Apples can be a bit scary - that 'achchchchchchchch' noise when a BIG chunk gets in the back of the throat.....

aDad · 02/05/2007 17:32

great stuff

ProfYaffle · 02/05/2007 17:43

I'm surprised they didn't publish a link to Aitch's blog.

tiktok · 02/05/2007 19:28

They did - it's there, all right.

AitchTwoOh · 02/05/2007 19:35

did they tiktok? blimey...

tiktok · 02/05/2007 23:48

Whoops, sorry, aitch, the link is to Gill Rapley's stuff....

AitchTwoOh · 03/05/2007 00:29

it's actually to the Stefan Kleintjes dutch bfing website and my blog is recommended on there as a top BLW resource... and if you happen to read Dutch, that's great!

tis a good article i think but all the mums at the bf group i go to all of them are doing mush til 6 mo then trying 'finger foods' they won't listen to me re dont start til 6 mo never mind the hv's

Side issue to this, is this magazine supposed to be sent to NCT members or not? We (along with the gullible middle class hordes) joined NCT in addition to shelling out for the course. Since then... not a peep.

So is the membership fee just an optional charity payment to support the NCT's valuable social networking role?

If you are e member, Gee, you will get it. But the mailing takes several days to complete. If you have heard nothing more since you joined, then chase it up - just as you would if you had bought anything else and not seen anything for your money

zakismum · 03/05/2007 11:00

Aitch, what's the link to your blog? I'd be interested to read it

ProfYaffle · 03/05/2007 11:50

here I've got it bookmarked for when dd2 gets to 6 months!

aDad · 03/05/2007 11:52

zakismum voila

aDad · 03/05/2007 11:52

ah too slow

AitchTwoOh · 03/05/2007 11:56

aaah, can i get you to re-bookmark it under www.babyledweaning.com, just in case i one day manage to extricate myself from the blogware company?

ProfYaffle · 03/05/2007 11:57

Will do

AitchTwoOh · 03/05/2007 12:00

thank you professor, you are a very wise carved wooden book end...
