    could she be teething? Not sure what your thoughts on calpol are, but in this situation I usually try a little to see if it helps.

    Ha! I have tried, changing the nappy, infacol, paracetamol, bonjella and a bottle! When they scream I'm more of a 'shove as much down their trap as you can till they seem better' type :D

    Actually... I do have whiskey.... she is still screaming *wails with her*

    Is it bad that I laughed at this. Will you remind me when Leila is 17 months and i'm tearing my hair out!:p
    Yikes! How do you deal with that?

    xx

    It's not bad at all Mooki, we often can't help but laugh and we're trying to teach ourselves not to so as to avoid encouraging him...
    He is really a good-natured baby most of the time so we deal with it by briefly padding him or taking away hurlable objects so he doesn't hurt himself/anything else, while distracting him. He'll go from angry shouting to uncontrollable giggles in 3 seconds if you flip him the wrong way up and blow on his tummy ;p Or he will happily spend 2 minutes standing and shouting "UP" and then squatting and shouting "DAN" - etc :)

    Elle, I bet you're over the moon. Yay

    Tia, I hope she settles for you soon. Its awful when you cant stop it for them.

    r mac....just so you know i still get the 'no' now. Here is a conversation ive just had with my eldest DD on the phone. She left me a letter and disappeared to her nannas. She received a letter today showing her Moc exam results and her target grades.

    Me: Why didnt you tell me there was such a gap between your Moc result and your target result in Science?

    DD: Dunno

    Me: You seem to remember to tell me when you've done well. Do you think it might have something to do with you not revising enough?

    DD: No, its not me you should be questioning. You need to ask the teachers why they set the target grade too high:cool:
