Interesting article. I've just got to this bit:

In 2002, nearly 30 per cent of babies in UK hospitals were given supplemental bottles by hospital staff, and nearly 20 per cent of all babies were separated from their mothers at some point while in hospital.

:eek: Why would one in five babies need to be taken away from their mothers? I actually wrote in my birth plan that Alice would be accompanied at all times by either me or OH but I didn't think it was that common for babies to be taken elsewhere.

That is actually very interesting, a lot of it is a bit one sided, but the idea of interference with BF is interesting to me. Especially with Amber in SCBU being made to wait 4 hours when I was ready to feed after 3. I've always felt there was too many 'rules' for something that should be natural.

Just gave Ed his 2nd bath in 24hrs!! He usually only has 2 or 3 a month!

Woohoo! Amber will be happy to know she is not the only smelly baby out there! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And can I just quickly nip in that I have given up even pretending that I make my own baby food, Amber has Heinz mums own jars. So yes, I am a big fat hypocrite and I eat yellow snow and smell of poo Got 9 of the 7month+ for £4.00 (or maybe £4.50, I forget) in asda Bargaintastic!

Alex had Mums own Creamy porridge last night. Because i couldn' t be arsed to do the powder type porridge thing. Too much milk, not enough, too much milk, not enough = Too much porridge.

Nowt wrong with jars. Am off to Sainsburys after work as its 1/3 off baby stuff. And they usually include the food. Alex seems to like the Plum range and Ellas Kitchen. Whoever she is?

FWIW I bought a brand new one for Lexi, as we too are all open plan and have no doorframes I ebayed it when I was done with it and made £7.00 - that was xmas though and they were sold out everywhere so might have helped but they dont seem to drop in value I think someone got a good deal on mumsnet or something though.

That was me. £30 Bargain Rainforest Jumperoo. Yes I am still harping on about it.

Edit: T'was Netmums

K was taken from me on my 2nt.
he'd had the 'jitters' from birth and was struggling to feed. so he was taken away for some tests and i presume was given food but tbh i never asked as when they brought him back i was never so pleased in my life to see someone.

dont know what caused the jitters though.


come to think of it i really should see bout reading all my notes with someone to fully understand everything that happend the 2 of us

tiamai_d

It's the mums own ones and so far they look more like real food than the others. And Amber DEVOURS them!

Can I be all defensive and say that as a poor put-upon mother of 3 (4 including the one I'm married too) I barely have time to cook for us let alone cook, mash, squish and ok, it's the DEFROSTING that gets to me. A freezer full of stuff and I forget to bring it out.

But yeah, the jars work out cheap.

And then you pop tea lights into them for when you sit out the back with the neigbours

J had to go for blood sugar test at 4hrs, 6hrs, 12hrs & 24hrs old. They didn't tell me I could go with him for the first 2 so he was taken off me :mad:
I went the other times in my sexy nightie cos I forgot to pack my dressing gown :rotfl:(it wasn't remotely sexy!)

Jack was given Forumla supplements because he just wasn't interested in my boobs at all - in fact they were trying to push it on quite a few mums.

Yeah but then Mummy gets the leftover porridge - not that there ever is any in this house! Jack is a gannet!

I think someone has swapped my baby - he is being really mischevious and has a huge grin on his face! He was in the Jumperoo and managed to pull his arm out of his sleepsuit (:o) and vest and was chewing on it through the neck hole! Just popped him in bouncy chair and he let out the loudest trump EVER and laughed :rotfl:

They made me leave LO when I had a shower. Will not let them do that next time.

They pushed formula on me, but luckily I was able to refuse. They didn't like that though.
