I must be super lax mummy then, All my kids eat the same thing and 95% of the time that will be exactly what me and dh are eating, I don't use low salt anything, but don't add salt!

Me too.

I took Charlotte to McD's for a cheeseburger and chips on Friday evening for convenience reasons. It's not a regular thing and usually she has some thing I've cooked from scratch for tea, so I can't see the harm in the odd fast food meal.

If I posted that on the main board, there's a few holier than thou mothers that would pop up and say I'm a bad mother for taking her there *insert a rolling eyes smilie*

But you have to do things like that sometimes, otherwise she will binge on rubbish when she's older as it's always been withheld. :cool: And you can't avoid everything, and I personally wouldn't want to! Mine don't like McD's but love going Pizza Hut, I know it's the bl00dy ice cream machine.

philips just informed me jayden was asleep from 12 til about 4:30 so guess who is wide awake *rolleyes* ...

Just to be clear, I am not a "holier than thou" mother who looks down on anyone for their choices. I have just said that the whole salt issue confuses me and I know I need to relax a bit. I am not an active worrier about anything really. I was just sharing my resolve to relax the salt content thing a bit to make life easier for myself.
Although Holly is a bit younger than some of your children, so I wouldn't take her to McDs at 10 months! But if you choose to do so on occasion, then that's fine. I don't judge anyone for it.

Mel - If T isn't crying in pain at being constipated, I would probably just leave her. Some babies can go several times a day, and some only go once a week as far as I know, so it doesn't necessarily mean she is constipated.

She's FF ladybird, I have tried a little tummy massage and cycling legs etc.... And i'm not sure she can have any of those things Tara, she's not even 4wks wks old yet.

Fitz - Yep, she does keep crying in pain:(

Fitz, I wouldn't think for one second that you are a holier than whatever Mummy and I don't blame you for being careful and I certainly would give McD's to Maddy!!! I can't even bear to give her a fruit bag in there as the grapes are whole and I'm too scared.
