And do your girls cry if they have meds up the rear?

Without the spaces :)

Wow!

No not usually. I put a drop of water on the end before putting it in. Or if due to constipation maybe a little vaseline as they generally have a sore bum from straining the last poo.

Oh well, worth a try

Only works for bears :o

pr she'll be 7.5 months

pr I did that. I guess he was really sore anyway. He is not used to feeling anything going out anyway, let alone going in. Poor boy.

One born every minute has me in tears every week. I am so incredibly grateful for the straightforward birth I had, and that F was healthy.

There are baby laxatives that you put in the milk or juice but I only used them in extreme circumstances with DD1 as apparently they can get dependent on them. And it was much later on that I used them when everything else failed.

VQ did you decide what to do about DD's birthday?

Rashly I invited 10kids + DD (& DS obviously) so glad a couple can't make it

DS is point blank refusing to self-settle today

pennie that's exactly as I did BLW & why - I'm lazy

Watching a programme about my home town & where I live now on BBC 2, which is weird. :)

The eagle has landed and I have had an inconsolable baby for the last half hour. He is now glued to my boob.

Pennie according to BBC News it is all supermarkets and affects Aptamil and C&G. Due to popularity of foreign made formula in China.

Better not bloody lead to panic buying.

Yes that maybe the case here pennie she's 21 weeks tomorrow and although I did want to wait till 6 months, she is showing other signs as well, I may try her with some carrot purée next week see how she goes.

Penny have only started weaning today. Although have LO sweet potatoe mash last week. But sleep was off before then.

Am laying on the sofa. LO is on play matt on floor nxt to me. He was asleep until the phone rang (a wrong number ) now I'm laying very still. Avoiding eye contact. Hoping he will get bored n fall bk asleep. I was just about to mk myself lunch .

Lots of thought on the weaning thing. I too am going for that whatever thing. I puréed carrots n broccoli separately. In freezer ready for the nxt week or so. We tried carrot today n he sneezed. So funny having carrot all over me. Anyway I've noticed him putting his toys in his mouth today. So maybe he really liked it? Going to have some banana today when DH is done at work. Just so he can get involved. As he gets better at putting food in his mouth ill give him finger food as I feed him purée. That way he gets to play with food but I will know how much he's eaten.

RESULT. HE is asleep. Going to tip toe to kitchen now

As if! Eat with no wingeing baby? Yeah right. Well ill be thankful that he was asleep while I made my sandwich.

Just made some pear puree and sweet potato puree, got all inspired and had to use up leftover bits and bobs. F had a lick and a nom of a chunk of pear, held by me. She sucked it so violently at one point I thought it was going to disappear and that's when I decided to halt proceedings . Still. She seemed to like it. Her face was a mix of , and . My reward? A poonami. Thanks.
