Phoenix - I thought it was odd too, especially when I've known babies who didn't crawl at all. I hate it how we're continually told, "all babies develop at different rates" but then they still call bubs like mine underdeveloped. Pfft!! I just smile and say, no worries!

NikW - Happy birthday for your beautiful one for tomorrow! Hope it's a great day for you both. I agree on the MCHN. I've changed once already - the previous one got really annoyed with me on one occassion because the centre gave me an appointment at 12 and she wanted to have lunch. She spent five minutes with us and it was right when we were about to start solids. The advice she gave me - she handed me a piece of paper with some pictures of food on it and told me that's all I'd need. Cheers!! The one I see is more thorough and she's really friendly, but a lot older and definitely by the book. Oh well, don't have to go back for a while.

DD had her needles last night, poor munchkin. One in each arm and one in her leg. She's just about had enough of all the poking and prodding and when the first needle went in, she just looked at me, like "Why Mum???".
