    EA, that sounds like the stuff OH gets given whenever he's had bits of metal in his eyes. It is such a pain to put on OH, I can't imagine trying to wrestle a baby!

    CAFC, glad to hear you've been enjoying the pram, your parents and cooking.

    CAFC cooking is relaxation for me when I can potter and it's not about getting food on the table. Sounds like you've had a lovely few days.

    Im going to have a mini rant.

    For Lilys eye infection they have given us a cream that we have to put inside her eye lid at the bottom. But the cream is the same thickness as Lanisoh and hardly comes out of the tube.

    How the hell am i meant to hold a baby down, keep her head still and her eye open whilst i put it in :mad:

    What were they thinking! Eye drops would of been so much better.
    Wait until she's asleep ;) I found that worked with Edgar, the cream we got was thick but wasn't as thick as lansinoh tho, have you checked the date on it just in case

    EA - an eye infection is urgent. Especially if it's a baby. They should give you one of the same-day appointments, no prob.

    I use a spare nurofen syringe, again I find he'll take it in his sleep best, my child does NOT like taking medicine of any kind!!:p

    *Whispers* Anyone wanting one of those highchairs we all recommend that come from the shop with the meatballs might want to check the stock of blue ones at their local store nudge nudge ;);) Guess where we are going tomorrow!

    We've had that cream EA, I know what you mean. I ended up washing my hands in anti-bac wash, then squeezing a line onto my thumb then sort of pressing it to Alex's eye and gently rubbed it in. It must have worked though as it cleared it up. All whilst trying to hold him down and keep him from shoving my hand out the way. Quiet a feat when you are doing it by yourself.
