September 2006 babies - smiles all round!

[clairemow]

New thread for us....

This blo*dy computer. Just wrote a massive message and managed to delete the lot. Again!

Will be back later when I've calmed down!!!

Grrrr....one even of them even dares to suggest that I obviously didn't enjoy BF as much I said...sanctamonious tossers....

Cori - sod 'em! - also, I did the same with Alex with the whole feeding him after I'd supposedly stopped and trying not to get caught by DH - silly eh?!

...must go find this thread and back Cori up...

Bristols - hope you've calmed down now, I've lost count of how many times that's happened to me - bl*^dy anoying!

WHERE IS THIS THREAD???? I need to give my fellow spetember ladies some support against the nasty sanctamonious cows out there!
Wow - we are getting quite militant on here aren't we.
nearly wet myself reading the stuff below about PF on buy one get one free!

Oh I had a bad night last night, both are still full of coughs and colds....DS' s 2nd bottom tooth has popped through already...I was having a feel this morning and I thought that tooth is either very wide or there's another one popped up!
I am not really sure the weaning is working, it ceratinly isn't making any difference to Ds2's waking times, I am worried that I could be A) filling him with too much rice so he's not having enough milk (but he only has 1 tsp at lunch and at tea time), or B) not giving him enough rice....but am then worried he will cut back on his milk too much ....and I daren't ask for advice....how crazy is that....arrrrgggghhh!

Just read through the thread cori

sorry...am far to scared to enter there...will not come out alive....

where do these people get off? it's like you say, if someones opinion is different to theirs, all hell is let loose.

Like the long live petit filous comment!

Where is the thread? I'm in the mood for a bit of confrontation................

Note - I still haven't calmed down!

here

But thankfully it seems to be calming down and there have been a few apologies flying about... Cori, hope you're feeling ok? Xx

Thanks clairemow...

Cannot believe I've been called the insultar rather than the insulted! Just re-read all my posts & (please correct me if any of you think I'm wrong because I'll take it from my sep buddies!) I cannot see that I was insulting. I did apologise about the breastfeeding nazi remark other than that I was simply trying to put across my views....& replying with a bit of fight when they were getting insulting. Cannot believe their tone.....

I have a chip on my shoulder? Did you see that bit?! That it's not chips on my shoulder rather carrot puree....!!!!! I ask you....

cori - it's pathetic and childish, and I can't believe someone told you to F off - that's really constructive!!!!!!!
Just rise above it

Cori - I can't believe the abuse you've had on that thread, was appalled when I read it earlier today and as I didn't want to act on your behalf, I resisted the urge to report that VVVQV poster to Mumsnet for offensive language - is that the best argument she should come up with? Couldn't resist any further this evening and have posted on there myself, but hey, shall not be visiting it again.
Now, on the very sensitive topic of weaning, but on a much friendlier thread, I am choosing not to wean until 26 weeks, as that is really recommended for reflux babies, so I'm just letting him guzzle as much milk as he wants. He's currently on 5 x 7oz bottles (well, I put 7oz of water in and the powder then makes it up to 8oz, so I guess it's 5 x 8oz of milk - I'm sure I should be shot down for counting!), but this evening guzzled the lot and was looking for more. I guess it's okay just to keep upping amounts of milk (let's just say that with his history of poor weight gain I don't think there's a risk of overfeeding, he's only just got back up to 25 centile after dropping off chart pre-Christmas), but would I be wrong to do that at his middle of night feed, but instead should I wait til morning. I can ask HV tomorrow when he's weighed, but I know how much info can be provided by you enlightened mob (please note, mob is not an insult - oh forgot, am posting on this thread and you're all sensible, not over-sensitive types , so I don't need to explain myself).
Right, off to make my dinner, will check in again later. Thank heavens for this safe haven on MN!
P.S. Seems like my top choice spot is being usurped, DS was obviously tired this morning, so tried to put him down for his morning nap and despite rubbing eyes, yawning, sucking his thumb and nestling in to me, when I put him in his cot, he wouldn't settle. When his dad got up (he's on a late shift today), and came in the room, he was all smiles for him and then went down for his nap. At lunchtime, same thing, wouldn't settle for me, then his Dad settled him within minutes - think it might be a case of "I see you all the time Mum, where's my Daddy?!" , ah well, might mean I get to have an evening off at some point, as DH might be able to do bath, feed and put him to bed for a change (he's only done it about twice)!
Right, really have a million things to do downstairs.
Oh, and Mabel - was it you who said DS has a second tooth - congrats, hope it wasn't too much trouble. Still on and off gum ache here and gums getting sharper, but no teeth yet.

Gosh I waffle on, don't I?!

