They say that you learn something new every day. I believe that to be true. This week I have learnt a new word. It's "possetting" and it relates to the feeding habits of babies. Shirley and Frances were jointly amazed that I had never heard of the term before. Feeling ashamed of myself I researched the concept, visiting an array of websites aimed at mothers. Clearly, the world of possetting is not one which men are encouraged to explore. I found the following in "Made For Mums":-
Your baby will probably regurgitate a bit of milk and saliva when she burps, which is called possetting. A muslin nappy or square draped over you while winding is a good idea to save your clothes.
I have observed that our adorable little granddaughter Phoebe - who is almost two months old now - has a special talent for possetting. She gulps so much of her mother's nutritious milk that there are regular overflows - not so much cheesy mama's milk but cloudy saliva. I wonder if there are international possetting tournaments because if there are Baby Phoebe would surely bring back a gold medal for Yorkshire.
By the way, I have taken to referring to the muslin squares as "muslims" and I apologise if this causes any offence to Islamic brothers and sisters who may be reading this blog. There are muslims all over our house now as Stewart and Frances are temporarily living here. The boiler in their rental house has broken down and needs to be replaced. It's too cold over there for an eight week old possetting champion.
