    the PL for taras SIL they're sending him the forms to fill in and be sent back .. nothing had been sorted coz she was born early but SILs work was expecting him to go to work and fill in the forms before they would pay him x
    He should have 'booked' it 5 weeks ago (aka 15 weeks before she was due)csh's link has all the answers :)

    That was exactly Alex yesterday. Has J had any teeth come through yet.
    One of Alex's bottom ones broke through the gum about a week ago, but there looks like there are so many more just waiting to pop through. Just wish he's get them all out and over with. Its so horrible, when you just cant do anything for them.

    not yet but his top 2 and bottom 2 are very prominent under his gum and he has a lump on his gum nearer the back which looks like a tooth.

    He won't take anymore than 3ozs per bottle - he has now fallen asleep cos he's worn out from crying but if I put him down he cries :(

    Just wished they blumming hurry up & break thru

    Jenny - Balham Leisure Centre do parent & baby swim time on Tues afternoons from 2 -3:45pm. I know you were asking about swimming! Tomorrow will be my 1st time so I can report back if it's nice :)

    Thanks Aless, I rang Tooting as Bruno suggested but the woman I spoke to said I would just have to go to the normal family sessions. I wont be able to go tomorrow as Erin has her second set of jabs but let me know how you get on :)

    I've read the other thread too and TBH it seems to be getting a bit childish. Each to their own, whether they BF or FF for whatever reasons. Reading that thread actually makes me feel guilty for being proud that I'm still BFing at 7 months, even though I have no issues with however anyone wants to feed their baby :(

    pp nobody should be made to feel guilty on whatever they decide as parents ... i think that was suppose to be the point ..

    if your anything like me you feel guilty enough about everything else as parents .. in my case lack of money and not being able to do things .. feeding is not an issue unless jayden starts getting fussy x

    glam thats what i didnt like ... people dont have to be fluffy .. being themselves is good enough for me x

    I don't think people need to be fluffy, but at the same time some sort of awareness that other people have feelings and can be hurt is always nice.

    I wouldn't flat out tell someone I thought they were being a bad parent. If they were asking for advice I'd give my opinion - but if they were already engaged on a course of action and didn't want advice or opinions then I wouldn't see it as my place to comment. Sometimes I think we can all forget that a discussion about parenting methods can actively upset someone who's doing things in the way we say we don't like.

    IIRC, MrsT stopped posting in here because she made some comments about people having babies very close together right after a couple of pregnancies were announced. I was a bit upset on behalf of the pregnant ladies because their happy news was overshadowed by a debate on babies in quick succession that it would have been very hard not to take personally. But everyone has their opinions and so long as they're not making personal attacks then vive la difference. Or something.

    :(:( Can you not join him for a free holiday?, Or would you mind if I did? :rotfl::rotfl:
    Do you think I can buy my baby a pink plastic purse? That would definitely cheer me up!! And when hubby is not talking to me I can go see Lee Mack :D

    There is a tool bag version available if you're worried about how macho he'll look with a pink purse containing a lipstick rattle and a bracelet. ;)

    on that other thread .. i say live and let live .. were all different so different opinions if you dont want or like opinions of other dont ask theres no need for sl@gging off other people or putting a distance between it all ...

    If we were all the same, and all had the same opinions, this would be a very short thread! :rotfl:
    :beer:
  • Aless - did you just delete a post???

    Why can't I see it anymore!!

    I was gonna say I am a hioty-toity snob and I don't use cloth nappies!!

    I remember when we took Josh to see Santa when he was 3, he was choosing his toy afterwards and chose a shopping basket! He loved nothing more than going to see my grandma with his shopping basket and beads round his neck!

    He's now on to Lego and SpongeBob!
