Questions

Can you recommend a good book of photographs of babies' faces? It needs to be lightweight (my RSI is predictably affected by having a baby to carry around all the time). I'm usually opposed to this kind of thing as I feel vaguely squeamish about the mild exploitation, but Linnea loves looking at photos o babies' faces, so I don't care how exploitative it is any more.

Does anyone know whether paracetemol and aceteminophen are the same thing, and what the par-mol and minophen bits of the words mean? And the acete bit, for that matter?

Can people who know Rose please ask her to recommend a good Evil Tea for my sinus cold, which has spread to my ears and is causing me immoderate pain? As a breastfeeding mother, I'm not allowed any of the really good drugs. I've been using lemon, ginger and honey, but it's not very effective.

There are rumours (in the instruction manual) that it may be illegal to use a Tommee Tippee baby motion/breathing monitor in Ireland because of it transmitting to the parent unit. It this codswallop or should I conceal the fact that I'm going to import it?

I can't offer much advice on most of those except to say that I find that a clove of raw garlic a day does wonders for colds, especially sinus ones (since it has the nice side effect of totally clearing out the sinuses).

However, I thought it worth noting that I totally read that (and even after a first double-take) as: "Can you recommend a good book of photographs of babies' feces?" Um. Eep!

I can imagine several circumstances where parents might want such a thing. Eep indeed.

Well, that's I think why my brain just didn't reject it right away; because it started coming up with reasons why someone might actually want to buy such a thing.
