  • Don’t Keep Saying You Want This Baby Out Of You

    As a mum of not just one but two premature babies, what can really grind me down are mums to be saying “how do I get this baby out” at just 30+ weeks.

    Did you know statistics can show that one extra day in you is 2 days less in neo-natal, neo-natal where you have to ask to hold your baby, ask for skin on skin. Neo-natal where you are reduced in cuddles as baby needs rest, rest helps babies grow you know! Neo-natal where it seems like these amazing nurses feel like your babies mum.

    Neo-natal is isolating, there are tears…also of joy.

    For those mums wanting their babies, just hold on that little longer. Seeing your baby attached to machines and poked with needles is not fun.

    The nurses work hard, they have many babies to look after…..don’t try to increase their work load, enjoy the last few weeks being pregnant.

    Many mums would love to have stayed pregnant for an extra few weeks or in some cases months so they would not have had to see their precious small, fragile baby hooked up to machinery and or fighting for life.

    Please I urge you do not try to bring on early labour, we ear all to often of women taking castor oil or worse to bring on labour, did you know that castor oil can cause your baby to poo inside you, cause you severe diarrhoea and can make baby very distressed.

    Labour should only be brought on early in a hospital for medical reasons.

  • The Most Dangerous Advice Given

    These are some of the most dangerous replies we have ever received on Mums advice

    Question: My baby is still waking up for feeds in the night how can I help him sleep longer?

    Reply: Put Rusks in his bottle to fill him up for longer.

    Please do not do this it is a serious choking risk, your baby will sleep through when ready.

    Question: What contraception does everyone suggest?

    Reply: I use the pull out method yet to get pregnant

    No, No, No this is not a great way to prevent pregnancy, you can get pregnant through pre-cum and is not effective method.

    Question: My baby always seems to have wind any suggestions to help her bring it up?

    Reply: Hold her upside down by her legs

    Just no seriously lets all dangle our babies by their legs.

    Question: At what age did everyone wean their babies?

    Reply: I weaned my baby at 8 weeks and he’s absolutely fine

    Come on guys really we all know that just because one baby was fine doesn’t mean its ok. Weaning is not recommended until 6 months

    Question: Whats the best thing for teething?

    Reply: Rub brandy round their gums or add salt to their dummy

    What are you even thinking do I really need to explain why these methods are wrong

    Question: I’m 2 days over due what can help start my labour?

    Reply: Castor oil

    Please for the love of god do not use castor oil it can give you serious diarrhoea but more importantly can mae baby come too quickly causing them to become distressed and poo inside of you.

    Question: my 3 year old keeps biting what can I do to stop this?

    Reply: Bite them back teach them a lesson

    Ok lets all bite our children, what a great life lesson. NOT. Not only is it wrong on so many levels it’s also abuse.

    Question: When did you change the teets on bottles to make the flow faster?

    Reply: I never bought new teets i just cut the tips off.

    This is so dangerous if a teet on a bottle starts to break or split throw it away, bits can come of and baby can choke

    Question: My 5 year old keeps swearing how do I explain that it’s a naughty word?

    Reply: Every time they swear put soap or hot sauce in their mouth

    OK this is so dumb!!!! social services would have a field day, not to mention its terrible parenting and awful for the child.

    Question: Its my sister’s wedding next month id love to have a drink but im 6 months pregnant, can I have a small tipple?

    Reply: Just drink Guinness it’s full of iron and good for you

    All alcohol should be avoided during pregnancy, there are plenty of nice tasting alcohol free drinks available

    Question: I Cant breastfeed due to certain reasons what formula would people suggest?

    Reply: If your child isn’t breastfed they wont be smart

    oh come on love we all know breast is best but it makes no difference if they have breast or formula to their intelligence.

    Question: My baby is 6 months old and looks a bit squashed in a rear facing car seat can I put then in  booster seat?

    Reply: Yes my baby moved to a forward facing car seat at 5 months old and looks so much comfortable.

    Do you not read the news?  Babies should stay rear facing for as long as possible, survival rates of car crashes are vastly increased by having your baby rear facing
