Chasing so he's violent and horrible and gets spoilt with sleep ins? Angry Envy

Det pear is actually (bizarrely) one of the best first foods for reflux - of those you listed the only one I'd be careful with is banana as it increases the acidity of the stomach.

BPLP not sure - J can't even tolerate trace dairy so I've not investigated to be honest. From what my sister has said cooked dairy and cheese is more tolerated and raw milk and yogurt likely to cause the most problems (yogurt is effectively concentrated milk protein). I'm not sure whether boiling milk would make it less or more problematic.

Gah I've never had any ishoos with allergies myself I wish I hadn't had to learn about this shit! Blush

YW yep. He is getting spoilt with a partner who is trying to make his life as easy as possible so that he has no stresses to contend with. Plus a family who treat him as though he has done nothing wrong.

I get no sleep ins, no break from housework and the full hatred of his family.

Like I said, he is on best behaviour at the moment but there are so many unsaid things beneath the surface. There is no warmth from him towards me. Just finding things hard today. Feeling very down. Need to get to sleep really as have my family coming over tomorrow, Parents, Aunt, Uncle and Brother. Off out for lunch again. At least I know I will be able to explain to them that O is going through a 'screamy with anyone but mummy or daddy' phase and they won't try and push it.

((hugs)) lily you sound so strong. I'm glad you have your family around you now.

chasing well done for walking out, they are just awful :(

Congratulations on the second interview wanna :)

How you feeling Clara? sorry you're missing Eddie :(

I'm currently up north with family. 6hour journey was ok but on arrival well after midnight, DD1 woke up properly and didn't go back to sleep til nearly 3. And then woke up at 6.30 :( N. On the other hand, slept from 2 til 7 :)

TheDetective · 04/05/2013 22:01

Chasing Remember my offer? It is still open! A break sounds just what you need! I believe there is a good weekend.... ooooh, sometime around the 15th June Grin.

YW Bugger! Banana was one of the first things he has had, although I think he is okay with it. Carrot pissed him off. Hmm

YellowWellies · 04/05/2013 22:03

Do your family know what you are putting up with? Could you not sneak away with them? Wink

I'm so impatient for you and O to have the better life you deserve, but I know you have to do it in your own time. Just do it before O sees bad things / gets hurt xxxx

You do rock you know chasing

ChasingDaisy · 04/05/2013 22:07

My family have no idea. They think he's great. I'm not close enough to them to be able to say anything.

BigPigLittlePig · 04/05/2013 22:12

This dairy malarkey makes me twitchy about introducing formula, in case she does have an issue and I make it heaps worse by ff. Somethings upset her today, and am racking my brains to work out what it is. I wish babies came with an instruction manual.

Kyzordz · 04/05/2013 22:21

Currently cursing the undo button on the iPad. Have deleted post 3 times now total arse

It wasn't great, basically dished out hugs to those needing them, chasing, lilly and clarella if my memory isn't failing me which it will be

Had NCT first aid course today, was pretty good, basic but good and I feel a lot better with things ESP choking which I was most afraid of. Heart still in mouth though when I gave Eric some mango sticks earlier. He bit a chunk and I immediately went to scoop it out only for dp who also attended said course to launch at me with 'yourenotsupposedtoscoopitoutleavehimbewoman'. So I sat, watched e, he gagged, brought the chunk forward himself and then swallowed it :) I am still not sure, I'm not sure I will ever not panic when he eats or it feels that way but this is success, right?

I am mostly just pleased he is enjoying other things bar rusk and that we are not stressed. I will be starting properly next week and he seems much more ready than he did a few weeks back. I am beginning to think he might be one who likes to feed himself though and if so I will shit myself every time he eats I think! I am going to offer both though and see how we get on :) guess its up to the wee man and if finger foods means he eats veg, then scary fucking finger foods it is! I am much more comfortable with purée but never mind!

Sounds mission to keep up tomorrow. I hope I manage it, feel out of the quiche-loop on hectic days. Mum is healing well and staying off her feet but hopefully will be up and about a bit more in the coming weeks so ill not be running round like such a blue arsed fly quite so much! Think I'm doing ok though ignores fact tea wasn't ready until 8pm

TheDetective · 04/05/2013 22:27

Kyz I too have similar panics! I let O suck on my banana this morning. He bit a chunk off, and choked and I was panic stations. Hmm What a tit!

That is all.

I think the new Star Trek is better than the 60's.

YellowWellies · 04/05/2013 22:35

BPLP I know!!! DH currently has C4 with the new Star Trek film on (though actually he's upstairs shushing a stirring half conscious bear back to sleep) and I'm wishing those body scanners from Star Trek which show what's wrong with someone really existed!

I guess we've been winging it since time immemorial with the wee folk. R4 mentioned an interesting stat from a study which suggests that on average most Mum's only correctly identify whats vexing their baby when they cry 40% of the time - and that the more confident in her skills the mother is the less likely she is to identify correctly!

ValiumQueen · 04/05/2013 22:38

Detective Grin even that does not endear him at the moment Grin

Evil are you talking Enterprise?

Just watched Ted. I am married to a child.

J has become quite attached to a pink rabbit I threw in the cot in desperation one night. I think I may need to make it some non pink clothes before he starts school.

PetiteRaleuse · 04/05/2013 22:39

:o VQ since I gave that advice I've been trying to work out what I'd put on my list were I asked it at a bad moment

Yes, ahem, the 15th June weekend is a good time to go to the north west chasing when some freshly caught quiche fish can be passed round :)

wanna I missed your post about a second interview. That's great news :)

ValiumQueen · 04/05/2013 22:40

New film??????? Ooh! Did not know there was a new one Grin

Evilwater · 04/05/2013 22:42

Yes VQ I'm a secret Trekkie, my fav is voyger. Katie rocks the part, and her fights with the Borg are epic.

Simon pegg is awesome as Scotty.

ValiumQueen · 04/05/2013 22:42

My MIL has said she wants to come here that weekend. Not sure quite how to explain I want to visit her so I can meet a bunch of strangers off the Internet Grin

PetiteRaleuse · 04/05/2013 22:43

Fucking fireworks. Thought the house was going to fall down. The pets have gone mental and I don't know how the girls slept through as the house was shaking. :( that I missed watching themas the shutters were closed and I had a shaking dog and two cats huddled up to me on the sofa the last hour. It's over now but the concert is still going strong.

PetiteRaleuse · 04/05/2013 22:45

Yes I'm going to have trouble explaining to my family that No, I haven't seen them for teo years but I do have to pop out for a while to meet some randoms.

TheDetective · 04/05/2013 22:48

It's like a secret shameful mission! Like the whole hiding your knickers during erm, intimate examinations which I have had more than my fair fucking share of thanks. How to sneak out to meet randomers Grin.

Could be a good game?!

ValiumQueen · 04/05/2013 22:48

I am Captain Janeway. I would happily give Chakote a good loving, Seven of nine too actually Shock

TheDetective · 04/05/2013 22:49

Sat here with tissue on my tits, complete with karvol on it. Snorting like a coke addict.

I make an attractive sight tonight. Hmm

ValiumQueen · 04/05/2013 22:51

Kyzordz · 04/05/2013 22:52
