Any ideas how we do this please?

another thought, if they had to earn time playing by doing tasks around the house, that might limit it a lot, make it a treat, and help you out with jobs as well?

Hiya - about to go off for a nap, but wanted to just pass on link to this breastfeeding survey. It is a gmtv one and some of the questions sound lkike they are loaded to see how many people thing breastfeeding is a bad thing, so passing on to anyone with a normal sensibe outlook would probbly not be a bad thing

The baby's not old enough for video games - but I tell the husband no and he'll pout but do as he's told. Isn't that just how it works?

I'm being uber money saving this afternoon.. I've been comparing prices of lots of baby things (inc using all the vouchers I've got) and have written a list of what I need to get from where. Off to Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys later.. shame they all have baby clothes sections too!

Interesting about the 12mths question.
I've never breast feed and never will but it looks like they are fishing for an angle of older babies/toddlers being BF in public.

They could be opening up a whole can of religious/racist worms if they start going on about BF after 12 mths as the Quran(sp) states that women should nourish thier child from their bodies for a period of 2 yrs.

No idea in the point of this post, am simply musing

They are definitely digging around about older babies aren't they.... I didn't know that about the quaran though. (I don't know how to spell it either!)

I have had very little sleep, I still havent emptied all of my sitting room to start painting, I have no milk left for a cup of tea because Jasmine wanted to make her own breakfast and along with her very well soaked weetabix, she also had a half pint glass of milk to go with it !!!
Oh well, means I have to go to the shop and may accidentally add some chocolate to the milk purchase

That reminds me of when Alice made me a cup of "tea". She got a mug and a bottle of milk out, took them into the kitchen and poured out almost a full mug of milk for me. She then started shouting, "Help, help, something's on the floor!" because she'd managed to spill half of it on the carpet.

I breastfed Alice in public between the ages of 10 months and approximately 22 months and never had any problems. Occasionally someone gave a second glance presumably because it was an unexpected thing to see but other than that I never had any reaction at all.