Thanks Mabel & Jingle...tbh, I was rather gobsmacked & little upset being told to f off! I just sat there thinking, as I don't agree or rather am putting forward my own experiences which obviously you don't like you have nothing constructive to say except f off! Really threw me for a while. As clairemow said, it really would put people off just asking /seeking advice for fear of being shot down...but as long as you adhere to their advice then cool, if not your stuffed!!! Arrggggghhh

Anyhow, back to nice September babies! Mine has caught DD's bug so it would seem & is inconsolable with teething. Just given him some nurofen -he wont take calpol!!! I had one of those days..DD threw up over me, DS pooed out of his clothes twice, washing to be put away, washing to be ironed, washing that was ironed still where I left it this time last night, more on the inside hanging rail, more in the machine & more soaking with poo in the bucket...& I've just had to re-soak Jack's effort from yday...what unbridled joy... All fnished off with DH asking what I'm doing this evening......as if it wasn't obvious..!!! I also think I'm ov!!! Am sure af is imminent. Am off to find large glass of red wine..

PS: Have just read your comment Jingle! Rather excellent I must say You've all been really supportive so thank you, really thank you all so much.

Oh, I have just been on and it has all become so pathetic!!
I did try to add my bit and ask them to stop but was told the first rule of MN was that the OP couldn't be held responsible for the outcome of a thread, fair enough, but I didn't realise there was any rules on MN!?
DH has stopped me from writing anything, telling me that I am better than those pathetic women. Too right!
As my mother would say 'let them hang as they grow'

Right off to have a wee relax while DD has her bath with DH. Bliss!

Honestly, they must be a miserable lot. I find it takes so much effort to be scathing to people. I know that I can say that in the safely of this thread. It just seems to be going round and round in circles. Do they not have anything better to do? Its like gang warfare. I think we're best off out of it, ladies. I think you all made fair points, though. I do have a query about weaning which I'm too scared to ask anywhere else. Please forgive me if this is a silly question. If, at six months, DS is still content on milk and still sleeping through as usual, do I start weaning regardless, or wait until those things happen? I note from Fairy's thread that we have all been told that there are no 'signs' for weaning etc etc etc yawn yawn. But I want to get some petit filous into him

BTW, I put DS to the boob after I had stopped feeding him 'just to see if he remembers'. He did for a while but has forgotten all about it now. Was worried about DH catching me too! Good to know we're all the same, eh?

Just done a you bristols & lost a huge message!! Am very peeeved....

Jingle, can't believe what a bunch of miserable sad pathetic netters they are. They display such childlike behaviour....stuff I thought I'd left behind in the playground! I love our group!! Hindsight is a wonderful thing but gosh, wish I'd never bothered as they obviously don't respect any views other then their own.

Clairemow, Liquid & bristols, glad to hear my experience / feelings re BF when finished weren't alone

Having said to myself that I would not go back to that thread, have just done so and obviously I have now caused offence, or I'm in trouble for telling someone it is inappropriate to swear at someone else - what a lovely end to my evening, especially when I'm having a teary day.
I'm never straying away from our lovely thread again. Am so stupidly upset by them, am abandoning my own advice and calling them all sorts of names (in my own head of course), don't have time or energy to waste on them though.
Fairysnuff - you shouldn't worry about anything, you asked a perfectly acceptable question and you did at least get some helpful answers. As for the rest of it, I think there are some people out there who just look out for these threads especially so they can post these kind of things.
As said - never leaving the safety of this thread again... off to cry shamefaced into my pillow as I obviously am hugely heinous (not to say pompous) for having dared to post on "their" thread. If only I wasn't so short on sleep, I'd be pouring a v. large glass of wine, instead I have bottles to fill. Shall sneak a peek on my DS before bed and will no doubt forget all about everything else, 'cos he's so gorgeous.

cori hope you are feeling better today.
Jingle - i think you hit the nail on the head that some people go looking for it, in fact one of the posters who posted on fairy's thread had posted to someone on a previous thread telling them how to look out for active conversations to see if there was ' a debate raging' she obviously has nothing better todo, has some king of pent up agression that she needs to get out of her system on the net!

Bristols - part of me says that if your ds ls content on milk at 6 months, just carry on, but then, I think 6 months is the optimum time for introduci;ng solids and I have read they can get more inclined reject solids the longer you leave - don't take that as gospel - it could be rubbish!

Ds woke at 3.30am for a feed this monring.....he went back down til 7, but i really thought weaning him might sort this night waking out.

just caught up with THAT thread - unbelievable.
They really are pathetic, and genuinely think that insulting others is the way forward rather than support.

hi all,

Think it might be time to start a new thread, as it takes ages to open this one! Will do it in a minute...

I was thinking, let's not discuss that thread any more, it's getting me down! We know who to avoid now..!!!

Taking F to the doc's this morning about his dry skin, and hope they'll give me a prescription for some nice oily stuff for the bath. It'll help my hands too - I use a cold water steriliser and my hands are really suffering even though I wear marigolds! Hopefully they won't think it's exema...
