It's just one of those things Charlie, my first aid trainer (who also does accident prevention courses) told us about the tme when her daughter was younger and got 25% burns from her leaving cups of tea around. It can happen to anyone, dont blame yourself. xx
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
took him to the burns unit today, they stripped the dead skin off the blister (he didnt like that), and bandaged it up properly this time. We've got to go back on Tuesday to get the dressing changed.
They left his tiny thumb sticking out and it looks ridiculous.
Oh no Charlie! Poor lil guy! Remember not to beat yourself up, it happens, it must have been scary to go through that though I hope you are both okay now! (also I LOVE his socks!)
Yay well done faith. I cannot wait to get the point of wearing underwear and staying dry. Far from even contemplating potty training atm. Will just let the other mummies in groups i attent boast about their 18month old being nappy free. I reckon Dylan will he nearer 3. Will olivers hand leave any scarring or damage to nerves etc?
Don't let them get to you Shelz. All the kids are different. Apparently my mum had us all potty trained by 18 months. I started Faith before 18 months just by leaving the potty in the living room so she could get used to it and sitting her on it occasionally so she could understand what it felt like but that's us now just about done. I feel that I started too soon. You soon know when they're ready. One of my friend's son hardly speaks and is now trained and can use the toilet standing up. Just remember all kids are different :) xx
Charlie, did I miss something? Why address? Lol memory like a sieve so not sure o.0
Gideon rolled from back to front last night, but cant get his arm out from under him. It clearly doesn't bother him tho as he did it again this morning then passed out lol
Kids heal so quickly, my friends son managed to iron his arm and had to spend 2 weeks in a special hospital - maybe the one you went to I think it was in london, and then had a monthly checkup forfor 6 months. His was really severe, no outside agencies got involved.

I AM A PROUD PLUMERIA SISTER
Hey all, I'm old to this site but new to this area. I don't yet have children of my own but can't wait till the day I do! I work with children everyday and I also have young cousins and a niece who's life I have a major part in. I am wondering how all you mothers and fathers out there deal with 2 things...
During the birth of your child did the doctors or nurses see your scars?what did they say or do?
And, have your children seen your scars? What did you say or do then?
Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts and help me with my anxieties!
During the birth of my daughter, the doctors and nurses knew about my issues and didn't look twice at my scars. I had a mental health nurse with me during the birth (I was living on a mh ward during pregnancy and after she was born) and honestly, the nurses and everyone were so good.
I think they see soooo much every day that they are pretty immune to shock or anything!
As for the other thing, can't say as muly daughter is only 9 months old, but my little sister asked when she was about 6-7 years old and I told her I had been in an accident.
Self harm is hard enough for some adults to get to grips with, small children just wouldn't fully understand.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Jasmine has recently started to refuse her main lunch so she can have her pudding!
She usually has something like shepherds pie and then a petit filous or fruit afterwards.
She will have maybe a quarter of her main and then refuse to eat more of it, then eat her pudding.
Is there anything I can do to get her to eat more of her lunch?
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
nope, i tried that!
She will have one more mouthful, realise it's not pudding and refuse it!
And once she has eaten out of one colour pot, she knows which pot is which.
She's too much like me.....
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
The doctors and midwives never said anything about my scars as it was on my history that I had depression as a teen/into late teens.
I can't answer the second question though as my daughter is almost 2 and hasn't noticed them...Although I barely notice mine now. My sister who is 13 has never asked me about my scars that I can remember...In fact I think she did once, and I said I scraped myself on the wall outside as it has that funny coating on it.
Beckie, will she offer to go back to eating her main lunch after her pudding? Faith went through a phase of not wanting to eat her meals but wanted to eat her pudding. In the end I just had to put my foot down and say no to pudding and try and coax her to eat more of her main. If she wouldn't eat it then she went hungry or I would reheat it 30 mins later and try her again with it. Faith preferred finger foods at lunch time though so you could try that maybe and then she can have fruit and cheese spread sandwich fingers?
