Guest guest Posted July 13, 2000 Report Share Posted July 13, 2000 OK day two of enforced motherhood in a 4 yr old. Emma has taken on that tired resigned look. She said last night that looking after a baby was tiring. But good news is that she seems to be following Sears, carrying the baby in a sling and bed sharing! Given up bottle feeding and now cup feeding and finger feeding. Found her wearily sat in a chair a moment ago with baby in the sling (my backpack on her front!) with cup balanced on her knee. I have offered to help, but what can a grandmother do? I know I can get the baby off to sleep, but the new mum doesn't want nay help. Baby currently sitting on the fireplace begging to be played with. Emma resolutely eating sweets and watching TV. I believe she is going for controlled crying now, just to get a break. BTW just like a good baby this one needs feeding every ten minutes but only takes 10 or 15 sucks and then it's OK. Sometimes gets colic (ooh tummy ache). but went through the night last night, thankfully. Off to check on the mum and baby now! Talk about realism. how long does it take for the batteries to wear down? Sue BTW I am talking about a Furby Baby here, don't call the NSPCC. -- SAHM Emma (4) Co-Chair BCP, BFC " There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.

They don`t wear down... they recharge...you just have to let them wander off after about 20 yrs, or get someone else to take them off you hands... oh! you mean Furbys. Do you think it woudl be a good teaching aid for classes? Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2000 Report Share Posted July 13, 2000 Oh yes, the feeling of not understanding what is going on and not knowing what to do on the first day (and it had an instruction book and a dictionary to help) was identical to the same feeling you get as a first time mum. Scary. Emma certainly looked like a new mum today, and she had the benefit of a full nights sleep and no labour (although for her, her birthday, Daddy coming home and Nanny and Granddad coming to stay all within a day was probably on a par excitement wise). I eventually wrestled baby off it's mum and put it into a deep sleep. Now tucked up safely in the cot. (and I will stop giving you updates now or this will get boring - but it does give me a very odd feeling - just like looking after a newborn!) I did feel like the log woman from Twin Peaks though walking it around town while Emma was in for her into hour at school. Ho hum - at least I got a glimpse of Grand parenthood. Sue H.

Ended up in the back of a locker in the marking room with two jumpers and a coat on top. Batteries finally died on day 5. -- Helen Armfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was terrified she would die because I had done something wrong, especially as we'd paid £200 for her. It seemed worse than having a new baby, because she was so tiny (fitted into DS's trainer!) and at least you can usually find someone to ask about babies, whereas there are no puppy HV's or clinics and only basic books on dog care!!!!
