MSE Newborn to 1 year (& beyond!) baby club 2

I'm a bit concerned about shoes (when the time comes). Freddie's got really fat feet, not wide or long, but high if you see what I mean. I don't see how he'd get a shoe on. Is this normal or have I got a mildly deformed baby?

A high instep? There will be a shoe for him, it might just be tough to find a pair that's all. Most reputable places (JL are good) won't sell a shoe they don't feel fits properly so all you need to do is take him in and let them work there magic.

I'm sure they'll find something there are so many types of shoe. If you're concerned maybe just mention it to your HV next time, but I'm sure it'll be fine as long as it doesn't affect his walking.

My 15 mth old is a size 4F not sure if that is particularly big or small. I got her some white sandals in the Clarks sale for hollibobs the other day. I'm tempted to paint her toe nails, but thinking that might be a bit Big Fat Gypsy wedding!

Did you get a date for Noah's referral to the paediatrician, Sammie?

Yes we went to see her on Wednesday. She said she is more concerned that he doesn't respond to any noise, she rang a bell and he completely ignored her, he doesn't look at you when you call him and basically ignores everyone and carries on what he's doing. He is being referred to a speech and language therapist and having an ear test in the next few months. Fingers crossed everything is ok, I'm sure it is.

I have a grumpy baby too!
He's puked his juice everywhere and keeps throwing his ball under the tv unit and screaming because he can't get it back out!

Where did you go camping Sammie? Yep that sounds like the same grumps. Mine keeps just sitting and whining and not wanting to be put down

It has been quiet here trouble is I'm always on the run and don't have much time to post... I do follow though as much as I can.

I don't have fb either and no intention of getting it!

We went to Bashley Park. It had so much for the kids it was fab.

My friends think I'm the only crazy person not on facebook so I'm glad there are others!

Sounds similar to my LO. At Clarks they measure width as well as length, and they (obviously!) have you try different shoes until you find the ones for you :cool: Some didn't work for her at all, whereas others were perfect. I wouldn't buy shoes off the shelf in places like H&M - cheap and cute as they are, I don't trust that they'd be comfortable enough for her, so until she's old enough to let me know, we're sticking to the more expensive option!

Until we went to Clarks, I didn't know that you can get shoes in e.g. 4F and 4G - the number being the length of the foot and the letter being the width. So you actually have a better chance of finding a good fit than you do with adult shoes (or indeed, children's shoes in most other places).
