sil is following a weaning plat to the letter (GF I think). not as a rough guide, but as the word of God himself. And it states clearly that certain doom will befall the entire household if new foods are introduced at the evning meal, not at lunch time. (OK that last bit was my interpretation, or rather sil's interpretation of it). I think the rational is if they get wind or have some other reaction you see.
She however doesn't waste energies on trivialities and panics over anaphylactic shock (to be fair, she does know of someone whose dc suffered severe allergic reaction to egg). She was considering going to dd every half an hour to check still alive. I pointed out bread is an unlikely killer, may give her a bit of wind if she's unlucky, and if she's going to have a severe allergic reaction to something it won't ve 3 hours after eating it.
Anyway, She really doesn't need any help in the neurosis dept.
BUT I have had a nap, so I should not be too evil. Bless her.. It's her mum, mil who dies in October, so she turns to me for parenting advice as she doesn't have her mum around. Luckily we get on really well. We also turn to each other when we need to slag off dh. She has said she's going to e-mail me a shopping list when she visits next month so she can stick to her plan to the letter.
deb, how'd ds get on?
needahand, I get that as well, only ever in pg. I don't get ms but I do gag and retch brushing teeth. luckily no leaks tho, that would not be fun
