A friend of mine has only ever used spring water for her babies bottles and they have all been fine with it.

I agree with Vicks. Have you tried a vapouriser? I use one all through winter, but only add the menthol if needed.

I love them! We turn it on when miss goes to bed at night and turn it off in the morning. The window is also slightly open to allow fresh air in & her door is open to allow the warmth in! We haven'...
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic flat head question
My bub favoured her right side too. At the 6 week check her paediatrician showed me how to wrap her firmly and place her on her left side propped up with a support behind her - I think I used the s...

I use mine all through winter. I have a TAAV and haven't had any problems so far, touch wood. In saying that, I was advised that they had a bad batch & the faults have been fixed now! To avoid cond...

What sad stories from everyone Although I have not endured what the rest of you have, I have been to a few talks by SIDS and Kids. They are wonderful people who are very supportive and have been ...
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Eczema patches on my 7 mnth old what can i try
Just wanted to add in about stopping foods.... I said to my peadiatrician that I would go back to the start with solids to rule out what is causing it and he said current research is saying that by...
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Kids being bullies
Depends on the type of bullying behaviour it is. My niece had her 'sweet' treats taken by another girl in her kindy class and was really upset at the end of the day. This happened a couple of times...
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Fenugreek??
I used fenugreek with success and noticed the difference if I forgot to take them (although they don't work for everyone). I didn't know about porridge, so will try to remember that one for next...
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Eczema - what "soap" to use?
It is definitely not easy having a bub with eczema.... It is all trial and error unfortunately. I have found the best thing is the Alpha-keri 1,2,3 step regime. 1. Soap free wash 2. Oil - I ge...
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Panadol or Nurofen for teething?
I use sedagel - although it has a horrible taste, my bub seems to know it works. I generally use it when she is unsettled and trying to sleep - she is generally alseep within 10 minutes after apply...
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Quick question about breastfeeding & Nipples!!
Paw Paw is ok, but I was advised to wipe it off before each feed. I found lansinoh the best!

An afternoon rest or nanna nap (if you can fit it in) helped and I also agree with the Berocca! As for the cramps, try magnesium....
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Starting solids..what age 4 or 6 months??
Do what you need to do for your bub.... I ended up starting mine the day she turned 4 months after we came home from having her 4 month immunisations. Within 2 weeks from starting on rice cereal ...

proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Did you choose to tell others your baby names?
We didn't tell anyone, although lots of people were willing to give suggestions! In the end we were happy with our choice and tough luck if others don't like it!
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic drug free labour
You should go into it with an open mind to avoid disappointment at the end. The drugs they give you are safe for the baby too.
proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Does this look like eczema?
My bub suffers from eczema, not a nice thing to have! It would be best to get this diagnosed by your GP or paediatrician and seek proper treatment and whether to cut out foods. I started using ...
