At least your pool was heated SS - ours was 'heated' - by the flaming sun :mad: It was the only reason I picked that blooming hotel.


Stoopid FB won't let me upload piccies.

I completely agree with this! Aimee hasn't lost any teeth yet, she was 9 months before she got her first... She cut a back molar a few weeks ago...

I would have offered you the hair for your follically challenged daughter, but figured it's hard enough to wash mashed potato out of hair that's growing out of a head, let alone a baby toupe...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Benjamin looks like a real Dude in that pic Mfd!

Baby toupee :rotfl:

I'm glad it isn't just me that gets stressed when there's an OH running late. It kills me - I go to so much trouble to organise things so we really have just to get up, eat something, roll through the shower and into our clothes and on our way. But I asked him to take out the rubbish the night before and he didn't, so that all needed to be done, during which time I was feeding Molly and he was checking his email and not taking out the damned rubbish, then it went out and Molly and I were packed and ready and he was dismantling his computer setup to pack it and I was bouncing off the walls because we were running so late. And then he forgot his driving licence, so no car rental for us...

Oh, I forgot - sparks flew out of the engine of the plane we landed in in Tenerife!!!

Did you think to offer it on the fairy post for the more folically challenged babies?

Choppy, I think the only thing you can do is keep offering them to her... She'll have a go eventually... If you stopped offering them then they would be even more alien to her... I know Aimee's a bit older, but she always refused to eat brocolli... I always put it on her plate though and made her eat just 1 floret until eventually, she just started eating it with no fuss... Now I'm working on mushrooms

Yep, I think you're right. I'm not going to make a big deal of it, but just keep giving her some form of finger food during or after each meal, and hopefully she'll just start to eat it.

She's been like this about a month now, although is getting worse and it's pureed stuff she's refusing now too, as well as some of her bottles. I had her weighed two weeks ago though and she's still following her usual line so she can't be starving herself.

BTW, I don't blame Aimee for not eating mushrooms

MFD, our travel rep said that pools can be called heated if they have a heating system, but if they're outdoor pools they're unlikely to be turned on. We mostly took Molly to the indoor pool, we went briefly into the outdoor pool twice because I was swimming in it and she seemed thoroughly outraged that she wasn't getting to join in. She did make some hilarious squealing sounds when she realised that brass monkeys were bobbing around in it clutching their crotches.

He is a cool dude Krystal :cool: especially in your non-gay-buggy!!


Sami - I keep meaning to say. We picked up some Spanish baby paracetamol when Benjamin was poorly over there and you get a little syringe that attaches to the bottle and you only have to give 1.5ml - much easier to administer than calpol!

If you know anybody going to Spain it may be worth getting them to bring you some back (if Ed is still struggling with medicines?)

Knocked Benjamin out for 3 hours straight too :rotfl::rotfl:

3, I still had four baby teeth at 16 (had them taken out in an op under GA along with an impacted adult tooth, then had a brace for a few years to line them all up and fill in the gaps)

Don't worry too much if she doesn't seem to gain a lot of weight in the next few weeks, bear in mind that she's getting a lot more mobile and active... Using up all those calories that are going in... I also believe that if they were hungry they would eat... Some days I'm hungrier than others... It stands to reason babies are the same... Try not to stress over it...

Oh yeah, and the first time I took Aimee abroad she was 20months old and all she ate for the entire 2 weeks was fried eggs and toast in the morning and spaghetti in the evening... And towards the end of the second week she wasn't even eating that!!!

I can also remember going on holiday with my Nan and Ambag when I was about 5/6 and getting all homesick and not wanting to eat anything...
