Most of mine were not sickers or dribblers but these 2 were/are awful.. I blame OH's genes lol. I used to put dresses over the sleepsuits for the girls or add jumpers/cardies for both genders.. I am reet lazy!
I hate stupid shoes and headbands people put on girls.. what is the point? Mine rarely wore hats let alone anything else!
Boots reheeled.. they can now be polished and put away for winter

I'm a fan of the barefoot-unless-footwear-is-actually-needed approach - at ter-twiddly-umpty-three years old, I still don't wear shoes if I can avoid it!:D
Just my two pennorth, and as I say, I know nowt about babies, but I'd have thought it best to leave their little tootsies free of constraint of any sort, unless they need something on them for warmth, until they start actually walking.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
agree with you totally about shoes not needed unless walking LW my 5 never got them till they needed them

OH outside playing in the garden.
I've shovelled up the recycling and kitchen rubbish and put both WM's on.
I can't believe how tired I am and I need to get dinner done and eaten before 5:40 when the girls are collected for church club.. I guess at least after that I don't HAVE to do anything other than get the 2 girls to bed.. freezer crap night though is Wednesday so that's a nice simple feeding really.
Suppose I should go get Dot out of bed or she'll not be sleeping tonight.
Moomin doing her maths homework online and then needs to get changed.
DS2 collecting Tiddles at 4:15.
Knitting and crap tv tonight I think! Is it just me that is getting really bored of Game of Thrones? It is all the same, every week.. booooooring!!!!!!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

My littlest grandchildren wear these - they really work, keeping the socks on even when the babies begin to crawl.0 -
Aww hugs to all the poorlies, hope you're feeling better soon.
I once saw some wellies for babies. I mean... What??? Cos they will go puddle jumping at 4mths old??? Also, what do they put pockets in stuff for? Their keys? iPhones? Eh?
Can second the sock-ons, though. We were given some, they were fab. My littlies always had cold feet so these were a godsend at keeping the blinkin things in place...
