Bad mummy and weaning!
Well, ive got to ask, am i a bad mummy????
1. Was thinking about waiting till Arran is 27 weeks to start weaning, mainly coz i have a busy week next week when im due to start, and am going to a wedding the week he is 26-27 weeks so he is being left with granny. i thought it would be easier for me to wait till after it so i will be around and also it gives gran one thing less to worry about, having the 3 of them to deal with. Do we think this will be ok???
2. I brushed my 3 year olds teeth tonight and he is not great at it at the best of times, likes to cry and close his mouth etc. Well he started his usual crying then started saying yuk yuk, mummy its not toothpaste!! I realised i had savlon out coz he cut his knee yesterday and it was sitting on the sink and i put it on his toothbrush and started brushing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh dear, i think i must be having a bad mummy moment!!!

With Arran, i think you are doing the right thing by waiting, It could be quite stressful and it's a whole new thing for him, he will want his mummy around. You don't want to be worrying about purees etc when you have so much on. One week isn't going to make any difference!

Re 1. Sam is one day short of 27 weeks when he is 6 months old on 23 August so I'm sure you'll be fine!
Re 2. Your poor poor poor little boy! lol!!

that doesnt make me feel so bad about waiting for arran, he is 6 months the day after he is 26 weeks so i suppose an extra 6 days wont matter!

(i did take him to hosp that time by the way)
btw - i did take her back out and put her in the backseat!
I see you are selling your bumbo?? i just bought one and arran has been in it 3 times but he twists round and sticks him bum up to get out of it, so im going to fire mine back on ebay too.
Yeah i'm selling it, Emily does the same as Arran and goes rigid and tries to flip herself out of it! She has nearly flipped out of it a few times so i am not happy to put her in it anymore. I got it from ebay in the first place so it's no great loss! I think Emily just doesn't like being restricted in it, she much prefers her jumperoo
I really don't think 6 days will matter, it's not like he is watching the calender waiting to be 6 months to suddenly decide he is desperate for food is it?!!!
I got a bumbo this week and F has learnt to pull the tray off already and he leans sideways and starts to slide out of it. Glad I didn't pay ??35 for it!!
I'm only keeping her really pretty dresses or outfits that have more sentimental value, like her first babygrows etc. Not sure if there will be a No. 2 so just keeping her nice stuff. I'm planning on getting a baby sized doll so she can use her tiny clothes to dress it up

All my babygrows/vests etc have done all 3 of my boys. I keep saying thats why we have had 3 kids, so we get our moneys worth from the clothes, pram, car seats etc!!! All the stuff is going this time tho. Going to car boot soon and flog it all
I had so many baby grows that were hardly worn, i just thought i would sell them and use the money to get Emily more pretty stuff
I've sold some bigger things as well like her crib and her swing as it was huge and we had no storage space. Got a good price for both so Emily got a lovely new walker and swimming lessons, going next week to get the highchair! eek!
As for weaning I think you'll be fine wating esp' if aaron is a happy bunny on his milk anyway!
Ethan also is not keen on his bumpo and just starts to buckaroo to get himself out of it lol. xx
Hi Em7, LOL!!! My neice and nephew did that to my oh once. They were doing him up and putting lippy etc on him and got a bit carried away and painted nailpolish all over his face!!! It was fun trying to get it off!!!
