what does everyone do with their LO during the day??

tax credits are usually backdated to the Monday after you first applied
Battery hens are vaccinated against salmonella usually so the cheapy (no that was not a pun!) eggs are fine too.. I'd reckon the organic free range are probably not ok if anything will have bacteria it will be those!
Tara.. prem babies regularly have apnoea.. they just forget to breathe. They are also often anaemic because they haven't built up the iron store which is normally laid down in the last 4-5 weeks of pregnancy so unless they are having formula which has extra iron they are usually given iron supplements from about 7 days old.. have the hospital been lapse in another area?? If she hasn't got a high temp she shouldn't have AB's because it is most likely a virus and AB's will just wipe out her immune system leaving her susceptible to other stuff.. I hate the way AB's are dished out like sweets!... Anyway.. hope P is on the mend soon xx (I've had 6 prem babies)LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

I try to get Jack to amuse himself alot
mostly because I don't want him totally dependant on me.
He is either on floor, in Jumperoo/door bouncer/bouncy chair whilst I carry on with housework. I talk to him the whole tim & play peekaboo or I dance/sing to him. We do songs once or twice a day wher he sits in my lap & I do all the actions. sometimes he sits on my lap while I'm on here or I get on the floor and play with him.
Jack has just enjoyed a crumpet with butter & bovril :rotfl:A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea
Where does the time go? :think:0 -
Hi pigpen. Is there anything you don't know?
Just asking

Tara, I'll be praying for Poppie xx
I am FOREVER getting zapped by Caitlyn... Especially when I have just put her in her coat... I recon SS sent me an electrically charged baby coat in the hopes that I would set on fire... I must have upset her somehow... :cool:Edgar keeps giving me electric shocks, commando crawling obviously builds a lot of static
Incidentally, Aimee's always had dippy eggs and runny fried eggs... The only time our yolks are set is when I miss time it... Like I did the other day when Caitlyn had her first boiled egg... There was crumbled egg yolk all over the place!!

Alice has been waking up too. The best we could get out of her was that she had been dreaming about her calendar and then the radiator gave her a fright.Charlotte woke again in the night. She was yelling "no no, Mammy come quickly" at the top of her voice at 5.30am. I went in and got into her bed and cuddled her in and she dropped back off. I'm sure it's nightmares but she can't tell you anything at the time and has forgotten she was awake by morning.
That's ridiculous.In other news, I've just seen this. There's a movement to redesign hotdogs to prevent kids choking on them. I think people would do better to encourage their kids to chew. Should we also consider redesigning chickens and fish so nobody chokes on the bones?
When I was doing my PGCE, the teachers used to complain about children not being able to use a knife and fork properly. I didn't believe it until a child we know started school not able to use them properly.xmaslolly76 wrote: »Mind you its suprising how many peole dont teach their kids to eat properly. I was talking to a dinner lady the once and she told me the majority of kids now when they start school/Nursery have no idea how to use a knife and fork properly.
We did/do apple and sultana porridge, egg with toast, baked porridge and pancakes.xmaslolly76 wrote: »What can i give bubs for breakfast? he is 6 months old and normally has the pakcet baby food mixed with his milk i do let him have the odd toast soldier as he goes crazy when i have toast. I know im naughty because of the gluten but he has had no adverse effects from it. Can he have eggs yet what do you give your babies ??
You can make apple porridge yourself. When Alice was having separate porridge (because we made hers with EBM), we used to make it once a week and freeze in little tubs which we could get out the night before and then microwave in the morning.xmaslolly76 wrote: »yay Thanks everyone that will save me a fortune in buying him special breakfasts although the apple porridge one is so yummy might just buy that one still hehe.
There's an actual Hundred Acre Wood???????????Oh oh oh!! We're staying right by the Hundred Acre Wood!!!
When Alice was nine and half months I gave her stuff from a dish with HM seafood sauce in (which therefore had raw egg because I used HM mayonnaise). We've only started giving her eggs with runny yolks relatively recently because when we did when she was ten months, we just ended up with loads of yolk everywhere which was really hard to clean up so we didn't think it was worth it. She had smoked salmon at her first Christmas (so eight months). Raw cheese is actually very hard to find so I've never given Alice that but I personally wouldn't be worried about avoiding it.those with older LOs When did you/do you plan to give them 'under cooked' eggs/meat and unpasteurised cheese?
I was trying to think of a way of saying something vaguely similar. In this case, I would have more issue with the other aspects of his behaviour which have been described than with the drug addiction in and of itself and I suspect that the other things are probably an influencing factor in other people's strong statements. Self destructive addictions can be broken and it is hard and people do need support in doing it but the effect on other people involved also needs to be taken into consideration.feelinggood wrote: »I think perhaps I think a bit different to the majority, but I'd allow supervised access, if he is clean and sober at the time. I think it is also worth remembering that addicts can and do recover, and can be fantastic parents when they are clean.
:grouphug: That must be very hard - especially coming not that long after his sister.jillie1974 wrote: »DH rang before, a friend of ours has died from an overdose.
not sure if on purpose or accidental. only talked to him valentines day.
We started giving Alice solids at seven months and she started actually eating them at ten months. (But I am weird and totally unrepresentative.)Can I ask the Bf'ers..when did you wean your lo's? Ethan turns 4 months next week :eek: I'm not in a rush to wean him just yet but I wonder sometimes if I'm starving him!!
Possibly people got you and Feelie mixed up because you now have similar avatars?But I wasn't here to comment, think you've gone a bit mental!!! :rotfl:
When I was a student my friend used to get very angry with me if I licked the bowl out when we had made a cake. I think perhaps she was overestimating the risk.are there people who don't eat cake mix? My vice is cookie dough...:rotfl:I'm afraid he gets his craziness from us He's way more 'normal' than Charlotte and Alice though, no invisible cows or sheep getting thrown at blinds in our house 
When Alice was Kian's age, I used to read books to her, go out for walks (to the local shop) and do day to day jobs whilst giving a running commentary. I would also make a point of sitting and reading books while she was playing so that she saw me doing it. I also used to just generally chat to her. And played with her toys with her (e.g. banging on a toy drum together).jillie1974 wrote: »what does everyone do with their LO during the day??Any question, comment or opinion is not intended to be criticism of anyone else.2 Samuel 12:23 Romans 8:28 Psalm 30:5

I ate all of it!
Could I get the recipe for it? Was really nice, I'm tempted to try it with an orange icing.Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0 -
