Ooh, a discussion on forward facing car seats, yay! We haven't even looked because - viva, join us! - Mothercare refused to show us any because Iestyn is too small... He's not 20lb yet. I saw it as a money saver but I now have a new worry about carrying Iestyn to school in a sling and he's bullied...or maybe just trodden on... Being quite stupid, I don't know what the difference is between Isofix and non-Isofix. My car has Isofix bits in the back, so should I go for Isofix? And what's the best one according to Which, people with subscriptions?
Deb sorry totally forgot to answer your hayfever question here. Who's suffering, not Ethan? Because he's too young to have honey. Apparently, eating loads of local honey helps build up your resistance to local pollen. But I'm not sure how successful it is, to be honest: anecdotal, possibly. Still, it's a lovely thing to try and doesn't involve injections/pain/nastiness. But here. The teary eye is so not hayfever - I've seen Tim with blood red eyes during a really bad attack!
I'd also put in a vote for a Medical Herbalist for this too - seems the king of thing they could help with.
On the topic of hayfever, does anyone know when symptoms might appear? Tim has dreadful hayfever (or it was crippling when he was in his teens but is a bit better now, still quite bad though). I said to my FIL jokingly (must learn that he always misses the point...) that maybe it would skip a generation, and FIL said no way, Tim has it, he has it, his father had it. FIL doesn't really accept that Iestyn might have any of my genes! I did counter it, but I don't want to annoy people with hayfever. Anyhow, say Iestyn gets it, when would I know? We're surrounded by agriculture and crops here!!
