Surely an analysis of a series of studies into one big conclusion is still a scientific exercise?

Is clutch the correct collective noun for more than one snotty infant? How about a howl of snotty infants? Or a drip? Or a don'twipethatonmyshirtohGodtoolate....

Jamiroquai (sp?) are the epitome of one-song bands.

Oh, and just wanted to add - not accusing the ever-valuable and interesting Fuschia of trying to make anyone feel guilty, but sometimes discussions about crying do go in that direction. I salute you, ma'am. :)-D

Nice, isn't it? I like the idea that discussions will be able to stay on page 1 for more than 5 seconds without being pushed downriver in a torrent of nanny ads.

I do think that this must mean babies that are repeatedly left to cry for prolonged periods of time, though there's no data on how long/how often given in the article. All babies regardless of how gently we treat them cry and cry and cry - if that damaged us permanently, the species would have died out long ago. We've all paced the floor with a screaming child trying everything we can to get him or her to stop crying and this can happen night after night - apparently with no ill effects. I'm not advocating being cruel to your child! but just want to put some (to me) fairly obvious logic into a discussion topic that makes people feel terribly guilty. snowboarder - you have my utmost sympathy, it's so hard. I agree with Belle that my experience showed that getting into a good routine with naps immediately led to better sleep at night. But my baby was much older when he managed it. Try to get some help with your own rest if you possibly can. Oh... and yes, you WILL get back to your relatively normal life and I'm sure including snowboarding. Maybe not too soon - but one day!

6. Between 9.45 and 10pm, shift nervously on the sofa from buttock to buttock and press Refresh.

It's just that I feel that I let you down with the Hundreds and Thousands Pricing Fiasco.

Presumably it wouldn't be taxed if your overall income was below the tax threshold?

Oh dear, we'll have to price the 'ones' at .867p then. jaybee, shall we just do what everyone else on LL does and open a bar?

Citizen, of course you may buy a 'single'. However, since the smallest denomination of currency in the UK is a penny, sorry 1p, that is what it must be priced at. Jaybee's profit margin will be spectacular!

Me too - was such a relief to give up the making up of bottles. Yeeha. My son didn't mind at all, he didn't even seem to notice, and he loves his milk. Same thing when we switched him onto semi-skimmed aged 2 - now he has whatever milk is in the fridge and seems perfectly OK with any.

No, no Sue, the hotel manager paid the meat supplier who paid the butcher who paid the wholesaler who paid the farmer who paid the prostitute who (crucially) then paid the hotel manager. So he was readily able to give the Russian his money back. See Huguenot's explanation of debts and credit. I suppose it might be hilarious if double-ledger accounting is your thing, but I don't think it's meant to be funny ha ha, laugh out loud. Hmmm..

Some people who haven't been listed so far, I think:- Ella Fitzgerald Maxi Jazz from Faithless Prince Funny, I've had to leave off some of my favourite singers as when it comes down to it their voices just aren't all that amazing.

Clue's in the name - day.

And I thought Rosie was such a nice girl...

A nice boy? Now I'm giggling like a schoolkid.

Happy birthday, Val!

24 posts on the thread, MacRoban, and of them I count one at most that you might consider insulting to the 'old of East Dulwich', and even that one is perhaps a stretch. Am I missing something? If you want people to change their behaviour, you might have to be more specific in your commentary.

I ended up having an emergency c-section in the expert care of the midwives and surgical team at King's and felt very competently looked after. By definition it wasn't what we planned but our son was happy and healthy from the word go, and all went well. Happy to provide details by PM if of interest or if it would be reassuring.

Happy Birfday, Mr. Keef! *hug*

..sillywoman, sorry for hi-jacking your thread which was not about toddlers at all.
