Mine's probably crap quality - my iron levels aren't always the best :rolleyes:

OH's "best" (i use the term loosely!) mate was feeding his son Skips from very early on. Quickly followed by white chocolate buttons.. :cool:
LOL Ditto - you know it's my Dad doing the majority of the decorating work on my house! And ditto too on missing SB! :hello:

are you taking an iron supplement? maybe you should do as a matter of course..:)
Chris choked on a white choc button that my mum gave him, I was so annoyed at her I couldn't speak to her at all for about a week:eek: he was properly choking I had to smack him on the back about 5 times before he finally threw up all down my back - he was walking at this point so not tiny.

is everyone else on my wave length that choc and crisps aren't for LO's? I wouldn't (knowingly :rolleyes:)let Chris have choc until about 18mnths and I have only let him have a 1/4 of a pack of hula hoops just this month

.. Some freecyclers are so cheeky, i just offered out 2 baby sleeping bags and she replied and said do you have any other baby stuff:eek:Cheeky mare or is it just me over reacting I just get really annoyed when people are cheeky esp when your giving the things away!!!!

No, I agree, cheeky mare!
I was giving away a table which has had our fish tank on it and there had been a slight leak so a little bit of damage which I thought I ought to mention. I got an email "dont want the table but ill hav the fish tank" - I wasn't getting rid of the blooming tank! :rolleyes:

Is sitting up unaided totally unaided? I mean, I'd just plonk Tobes on the floor and he'll sit there happily by himself, with no cushion, or no seat and no wobbles?

No. Cushions and stuff in case he falls is fine wobbling is fine...in fact, falling over is fine. He just needs to be able to sit for a short period of time without anyone having hold of him.

When you get there, you will recognise it, honestly.

I do wonder how people wean babies that can't sit up TBH - even in the tiny ikea highchair (which you SO need if you are going to BLW) they need to be able to sit straight to be fed (either by themselves or with a spoon). I am sure I am missing something


Bumbos are great for cultivating balance.

Can I ask, MM, did they ever warn you of the possibility something like what happened to Dylan could happen with a planned c-section? With the emergency one, all I got was "You could die, we might have to take everything out, but you'll probably be fine.. oh, and the SCBU staff will deal with the baby" - no mention of what might be wrong with him.

They did with me this time. Last time it was a case of I was simply told we have to get the baby out now or you are going to die and a sheet of paper waved in front of me. I didn't even know I was having a general, in fact I didn't even realise I was having a section till they started shaving me! This time my consultant took the time and explained everything to me, the pros and cons of an elective section and an induced VBAC. The section was the best option.

But I also have to say that most of you knew I was expecting a horrendous pregnancy given what happened with the boys, but all in all, it wasn't that bad. And she is here, she is healthy, I'm healthy and she was my longest pregnancy! Given that my first consultant told us to terminate... I am so bloody glad I didn't :D:D She was a shock especially as I had been told not to have any more, but is a little miracle. I think what is meant to be will be.

Don't you remember by rant after I came back from that holiday in Feb with OH's best mate, his wife and son and I was outraged at the "oh, when he's one, he can start having proper food like fish fingers, chicken nuggets and smilie faces"?! :eek:

Incidentially, same said "best mate" still hasn't been to visit.. his best mate's son almost dies and he can't bother his !!!! to visit for over 14 weeks?!! :mad: Keeps txting asking when OH "is allowed to go out and play squash" but never any mention about visiting to see Rhys or asking how he is..
