If there was a mums handbook?

[Fluffythepantfireslayer]

What would you put in it?

One the first page ... throw this and all other books away.

The location of the 'Off' button!

What ever it is its a phase. Or words to that effect more elloquently put.

Abandon the word 'should'. Your children will be able to do stuff when they're ready.

This too will pass.

Until then,

Lol Sofa - but I do think there should be a mumsnet handbook full of all the gems gleaned from posters.

1-theres a stripe on newborn nappies that changed colour when they've peed

2-envelope neck vests can be pulled down to avoid poonamis in the hair

3-weetabix sets like concrete if you don't wipe it up immediately

4-not all advice from other parents is invaluable, learn to separate the wheat from the chaff

That's all I can think of for now

There's no such thing as spoiling a baby or giving too much attention or cuddles. That babies need love, love and more love to thrive and develop into well rounded amazing people.
