And for todays lesson....

Never accept anything 'free' as there are always consequences!

On our weekly food shopping trip, we stopped for lunch at the supermarket cafe. On the offer of free baby food with any paying adult, I thought why not, it's free, even though I had brought something with us...never mind that it is the 1st stage pureed to a pulp food and she is 10 months and can chew, it won't do any harm.........

Then on to the toilets, to do the necessary and change the darlings bum...where again there were free baby wipes and nappies provided...again, despite having my own, I thought why not?..... Not a problem so far....

Get home and put the baby in her play den, with toys, so I know she can't get up to mischief or pick any bits of the floor and eat them...and go to unpack the shopping and check my emails....at which point my son shouts 'quick mum, the baby's eating something!' thinking there is nothing in there for her to eat, and finishing off what I was doing, despite my son's shouts, I make my way downstairs to be hit with the smell of poo half way down. My 1st thought was our cat had gone somewhere, until I remembered he wasn't in the house, and as I went through the door, there she was, diorrea smeared everywhere within reach when you are trapped in a cage, including all over her...and I think she ate some.

Thanks to the pureed food which must have gone right through her, and the cheap nappy that doesn't absorb or contain such delights, it had erupted out of the back of her nappy for her to 'play' with...suffice to say I will never accept free food or nappies again! Lesson learnt.
