Hey Ladies :wave:

Welcome babybefore

Well Ladies I DID IT I handed in my MATB1 and my letter telling my boss I am going on Mat Leave as of 26th Feb He didnt really say much just acted today as if he has the weight of the world on his shoulders which made me feel a little guilty BUT I know its for the best We are having a meet apparently tomorrow to re-assess my risk assessment (I think he got a slap on the wrist by health&safety as they didnt get my paperwork for my initial risk assessment!) and also to discuss the grievance I raised but am sure we will discuss my Mat Leave too. All in all not a bad day

Good for you Peanut seems like we have both had a productive working day

Gilz I agree with madcat ebay bargains are easier to come by in the daytime when people are at work I have completed Charlies 0-3mth wardrobe this way and also check out the for sale section on bnb lots of wonderful bargains to be had I`ve bought some lovely clothes from bnb members...you too madcat check it out

Lovely pram ozzieshunni

Glad you like your little bundle Molly I listed everything else on ebay now for my sister still lots of lovely little bits left I will let you know as soon as she sorts 6-9mth out

Well weird comment of the day....OMG YOUR NOT PREGNANT ARE YOU? MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YEAH HUGE BUMP ALERT

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

In case anyone has been seeing all this BF nonsense being consistently mis-reported in the media (I assume the row in 2nd tri started from this) have a look here for the truth:

Peanut bizarely my 22yr old MALE kitchen assistant ramdomly starting talking to me about this today

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Ugh, I hate the BF/FF drama. It's a mother's personal choice to BF or FF and no one should try and change her mind. I know that I'm going to try to BF the best I can, but I'm not going to beat myself up if I can't nor would I try and change someone's mind that decided to FF. In my mind, as long as a child is being fed and cared for, what's the big deal? Aren't there bigger issues in the world, like children who DON'T get enough to eat?

Sorry, rant over

 

[molly85]

That artical says to me you can give solids from 4 mnths if you wish and your not causing harm but feel free to carry on BFing or FFing which ever you are already doing. Not that it covers FFing but presuambly if you haven't BFed to to 4mnths you can hardly start then

 

[molly85]

ohhh Madly you naughty creature. matt was as pleased as a bloke can get when you waggle pink clothes at him got more on the way to lol. now should I look 0-3 to or leave that to people sending gifts lol??

 

[PeanutBean]

That's the point Ozzie, this ha nothing to do with FF and is totally being mis reported and misinterpreted.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Blah they want to make up there minds....When I had Oliver the criteria for weaning had just been changed to 6mths old but my best friend who had had her DD 16mths prior weaning her at 3mths old...my sister was told 6-9mths old when she had my niece and now apparently 4mths is ok Personally I weaned Oliver one week before he was 4mths old because he was ready he use to sit and drool at me and David as we ate and he has never had any problems infact hes a great eater.

Did I mention to you Ladies sort of going off on one here that the school nurse rang me yesterday about Olivers weight/height/vision test that they carried out. Apparently my 5yr old son is very overweight Hes fooking 5yrs old tall broad and not an ounce of fat on his bones and his BMI is apparently in the 100th centile when it should be in the 91-98th. I said to the nurse `look am not being funny love I know you weighed and measure him but did you actually `look` at him?` Apparently they did wonder if they had mis-weighed him so weighed him again just to be sure My Little man said to me yesterday `Mummy they kept asking me to get back on scales and kept saying `no this isnt right`! Great isnt it my 5yr old child has been branded FAT by the school nurse David said `cheeky bleeders!`

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Madly, I am so opposed to using the BMI as an indicator of whether a child is overweight or not. I won't go into it here, but I think it creates poor body image for a child. I hope you really give the nurse a good talking to! I'm glad that they don't do this weight/height shite in the US. We're planning on moving back to California before LO starts school so I'm glad she/he won't have to go through that!

 

[molly85]

so its the fat nurse now instead of teh nit nurse nice. matts bro is teh same at 15 has grown in proportion instead of having that teenaged stretched look. Tell em to bugger off, BMI is teh most in accurate form or meausment known to man. most rugby players are considered obease any wnat to tell them they are fat?

 

[PeanutBean]

I'm sorry but he is 'meant' to be on the 91-98th centile (therefore could be at 98) and they're concerned he's on the 100? Jeez..... Glad you gave it to 'em!

 

[vbaby3]

I started spoon feeding my 2 boys at 4 months too,it was the recommendation over here at the time anyway.They were both well ready for it by then!
Thats a disgrace madly,you put a pic of oliver up before and he is perfect!
I remember a couple yrs ago speaking to my gp about my weight and bmi's.I'm 5ft 11 and even when i've been at the heaviest point of what they say is healthy i'm actually pretty scrawny looking!!!
My gp said not to worry about bmi's,and actually suggested i'd be just right at about a stone heavier than their recommendations
Its all a load of bull,and unless a child is very obviously overweight there should never be an issue!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I could see my OH's ribs at one point and they said he was not underweight because his BMI was fine. Load of crap.

 

[madcatwoman]

vbaby, im glad im not the only one who could eat my own weight in food, particually chocolate, i gone and done it again!!- had a wispa this morning, and a cream egg this afternoon, but its not enough, obviously, i can honestly say in all my days ive never ever felt this hungry!!!

peanut, i cant believe you've thrown up again, well, i can,but you know what i mean.

yeh, i had to get some more baby stuff, i had about 4 outfits and a pair of shoes and thought if didnt pull my finger out id be here this time in may with a baby, nothing to sleep in, nothing to wear and nothing to carry his bits and bobs around in!.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Well tbh Ladies David said just to put the letter in the bin Yeah we got a letter AND a phone call He really isnt overweight and for a child that wont eat sweets but like chocolate and buns/puddings which we control I dont see theres any problem at all. Hes well active and never keeps still its not likes hes puffing after running around or anything like that BUT apparently it can cause problems in later life Hes really tall and broad for his age and although 5yrs old is in 6-7yrs old clothes because he tall and long and they grow short quickly...they fall down though unless I get those waist elastic pants and pull them into the tightest notch Its totally riddick...so I agree with David we will just ignore it

 

[molly85]

grrrrr on your behalf Madly.
Ohh got to go do my risk assessment on 21st lol and may pay has been reinstated woops thats the budget i'm eatting into. Matt wants to got to sleep odd boy

 

[sequeena]

I really hate BMI and the other charts, talk about making people even more paranoid over their weight

 

[molly85]

Hehe I have challenged matt to put the push chair together. I think im going to need the plasters lol

 

[sequeena]

Hehe I have challenged matt to put the push chair together. I think im going to need the plasters lol
