    krystal id be having words if i was you that takes the mick x
    I kind of did... When his wife opened the door, I saw him lurking behind her and I just blurted out "you could have done this!" She said, "Oh I had to wait in for <son>" so I just kind of nodded my head towards him and she looked back, at him and went "oh..."

    How scary Tia, hope the police get the guys! Society is going right down the toilet isn't it...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Our local A&E now have a police patrol at weekends too!

    I remember a few years ago my Aunt telling us that she was assaulted at the Glasgow southern general A&E (she's a nurse) and everyone was shocked. Now it's so common nobody bats an eyelid.

    Before that depresses me.... kids have calmed down :D

  • Oops. I woke Izzy up from her nap and made the mistake of telling her we would go to the allotment in her wellyboots later. She thinks later is NOW and doesn't want to wait for my cake to cook. Distraction time!

    Have you tried feeding him in different positions, some babies don't like lying on one side (can be a sign of an ear infection) so he may feed cross cradle on one side and rubgy ball on the other

    SS, I forgot to say, I have put in a pair of red hop'n'squeak shoes that Amber has just grown out of. They are a little scuffed up because she wore them outside a couple of times, but the sqeaks are great and Molly needs squeaky shoes.

    *sob* I fell while carrying Amber!

    And worse, I feel so bloody guilty for falling while I was carrying her!

    Thank you lovely lady :grouphug:

    And :eek: Don't feel guilty, it's not like you did it on purpose and it sounds like you did yourself all sorts of mischief trying to make sure she wasn't hurt.

    When your OH gets in can you take a bath to ease your sore places? I'm glad he's ok and stayed in the bus, very impressed with his presence of mind with the CCTV and :eek: at the stabbing. But it sounds like Amber's already forgotten the fall and that's fantastic.

    Hi Freebie Queen, just echoing the advice to try feeding lying down. Molly had a phase of preferring the right boob too (and yes I did walk in circles for a while) but it evened out (hehe) over time.

    Booksale was a lot of fun and an impromptu social event - just about every English speaker I know or their partner was there :rotfl:

  • If he has a cold, try getting some baby vick (check its ok for his age) from boots, you can get one called "snufflebabe" and smear a little of it on your breast, on the part that is under his nose.

    He may be really congested and finding it hard to feed?
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
  • Hi Freebie!

    And finally - I have a RL mummy friend who successfully BF her son well past his first birthday using only one boob...so it can be done....

    Hi freebie!

    My little one is 11 months on Sunday and he had been breastfed from just 1 boob for the whole time so it's not too much of a big deal if he really doesn't want to feed from 1 side ;).

    And yes, I am VERY lopsided :rotfl:


    David is through to the last 16 of a cute baby/child/family competition. He gets a professional photo shoot on Sunday (free :j) and then the photos go to a public vote. I am going to be begging for your help soon :D. I think it was this photo that I entered ....
