meant to ask... kian has started to grind his teeth together. not all the time but its like he discovers he can do it so does till he finds something else to do. obv we tell him 'no, dont do that' but he's not going to understand that anyway. anyone any suggestions on how to get him to stop it?

Have you noticed if he does this in his sleep as well?

Aw jillie - bless you / K we knew he would get there in the end.

Benjamin loves small pieces of veg as a snack every few days I boil up a load of potato / parsnip / carrot / whatever and put in in a tupperware container in the fridge. Then Benjamin goes in the fridge gets the container out and helps himself to little cubes of veg....

....until the container is empty and he brings it to me in tears :rotfl:

:eek:
Have you any idea how jealous I am? S will only eat veg if they are covered in some kind of sauce or gravy! I tried feeding him salad the other day and he leaned forward and spat each mouthful out onto the high chair tray

He does eat Birds Eye vegetable fingers though

no, but to be honest once he's asleep (at home) i dont check on him for very long. i just open the door slightly and make sure he's ok. havent noticed it when he's been asleep and we're out. i only noticed it on Sat that he was doing it. will mention it to his key worker at nursery tomorrow. as she may hear him doing it when he's asleep

CAFC - don't let those comments get you down I hate how people always assume any thin person 'must' be starving themselves :mad:

I know.... its just really hard because I feel like I'm being judged, and that I should be eating more, but I physically just cant or dont fancy it and it upsets me that even though I'm eating the same amount as I was pre pregnancy, its suddenly become this massive issue now that I'm a mum......

And it also upsets me that people think I'm that shallow/unstable/mental that I would consider starving myself to regain my figure....... thats probably more what offends me.....:o

I struggle to get Benjamin to eat meat most of the time. On saturday I gave him a hotdog (full of goodness ) and he took the sausage out and ate the bread....then he found out that if he waved the sausage it bent a bit so he waved it around for a while. Had a bite and shouted Mamma, Mamma, Mamma and spat it out for me :rotfl:

He loves fruit and veg and would eat dry bread cobs all day long strange boy! I just keep trying him with everything hoping that he will change his mind at some point.

He eats very little if I spoon feed him (other than chilli, which he bizarrely loves) he has to be able to eat it himself.



Edit - no-one is more shocked than us that our son likes to snack on veg!!! He won't eat crisps and mostly turns his nose up at chocolate - he is just a little strange!!

Hopefully he doesn't when he's asleep as it then means he's doing unconciously which is harder to deal with. At least if he's making a point of doing it, he can learn not to do it.

Let us know what the nursery say.

Jillie - Liam did teeth grinding to the point of making his gums bleed (and in his sleep too) He only did it around teething and only lasted a couple of weeks.

Exactly what i think. They always wake Lily up and its annoying.
They left me a message to tell me there is another viewing tomorrow at 9am! They dont even ask anymore thats 4 tomorrow now.

That's totally unacceptable. I would ring them back and say you can't do the 9am one because you haven't had enough warning (I'm fairly sure they have to give 24 hours notice) and that given you have three other viewings that day you need that time for actually living your life. (Obviously don't say "actually living your life" but pick something you need to do like visit friends or do the shopping or cooking or whatever.) I would also say that the number of viewing per day is unreasonable and give them one time for each day that they can use for viewings eg. Tue 3-4pm, Wed 10-11pm, Thurs 2-3pm etc. I don't know if Lily has regular nap times but if so, tell them that a certain time is out because that is when your baby naps and the viewings wake her up. I can't understand why they aren't lumping them together as surely it would be in their interests to have a group booking so they aren't coming out multiple times aday to show people around. (Unless they are expecting you to show people round which is also unreasonable IMO.) I never had prospective tenants round when I rented but once I lived in a flat which was sold and the landlord arranged one group viewing where about a dozen people all came and looked round and that was it. (And they were all very polite and said thank you and apologised for disturbing me as did the landlord.)
