Mine at almost 1y has two naps IME the morning nap is the solid reliable one that you fear dropping ... Yet only when it goes do you get a really good long restful lunchtime one I read somewhere that thd morning nap plays an important role in brain development

I don't think you can expect public sector workers who are striking about their pensions, to really take on board the one sided media reports that seem to blame us for the crisis in the world economy! The press triea to set private sector workers who have crap pensions in this country, against the public sector staff who are about to end up with crap pensions, diverting attention frpom those who are really to blame (who i don't see rushing to give up any of their pay, bonuises, benefits or pensions, for the common good!)

Sorry to return to dog poo. Loads in our road and the website link I used to use to report it has been removed from the Southwark website, I can't now find out an easy way to report it.

I am not in the teacher pension scheme.., but far from being an 'unaffordable burden' it has been estimated that over the lifetime of the scheme, ?46bn more has been paid in than paid out.. with a large amount of that excess used as 'free cash' by the governments of the day! http://nottinghamcitynut.org/pensionfacts.html

I suppose with those milks they make them as cheaply as they can, and as sweet as they can get away with, to make them 'palatable'

Yes I saw that Good sign!

It's just a highly refined carbohydrate No fat Protein And the vitamins have just been added artificially

I actually agree with km ... Dangerous to assume you can 'plan' The perfect family But what I was trying to say was that nobody was talking about the 'perfect' gap, even the opening poster ... Everybody was just recounting the gaps they had But yes, of course we are all very lucky to have 1, let alone 2 or more, children

Is that the same Steve you have recommended for carpet cleaning.. the same Steve you have mentioned in every one of your forum posts, in fact?

I don't think anyone is necessarily saying they planned the gaps they have.. just commenting on how they have found it!

Thing is, to him that attention is prob just as much fun as the praise you gave. for success... Do your best.. remember.. this too shall pass! (Literally, in the case of a misaimed poo)

I tend to think 3-3.5 is not uncommon, esp for boys

Little h, you have probably made rather too big a thing of it and he is enjoying the attention from not getting it right I would prob just ramp things down a notch and see how it goes KQ, my second son was terrible, he showed no interest at all and i couldn't get it started.. his twin started TT herself at 2+2 yet he was 3 + 4m and oblivious. I had to start because he was off to school nursery! I really couldn't believe it would work but I spent several days putting him on the potty endlessly and a little reward each time.. eventually I happened to catch a wee and we were off. Though 5m later he still wets himself if you don't remind him. Poos were even harder.. he was 3y + 7m before he did the first one in the loo, really! But within a couple of weeks he is pretty much there (if you don't let him get distracted and poo his pants)

Just try sitting him briefly on the potty with no expectation to perform, perhaps while he is watching tv or otherwise distracted? Set yourself a target of hourly visits to the potty, forget about the wee.. if he has an accident make no fuss.. if he gets it in the potty, lots of praise Try that for a few days..?

5 years between no 1 and twins then 2.5 years almost before baby no 4 Both gaps had their advantages from a parents point of view. And both have advantages for the children too... So I can't really decide! Having 2.5y means that clothes can be prety much handed down without needing to be stored for long in the shed!

Before removing the nappy I think i would have gone for rewarding just sitting on the potty.. make that a happy place.. read some books. sing some songs The try in pants rather than nappy/actually trying to wee Could you get one of those floaty things for the loo and try getting him to squirt wee at it, standing up?

Sorry! Just don't like to see anyone stressed and distressed by a problem with a builder, let alone a relative. I won't say any more!
