AIBU to ask you all for your most PFB moments?

*BeingATinselTwat...

Yeah... sure she did... winkgrin*

I have to hope for my sanity that she did. 😂 But my DM and DF have the same mental attitude to drinking milk and water as I do so I would be incredibly surprised if DD was allowed fruit shoot!

Yeah... sure she did...

If they are photos taken on phones etc yoko the dates will be in the file

Off topic

Delete I envy you, we tried to make a photo calendar last year and it was a nightmare, photos everywhere not dated!

I was hoping that I couldn't think of any but I have...

DH and I slept with the light on for about a week after DS was born so I could see him as soon as I woke up.
I also took pictures of his head every week to compare them as I was convinced it was getting really flat.

To be fair, my nan was even more pfb than me when we went to visit and she washed up my son's bottles in a mixing bowl that she had stuffed into the steriliser first. I did wash his bottles up separately but only in my normal washing up bowl.

I still organise photos of both my dc on be external hard drive. The first year is 0-1months old 1-2months old etc. Then after 12 months it was 12-18, 18-24. Then 2-3 years, 3-4 etc. The. Of course there are folders for birthday parties, holidays, days out etc. I figured it was better than just having a massive mish mash of photos and not really knowing when they were taken.

It's the only area of my life where I am somewhat organised and I'm quite proud of it

I did the obsessive notebook about breastfeeding, my pfb alternated boob and fed for exactly 7-8 minutes. I still kept it up and have sheets of A4 paper telling me so

I also obsessively filed all photographs of pfb for the first couple of years, so have a lot of folders on the computer January, February, March. Actually wished I had kept that one up. DS2 is going to be rather miffed as I was that there are not as many photographs of him

Love this thread

Then I decided that maybe she hadn't had enough. So repeated the exercise with a crumb sized amount.

I remember being terrified that Dd would be allergic to nuts. So I gave her a smidgen of a snickers and then observed her for about two hours. ten hours

Wow that seems very OTT driving to a&e!
Sayinf that I have an anaphalyxis allergy myself and am worried about my children trying what I am allergic to, I may well do the same for that food!

I remember the car park one too. Also another one about the couple who filled the baby bath in the bathroom, then carried the filled up baby bath into the living room, trying not to splash water everywhere in the process, as they were worried the bathroom would be too cold for the baby

I remember that one! Example: PFB is trying strawberries today. We'll drive to the hospital & sit outside it with a punnet of strawberries.

Hilarious.

There are just ace. So many, but the mum who took off her coat was just so...unexpected.

However, no thread about PFB moments can be without this mumsnet classic, a poster from ages ago who, while weaning her baby to solid foods, would DRIVE TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL A&E CAR PARK and introduce the new food while on the car. In case PFB had an allergic reaction.

Macaroni that chef saw you coming lol.

With ds1, I spent hours carefully making a selection of different purees - some protein ones (fish/lentil/baked beans) and then individual vegetables - these were all frozen separately in ice cube trays, and decanted into bags, so each day I could pick out a selection of cubes for his lunch and dinner, defrost them without mixing them, and then warm them, so he could taste the different flavours.

With ds2, I pureed whatever ds1 was having. I honestly can't remember what I did for ds3, but as he is now a healthy, strapping six-foot 19-year-old, I have to assume that I did feed him something!

I paid for a chef to make and deliver DDs meals from 6-12 months because I was paranoid I wasn't good enough at cooking to give her the best nutritional start.
I cried when my parents babysat and unexpectedly took her to a petting farm because the first time she saw a pig or a sheep was without me, I was also concerned she could of had an allergy to them and I wouldn't have been there with her.
Cringing at myself now

"I cut all of the labels out of every single item of DSs clothes so they wouldn't irritate him."
I do that with MY clothes (I'm now embarrassed to admit I've never done it for dd, even though she is my pfb).

I do remember taking her to the doctor when she was 2 or 3 months old because she was covered in a red rash & I was convinced she had measles, scarlet fever etc (even though she was totally happy, feeding, no temperature) - and the doctor looking at me in a 'stupid foreigner' way & explaining very patiently & slowly that babies came out in rashes etc all the time and if she seemed well, she probably was

Not sure if it's pfb or just one of those things, but I remember waking up in the middle of the night in a complete panic on a number of occasions because I was convinced that I had fallen asleep with dd1 in my arms and that she was smothered/tangled up in the covers. I even woke dp up once saying "I can't find the baby help me", he switched the light on, pointed at the Moses basket and said 'look, she's there, absolutely fine'.

I think I did the same with dd2 but to a much lesser extent. Very strange experience every time. It was genuine panic and confusion, must have been down to the lack of sleep.

Lol these are so funny!
When dd1 was born we had her in a crib beside our bed. I used to sleep half way down the bed so that my head was level with hers... WITH MY GLASSES ON!!! Incase I couldn't see her when I woke up (I am very very short sighted!)
I also took the Moses basket into the bathroom whilst I showered.
Poor DS is completely neglected in comparison!!!
The lady with the coat tho... you made me lol!!!!

Not sure sixthsense but I do remember the fact I couldn't think of anything suitable being part of the panic

I cut all of the labels out of every single item of DSs clothes so they wouldn't irritate him.

That's hilarious.
What sort of 'heavy object' GreenRut? A paving slab? An armchair?

On our first sleep over at mil's after our pfb was out of a cot and in a bed, I took dh into the bedroom for a hushed discussion about wanting a heavy object to be placed on the closed toilet Lid before the last grown up went to bed that night. I can still remember his face as I explained that otherwise pfb might find his way to the toilet while we slept and get his head stuck in the toilet bowl. Luckily dh refused to pass on this request to my mil on the next room. I don't think I'd ever have lived it down.

I'd have been furious too caramac!

I thought I was over the pfb stuff but this thread came to mind when I was making DD dinner this evening and slightly crushing her peas to reduce choking risk. She's almost 1.
