Afraid that looks like a negative to me Rebekah. Fingers crossed it's a dodgy test and your digi proves more fruitful.

You see what I mean about the big white bit? lol. Should it be on that rather than to the left of it?

Hi Everyone

Is anyone listening to radio 2 with the debate about whether to have your kids pram facing you or facing out? I think I would like them facing me, but it was so funny, the expert on it who was pro facing you was like "why bother having a baby if you aren't going to engage with them" but mind you her opposition was Katie from the apprentice so I don't really blame her lol. Katie's argument was "if your kid faces you they will ask you for permission for everything forever" lol

I totally agree with that. It breaks my heart to see children facing forward, ignored, and it has been shown to reduce their communication skills because to learn language you have to hear language and be given the opportunity to speak it.

I have DD facing me and she is 2. I had her in a sling for the first six months so she was right up close to me and I talked to her all the time, and then she faced me in the pram and I talked to her all the time, and now SHE talks to ME all the time! :rotfl: She has the language skills of a 3-4 year-old.

We know we have a major problem in this country with children not being able to talk when they go to school, and a large part of this is that parents don't talk to their children, and you can see why not - whenever I've tried DD forward-facing I cannot hear a thing she says to me, and she can't hear me.

I think it is really important that they should parent-face. I ask my DD which way she wants to face and she nearly always says 'at Mummy'.

sorry for the rant! I'll get off my soapbox now :cool:

It should be just to the left of the control line, about the same distance as that between the control and blue part.

Oh so further up than the white band then! I was looking in completely the wrong place ... Dumb cow.

Ok I feel like a right plonker now. You can all go to bed lol.
