One of my GDs had terrible trouble passing a motion and would hold on to it until it leaked out. One doctor just gave her a gentle laxative, but a woman doctor made a more thorough examination and found she had a type of pouch at the lower end of her bowel, where the faeces collected and hardened. With a change in diet habits, she gradually grew out of it but I remember how upsetting it was to see her desperately trying not to open her bowels because of the pain.
I believe children can be quite happy in a good nursery, especially if they have a sibling with them. I think some parents don't have much choice if they both need to work and I would hate to make any mother feel guilty about it. Two of my grand-daughters went to a creche at the hospital where my daughter was training as a nurse, when they were two and three. They loved it and asked if they could go in at weekend!
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
How do you acknowledge Easter.
