Advice needed - baby car seat questions (merged)

Carmina_Piranha_3

i read it as the baby thinks he/she is older than 5 months?

as for the different types of milk being marketed i tried the omneo comfort milk and it was a godsend. probably because it has around half the lactose of the other milks, and not all babies are able to deal with lactose. once we found tiger milk (lactose free with a tiger on the tin!) he was fine. but the omneo comfort milk certainly comforted him.

I know that on the Britax website there is a section where you can put in your car/year etc and it tells you which seats to get, but dont know about Graco....

The other option is that our local council road safety department has roadshows once a month for you to go and have your car seat checked, dont know if they would have any info on which car seat suits which car... you could check your local council

Hope that helps

i actually cant believe the number of posters who jumped on the whole feeding issue saga, the question asked was about car seats, why do posters feel they have to give thier opinions about something else not related to the original question.

i think the car seat part of this post was genuine, but the majority of this post was the op and his wife taking the micky !!

Really?! No?! Can it possibly be so?! No way!

And just to clarify, what exactly did your post have to do with carseats?

BTW, where is Ms A? Do turkey twizzlers really take that long to defrost?!

I cannot believe how nasty some of these posts are, my grown up daughters were given solids at 12 weeks and dare I say it, the odd piece of chocolate. They are both slim adults with all their own teeth and no fillings. One loves chocolate and the other can't stand the stuff. Moral of the story? Absolutely nothing!! Sorry I haven't anything to add about car seats either.

Hey balmaiden, no worries.

Everyone on here is an expert, and he is my son, and our child and we shall deal with him how we feel fit, we decided to feed him solids (chocolate mouse, yogart) because he wanted to eat them. He would have his bottle then enjoy part of a yogart (usually his sisters) then carry on with the bottle. It come too the point that we needed to buy the tommee tipee spoons as the usual metal items were a little too wide for his mouth. Today he is 5 months, 2 days, born 25 or 26th nov, cant remember without looking at calander but im not really good at birthdays, technical information on how to fix a state of the art fighter jet, or high speed fibre optic mil std databuses then yes, birthdays no.

I must say that he has been eating foods for a few months now, its not like we did feed him food straight from the frying pan, but little things like baked beans sauce, or gravy, simple things that could fit into the spoon to get his taste buds working and we found as time went on he prefered the food too the bottle. First real food he eaten was beans and sausaged in the blender followed by a bottle, we dont starve him of the bottle but he can eat the food, then pack in a 7oz blue bottle and ask for more. We found from about 4 weeks old that he had to go onto the 2nd stage teats as he wanted more from the bottle than supplied, from there he's sat on about 6oz for 3-4months which in the end due to the waking up at 2am from going down at 11pm for a feed, we put him onto blue milk and we have found that he can sleep through till abuot 5-30am, well thats the usual time i get up for work, as i have to commute an hour leaving at 6-30am for a 7-30am start. Then the wife has him during the day, i return about 6pm usually by the time i drive the 37miles home, then the little !!!!!! is fed again, sometimes food but most of the times it ends with a bottle, he use to fall asleep with the bottle but now its too the point that you can put him into the baby walker and give him his toys (crinkle book, rattle thing) and straight into his mouth.

In the past week, wife said he has signs of his 2nd tooth coming through his gums, not yet seen this as ill be back home on thursday afternoon ishy, wifes probably not been online as probably packing to go away on holiday next week, managed too pick a holiday up to majorca for £215 for 2 people self catering, never had a honeymoon so could call this one of them, but were off to ibiza next month with all the kids, no not san antonio bay, or ibiza town, but some little place es cana or something, then were back from there, throw in a trip away with work and off to the isle of man tt, whilst were there mum will have the kids, mum has 3 children, me, my sister and little brother (18) and were all ok, we were fed food early ages, i was walking at 9months old so not suprised if edward is so.

Well as too feeding chocolate, well why not eh. A little piece now and then placed onto his gums whilst walking round tesco watching him munch on it with it all around his lips, rather funny but still wants more as when you go near his mouth tries to take your finger off. Yes chocolate maybe a little harsh, but was them milky bar button things so maybe not too bad as they are marketed for kids.

Well the answer too the car seat question has been answered over and over again, but hey everyone jumped on the feeding thing of the first few posts, ah well nevermind eh, like i said before everyone is experts and he is a happy baby, lots of smile, rarely cries, well maybe when he has been asleep and woken up by his sister, or if we have been out shopping and asleep in the pram and wakes up for feed but were not ready, i bet you all class that as neglect or something.

I'd hate too hear what you thing about us having him sitting up in the pram pram part at 5months, its ok, the straps reduce so that he cant sit forward and has a nice little foot muff thing. Should be good as the whole thing cost over £400, its one of them mamas and papas pliko p3 things in alpha..

Anyone wanna buy it.?

Enjoy your hols Alias and mrs Alias. we are off on a family holiday to Majorca in 5 weeks. Eight of us, age range 3 to 83.

alias-omega- my eldest was crawling at 5 months:eek: Obviously due to something I'd done wrong too:p

My friend has 2 years gap between her 2 children and said that the advice had changed from weaning at 3months to 4 months in this time. It was 4 months when I had mine (now aged 8 and 5) and tbh I struggled to get to these weeks before weaning. Can't remember when they ate chocolate, but I should imagine they had the odd choclate mousse, button. Never gave them a full box of Thorntons continental.;)

re-car seats- what about going in somewhere like Halfords or a large mothercare and trying all the seats out with baby alias.
