Mom ds2 is in big chunky nappies and has been rolling for a month. Ds1 was also in cloth and was walking by 11 months. Clearly it's all in the genes and my children are advanced unfortunately I know that all the studies show it has no bearing on future intelligence. Also I think the physical verses speech bares out too, as ds1 walked early but didn't speak til he was over 2, now I can't shut him up!!!!
LadyT I know if someone had told me what I was supposedly 'missing' when I was sans children I probably wouldn't have listened, while I love my boys there are so many things that I know I may/will never get to do in my life. So while some people may worry they are missing something for not having kids in other ways they can gain. I also get a bit riled when I hear people have a go at people who decide not to have children, it's none of their beezwax. Oh and lady I am so looking forward to the new season thanks for letting me know about the first episode I will be prepared now. Also I gather there is a place called Badminton, not that you are trialing an all horse Badminton team.
Kayz I think those evil ladies at your class are Chelsea fans I have put the dark light on them.
Period pain remedies I have a very good one, copious amounts of Neurofen! Diclofenic if you have it, when I was on a detox once and couldn't have my beloved neurofen I had sprigs of rosemary in hot water and hot water bottles, it did not cut it. You would all be quite surprised to know that I am quite a druggy underneath this naturalist exterior. I just found for the boys that natural stuff works faster and is more effective, I think my pain receptors have been ruined by years of anti inflammatories.
Speaking of which, Spot, with my nursey western medicine hat on I think your DS need his chest listened to by someone who has a proper baby stethascope and possibly an Atrovent inhaler. Ventolin doesn't work on under 12 month olds because their lung muscles aren't matured to the level of utilizing it yet. With my lentil weaving wholemeal hat on I would recommend seeing a homeopath. It might be that his system needs a bit of support. It may not be that the formula is not right for him but that his bowels are all a bit sensitive and inflammed it can take a while to calm down and is a bit catch 22 because to completely calm it down you would need to rest it but of course resting it would pretty march starve and dehydrate him so cannot be done, so it will take some time. Not sure if that helps. If it is an intolerance issue that could also account for his cough, what is his skin like at the moment.
