[morethanamum]

hi all
my baby girl is 12 months
im stay at home mum,so going out is crucial 2 my servival! she sleeps in her buggy 4 about an hour.when she wakes i give her biscuits,banana,water,toys,anything to occupy her for an hour or two. then she gets bored and tired i guess and screams and screams and nothing will make her calm unless i run home. she doesnt walk yet.
any mums had similar proplem.

i dont swim Enid,but im thinking of goin999ing friends to learn on sundays.
what do you mean by getting poorly?

mine are always loads more clingy for a few days before a cold/ear infection

gnu when she was younger she used to sleep most of the time and wake up only for a feed.
enjoy!!

can you find a toddler group to go to

they were my sanity saver when ds was this age

so Enid,wel; she be better with time?
how did you manage another one when she`s so clingy and not an easy child at all?

i went once to a toddler group.
i didnt like it much. thought id didnt deserve the hastle nor the money

by waiting until she wsa 2 and a half and wnet to nursery three mornings a week

if its any consolation dd2 and dd3 are easy in that respect AND dd1 and I are so close even though she is nearly 8 now

I will enjoy this time then. In fact, even when she's coming down with an illness (like Enid says, involving a couple of days of frustration and bad temper - i.e. every weekend after picking up that week's bug from nursery) she's still happy as larry when being wheeled around in her pushchair - just sitting and smiling at passers by.

Try another M&T group if you didn't like the one you went to, try music, gymboree, library story times.

You don't need to be able to swim to take a baby swimming!

i just thought well enjoy it both if i know how 2 swim too. i think ill be scared if shes in the water and i dont know how to manage if something happened.it`s just a fear of the unknown!!

You don't need to be able to swim in a baby pool!...What are you scared of?

maybe if she started to walk she`ll enjoy walking in the shops with me

ive never been to a baby pool before,i dont know how it looks like!!
i`ll give it ago for her sake then!!

It's just a smaller, shallower pool with warmer water! Much nicer than an adult pool anyway.
