    tss/Maz its 3 with the sicky family :)
    MW85 - woo for new laptops :) We use huggies superdry but pampers babydry are good too, next size up can help but we had a few nights the other week where Ed even filled the next size up :confused: I think he was saving all his weeing for in bed :p

    Anyone just seen the thing about the 'banana test" and weaning? they completely missed the point and basically the 'expert' they had reinforced the old fashioned view

    oh and photos, click the A-z giude in the FAQ and look for 'images' :)

    I had to edit it twice too :confused: I think it was the quotation mark that did it, lets test !!!!!!! 'banana

    I also though if they bother to do ANY research on the item they'd realise that they were saying a baby should be able to sit up and hold food as is the basic rules of blw and that there IS evidence that suggests early weaning can damage the child

    EDIT - it is when you put " before banana :confused:

    afternoon:D ta for reassuring message last night xxx

    just been to my fave mum's group and discovered that after next week it's off til the week beginning 11th Jan :( Gonna have to find me some new fun:)
    You're very welcome :)

    I always thought it was a nuisance that groups closed through the school holidays when they were groups for under school age children... But one of the groups I go to stays open through school holidays but older children aren't welcome... And that somehow feels worse...:o

    oh yes, that does feel worse :( Is it because the older children are too grown up for the activities or something? Wracking my brains to think why they can't come...

    They've obviously picked up a snippet of information and made a rush job of a news peice out of it... They could have done so much better...

    Because it's a 'newborn' group... I think they worry that they might go barging around treading all over the babies, which is fair enough given the behaviour of some older children at a group I went to wednesday... But my girl's a good girl... I can kind of see both sides... Doesn't make it any nicer though...

    Big kids come to my toddler group in the holidays which is fine when its sunny and they play outside but when it's not I don't go because some of them are badly behaved little scrotes that run round/break things/use inappropriate language etc :rolleyes:
