Has anyone put their name down for going to the baby show? I was just wondering if anyone had any plans on erm... chatting to Bounty?

jop64 · 09/10/2008 09:18

Now there's an idea! When's the baby show? I'm not sure I'd be the best person to do it but it could be an ideal oppportunity!

TinkerBellesMum · 09/10/2008 09:25

Next weekend, 17-19 at Earl's Court.

jop64 · 09/10/2008 09:27

Then I'm out of the running I'm afraid, we're off on our jollies for a couple of weeks

VictorianSqualorSquelchNSquirm · 09/10/2008 09:34

You know what tink, I said I didn't think MN should go, and I still don't but I DO think some MNers should go and question bounty about their forum and unethical marketing.

stretchmarkSCREAM · 09/10/2008 09:48

Hi all!! I think this thread should be renamed,
'And again..!!'

Good reply vs to the lady whos baby is 'FTT', alledgedly(sp). Nobody seems to get ANY good advice!

TinkerBellesMum · 09/10/2008 09:53

I'd be interested to hear what happens if someone is able to do that. I'm in London that weekend, but don't know if we'll be going.

VictorianSqualorSquelchNSquirm · 09/10/2008 10:00

I'll have a word with DP.
See if we can go, I don't want to do it by myself though!

TinkerBellesMum · 09/10/2008 10:03

We should get a list of who can go and descend on them [evil] en masse!

stretchmarkSCREAM · 09/10/2008 10:07

I would love to but its my b day on 17, and I get married a week later, so have lots to do. Am gutted because I would have gone.

VS, is it ok if I give out your blog address to people, namely my HV, MW and my sis?

happycamper10180 · 09/10/2008 10:09

I've just found the bounty guide to weaning. And it's actually not all that bad. Just a shame they don't tell people on the forum...

"Checklist: is your baby ready to eat?
You may want to consider introducing first foods when your baby:

Does not seem satisfied with the usual amount of milk and starts to demand more feeds.
Appears to be more restless and starts to wake in the night, especially if he has learned to sleep through.
Shows an interest in your food. "

stretchmarkSCREAM · 09/10/2008 10:13

"Not too late
Most babies are ready to try new foods by the age of six months because:

The stores of iron that babies are born with are running out; babies need to get new iron from foods.
Milk is a bulky food; babies have to take more and more of it to meet their needs whereas solid foods are more concentrated.
Their jaw and tongue have developed enough to cope with eating and swallowing foods.
The process of learning how to deal with foods helps a baby?s mouth and tongue to develop and helps a baby prepare for speech.
Most babies begin to cut teeth by six months.
Many babies begin to pick up things and put them in their mouth; a sign they?re ready to experiment with new tastes! "

nappyaddict · 09/10/2008 11:49

stretchmarkSCREAM · 09/10/2008 11:58

That's good though, no more weaning threads on 0-3 months!

VictorianSqualorSquelchNSquirm · 09/10/2008 12:10

Sure SMS

nappyaddict · 09/10/2008 12:21

stretchmarkSCREAM · 09/10/2008 13:13

Just be careful you don't get banned like vs did, for recommending another forum!

nappyaddict · 09/10/2008 13:27

that's why i did it privately and not on the thread.

AnarchyAunt · 09/10/2008 13:34
