I guess I can wheel the buggy along to trackside..

I have been known to take the travel cot to Trackside and Rubicon to keep the little one safe and cleanish

Loads of good stuff on littletrekkers.co.uk.

Got a Spotty Otter down suit and a fleece suit on sale.

Kyle is sled head mode yesterday.

Looks like the suits are out of sale stock, but seperates still there

We tried teething powders, not sure which, and they didn't seem to work for ours. Although Blob 1 had all her teeth by about 9 months anyway so teething didn't last long. We stuck to paracetmaol/ibuprofen.
And don't forget Nelson's contain lactose. And it's scientifically proven to be homeopathic, Nik.

We use Ashton and Parsons for Jr T - paracetmaol/ibuprofen for the pain/teething related raised temp'
But to calm him down and chill him out the powders are great - also the only way he'll let either of us have a feel around in the back of his mouth for more teeth....

When are you heading peakward? Interested to hear about child friendly accomodation in the area, as we plan doing similar late winter / early spring.

Chris - had a fantastic week in the Peak, escaping just as the snow fell last saturday.
Some nice sessions at curbar/burbage, but best day was friday with newstones/baldstones to myself in lovely cold crisp conditions but with some sunshine to keep warm enough (ripple - what a great problem).

buggy bouldering - took the buggy to trackside and out to the eagle stone which both worked fine.

the place we stayed was really nice, luxurious, warm and cosy, nice walks out the back door. It was baby friendly (whatever that is), but i'm not really qualified to tell if it was child friendly. It only had one double room so i guess no good for bigger kids. PM me if you want details of it.

Not sure if this has come up before - but don't buy anything from Anklebitters on Abbeydale Road, Sheffield.

We ordered a high car from them about 8 weeks ago. They told us it would be a week as they had already ordered them so we were just reserving one they already had coming in. It's still not here. We were trying to support local shops - but their customer service is shit.

We also ordered a sleeping bag thing for the pram and they ordered the wrong colour - and that took 6 weeks.

What's really frustrating is that we could have got it off the net and had it weeks ago, as Kiddiecare have it in stock.

From the MOther & Baby group my wife goes to this is pretty normal service from them.

Hitch & Hike in Bamford have some good (Bushbaby) all in one snow suits. Sadly Buffalo have stopped making their kit which is a shame because it was superb.

Horlicks seems to help Hugo go to sleep which is a bonus.

Kyle in eye of needle mode and puking all day. In hindsight letting him in the ball pool at the local pub and him trying to eat the balls may not have been a good idea. Those things must be bacteria havens.

I had no idea that three verses of the French National Anthem would send the little one to sleep.

Can reccomend it though!

Jim · « **Reply #212 on:** January 01, 2011, 10:08:49 pm »

well sleeping on the job is their national sport

Try anything and go with what works. Kyle liked excerpts from the Nirvana unplugged album.

too true unfortunately - Jr T had the same reaction after using the soft play area on the ferry on the way to font last time out...

It's odd what they end up liking, Jr T had a thing for Rob Zombie and Underworld for a while, at almost 2 years old its anything pop-punk that they play on Kerrang radio...

Mine were both the specials mixed with stone roses - fools gold and waterfall being their favourites. Now however the wife has corrupted them into take that - nightmare

More a question for the docs than the dads, but seeing as most on here are both..

Kyle has MMR jab booked for this afternoon, but developed conjunctivitis on Tuesday had to stay at home Wednesday and has antibiotic drops from the doc. Eyes seem to have cleared up now, but still on the drops.

Is this any reason to delay him getting the injections? I know it not a good idea to let him have innoculations unless he is healthy? Otherwise he is fine, apart from the usual snotty nose. Are we just being paranoid?

Appreciated that this is just opinion and won't hold anyone to it.

Thanks

Jim · « **Reply #217 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:40:24 am »

just ring the docs and they will tell you to ring back when be is healthy

Cheers FB. Eyes are sorted, was just more concerned about antibiotics / MMR mix.

magpie · « **Reply #221 on:** February 25, 2011, 12:55:58 pm »

I don't know if I'd take the risk while he's on A/B, the MMR can send them a bit funny afterwards anyway and on top of the medication he might feel a bit horrid. Although maybe as they're eye antibiotics it wouldn't matter so much. In short, I have no clue, do you want me to ask on the kids board of my other forum and see what they say?

SA Chris · « **Reply #222 on:** February 25, 2011, 12:59:30 pm »

No it's all good thanks! If it was oral a/bs we would definitely put it off, but as they are topical (?) it left room for doubt.. I think the homework has been done on other forums already. was just interested in a more pragmatic view

I think we are going to err on the side of caution and put it off for a week.

magpie · « **Reply #223 on:** February 25, 2011, 02:47:32 pm »

Cool, for topical ones I would say it would be fine but always better to err on the side of caution with the precious bundles.

fatkid2000 · « **Reply #224 on:** February 25, 2011, 07:59:53 pm »

The very vast majority of sticky eyes in infants is NOT conjunctivitis - It's just that: a sticky eye. Usually associated with a viral infection.

So the vast majority of times cleaning with cooled boiled water is the way forwards, or FBSF advice of an old wife's tale.

GPs just give out topical abs just to get people out of their rooms. I only give them out if the conjunctiva is inflamed.
