...to have just said to my tiny, screaming, 8 week old baby

[PoweredByMiniEggs]

"darling, in the nicest possible way you're just going to have to get over it, there's nothing Mummy can do".

In my defence, he's fed, changed, we've had a really nice play, a nice walk in the sunshine, he was sitting on my knee being cuddled at the time and 5:15pm is just too early for the wtiching hour!

Seems to be evening colic by the way, gorgeous happy baby most of day, screaming monster from around 5:30/6ish every evening depending on when his late afternoon feed happens.

Oh and I used to have to bundle him up, tightly swaddled , and walk, and walk, and walk, and walk................. the local police used to check up on me at first, walking around a piece of waste ground at midnight with a bundle in your arms gets you attention!!

Its good to hear I'm not the only one using profanity. I've said variations on occasion of 'Oh my god... just shut the fuck up already'. Not lately mind you because she is 2.4 and mimics everything!
