Helmet for 10month old

Ok. My dd is determined to stand and tries to hold herself into anything. She sometimes misses and bangs her head on the floor (oak floor).

DH wants to buy a helmet. He is very serious about it. I think it is a bit extreme and utterly OTT.

Any thougts?

ott. never heard of anything like it!

NoodleStroodle · 11/05/2007 09:27

Umm - I think that is a bit OTT unless DD has fragile skull.

Isn't that a learning thing - hit head - don't do that again...try to land on bottom

compo · 11/05/2007 09:28

actually he could be on to a business idea!!

GloveandSpecialsauce · 11/05/2007 09:28

cheers!

I thought he was joking but today he mentioned again.

So is he going to buy her one of those padded suits as well, so she will never ever hurt herself . I am sorry it just sounds so OTT

NoodleStroodle · 11/05/2007 09:37

Or put her in a padded cell?

cylonbabe · 11/05/2007 09:39

completely ott

SoupDragon · 11/05/2007 09:41

Oh they do sell them. Damned if I can remember what they're called though. Completely OTT however.

misdee · 11/05/2007 09:43

something guard they are called, i think.

but completely OTT, is dd a PFB?

hippmummy · 11/05/2007 09:44

Yes they do sell them - there was a thread months ago with a link to the website!
The poor OP got totally ribbed and was even accused of being the seller trying to get free advertising!
I wish I could find it and could do links...

misdee · 11/05/2007 09:45

thudguard!

GloveandSpecialsauce · 11/05/2007 09:58

lol so a PFB then

belgo · 11/05/2007 10:00

OTT. Both my dds have learnt to walk on tiled(sp?) floors.

Hathor · 11/05/2007 10:05

They do sell padded headgear for people/children with epilepsy. Not usually needed for your average child. They may fall once then learn not to.
Tempting to wrap them in cotton wool though.

maisemor · 11/05/2007 10:12

Sorry give up, what does PFB mean?

misdee · 11/05/2007 10:13

precious first born, its meant i na jokey way.

i think dh would've got dd1 a thudguard as well btw, lol.

SoupDragon · 11/05/2007 10:38

Yes, PFB describes the way we all were OTT wrt caring for our first babies.

GloveandSpecialsauce · 11/05/2007 18:53

He is very OTT IMHO.

Did he get you a padded suit when you were pregnant?

Melly · 11/05/2007 19:08

Think he is completely OTT, but do think it's quite sweet in a way as well

lemonaid · 11/05/2007 19:09

Way OTT. Way, way, way, way, way OTT.

WigWamBam · 11/05/2007 19:11

Sorry, but I think he's barking.

MrMariella · 11/05/2007 19:21

i think he is a loving caring father, on this evidence alone.

It's different for boys/men. When mums provide just about everything for necessary care and survival of little one's , we havethe invitation to bounce around on the fringes trying( and sometimes over-trying) to add something.

Go easy on him. He's not loopy.

pudding77 · 11/05/2007 19:32

I do think its sweet of him but it is a bit ott. A friend of ours got one for her little boy though and as a result he is terrified of falling over!
