Yes, I know what you mean about horse's petunias! When I first was expecting Debbie, they sent a nurse from the County Health Dept. Her name was Mary, and she was supposed to monitor me, in case I had questions or whatever. Hicegirl, she teased me about having a basketball. Debbie was very high up when i was carrying her and it did kind of look like I had a basketball in there! Well, the time she came over after Debbie was born, she started quibbling about how I was holding Debbie. Well, heck, if it felt comfortable for me and Debbie, and she wasn't complaining...give me a break! i finally politely asked this Mary if she had ever had children. I found out she had not, and then I very kindly asked her if maybe we didn't need to see each other again. I felt, heck, since she had never given birth or bonded with a baby, who the hell was she to tell me how to hlold her? So that was the last I saw of Mary, no offense taken by her. The only thing I may have done was turn both my kids into night owls because sometimes I would walk into the kitchen with them to get a bottle or whatever, and forget to puton the light for them. George was always telling me to put on the light. I know neither one of them was ever scared of the dark. Both used to wlrk night shift at the medical testing lab vcalled Quest, Debbie still works late sometimes and Georgie had all night shifts at Tim Horton's.. Bad bad me for forgetting light switches sometimes! But no, Deb and George do not walk around with infant feeders! haha Lora

I used the infant feeders for both my boys, and got criticism like the dickens from sighted people, mind you, not the pediatrician, though; he had good common sense, the others were all horses' petunias! grin! know it alls, who knew nothing about folks with disabilities! That cereal is runny, so is applesauce, and it would be a terrible mess! this way I knew they got all their food! some folks would say if ya fed them that way that they never would know how to eat with fork and spoon, well, they are not on infant feeders today! another blind couple would make a bigger hole or two in the nipples of the bottles and make feeders that way, but the infant feeders had the plunger so the baby did not get the air which caused colic! Sandy also, nothing stains clothes worse than the formula! I used Dreft for the baby wash; not sure if it is even around these days. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lora Leggett To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 11:44 AM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Re: Lora Oh, i bet that was fun to clean up after. The formula really disagreed with both of them. At five months the doctor changed Deb to regular milk, and when Georgie started upchucking at three months, I just went ahead and put him on milk and never did we have that problem again! Yuck! i also used one of those infant feeder bottles with Deb because, try and shut your eyes and get a spoon of cereal or apple sauce into a baby's mouth when they are in an infant seat so you don't have to hold them and try to get into their mouth instead of all over them! haha Lora --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
