Yo Yo All! I'm another naughty like Erica posting at work when I should be working

Oh yes, my bub can be damn tricky getting her to eat too, she gets so frantic about loving her food she flaps her arms about and I can't get it to her, then she gets upset and wants to get out of her chair and starts wiggling like a fish. I have to have a hoard of prepared toys for her to play with (then drop) to keep her hands out of the way, she loves to put things in her own mouth so you'd think BLS would be the way to go. But every time I try for BLS type foods i REGRET it big time, she is a real choker. Not just a gagger, she has a very strong gag reflex, but a choker, as in choking (so no noise at all) I turn her and whack her sharply between her shoulder blades (as per text book) and she coughs it up with vomit. So I have a few finger foods I've learned she can have, but am mostly giving her chunky solids. And she eats a fair whack at lunch and dinner, not much usually at breakfast after her morning BF, what can you do, offer them milk feeds and solids, but the ball is in their court after that - unless they start dropping weight or get constipated - they must be going alright I reckon.

Anyone else got a naughty, naughty bub who just crawls about and puts anything they find in their mouth!? DD1 NEVER did this, DD2 I am literally afraid to let out of my sight, DH or I sweep a couple of times a day and vacuum every night because any little thing she comes across she puts in her mouth. Twice now she's almost choked on gumnuts, no idea the first time how she got it, DH thinks it fell into her pram while he was walking her, but he didn't know she had it in her mouth till she started spluttering and choking while he tried to feed her and she coughed out a gumnut! I can't put her on the grass because she instantly starts pulling it out and leaves and putting them in her mouth, trying to swallow them, seriously what is with this kid!

L is doing the same thing as the rest of yours by the sounds of it with the commando crawling everywhere, including down the step and up the step between my house and my parents flat - pulling herself up and cruising along furniture, occasionally caning herself big time, I think she'll walk next month the way she's going. I don't think that's an indication they're going to be difficult at all though, actually with DD1 I found once she could get around on her own, life got easier for me as she was happier to follow me about, or play in the teatowell drawer and was less frustrated at her limitations.

DD2 has started accepting a bottle again, DH isn't offering it to her even when I'm at work now, but it's good to have up the sleeve - which I have mixed feelings about, I kind of loved only being the Booby mumma after putting in so much work to get there, but also, felt like well, now I can't leave her at all in the evenings, so now I'm hoping for best of both worlds.

Ooooh, I don't know if you can all tell by my rambling, but I am feeling fan-freaking-tastic today, I slept for 8 hours last night, I have not slept that long since Lilah has been born and I feel like a new person! Had a total crap heap of a month last month, L was waking every 40 min to 1.5 all night for a week and I wanted to tear my own eyeballs out and throw them at her! I decided enough was enough as she was only fairy sucking when I put her to the breast, so I bit the bullet and for my own sanity let her CIO the next evening when I put her to bed, you know how it goes, she started to cry in her room and I started to cry in the loungeroom, and 15 minutes later she was asleep and has slept like an angel ever since in her own cot, with me just putting her down with teddy and kissing her goodnight. So, gentle parenting site or not, CIO Absolutely works for some people and I am soooo happy I did it.

Ok, I suppose I'd better actually work now and stop being so naughty. Luckily for me the last creepy accountant we had in did something to my computer that stops it from tracking history prob so he could look at porn as the other girl saw him doing once, shudder. Must run ladies
