aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhsplutter

Ah thats better.

I know, I know, I can do nothing at all about it, its not my business, I don't have to look...... But aaaarrrrgghhh.

Now, now VVVQ!!! Don't go bein mean, hun! All us peeps are just tryin to do wots best 4 are bubz!

(((((((((((((((((((hugz))))))))))))))))))))

lololol at hollywood. she'll stick around now for sure, at least until she can call us all a bunch of scuntsthorpes without causing an uproar (or even a ripple of interest, tbh).

anyhoo. i do think that bounty have no place in our hospitals. it's a fucking disgrace imo. i'm up for any campaign that petitions to get them to fuck. bounty woman nipped my head when dd was born recently.

Aitch,Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaitch! Don't go yet!! Can I ask a question??

Do you recommend starting with chicken?? I thought it might be a little stringy??

Hope you and your lo are ok!!

well, it's all about you and your kid, not what everyone else does. but as it happens, yes, dd did find chicken breast a bit stringy and dry in the beginning (or it may just be my cooking).
she did much better with bits of leg/thigh, that sort of thing. i used to give her the teardrop-shaped bit of a leg (you know the bit i mean) and she'd suck and chew at it for the flavour more than the eating experience. she loved meat (still does), but in the early days it was more as a teether than a food stuff as i recall.

oh, and thanks for good wishes. lo asleep for suspiciously long time. i suspect she'll be up all night.

"nipped my head"...?

I can be nice....they are guidelines too though arent they? Surely NICE would be rejected

oh good! Thank you. Didn't know if it might have been too much for him.

Ooh no. Dont give chicken. Wouldnt want him to choke on his chicken

you'll soon find out, stretchy. if it's too much, he'll gag it out and you can try him with another bit of the chicken from someone else's plate.

yes, veev, it is a well-kent expression here. means 'she irritated me'.

deesgusting lady.

I HAVE to go to bed, ds is (dare I say it) asleep!!

Night zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

OMG VVVQ!!! My SON!!

I'm ever so sorry. Am in a very silly mood this even.

Aitch, if you'd have said "nipped ma heed" I would have assumed it was a local saying and skimmed past it...it's when you try and put on this darned southern accent it throws me

i think you'll find it's spelled 'heid'. [mcpedant]

ah. I was using the southern phonetic spelling

[bullshit]

nobody likes a smart-arse. [smart-arse]

we all need to email bounty and tell them to get that early weaning thing on 0-3 and 4-6 aswell. hopefully if we all do it they'll put it on there. tbh i don't see why they aren't anyway. it's not like it makes a difference to them ... oh yes but it does doesn't it. makes me sick!

i can't even be arsed to read the don't shoot me thread. it is waaaaaaaaaay too long!!

Has anyone pointed out on there about the back to sleep campaign??? They go on about they are only guidlines and didn't do us any harm but do they follow back to sleep and if so, why not weaning guidelines?? Sleeping on back was proven to reduce SIDs so guidelines changed (in between 2 of my kids, year apart) everyone followed those guidelines, I don't get why weaning isn't the same

Would love to know their answers to that

scaredoflove i hate to be the one to tell you but there are quite a few bounty mums that are above any guidelines i have been horrified by posts since i've been in 0-3 on putting small babies to sleep on their fronts. a taster

Also the numerous threads about still smoking whilst pregnant saddened me in my due in month. I spent 9 months sitting on my hands so i didn't tell them what i thought of their attitudes towards that. Some were even convinced it did their baby no harm and had smoked through every pregnancy with the added bonus of getting extra scans because they are a smoker..

Regarding babies sleeping through mine seemed to come without a sleep button that made her sleep 12 hours, or 10 or 6 or anything worth mentioning till she was 19 months god help me Fact is some babies just don't sleep until alot older, i'm sick of reading posts on bounty like 'my ds is 3 weeks and still not sleeping through... i can't cope with the sleep deprivation.. how long should i leave him to cry' arrrgggghhhhh they're babies they aren't all programmed to do the same thing at set times. Why oh why do i keep reading their posts.. i may just daily bash my head against a wall to make it hurt from that instead.

I dread to think the advice bounty mums would have given me on my dd, she did have a spell of sleeping through from 9-12 weeks slept an incredible 10-12 hrs every night. Then it all went horribly wrong, but i didn't wean her and i carried on breastfeeding on demand, i never saw that as a sign she was hungry, i saw it as as things had changed, as they do, and she was just crap at sleeping for very long in a row

And i just want to shout at them all, CUDDLE YOUR BABIES GODDAMIT why do they believe babies can be spoilt with too much affection??? I keep stopping myself from posting studies on babies that are carried/held alot cry less, are more secure, alert etc etc but i know they all know better and leaving a little baby to 'cry it out' till they learn their lesson is much better...

Sorry i seem to be rather riled today by bounty but i haven't slept properly for the last 2 years so i'm allowed to be a bit narky me thinks

I think the way to go with bounty is you don't agree/have something nice to say don't post. They are all good mummies just doing thier best

They are not at all just making each other feel better as opposed to seeking real opinions.

Your right there doing there best, i should of known that, now i no where i'd rather post, do you think i've spent to much time on bounty???

Oh my god

There or their or maybe even they're at it again.

Are these people for real??

my.bounty.com/forums/post/139/1618007/1/1/1/baby-rice-in-milk.htm

a new one for you. baby rice/rusk at 9 weeks - plus people using goodnight milk (for 6 months plus) on 0-3.

go have fun

happy camper, we cross posted!

just realised they are actually two different threads on there we've posted to. God, are there that many people who think baby rice at 9 weeks is a good idea???

the ones that make me laugh are the ones that say they give baby rice - but they arent weaning yet. Um, whats baby rice then???? Its like they think baby rice is some magically substance not known as a food or drink.....

I found one post yesterday about someone condoning controlled crying. Then they went on to say that their child cried all day and they had no idea why - maybe because they get no attention at night, are a young baby and want a cuddle??????
