MargieH 7,600 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 #2759. I used to LOVE Dinnefords Gripewater when my kids were babies. The eldest especially used to get very bad colic and so I gave it to him, and because I was a bit frazzled with all his screaming I used to have several teaspoons myself cos it tasted so nice! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I had to laugh as I imagined you guzzling the gripewater with a screaming baby in your lap, MargieH. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 It wasn't funny! His colic just didn't respond to all the usual comforting things like cuddling, back rubbing, walking up and down holding him, singing, etc I remember feeling quite desperate at times and even crying because I felt I was no good as a mum! The colic used to start about 4pm and carried on for about 3 or 4 hours on and off, but stopped when he was a few months old. I don't think the Dinnefords helped him much - it was just that I had to do SOMETHING. IT did taste good though... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 The Indians (In India) have a trick for clearing the nose. They never use hankies but pinch one nostril and blow down the other very hard and sharp. Repeat for second nostril. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,597 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Saw a couple with two young children playing Pooh sticks a couple of weeks ago in Grantham, Windham park bridge over the river Witham, me and Mrs P had a go as well but I think she was cheating, (next time I'm going to paint my stick so it looks completely different to hers), it was great to see the kids playing it though, seemed to get more enjoyment out of it than they would some electronic game Rog 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I was surprised when the family came up at Easter. The kids spent more time playing with the carpet bowls than their electronic things. Their other favourite toy was my Space Hopper. Remember Space hoppers? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
