I have nothing against surnam-y first names, my boys have them, but Conway? No.

Ivy and Violet were at the top of my list but dh wouldn't have either So obviously they'd be my top two picks. Mia is soooo popular atm and I really don't see the reason. Bit borin...

Katherine (Kate), Cora, Juliet, Louisa, Edith, Violet, Olive, Tessa

Blake or Carter

I have no real advice for you except to say, if care is totally necessary I'd probably be looking for another centre, perhaps a family dc where there are smaller numbers and might be able to b...

My cousin works in medicine and she's heard of it happening quite a lot where the patient was told the wrong sex.

I guess by now you've already had it done? I wouldn't personally. Drs seem to rush to say it's fine too often IMO. I think because imunisation rates are down they grab the opportunit...

I thinks it's lovely It's pronounced Ah-nook, but the emphasis is on the first part, not on the K. The little girl in the movie Chocolat is Anouke. The way her mum says her name with t...

At that age if he's sleeping through after having a 6.30pm feed then waking at 5am is completely normal! If he's having trouble settling back after a feed then perhaps putting him in with...

That's a hard one, I love them all too! I think Archer is getting a little bit popular now so that would put me off slightly. I too prefer Leo over Leonardo. I would go with Gabriel (Gabe) or...

I think Raya goes best of the 3.

Are you paying her any extra at all? I think it's completely reasonable if food + board is all she gets for all the childcare you're getting from her. If you're also paying her an al...

I think it's unreasonable to expect them to be available every weekend. They will have organized another ob to cover the weekend so you won't be left without anyone should you happen to l...

I like Ashton and I think that's the one that sounds most in line with your other boys names.

Sorry can't help you with that specific cot but had to reply to your comment re the colour. Don't get a dark colour! When your lo gets some teeth those little bite marks really stand out...

Violet or Maeve

If a future pregnancy is likely to be high risk then really King Eddy is going to be the best place for you. Give yourself some time, sorry for the loss of your babe.

I wouldn't have it from a deli or anything but mayo from my own fridge, no problem. Or even better, make your own with fresh eggs.
