more than I thought! £65 (on sale!?!) Better get saving. Thanks though! I know it's going to be the solution we need, now just got to convince OH!

Lu I got ours at boots for £60 and if you can combine it with a good points time you can get £10.00 or more back in points (to spend in boots on more baby stuff, I love their clothes but only get them when they are on offer as they are really expensive!)
