What's the stuipedist?

[h33]

Hiya

Thought i would add something that everyone can join in so everyone else knows we all make stuiped mistakes first time round somethimes even second.

What's the stuipedist thing you did with your baby that when you look back on think i can't believe i did that ?

When Willow was a baby everyone was telling me to give her water, so i did and she never drank it always cried when i gave it to her so i just stopped about 2 months later i noticed another mum giving her baby water WARM i gave it to her straight from the fridge poor bugger!

PLease tell me i'm not the only one who does these stuiped things

when we had a bottle warmer (second hand one) first time round, we wondered why the bottles were melting and the bottom of the milk was getting burnt. We thought it was the bottle warmers fault and chucked it away.

When Callum came along, we used the bottle warmer in SCBU, and realised you have to put water in it

I was running upstairs with Katie and I dropped her. She hit her face on the bare floorboards. She was OK but I was extremely upset for a couple of days.

When Emma was about 6 months old I sat her on the edge of our bed and of course she rolled off and fell head first onto the floor. She was thankfully ok, but I felt like such a stupid bloody idiot, I think I cried more than she did.

aww

are you having much more luck with the art of dressing a screaming baby, icecream?


i do stupid things like walk out the house with alices dummy in my gob or attached to me on a chain. almost walked out with my hair in a towel the other day! luckly OH reminded me!!

 

[Icecream]

We all do forgetful things like that Sam.

I am working out Katie's moods slowly, and she seems to be quiet when she's fed or is already contented, but sometimes she just has to be dressed first. I went to baby massage today and one of the women running the group stroked her head while I changed her, but of course when I tried it at home it didn't work, so I just got on with it as quick as I could..

 

[mum2A&L]

always the way!

i can do anything with alice when we are at baby massage, but as soon as we get home, nope, she won't do a thing! was moaning the otherday that alice hates being on her belly. so i try and pop her on her belly and she acts like she loves it! next day, i try and pop her on her belly, and she screams the place down

at one point i took to distracting alice with the tv whilst i dressed her!

Sometimes I can distract her with her teddy bear, but when she is very upset nothing works. It is the same if she is hungry and I don't pick her up straight away. She gets so upset tha I can't calm her down, but she won't go on the breast till she is calm either.

Leorah used to hate getting dressed or having her nappy changed so we put a disco ball above her changing table and it worked like magic! When the other babies from mother group come around they love it too. She still gets really excited by it and gets impatient and kicks her legs if I haven't switched it on quick enough

Also with the feeding Icecream, Leorah was like this too but believe me as she gets older it's all getting easier and I almost forgot how she could scream and not be able to switch off enough to feed. Once they start having other ways to communicate it gets easier and having a little drama queen is so much fun even though it's exhausting. Sounds like you also have a little diva on your hands but life will never be boring

Recently Brody kept waking up every hour in the night, really upset, I felt his nappy and sniffed his bum , gave him bonjela and everything but he still woke up all night. When I got him up and dressed him in the morning he had terrible nappy rash that had come from nowhere! I felt bad cos I only squeezed his nappy and it wasn't full and didn't smell so I didn't look.
