hunker - little ducks was quoting someone from that numpty site

SMB - am not upset dont worry
Am just kiting off codeine and thought i'd add in a little known fact. STreptomycin (and various other 'mycin's) cause nerve damage - namely to the cochlea so cause deafness, and, can also affect the heart. Definitely worth still having it though. Side effects from mycin are not lifethreatening like meningitis.

Phew!

I didn't actually read the thread linked to in the OP. I didn't fancy [incandescence] this evening... [pre-menstrual]

No, definitely better than meningitis but still not nice-

scorpio1 · 24/10/2008 21:52

hate the way that OP says 'greedy'

All these babies seem to be bottlefed too.

(am not anti FF, have done it myself twice and now BF dd)

BouncingTurtleSkulls · 24/10/2008 21:55

Ha! I pureed steak and chips for my baby when he was 4 weeks - I just made a bigger whole in the teat so he could guzzle it down

I suffer from IBS =, and I have always believed it is linked to my being weaned at 12 weeks... though my mother still insists I turned out fine...

SharpMolarBear · 24/10/2008 21:56

I hope he had mushy peas as well, veg you know

AnarchyAunt · 24/10/2008 21:57

Are chips not veg then?

Bugger.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 24/10/2008 21:59

oh no - not peas. Chips. Potatoes are veg after all.

BouncingTurtleSkulls · 24/10/2008 21:59

Asda smartprice mushy peas, I'll have you know

BouncingTurtleSkulls · 24/10/2008 22:00

By the time ds was 12 weeks, I had him on the 3 major food groups - beer, pizza and chocolate

AnarchyAunt · 24/10/2008 22:04

What a clever lil man you have got BouncingTurtle!

Did the beer help him sleep through?

BouncingTurtleSkulls · 24/10/2008 22:07

No I think it was the vodka.

Right must go to bed...

pudding25 · 24/10/2008 22:33

Whisky is the way to go surely. DD slept through from 2 days old with some whisky rubbed on my nips (and a joint when she woke up in the middle of the night).

LackaDAISYcal · 24/10/2008 22:49

interesting that the woman who started with a teaspoon of baby rice for two weeks because her baby started waking up didn't actually say that it had made the baby sleep

and that we have some of the same opinions on Mumsnet

tiktok · 25/10/2008 12:50

"....She has some veggies with cheese sauce but I make this with her own milk rather than cows milk so as not to overdo the dairy. "

Er..........what does she think formula is made of?

AnarchyAunt · 25/10/2008 12:51

I wondered that...

monkeymonkeymonkey · 25/10/2008 12:59

I'm shocked by the number of people who dont think that formula is made from cows milk. Even some very educated people. Do you think there are people who FF who would breastfeed if they knew that formula was cows milk?

Bucharest · 25/10/2008 13:15

I'm just surprised that there hasn't been some government funded research into the very obvious links between fuckwit weaning methods and the inability in later life to spell....

LackaDAISYcal · 25/10/2008 14:39

I saw that too tiktok!

Perhaps once the baby food mfrs have finally changed their labelling the message will get through?

TinkerBellesMum · 25/10/2008 15:08

I tried to read that thread but couldn't get past the first page, it took me two attempts at that!

I can't remember the ID of the poster with twins, but I just thought I'd point out that you won't find many people on MN who will shoot you for weaning at 5.5 months, the popular time around here seems to be 24-26 weeks.
