Yer I do - Is it legal to still put baby outside in pram to cry it out?

























































JOKE

Tezzy

yeah yeah i bet!!!

pmsl!

Wobbles

I wouldn't do that to my Caitlin ...

I'd send her Daddy with her

Jo

Ahhh it'll be fine i send Jack in the garden to play with stray dogs, resiliant little buggers are kids










Seriously though like Terrie says (sorry can't get used to Tezzy ) they wil just fit in with naps etc... like if we are in the house (tired from playing with strays) Jack will usually have a sleep after dinner, but if we are out and about anywhere he can easily go with out it and it doesn't mess the routine up that he has

i changed my username because somebody was logging on as me who wasnt me.... i cant get used to tezzy either i changed my password too so maybe in a few weeks it will be safe to change it back to Terrie, i dont like not using my name, i like people to know who theyre talking to!

Helen

Ooohhhhh wondered why you'd changed it cos I couldn't get used to Tezzy either!

I'd say my two work round me to a certain extent. By which I mean I make sure they take naps at the same time, they're in bed by 7.30 at night or I vary meal times/nap times if I'm going out or we have to be somewhere. Generally speaking though they set their own schedule and it pretty much fits mine.... maybe they've got me working round their schedule....

I agree with Terrie, you can't get them into an amazing routine when they're that young I don't think. We used to let Bethanie do her own thing and she still gets away with murder now. It does get easier as they get older though, but you're always going to have new problems cropping up - for example, it's not only 4 hourly milk I think about now.. it's all mealtimes, milk, how to keep her entertained, how to stop her having tantrums etc etc!! oh and this new game called "lets wait until mummy has put all my 58 nappies in a shelf, then pull them all down!" lol

That is good advice though, basically don't put yourself out too much.. it's your life, let your little one adjust to it, not vice versa (this will be easier to do soon). For now id just relax and let her boss you about! When we found out we were pregnant my mum told me that we wouldn't be able to do much with a baby, but it's not true.. we go out for meals and stuff still, no problems.. it only has to be a problem if you choose for it to be. Sure, you can't go out whenever/wherever but it's not as awkward as some people make out!

Some of our friends have a 4 month old baby and they were very keen to say that having her would not change them and she would have to fit in around them! I have a naughty laugh to myself I do think children need routine as they get older but when they are young you are pretty much at their beck and call. A hungry newborn does not like waiting to be fed as my friends have found out!

lol coccyx I remember saying on another pregnancy forum something along the lines of "im sure it won't be that hard, i'll still have time to put a bit of make up on" - shock shock shock.. ok I do make myself put my face on every day even if im not going out BUT I now know that I can do a whole make up in 3 minutes.. learnt the hard way.

Wobbles

LMAO relate to that along with other things yet she sleeps alot and Im still lost!
