AIBU to bet you can't beat this for pfb...

Well, precious second born after a long gap.

My friend brought her eight month old baby round today. He played in my three week old baby's baby gym thing....and I thought "oh! Don't dribble on the giraffe! Precious second born hasn't played with it yet!"

hands self a biscuit

Think I might be a bit teeny like this

I always like the Lady who made everyone stand outside when she bathed the pfb, both odd and incomprehensible.

I had a friend visit me the week before ds2 (p[third]b) arrived and she put her 6 month old down in his cot-to-be to sleep. Grotty old cot, but brand new mattress and I felt fiercely angry about it

I got over myself pretty quickly as dd puked in it the following day

My DH should get a prize, he stopped the traffic when crossing the main high road by emergency stopping with pushchair because DS hat had fallen over his eyes. DS was six weeks old....

Public Information Notice

Peeing in a nappy does indeed prevent the midnight walk to the communal loos, but only if you havent partaken of several alcoholic drinks that evening. Then you will need more than a couple to take the load, so be prepared well in advance to avoid the dribbly rummage to find another one. And thats not even taking into account what happens once you have broken the seal :o

I read this somewhere..........honest............

Must admit that I keep a few in the car for long journeys but have yet to use one

I wonder if I actually could do it...

Maybe I should try

I never ate the bubbles from my pfbs bath to make sure they weren't poisonous.
Oh no.
Because that would be MAD wouldn't it?......

You win, Badvoc, you win

And book at the mouse shit clothes....

Or boak, not book...

I went away for the weekend with my friends and their pfb, they took all the cushions off the seats and sofa and leant them up against anything that had a "sharp edge" and we all had to perch on seats without cushions on!
He still managed to fall over and bump his head even though they were constantly following him about with their hands hovering about an inch away from him at all times!

I once nearly died because friends of ours but our pfb down on the floor. The floor, not a baby mat, straight on the carpeted floor - that their shoes may have touched. The actual floor.

Couple of months later he learned to crawl and I repeatedly found him chewing the front door mat. I gave up caring about most things hygiene related at that moment.

I used to stay up all night because my second child MADE NOISE in his sleep.

Then I stayed up crying because he stopped doing it.

I even told my OH I was worried he might die.

WTF?

On our first night in hospital DS slept in a cot next to my bed. I slept with my hand on his stomach all night. The MW came in and shook my hand the next day to wake me, I leapt up and may have even growled at her a bit. Those evil baby snatchers do roam hospitals dressed as midwives looking for newborns to pinch, don't they?

I growled at a midwife as well!

Oh and I was also completely baffled as to why he wouldn't sleep one night, thinking there must be something wrong. Sat there for an hour trying to get him to sleep. Then remembered this one isn't deaf and stopped playing music on my phone.

I actually asked the Health Visitor if I should peel the grapes before mushing them for dd

I baked my own beans so PFB wouldn't be sullied by salt.

One dear friend still introduces me as 'the girl who baked her own beans'. DS is 7.

WIlson do you have a recipe?

I used to have a lovely recipe for baked beans but lost it and have trawled the internet but cant find it! It had black treacle in, I remember that!

I've shared this before on here, but I am the person who phoned the maternity ward at 3am to ask if I needed to sterilise the infacol dropper before putting it back in the bottle.
A couple of years later and I caught 6-month oldDD2 licking the sole of DD1's welly and didn't bat an eyelid.

when DD1 decided that licking the wheel of her pram when it was in the lounge was he favourite thing, I gave up too :o

I've made baked beans. They were bloody awful.

I'm loving these anecdotes.

I put a rattle in the steam steriliser, because it had fallen on the floor in between chewings.

It made a noxious smell, unsurprisingly. It also lost its shape a tad. And I lost my self-respect. Sleep-deprivation makes you do very silly things.

Can't remember if I was PFB. Prob was, too far ago for my addled brain to recall though!

There was a MN'er who recently confessed to peeing in a golf shoe when in the car in a traffic jam...(not me, I'd say it if it was!)

I shared an office with a woman who screamed down the phone at her husband because he had not put a coat on her 2 year old DS for a five minute car journey on a mild October afternoon I thought they were going to divorce at one point!!

I have conveniently forgotten everything pfb that I did
