Sleep Deprivation

[Mr Kobayashi]

Lock me up. My lad when he was little used to have everything we ate and loved strawberries which had been soaked in Amaretto and god knows where we would have stood with the mother in laws trifle at Christmas, it had that much alcohol in it was a fire risk.

Anyway I dont think he's planning on giving his children a bottle of Buckfast.

That wasn't the point of my post. It isn't judgemental or hectoring. If a kid has to go to hospital or see the GP for an unrelated illness and the parents admit the kid has had alcohol or it shows up on a test, what do you think is likely to happen?

Safeguarding call to social services and unnecessary hassle and bother for loving and attentive parents.

Exposing babies to alcohol is likely to make them more irritable over the longer term, not less.

Siesta is the way forward.

Take it when you can.

My parents suggested a bit of rum into their milk botttle before bed. Im not sure the legalities of that these days though sadly.

Try a scoop of Horlicks in the last feed, worked for us 30 odd years ago.

Back in the 50s we were given a spoonful of Woodwards gripe water.
It was 3.9% alcohol!

A four pack of Tenants Super was always my answer. In fact, it was my answer to EVERYTHING.

I blame the parents, I really do......

I tried that when my kids were toddlers about 20 years ago. It was delicious. I ended up drinking 5 bottles of milk and rum before I crashed out.

I guess it made you feelgood.
Just what the doctor ordered.....

I always found ear plugs help. They only cry themselves back to sleep eventually and as long as you left a couple of spare nappies, a glass of milk and a couple of rusks in the cot they eventually learn how to take care of themselves.. :-)
