Babies and hoovers

DS (2.5) has been scared of the hoover for what seems like ever, but at least he knows it will stop now and can choose to go into another room while it is happening.

Today DD (7 months) has decided that she hates hoovers too. It would be the day I decide to clean the living room properly. I am hooving in very short bursts.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

When my twins were babies, I used to switch the hoover on so i could have a bath, the noise sent them to sleep. I thought this was a great idea until my hoover blew up
(sorry i know a bit off topic but thought I would share)

Probably not the things to do but... my DS (9 months) was scared of the hoover so I now pretend it's an animal and let him 'pet' it very gently! He gets excited now when he sees it! I'm just hoping that he won't always think it's a pet...

LOL at zippiti's son admiring hoovers in the Argos catalogue!

zippiti, he'll make someone a great partner one day!
