January 08 shiny new - year babies , night night sleep tight - yeah right !!

[lilyloo]

Thought as there were no objections and we were at 950 i would get us all a new thread

JKS - definately not a HV lol.

Lucky - my DH always thought they were the experts and what they said was totally right and must be obeyed to the letter. I think he is more shocked about today tbh.

Wasn't our usual HV as she is away so hopefully won't have to enjure (sp) it every time. Unfortunately I cannot totally avoid them (HV) as they run a FAB coffee morning on thursdays for local mums.

Angechica - glad on child minder situation.

My DP thought that too simpson until the HV said to stop feeding DD as much. He couldn't believe a professional was advising us to "starve our baby" (his words) Now he thinks they're erm..... words I can't repeat!!

Ange - Nothing, I don't even think i'm getting a present. I've told DP I want one off him and DD and he should take her shopping (thinking he'd go yesterday) but he hasn't been.

Angechica - congrats on new car.

Lucky - happy birthday for the weekend. He might have already got your present!

He better had! lol

oooh Lucky Happy Birthday am sure he will surprise you !

BM have lovely hol

Simpson that's exactly why i don't go. Haven't been for /6 weeks. I know dd is fine so what would someone who sees her for 5 min a week know. Trust your instincts before a strangers! Hope h is feeling better!

Ange would love new car too talked to dp about it tonight but told we can't afford so that's the end of that!

JKS hope the il's visit going ok!

Susie Martha thinks the same gave her some organix pear and something or other thing for breakfast this am and she loved it!

Went to see friend today who had mc was quite but also good to see her. Sometimes i think having dc's can easily put a stop to your social life if you don't make the effort! Although still wussed out of a curry night on Thurs!

P.S where's Gingeme ?

Hmmm yeh Gingme has been missing for a while. Hope she's ok!

Hi

JKS - that made so much sense. Mine were seven weeks early so physically they are way behind - not rolling, sitting up, prob sleeping quite a bit in day - so prob why DD weight gain even though eating little and DS putting on loads when just eating what he should.

Feel happier now!

Hope you all have a good night!

Hi guys

Broadband will return on tuesday, yay!

Lucky happy birthday

had to tell you what happened today, still [shocked] [shocked]. Went to Ikea with my parents, dh is on retreat to prepare for ordination on Sunday, so was already feeling a bit lost. nathan was melting down in the pushchair as I refused to carry him and he was not happy. Was just leaving him for a minute or five to see if he would settle. Woman behind me starts talking to me that it is a disgrace, that my babyis distressed and in 'obvious pain' ?? and that I was ignoring him [shocked]. I challenged her and told her to mind her own business and what did she think she was interfering with? Then she delivered her master shot 'You are a bad mother'. Why oh why did that upset me so? I should have slapped her really. Can't let it go, despite parents saying to ignore it!

sorry, rant over. Back properly soon.

Night and love to all

MM Cheeky Bitch!! I think I'd have been too shocked to slap her too but OMG!

MM hope you ok !

What a completely ignorant woman, don't let the comment of a stranger bother you !!

p.s why is not working

Oh forgot to tell you about the funny thing that happened to me at Tesco's today.

Went shopping and as I was packing the car someone pointed out this woman (about 50 something) who was running along sobbing. So me being the hero I am asked her to keep an eye on DD (safe in my car) and went to said sobbing woman asking if she was ok...... (stupid stupid LuckySalem)

I then spent 1/2 listening to her saying she wanted to go home, smelling the stinky alcohol breathe, trying to get her to tell me where she lived/show some ID or something. I then had to leave DD in the car to take this woman to Tesco's security guard to get her off me (as by now she was hanging on me, telling me to shut up and how she was mental)

Had to then run back to the car and settle DD who was mightily unhappy at being left alone (it was only for 1 min at most, mind)

Was horrid! I'm not being a good samaritan again.

Lucky - that would be me who got into that type of situation too!!

Madmouse - what a horrible thing to happen!! Reminds me of when DS was about DD's age in tescos he was having massive meltdown and this little old dear/bitch went up to the buggy and started taking off his clothes saying he was hot!! We were in the freezer section, if anything he was a bit cold!!(not why he was crying though - he hated the buggy). I made an idiot of myself and just dropped shopping ran ran sobbing!! DH did not understand why I was so upset "She's just a stupid old cow" etc. I REALLY feel for you - Its an awful thing to happen, why don't some people mind their own business!!

Madmouse

Absolutely outrageous behaviour from the stupid......How dare anyone interfere like that!

You did well to restrain your hands!!!!

Sleep tight and listen to your parentS!!!

Just looking at feeding threads re DD and too scared to post!! World war 3 kicking off coz someone asked about ff and told she should be bfing!! Not posting now!!Sooo judgmental!!

Simpson

Know just how you feel! I put a message on another site about Boots and how annoyed I was that I couldn't use my Boots Advantage card to buy milk. I said I supported bf mums but what about the rights of bottle feeding mums.

She posted back that my children had rights too and I should be breast feeding.

I went back explaining that I had tried and my milk had not come in (why I was justifying it I don't know) and midwifes said enough is enough! I said that I knew my children had rights but they also had a right to eat and have a happy mum.

I was so angry!!!!!

Don't know what to suggest!

Hope everybody is out enjoying the sunshine!!

DS is in garden playing football with little boy from next door, DD having nap.

Might change DD's milk again as someone told me that aptamil & cow and gate is exactly the same being owned by same company but c & g is cheaper. Going to check it out later when I go shopping...

I popped over to have alook at the feeding sites. Thought I might put my two pennies worth in! They are so agressive - I agree I think I'll stay on the few threads I know!

Well I have good and bad news....
Good news is DD has learnt to roll from front to back.
Bad news is she did it on the changing table and fell off. Have just got back from an hour at A&E. DD has a graze on the top of her head and a bruise on the side. I've been told I have to keep disturbing her every hour that she's asleep and make sure she responds.

We were gonna go to the fete but I've decided it'll be too much for her and am staying in. I feel soooo guilty.
DP didn't help.... he said "She was developmentally ahead, if she goes backwards now we'll know why" Yeh thank hunny, just what I wanted to hear as if i'm not feeling guilty enough.

Re~: Feeding threads - I won't go near them anymore. I really don't like the way some people are on MN, I know BF is best but some people Can't do it so don't harass them for it as chances are they're feeling bad enough as it is.

I know Simpson, it gets a bit much on there.

Gingeme has gone away for the weekend.

MM. How dare she? A difficult thing to 'ignore' but certainly the woman was showing her own desire to be a know it all rather than commenting on you exactly. We all know what a wonderful mummy you have been to Nathan, and continue to be. It's blooming stressful enough when your baby is unhappy in public.

Lucky - hope DD ok? Definately not your fault, just one of those things. Ds fell off our bed once and when my brother was small I dropped him. (14 yr age gap between us) Hope you told DP off!

Mrs BakersGirl - it was a thread asking about organic ff. Was about to add message saying hipp organic when I realised it has got into bf V ff debate!! Ran for cover!!

for DD LUcky. DH and I were saying this morning we're going to have an accident at some point no matter how careful we are. DD leapt bacwards when I was holding her on my lap the other day. She nearly fell. Hope she gets on ok today.

Lucky - how is DD now?

She seems ok - back to her smiley self after sleeping since we got home.

Lucky - glad she is ok. Babies are quite tough little things.
