Foxy I don't think dh was that uncomfortable, more uncomfortable because his mate was cringing and didn't know where to look, so for dh it was an awkward situation. Iyswim. I'm now so used to my pendulous norks hanging out left right and centre that it really doesn't bother me!
I hope things in the Lunar household improve quickly, you poor sickly bunch. {{{hugs}}}
Rosy pmsl @ baby led cleaning! Bertie isn't that interested in solids except he gums bits and pieces here and there (the other day, a bit of steak, a bit of carrot and a mushroom... miniscule bits were swallowed). I was getting a bit worried but had a chat with one of the ladies at the enrichment day about it... about all babies being different and how some don't really want solids until they're seven even eight months' old and some quite a bit earlier than the six month mark...
I thought Claire Scott was very good in that interview she gave on here... in the TV programme she comes across as a bit of a wet lentil weaver hippy type, whereas on here she explained herself much better and a lot of what she was saying made sense...
... although I only have a tribe of two really, me and ds, so I have to temper everything with a bit of common sense!
I also love that big baby book by the Drs. Sears, I especially like the stuff they say about some babies having "high needs" it makes me feel a bit more comfortable about Bertie being so bloody feisty, especially when you see some babies who are lovely and calm and placid and I get all ... he says it like it is a good thing to have a "difficult" one and I feel a bit less like it's my fault iyswim.
Sorry, bit of a diversion there, just recently have felt myself getting a bit defensive, not on here but in rl, about how I have to carry Bertie around a lot and how he doesn't much like being put down, and especially now that programme is on people think I'm the weird tribe lady with the sling and that I'm a bit mad... so it was nice to read the chat with her, and nice to read that Sears book too... does that make sense? I'm ranting at no one on here!! Just a few rl people.
Foxy I'm glad you're enjoying paid work again, I got a message from my Dad recently who asked me when I was going to go back to work for a rest!
Rosy that is right actually I remember Bethoo was broody... are you still broody Bethoo?
Muppet ikwym about following your instincts, we talked about that on the "enrichment day" yesterday. (Have to put in quotation marks as it does sound very poncey!) About how people used to follow their own instincts but your own instincts also are part of following what people around you do... if everyone around you is feeding their babies on a routine etc. then you feel that is instinct when it might not be...
I'm really not explaining that well.
God I'm wittering. I'm slightly losing it being driven slowly mad with a constantly sleepy (ADs?) dh at home all the time.
ARRRGH!
