Do any of you have a trick to brushing LO teeth. I have a brush, she has a brush, we sing while I brush her teeth and she brushes poohs but she clamps down on the brush, any hints and tips???

We have lots of singing and praising! . Poppy sits on a chair in the bathroom surrounded by a few bath toys and I start the brushing stood behind her whilst she is preoccupied. I then hand the brush over to her and we both brush our teeth together (well, really, she just bites it but I know I have done the best part of it and I simply want her to get familiar with the process).

:rotfl: On that, he asked if it made a difference how the 'juice' was administered. Thought he was talking about turkey basters (eww!) but he was actually pitching for a BJ. Told him that wouldn't get it to the appropriate place so that's the end of that :rotfl:Nice try though...

Actually - I think it is more effective when swallowed...I am sure it was Weezl that told me that


Edit - it seems lots of other people have told you that already!!

Funny that this fact is one that we all seem to remember! :rotfl:

I'm still not convinced it was a fact - more of a rumour started by a desperate man! :rotfl:

Just a quick question. Have the arrivals of your bundles of joy changed your relationships with your mothers in law?

I love my MIL dearly and we have always got along well in the almost seven years DH and I have been together, but I feel like since our wriggler arrived things have changed. I can't decide whether I have just become over sensitive or if her behaviour/attitude toward me has changed, or maybe a bit of both. This is the first grandchild for them and I know she's super excited to be granny, AND I know she's succesfully raised two healthy strapping lads, but that doesn't mean I have to do it the way she thinks I should. I guess I just get fed up of feeling like I'm being judged and disaproved of over my choices (stopping BF, introducing a dummy etc). I hold my tongue for the sake of my DH, but mostly because my FIL has been really unwell recently.

Sorry, I didn't mean that to be such a big moany post, but I am interested to know if others have experienced this, and how you handle it?

I was a desperate woman by the time I was 10 days overdue


Well, our day without infacol seemed to go fine so I think we will try not taking it again tomorrow. I understand the effects 'build up' though so tomorrow may be another matter.

Benjamin took his teether to bed with him because he wouldn't let go of it :rotfl:


Yay for new cots.

Welcome to the newbies! We don't seem to have had any for ages then 3 in 24 hours!


Searching - I just reckon I will keep going with the breastfeeding til I have had enough partly I think that I have always tried to not put too much pressure on myself to BF. If I put a timescale on it then it would be like imposing some kind of pressure IYSWIM. My SIL is not a BF advocate and used to ask me all the time how long I am going to feed Banjamin for...my stock response is 'for as long as I can be !!!!!d' which stops any response dead in its tracks

Tomorrow I am doing the race for life :eek:

SB - didn't want to say on FB but it was this bit I was struggling with:

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Well she was sellin' pineapple, playin' ukulele
And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway
She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song

That'll be because it makes no bl00dy sense

I don't see my MIL that much really but luckily she is not the type to ever make remarks. She is not as maternal as my Mummy is and I have never left my children with her (not for any bad reason only she lives further away and my Mum would be most hurt if we chose MIL above her! :rolleyes:).

My family are much closer though and far more beaky! I learnt very early on just to butt in and change the subject every time something got on my pip such as 'really? thats interesting but did you see Coronation Street last night'? which means they have to work harder to get the conversation back on their track and got the message quite quickly .
