Oo just a thought does anyone else ask for a babies red book to be left in their change bag ?? I like it to be there in case of emergencies.

A coat!!!

The amount of times mine have arrived in the morning without one because it's nice and by the time we do the school run in the afternoon it's raining.

I try and get my parents to get a coat with a hood as well.

hummmmm thats an idea!! but then id be worried of it going missing! i knoe it would be left in their bag but that means nothing in my house!! i think we have a ghost who moves things lol.

my son does not have one as it was stolen when he was 6 months old(along with my clothes while we were swimming!

but having the red book is a gd idea!!

Stupid question alert! Why would you need the red book. Assuming this is the book that used to be green when my kids were small, as no parent has ever brought one or shown me one. When I was given my books I took them to all the gp/hospital appointments etc but it sat on the desk ignored everywhere - no-one except the Health Visitor ever looked at it or wrote in it.

Is it different now?

I ask mine to bring bedding if they sleep in the day because they all have to have separate bedding and I've got enough washing with my lot! Baby girl has one of those sleeping bags anyway, and baby boy comes with nothing so just sleeps as he is.....
