Not really Krystal... I'd have to make an appointment to speak to anyone at the docs. That's the downside of a huge surgery - you can't hang round for 5 mins to see your doctor for a quick question like that Will drink plenty of water today and reduce my sugar intake (bah humbug) and see how it goes - I'm seeing the doc on friday anyway so will ask then if it's not unbearable before that...

Morning!

Mrs.T, I have no idea sorry. Hope your foof feels better soon.

Well DS2 slept till 2.30am then was up till about 5am being sick. But I actually feel ok, slightly sick which I always am if I've had a disturbed night, but I did get a good few hours uninterupted before he got up so I'm not too bad. Just got to avoid the dog as he always makes me sick :rolleyes:

Had strange dreams last night... Argos were selling cars but they sent us a mustard yellow one instead of black and my MIL was there when I was paying and she kept being nosey asking how much it was and how we were paying for it (as she would in RL) so I told her to shut the foof up and slapped her! Infront of her church friends too (who were holding up the whole quewe acting like teenagers in argos for the first time ever).

Small news article here on SIDS and breastfeeding...
http://www.onmedica.com/NewsArticle.aspx?id=24af7724-f556-4c9f-ba77-273143106784
It's actually raised a few hackles on the breastfeeding forum I'm on... More for the wording of the article than the actual content...

Interesting... I think reading the full study would be interesting, I often wonder what other things the study has omitted or not considered important - like demographics and parents habits etc. For example did the SIDS babies have more parents who were smokers, who smoked through pregnancy, who drank more than x amount through pregnancy, who came from a certain dermographic group etc. It's often too easy to focus on one factor when analysing data and drawing conclusions which support a view already held instead of allowing the data to stand on it's own - data manipulation

However I do think there might be something in it - but then I'm already in the BF camp

Morning, Mrs.T I just read your post which I know makes sense but I'm so tired that I couldn't get my head around the big words, omg and I've just types the most ridiculous words that made no sense. I've gotta go to work in 15 mins!

Morning girlies!

Slept the world again last night had a good 9 hours. STIL tired though. I have a docs appointment at 5:20pm but I still have no idea what I want them to do. Or even if they can do anything. JUST MAKE ME FEEL BETTER when deep down I know they can't do owt.

I dreamt last night I had another boy and it came out looking like Peter Petrelli from Heroes (who I think is foxy!) so I called him Peter.

Morning all - question for you ladies would you take an 18month old to a funeral? Unfortunatley we've had a death over the weekend and have been invited to the funeral but I don't know whether to take DS1 for not?

It was a close family friend/our next door neighbour and DS1's Godmother. I will ask her husband and see what he wants but was wondering what you all thought.

Hope you have a better day shelvis, re the doctor, maybe it will help just to tell him or her. X

Claire, I personally wouldn't as I wouldn't want then to see people crying, but it's up to you as only you know how your 18mth old would react.

Claire, I would think twice about taking them to the service, they tend to be a bit fidgety... Would take them to the wake afterwards though... Which is what I did with Aimee when my grandfather died... A friend watched her for me then bought her along to the wake where she ran around with my cousins and entertained everyone a bit...

Tine, completely agree about research and variables... Also reporting research tends to be biased depending on the sources... (I never trust any 'report' that appears on the BBC, never known anywhere skew information to suit their own prejudices like the BBC!)

I have sadly had to be at a few funerals in the last year and no I wouldn't take a young child to a funeral. I think it should be a time to contemplate the person who has passed and remember. Having a toddler there either being disruptive or curious would have been a great irritant for me personally and I would not have been happy. The first of the 3 bereavements in the last year there were a few kids who wanted to say goodbye, but the parents decided the best way to allow them to do that was to take them after the funeral to see the grave and leave flowers and explain to those old enough that x had now gone to sleep and was resting.

I personally don't think children belong at funerals... at the wake or party afterwards yes most definitely! but not the actual funeral

Claire - I took DD to her great grandmothers funeral when she was about the same age purely because it helped my dad having her there with him (she is the apple of her grand daddys eye :rolleyes: ). He said it was what my grand mother would have wanted as she loved having children around, having 6 of her own and always fostering babies it just seemed appropriate. DD was already quite articulate at that age though and has the memory of an elephant. She still remembers that day now and often looks for her "big nanny" who is a star in the sky.
