Ruth you can report people without needing to give your own name. Or you can

give your name and ask to not be named to the parties... just something to think

about..

Hi Karina

I also left the babes if sound asleep to go and post letters 100yds up

the road but the first time I ever did it I felt v guilty. The first

time I ever left DD alone awake (also to go to the post) a friend of

hers was over for tea for the first time and they were playing very

happily (they were about 8) - I absolutely had to post a letter

(credit card payment or something equally timing importnat) so popped

up the road, running. Guess whose mum phoned whilst I was out?!

Likewise when they were babies and asleep in cot I would sometimes go

next door to my neighbours because we could hear through the shared

stairway or kitchen if a baby was wailing, but they never woke; that

was for about five mins max. It occurs to me that I could have been

in the garden with a babe asleep in the cot - that as it was such a

rare occurrence to get my babies to sleep in the day without

locomotive movement, that I wouldn't have woken them, but might have

gone to the bottom of the garden to peg out washing and been entirely

out of earshot.

As it transpires from other posts yesterday, it would have been

legal...

When DD was very tiny I was quite nervous of leaving her on her own

because I couldn't quite get it out of my system that she choked the

evening we came home from hospital (whilst I was on the phone to a

wellwisher, you can imagine how it must have sounded even though it

was really alright, just v nerve making for new mum!). She slept in

with me so I was fairly relaxed about being near enough if anything

would have happened.

Has anybody else never slept quite as deeply again as pre-baby ?

caro I think that question should be..

Has anyone ever slept as deeply again as pre-baby ;o)...

I wake at the slightest noise now where as before I was a very heavy sleeper...

very weird. lol
