I have started using the Watties "Simply Create" for 9 months plus. They are sachets of meat and sauce that you add to home cooked veges. A great compromise. Up until a couple of weeks ago I mad...

My husband and I have always been very close, he is my best friend. We are also very affectionate to each other. Having a baby has only cemented our love for each other. I had a terrible Dad (di...

These are the possible reasons for early rising according to Tizzie: 1) Baby is cold- put on an extra blanket before you go to bed. 2) Baby is hungry- if you have not introduced solids, consider do...

Sounds like my DS and I have been told it is more common than you think. I use to think it was on nights where he was overstimulated and thus overtired but it also happens if he is too hot (I have...

Tell me about it! You could be describing my DS. What I hate is that he has all the symptoms but where are the teeth? His bottom two came through at 8 months but since then nothing. However, he...

Yes it was useful. Have you tried your local library? I know that copies exist in both NZ and Australian libraries and if your library does not have it- get them to interloan it for you. This is...

Hi there, I think the woman who makes them is a member here. She sells them on TradeMe and they are really well made.

Hi there, Katem's point that every baby is different is true. She has had success on S26 but I know a lot of babies who do not handle it well at all. It is the same for any formula, you often ha...

Beat this... my 10.5 month old wears "walkers" and has done so since the 9 month mark!

What is a 'normal' amount of sleep at this age though? No baby is the same. I have asked both my sisters who have 6 children between them (aged from 11-26) and all were on one day sleep by the 9 ...

DS currently goes to sleep at 11.30am. He usually sleeps 1.5-2 hours but it varies- he may do more or less. He starts showing tired signs a little earlier than 11.30 but if he goes down too early...

Provided you have started solids, it is not necessary to go up to a stage 2. In fact its existance has more to do with advertising restrictions on starter formula than because of any great medical...

I am sorry but that is terrible advice. Your babys liver can not handle alcohol. I know this is the type of advice given out many, many years ago but we have moved on since then. I suspect it wo...

Hi there, When Tizzie does work, it is my impression it happens quickly. The only thing that can miss is the dreamfeed with some bubs still waking in the early morning despite the DF for quite a w...

Hi there, I have not tried it but it think I know of it- is the Dana Oblemans programme? Somehow I ended up getting her free webcasts where she answers questions on sleep problems. My impression ...

Hi there, This seems to be a popular question lately- a lot of bubs showing signs of wanting only one sleep. Most books tell you that the average age is 14 months but my experience with my own son...

You know there are two schools of thought. One is that this is a phase and to just hang in there. Let her comfort from you as she seems to want to do this and not worry too much. I understand, h...

There is a great book called "The wonder weeks", I think all your answers would be in this but it is not easy to find. Check at your local library and ask for them to interloan it if they don't ha...

Unfortuately there is no such thing as normal with babies and being such a young age your bubs is still trying to get the old BFing thing going. The big tell tell sign is to see what the poos and ...
