My parents house has one set of stairs with a mini landing then a small set of stairs coming off either side. We used to have loads of fun jumping across and could never understand why my Mum used to shout at us!

Lol this sounds a bit like the top of my stairs which jake is always jumping across, i dont think he understands why i tell him not to either lol!!

The CM has a stairgate and Benjamin shouts at her to close it if she leaves it open!!


There is no way that Benjamin would tolerate a baby prison!

3 - just found the other safety gate that asda had on amazon. It's the metal extending gate which fixes into wall, so definitely not the one you're after. Sorry

This is the one we got from the baby event for £7.50 when I was pregnant. http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us/Safety/Gates-and-Playpens/Lindam-Flexiguard-Safety-Gate(0072557)?cm_mmc=Feed-_-Google%20Base-_-N%2FA-_-Lindam%20Flexiguard%20Safety%20Gate

I do wish we could have got S to tolerate some form of cagedness, but he does seem to have decided he is very much free range! He wont even stay in his high chair for long now, unless very very tired or very very starving hungry!

Interestingly though, he doesnt seem to want to get upstairs in the CM's house. Perhaps it is because she has never taken him up there?

I only used them as they were already here, it was easier for my mum too not having to chase Katie up and down the stairs or out of the kitchen.

We've ended up teaching Katie that when I'm opening the oven or lifting a hot pan she has to go and stand on the carpet, which means go and stand at the kichen door out of the way.

OH has been sick yesterday and today... yesterday she was nauseous, threw up while out with E, lots of stomach pain, possibly a bit feverish. Today, nausea subsided over the course of the day and is gone, but shortness of breath and occasional faintness have got worse. She refused point-blank to go to the doctor, then finally an hour ago she's like "maybe we should go to A&E I'm not sure". So we do NHS Direct and they don't think it's an urgent life-threatening issue but they recommend we go A&E tonight, so OH won't go (Friday night in A&E = 4+ hours with drunk injuries, and our neighbours babysitting a traumatised E til 3am) but "might go in the morning" if she still feels bad.

Gaaah.

They may have had some of them but I couldn't be sure. it doesn't look like a 'proper gate' iykwim lol. Would be too big for mine still

Right I'm off to spend some quality time with DH and watch the next episode of 24. (just bought series 1-4 box set) See you all tomorrow!

The baby prison is for the new baby, there's no way I'd get Caitlyn in there!!! She's well and truely free range... As soon as the buggy stops she's fidgeting to climb out...

Bruno i would get OH to call the maternity hospital and talk through with someone there, at least they will have an idea rather than sitting in a hosp where they dont have a clue(my experience of this!). they could even make an app for her to see someonw in the morning or have someone come out and check her over.
Is she eating/drinking enough as i know i feel sick and awful if i have went any period of time without food.

The big village festival has started here and i would love to be at the village party at the end of the road but cannot get a babysitter there is a lot of fun and activities planned for the week so it should be a lot of fun! there are kart races, a huge foam fight in the park and a walk to the local deer farm for venison sausages!!!(theres a lot more but i cant remember )

I also dont have stairgates as Charlie pulls them down, the kids have been taught to come down them backwards, they dont really go upstairs through the day more later when the bigger ones are home.

Hi Caz How are you?

Bruno I agree - i'd phone the maternity unit and not A&E. Thats assuming it works the same in your area? Here, once you're pregnant, you bypass A&E. (Which is handy on a Friday night!)
