thanks guys.

will be stocking up on different 'suitable foods' on fri.
looks like meals will be a little different in our household for a while anyway.

and another q...
K has a patch of dry,rough skin on his torso any ideas on what it might be?? not sure what to put on it so have put a little baby lotion on tonight

Benjamin has a few dry/rough patches and I use aqueous cream.

No such thing as 'suitable foods' most things are suitable - the most obvious chip shaped thing is a chip

No it doesn't lol
I never realised it would read like that sorry!

It didn't, i just used selective quoting and hoped

I was just about to post that the neighbours are being normal people tonight and not making any noise. But then the 'other side' are currently in their kitchen banging and clattering against my wall. But it wasn't them she went to see today. I'm wary of looking like a complete nutjob if i complain about them both at the same time, so i've been alternating. I don't get why they can't all be quiet at once, and for longer than an hour or so?

Omg i am so so so so sick of talking/typing/thinking about them LOL. I am boring myself to death.

Jillie - it sounds weird, but olive oil is really good for dry skin (and all natural too ), so might be worth a try. As Glaz says, speak to the doctor if you are worried, although in my experience they will just tell you to moisturise, and maybe use hydrocortisone if it flares up or looks sore (not medical advice, just what response we've had in similar situations)... I now have a variety of different moisturisers that don't seem to do a lot. At least prescriptions are free for little ones!

Now I must go to bed before I turn into a pumpkin. night all.

There was at one point some research into the link between traumatic births and autism, though not sure if this has been completed. They had noticed a correlation between forceps/ventouse deliveries and autism, and were hypothesising that perhaps the autism was operating even at that early stage to prevent the unborn child understanding the signals to get into the optimum position to come down the birth canal.

My DD was a ventouse delivery, and was born looking off to one side, so if the theory is right, even in the womb she wasn't good at maintaining eye contact with anyone!

So rather, a traumatic birth is linked to them being Autistic as opposed to the other way about? Makes sence if the brain is already wired to be a certain way. But then, would that mean that some people are wired that way but manage to re wire themselves? (as in the case of brain damage to certain areas of the brain forcing new areas to take over those tasks)

And I lost on the bidding with my shoes so stoopidly I'm crying so I'm off to bed with a drink and book. X

What were they like? Do you have a link and maybe we can track down something similar?

Mmmmm, curry was eaten, very fast!

Just looking at the suitcases in the hallway is making me tired, so I have shoved them all against the wall and willl deal with them tomorrow...after hoovering and cleaning the hire car and returning it.

We managed to get our car back today too:j:j:j:j The guy phoned just as we were on the M62, to say it was ready and working.....so went straight through to Liverpool and collected it:) We then stopped off at Halfords and bought a Sat Nav as we had a bit of a shouting match when we got lost in York, and K chose that moment to start screaming for apparantly no reason, which ended up in dh pulling over and storming off out the car.......

Have flicked briefly back through a few pages got the gist that V is walking and Charlotte went big toilet on her own :T Clever girls :T

Hi Mel.

I'm pleased your holiday was a happy one. I might ask you for the details of where you went at some point.
It looks like V & Kai started decided to start walking together.

Dunno, Amber has that right now. Too much time in vests? Johnsons moisturiser seems to work.

It's been recommended to me but I thought it looked a bit arty-farty.
But, reading on, you've bought it. I'd be interested to see what you think.
J always has his hands over his ears, unless it's just him & me in the house.





I didn't 'do' BLW as that also sounds arty-farty to me. But I did put a bit of whatever I was having on her tray to eat. If she ate it good, but she enjoyed playing with it too.
I think the only things to worry about are honey & nuts at that age.

Will let you know, and can pass it on when I'm done

BLW sounds arty-farty to me too. I have a personal dislike of it due to another forum who harp on about it non stop and how it is the only way to do things. Specially as they then go on to say 'we used purees at the beginning but it's still BLW', no, it's not, thats just weaning?

And I'm not saying anything bad about BLW, I understand, and agree with it in principle, but I don't see that it is all that different from regular weaning, I mean, babies eat finger foods anyway. Just seems a bit too much like a fancy label and the new 'in' thing to do.

Theres a man on the telly wearing make up and he looks the airy-fairy type and I want him to cry because I just know it's waterproof mascara (he looks the type) and I bet he does full on snot too.

My_Fathers_Daughter

Meh - I never called it BLW - my mother and MIL would have a fit!!!

I just said I was gonna let him feed himself.

But I only did 1 or 2 meals a day - I wasn't a 'pure' BLWer :cool:


Edit - I even fed him banana off a spoon in the early days because it was cleaner LOL
