What has MN ever done for us?

[DancesWithSockPuppets]

Fancy pooling the more unconventional wisdom you've gleaned from MN over the years?

For me:

• Taking away his most prized posession and giving it to him only at nappy changes to avoid tantrums/pooey foraging.
• Getting an EBF baby to take a bottle by switching on Night Garden and plugging it into his mouth while he sits transfixed.
• Wanky baskets. Started one off this weekend.
• Acceptance of the fact that, at some point in the not-too-distant future, I will catch vomit in my cupped hands to save the carpet. Even if it's a tiled floor.

Now I'm fishing for tips that will get me through the next 17 1/2 years....

For me, calmed nerves for the c section I suddenly found out i'd be having with about 15 hours notice I'll never forget how kind posters were and what good advice i got.

Erm and what is a wanky basket!?

If I'm being strictly accurate they're called wnaky baskets (i.e. treasure baskets).

I have no idea what the wnaky part means, and neither does Google it seems. Someone on here once took it as a typo for wanky baskets, which I much prefer. More appropriate too, since my 7mo's first reaction to any new toy is to see what it feels like against his willy.
