read again happy mum, the baby was not in Britneys care at the time.....
Crikey its ont thing saying she married a total tosspot but soemthng else saying she's inept at caring for her child
It's not like he wold have had blood pouring from his head or obvious signs
The doc visited, checked him over, told them the signs to watch out for, when baby duly showed these signs they took him to A+E

I know he wasn't in her care at the time (according to the press)

Piffle · 13/04/2006 07:48

Let's hope she is not as litigious as she who must not be named :)

Oh come on - the car thing was bloody stupid, but this is an accident. It could have happened to anyone - yes, this was from a highchair, but how often is there the post of sh*t, my baby just rolled off the bed and bashed his head - what do I do?

And so what if she is pregnant again - there are plenty of "normal" women in unhappy marriages that get pregnant again quickly. I'm sure half the time I must look like I'm "not coping" but the other half I am coping fine, you just might not see that. There's not much point in reporting "Britney looking happy and sorted with her baby" - that's not news.

Give the girl a break. my babies have all mananged to escape from highchairs ewven when strapped in. i dont know how but they are contorsionists i reakon. dd1 was the worst, you know the highchairs have signs saying dont leave your baby unattended, but mosty people do leave the room to fetch something, well i couldnt with dd1 as she would escape. dd3 tried it at 6months as well.

i remember turning my back when my ds was about 6 months and i was just about to strap him in highchair and he slid down and got stuck. His head would not go underneath the tray so his head was trapped on the seat. it was terrifying. i couldn't get him out and had to call an ambulance, altho all i actually needed was a second person to take his weight while i lifted him out. He was fine, but i don't quite understand how a baby could fall out of the highchair unless they were standing up in it. i would have though they were more likely to get stuck like my ds.

PinkTulips · 13/04/2006 09:22

my dd managed to climb out of her high chair once too, she was 9 or 10 months and i had my back turned making her breakfast. luckily i wasn't being paticularly organised that day and there was a huge pile of washing for the machine next to it that she fell onto, otherwise she would have hit a tile floor. chair was taken out of it's base that day and never put back up!

much as i'd love to slate BS for it (can't stand the woman) i honestly can't see that she did anything wrong, if i were as famous as her my dd would have been front page news on more than 2 occasions in the first 7 months as she seems to have inheritated my accidant proneness!

the car thing was disgusting and showed her even more for the trailer trash she is IMO but this could have happened to anyone, like i said though, wouldn't be surprised if she payed the nanny to take the blame to avoid media frenzy.

I never strap children into highchairs any more, after one of the children I looked after started choking on a piece of carrot (he was 18 months old and quite capable of eating lumps, but must have gone down wrong.) Trying to get him out of his straps while shaking like a leaf was not easy and I was sure he'd choke before I got him out. A big slap on his back and he brought it up and he was fine, but every since, I won't strap them in. That said, I would never leave them in the highchair unattended.

bundle · 13/04/2006 19:05

callaird, imo, you do not need to get them out of straps, with dd2's tripp trapp, i simply tipped it up, her in reins & all, and got the blockage out.

it's hardly her fault if it was the nanny who was supposed to be looking after him is it?

I think she gets a rough deal tbh... I quite like her.

I have never strapped Linus into his highchair Shock

Linus fell off the bed when he was really small... no idea how as he hadn';t even learned to roll yet!

he then fell off again because I fell asleep with him in bed Blush

so feel free to flame me too!

ruty · 14/04/2006 11:04

sorry i wasn't trying to flame anyone, just trying to work out how he could have fallen out of the hiugh chair. I have also fallen asleep on the couch while ds when tiny was breast feeding and he fell off with an almighty thud. I felt like the world's worst mother!

buffythenappyslayer · 14/04/2006 11:48
