i'll remember that for next time motm i think it stems from being bullied by school kids and my mother that when i found my backbone to stand up against things i go too far funny thing is its always always always the girls that have the problem with it .. men just get it straight away ... generally why i like hanging with the guys then i do girls .. expect on here of course your all lovely x

It wasn't advice really, more curiosity.

I had a poor childhood too, as it seems a fair few have here. I'm pretty straight with people, although thaw once I get to know them. My girls and Lucy aside that is. I'm a sap with them :cool:

I've always gone by the motto - Some people need a kick up the butt, some need an arm around them. People react differently to each method. I know if someone tried to kick me up the butt, i'd kick them back - harder

Thanks krystal for the post explaining how the helpline works. It just rang and rang i prob didn't wait for the end though. I hate ringing people at the best of times so you know its bad when i don't put it off. Did hope someone could give me some ideas here but i think i missed the boat there's been loads of bf talk lately. I will just have to ring my hv on monday just seems so far away. Don't know what's happened everything was perfect but now its so hard. I've obviously messed up somewhere.

Sorry hun, have you tried ringing again today? You can try just using the side of your finger to nudge her chin down a touch and her mouth should open a bit wider. When you start, make sure your nipple is level with her nose so she has to tip her head back a touch to latch on, her mouth will automatically be a bit wider than if she's tilting her head forward...

I can't talk really... Caitlyn's queen of just slurping it in... :rolleyes:

ETA, out of all the baby groups I've ever been to with either of my girls, booby groups have always been the most welcoming, less cliquey

elle, we have loads of unseasonal clothes too, but most of them were gifts. Someone gave us a 9-12 month snowsuit -

And a lovely snow suit it is too

MOTM - I did voluntary work in a Playgroup before getting an Apprenticeship (which included an NVQ) while working at a nursery. What do you want to know?

Well, 16yo did some voluntary work in one for 3 months, but it was never with any intention of a career. Just trying it out and she may go back to it.

Lucy working in one - she has no kids - will that be looked down on - no experience?

Working in a GP surgery, occasionally with the mother baby groups will be a plus for her?

Is the training in house or will she have to travel?

Will these NVQ's be just in the workplace or will it be something she brings home too?

Thanks for any advice.

Really whingy baby here so must go!!!

The peach is apparantly a fair bit lighter than the pear, also I don't like 3 wheelers, so wouldn't want a single front wheel anyway. Oh and apparantly, from reviews I have read, the handle is 'nicer' on the peach!!

I really need to find somw bad reviews!!!!

Harley, concerning the dentist... I have kind of the same problem, mine is upstairs too... I went for a check up when Caitlyn was tiny, I left my pram right in front of the reception desk and lay Caitlyn on my tummy while I was being seen to... There didn't seem to be any other option No idea what we'll do next time... She's not likely to stay on my tummy again now...

And Weezl, if you're around? Caitlyn just boffed a touch and it reminded me about Fergie's little problem lol...

If you're concerned then do ask your health visitor (you know this lol) but my neice used to bring back approximately 20% of anything she ate until she was well over a year... Milk and solids... There was no medical reason for it, she was just classed as a sicky baby... My nephew was quite sicky to, just to a lesser extent...

The older ladies I encountered had thier own children, the younger ones didn't. A lot were also ladies who got into childcare after working with the elderly. I never noticed any lack of respect to those who aren't parents.

Any experience with babies, kids or parents is a good thing!

I went to college one day a week, I think this is the standard thing. Lessons and work at college, and observations at work.

There was supposed to be research and homework for college, but if someone is reasonably bright, they'd be able to do most of it at college. I completed the two year apprenticeship in 8 months (decided I wanted to get married instead!) and didn't do any work outside of the classroom. The work was very, very easy.

Well, Lucy is 28. I consider her young Younger than me anyway

Is that one full day a week and was it immediate after starting?

She won't have any issues with the work, she's very intelligent. I hope she wouldn't stop after 8 months and want marriage though

Thanks for the help.

It was a full day at college, and four full days at nursery. It was a fulltime apprenticeship so perhaps things would be different with part time work. I know our preschool ladies had to find holiday work as they were required to work fulltime. There might be more self study if it is just an NVQ - I did an NVQ, and about a dozen certificates.
