omg yes!! Love love love raspberries, what a cutie! It’s his little baby language to the world, it’s funny when they find it funny too.
It sounds like you’re doing amazingly with your new diet & feeding, I’m shocked at how common milk/lactose allergies are, I’d say about a quarter of our WhatsApp group has them! Although for reasons I can’t remember some of them have gone back and tried “normal” formula and been successful, or are climbing the milk ladder as part of weaning and are doing very well so hopefully the universe will catch you a break some time soon! On eggs - this is v JM of me but have you had scrambled tofu? I love eggs but the concept of what they are does me in tbh, so opt for that and LOVE it!
Baby HTRIA is a cutie, she’s started developing a sense of humour and she’s genuinely funny / in my extended isolation I’ve regressed to a state where she’s an emerging comedic talent
She has her first tooth bless her,
duck me it’s hell though isn’t it - would sooner get all my teeth taken out just to give her them to avoid those sad baby cries when it gets too much. I feel guilty giving her anbesol as it’s got alcohol in it and where neither of us would be happy taking it is it fair to give it her? :/ tbh it’s medicine not eyelid sausages isn’t it, should just get over it!
We’re at my MILs up north now (legally allowed forming a support bubble for babies under 1 year, we were going crazy we had to leave :/) and I’m struggling. Currently sat on a step outside the room she’s in praying she doesn’t stir again! This is a big house but there’s simply not enough room for a baby as his sister insists on keeping everything from childhood and her 20s (she’s nearly 40) so the house is overrun with piles and piles of
tit. SIL is a difficult person so it’s not a conversation that can be had, and clearly why the poor mum has her house like this, but anyway because of this baby wasn’t able to sleep in my room which is obviously gutting. I cried because it’s the furthest apart we’ve ever been and I know it didn’t go down well with MIL. Baby has now been moved between 3 different rooms over the last 3 nights for various reasons all relating to why the house just is not suitable. Can’t fall asleep watching her on the baby cam cos there’s no where safe to put it that wouldn’t mean the camera’s wire being somewhere dangerous or balancing it on top of a possible land slide of shite. Tonight I get her back to sleep and step back and a PILE OF TILES left on the ducking floor came crashing down so she woke up super alert. It’s just stressful and frustrating, now my husband knows I won’t come back here until it’s either cleared (when hell freezes over) or she’s old enough to sleep in a bed with me (because of choking hazards amongst these piles of shite) so god knows when he’ll drive us back home. I’m not a 1950s oppressed woman saying that, I just can’t confidently drive the vehicle we took and I’m not sure if I’m still even insured on it! Sorry for the massive pointless overshare it’s just nice to RELEASE on my step! Xxxxxx
