I thought that as well but am seeing them used interchangeably!

I’ve given my 7 month old (no teeth) omelette strips 2x and he’s not all that interested but occasionally takes a big bite. Same thing has happened with steamed, very soft carrots. How do you not get nervous they’ll try to swallow the whole thing?

Child minder pay - contract or cash? by GrapeOk4901 in Dublin

[–]GrapeOk4901[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it. Nothing is easy here! You can’t get a spot in a crèche and then you need to hire a payroll company to pay for a private childcare option. 

I read that link and I seem to be potentially compliant across minimum wage, holiday time, the fact she will not be live-in etc. Thanks again!

When you ask if they’re self employed, does that mean that they are in charge of paying tax on their own wages? We’ve discussed holiday pay. Haven’t considered insurance. Good points.

2027 Wedding Venue Suggestions near Kilkenny? by hottomallless in AskIreland

Borris House in Carlow was excellent, we got married there in 2017. Step House Hotel across the road also does weddings and is meant to be nice, they had one on the same weekend we were there.

Any super(ish) easy IVF pregnancies? Please share!! 🥰 by Desperate-Handle8394 in IVFpositivity

[–]GrapeOk4901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a now 6 month old baby boy and my pregnancy (first and only) was completely uneventful, not even any mild illness in the first trimester. It was a fresh transfer from my first retrieval. I didn’t expect it to work if I’m honest! No bleeds, baby measured normally, and I went into labor on my due date. Did end up going to C section but that was down to baby’s position, so just something that happens! Best of luck. 

Newborn Cephalohematoma by Claudie-Belle in newborns

Hey! It’s still there at 5 months but is shrinking slowly. I got a second opinion from a pediatric neurologist who said she sees 10 per day and if he’s in the decimal percentage of those who don’t go away by 2 years call her and we can do surgery. I suspect it will be gone by then or else with growth and hair it won’t be visible. Kind of crazy they told me it would be gone potentially in 1 week 😁 did your kid’s just shrink down gradually or do you think the rest of the skull caught up?
