MSE Parents Club Part 10

Go Dylan, that is fab news!

Beenie- are you lurking? We NEED to know...:p

Ladybird- I thought of you today as we went to Winch. Any news on the job you interviewed for?

I'm just about to buy a Sophie as I'm worried about how sore H's fingers are getting where he gums them.

Possible stupid Q- has anyone ever taken a highchair to a restaurant with them? We're going out for a meal for my Nana's 80th (which also happens to be Mother's Day and Benjamin's 1st) and want H to sit in a highchair so we don;t have to hold him the whole time. He is fine in a normal highchair with straps, or an Antilop, but not one of these
as he slides about to much. If the place has these, do you think they'd mind if we took ours? I'd check first, but wondered if it was a mad request:o?

There was no indication of how they selected people for the study so I'm assuming it was a general population study rather than a high risk population study. Without them doing a high risk population study (which is what Jasmine would fall under based on what you say) I don't think there's any way of saying whether there is any effect for high risk people. But as with all these things, it's averages and there's lots of potential for confounding anyway - all you can do is minimise any risks you know about and can control.

Thanks, was just interested as there are a lot of medicines that we avoid as I am aware of certain contents making asthma symptoms worse, but calpol was never mentioned in any of the things I read

GISI, I wouldnt take a highchair in personally, if they have chairs like that, I would bring a blanket to set under her so that she didnt slide as much.

See Keira wears 4-5 knickers and 5-6 tights too, 1 of her coats is 18-24 months and drowns her still, she has a nice dressy purple coat, that's age 2-3 and still too big.

I wish they'd all just make the clothes the same! I would buy her nice dresses and things off ebay but I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of sending it back, though dresses seem to be okay as they don't need a waist!

So how tall is Alice? I really have no clue about percentiles! I rarely bothered to get Keira weighed :rotfl:

She's 3ft 2" and well 2 stone 5. Bet the NHS bmi thing says she is fat, Im away to check lol

Alice was 96cm (and 2 stone 2) last month so more or less the same.

I find with dresses the key things are tightness aorund the chest (which affects the ability to actually get the dress on and off) and the length. Mainly Alice grows out of them lengthwise first so I check the length rather than the official age of dresses when buying on eBay. Unfortunately most people don't list the length so you have to ask a question and half the people don't reply and if you send too many messages eBay decides it is suspicious activity and locks your account.

Most restaurants I've been in seem to have a mix of those wooden ones you posted a picture of, and the more supported ones.

No harm in phoning up and asking though


That's great MM, I worry about my friends baby he is almost 1 and does nothing, he doesn't try and walk, or move, he won't roll but she BARELY puts him on his tummy as "he doesn't like it" well so what! She just leaves him in his walker all day and she went of her head when I told her that probably wasn't good.

She also feeds him sausage rolls and baked beans for his supper, all the time. I've never given Keira a sausage roll and she is (almost)4, surely an 11month old doesn't need sozzie rolls! Oh yeah and she complains about when her baby comes back from her friends house (she has him overnight once a week for her my friends work) as his nappys are minging from all the spinach and veg she feeds him.

WELL SO!!.......Poor kid!

Why didn't I think if that, MM?

BM- One of the ladies at my baby group has a baby 2 weeks older than Henry (so 16 weeks now) and she gives her a Kit-Kat to suck on!!!!

Is there anything wrong with him BM ?? Other than having a mother that clearly doent understand how to look after him I mean !!

I'd just phone - I don't think it's weird.

GISI- I was going to say the same, DD sat up fairly early so we would put her in a highchair when we went out, however like you say, small babies slip around too much in those chairs. I used to use my coat to pad out the edges or a blanket like MM suggests. Alternatively if you have the antilop kind, do you have the inflatable insert? You could just take that with you instead?

Buttonmoons

Omg GISI. I am not a fab feeder by any rate myself, I let Keira have sweets and the occasional Mcdonalds but I literally can't bring myself to feed her processed crud like sausage rolls, burgers, cheap nasty sausages etc. Treat now and then is fine, but Keira would probably lamp me if I suggested she eat a burger :rotfl:

I remember at that friends house she gave Keira dinner with the other kids and Keira shouts out WHATS THIS? It was some character shaped spaghetti things and my friend was like "She doesn't know what those are? HAHAHA POOR KID"

Yes, my daughter is so hard done by that I don't feed her canned spaghettio's! I don't like them so I don't buy them :rotfl:

16 weeks and a kitkat :eek: That's shocking. I remember my mum kept trying to get me to give Keira a white choccy button and then she did it and I was LIKE GADS, because she sucked it first and had probs just had a fag and I was like "SPEWWWWWWW" don't ever do that again!

I mean I smoke, but in the kitchen, hanging out the window, I don't want a foosty smelling house and Keira knows not to come in when Im in there. I can't go outside because there is weirdos round here!!
