Good lord, I read that as me sharing info on ravaged fanjos and postnatal sex and was really quite

Punning a v important part of parenting, imo.

DId you write it blouse? I didn't know that (hadn't read thread properly). It's v good.

heehee, think you just give some ladylike advice on breastfeeding and maybe sleeping. Custardo has a brilliant line about her husband being a fat bastard. I found you, ShowofHands, in stretchmarks...

Awhh, shucks, policywonk. thank you. We almost met at the party but I was slightly inebriated and simply recognised you from afar...

You should have said hello!

Am I in it????

Me, ladylike? Oh, good

Advice on bfing though - that doesn't sound like me

Down in the 2000s again. Fab, I don't think you are - the book was written nearly a year ago and I think you have become prlific since then?

I think it was written too long ago for me to be in it. I've not been here all that long and don't post a lot really.

I'll get it for my sister who is due to have her 1st dc any day. She hasn't taken any of my advice so far, so maybe she'll listen to some of you

I had this book on my wishlist since the end of last year because I loved the MN Guide to Pregnancy so so much - it was by far the best pregancy book I read. And I read A Lot of these books.

I knew that the book on babies would be a touch late for me - DS is 11 weeks old now - and I have been glued to the MN forums via my phone (v excited about the prospect of a MN app btw) during the long long hours of breastfeeding, so have already picked up lots of tips that way. Still, it's a great book, and I love the format and the tone - both books have made me laugh out loud and they are just so dry and direct and non-judgemental.

From a professional pov my only criticism would be I was surprised the cover photography wasn't bespoke - I got my Sainsbury's Little Ones welcome magazine just days after and the same photo is on the cover.

Will be buying the Toddler one in due course!

Congratulations on your DS, Usernameangst (like the name!).

I have been here for over 4 years but under different names.

If you tell me your aliases, Fab, I can tell you whether you are in it...

Variations on fab and nabster..

Hmm, were you fabiocatello?

I don't suppose that 5 years on MN has earned me a single quote has it? I mostly just agree with other folk!

No but that is a great name .

Write on on teenagers and I can give you lots of quotes about those.

Although I doubt my fanjo or norks (or DH's testicles) will make much of an appearance.

I can't find you, Can'tSleep, but there was not a very scientific process for selection. I think you are in, though, BIWI...

Oooh am I? How on earth would I have managed that?

im in it
on my MIL
and laods of stuff tbh
god i talk too much

You are well-disguised, though, No 1.

That hyphen looks wrong...

Am I in it I'll buy it if I am !

You'll have to tell her your old name mrm for her to search you properly.
