well done MM and Dylan

Do you reacon there is some kind of instinct that makes babies wake up when Mum is about to eat? I'm not sure there would be any benefit to it (other than once they are weaned I suppose!) Izzy has a sixth sense for it. I've nearly forgotten what it is like to eat hot meals!

Go Dylan :j:j

I'm pooped - really trying to get the house into some kind of order so I can just keep on top of it before and when I go back to work!

had more to say but can't remember!

Personally, I think that the sooner the problem(s) is identified and physio, OT etc started, the greater the potential for the child to improve and exceed expectations. With brain damage it's all about getting the brain to make the connections to do a specific movement elsewhere if the usual part normally responsible for that movement has been damaged.

Therefore, the parents who spend time at home working with the child has just as much right to be praised as the child and healthcare workers who get the child to reach whatever milestones reach.

And so, in conclusion, well done MM and Chris!!! (and all the other parents out there too)

Susan, do you know if there are any effects on kids that would have had asthma anyway ??

Jas has asthma, bad enough that we are in A & E 3-4 times a year for her to go on the nebuliser, bu she has never had an attack really badly thankfully. However, she was fairly pre-disposed to getting it as all the women in my mums family, including me had childhood asthma, and all started around 4 or 5 (which Jasmines did) and all grew out of it by the time we were early teens, so we have to wait to see if Jas does

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.

He is 8 months and is reaching the milestones of a 6 month old at the minute, which is beyond expectations. He was proper munching on the cookie, and only got a little bit before he dropped it, so the doc gave him another one and D didnt even wait to give him a smile like he normally would when you give him food, he just stuck it straight into his mouth like he had never been fed before :rotfl:

And thanks, I think it has to be one of my fave pics

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?

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.
