    ITV lunch news at some point in a bit will have an "expert" on to tell us that letting babies cry is bad for their health.

    SS - will writing a complaint make you feel any better/take your mind off delayed lunch? Watch this "expert" telling irish mothers that you shouldn't let a baby feed on demand and should get them in a routine from birth! :eek: http://www.tv3.ie/videos.php?video=21559&locID=1.65.74
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Sami.. I love thoe 'experts.. I do wonder what they would have done with DD1 though who screamed 24/7 for months and months on end.. NOTHING shut that child up.. she screamed consantly..she was 6 months old before her dad held her because she hated him.. she only wanted me, and carried on screaming when I held her/fed her/changed her.. if she had been first we wouldn't have got a number 2!!

    sorry forgot to add onto my last post: any of you in Sussex or that can get a train to East Croydon station easily are more than welcome to come to IKEA with us! The more the merrier! Maz, I'm not sure if you drive or how far it is for you :o.

    Sorry Aless, its a fair trot for me and next week is my last week before I go back to work so busy busy I'm afraid... I knew I would miss out on 'meets' again this time. V jealous of the northern ladies:sad:

    Caitlyn was like that for her first 2 months Pigpen... We didn't call her miserable baby for nothing ;)

    Hammy, you might be OK... I've squashed them into an envelope small enough to pass for a first class stamp (of which I have 1 in my purse) just depends if it will squeeze through the little board in the post office lol... I shall pop in on my way to the school...

    And nice try... But no cigar... (or bag ;))
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    AND now I've had my lunch and am just waiting for the monster baby to awaken so we can go buy a bike lock, check the mailbox, take out the rubbish and perhaps do something else too.

    I wonder where one might buy a bike lock?!

    Krystal - Yeah scabby area but it could just be a Scottish thing. She started nursery last September and must of had about 7 packs already. She came home with another one yesterday!

    Whats surestart? I know my friend got babygates installed in her house for free but thought it was the council that did it! That's snot fair, I had to buy mine lol.
    Can't believe they pay for driving lessons though! Idris has had near 20 lessons, probably, some were double long lessons. Can't remember, btu it costs an utter FORTUNE. Up here anyways!1
