Is it by one of the big farms ... Bocketts?

Nipper 360 is very good, light

Eye spy games Finding rhymes As well as the other suggestions

Well obviously teachers aren't working with babies at all, we are just being facetious ( and not even gf is claiming 'carnal knowledge' of 300 men to base her sex guru advice on ... Always comes back to the same thing, I reckon A Glib formula might sell books but is no substitute for a good dose of common sense and the confidence to do what's right for you and your family ...

The plough isn't bad Large outside area

Of course gf has also worked with twins (and there is a book to show for it) but we would need additional information about what proportion of the 300 babies were multiples, to calculate more accurately how much time it would take her to catch up with A teacher Truth be told, our own children spend more of their weekly waking hours with their teachers than they do with us, the parents, in term time, anyway. Thinking about it, the combined wisdom of mumsnet or Edf probably does count for a fair bit, even the parents of one child have clocked up a fair few hours by the time the child starts school. Perhaps there should be some accreditation scheme with a log book system. Extra allowance given for each bout of an infectious disease, vomiting or infantile antisocial behaviour.

Sorry, I am a bit of a number geek 'tis me profession!

My research tells me it's 4/8 weeks

In the ten years it would take a primary teacher to work with 300 children, s/he would be with them all day, every term time day for a year, 1000 hours, by my estimates. That would be the same as working 100 10h shifts as a maternity nurse, for a child, multiplied by 30 So approx 4-5m per child, x 30 - 10 years As to spend that amount of time with 300 babies would take 100 years, I think we can say gf has spent a lot less time with children than your average primary teacher Sorry to be pedantic Can never resist a bout of mental arithmetic How long DOES a maternity nurse spend with a baby? 2-3 weeks?

A levels are now modular, and early units can be repeated, I believe, to affect the evantual overall A level grade U falls below E http://www.edexcel.com/i-am-a/student/results/Pages/results-ALevel.aspx

It has certainly generated publicity for her new book, which I guess was the intent Hope it doesn't make new mOthers feel even more inadequate ... Not only should your baby be napping to schedule but you should be using the free time to slip into your satin negligee ...

Expressing is quite a complicated thing as people have said I also expressed full time for a while with my latest, who was tongue tied It needs patience, practice, peace and a double pump if possible/hands free bra I agree that at this early stage it might be best for you both if you can take her with you, once feeding out of the house is sorted Good luck Sounds like you are doing well You will get there x
