Hi Scalimum, I had this problem for a while. It got better when I started doing a bit of part time work at weekends and DH had to look after our son. At first he used to drive over to visit his par...

Hi, It's easy to start worrying with the constant changes they go thru, if your baby seems happy, then you are doing a great job! I used to give the following at 10 mths: 7.30-8 am Brekky- 1.5 wee...

Hi Jules, I never heard of any mothers groups around here, but I think there are some. When Bubs got to about 6 mths I started thinking about playgroups.....eventually when he was 9 mths we started...

Hi, Congratulations with the sleep! I found that this happened to my son too, he was sleeping on his side and I think it just leaked right out. I moved him onto his back......and he now sleeps on h...

Hi Kellie, In my opinion (and that's all it is) the best way to lose weight is not to diet as they are so hard to stick to, also what happens when you are not on the 'diet'? Join a gym, make sure t...

Hi, It is not dumb, it's a very real problem! Also, as you have to do it several times a day, extremely annoying. I found my wee man goes thru phases, being good and not bothering about it, then at...

I got the line & had a boy!

Rubbish! I exclusively breastfed. Every 3.5 hours for first couple of months, then about every 4 hours, apart from teatime when he used to feed on and off for a couple of hours- I thought my boobs ...

Hi Shelley, We were on hols and used one when my DS was about 6/7 mths, I took his bedding and any toys he had in his own cot and he was fine. The extra blanket for underneath is a good idea though...

Hi Sara, Our DS was in his own room right from the start, we had a monitor, but don't use it now he is 1! If you feel he will be ok, then the daytime sleeps sounds like a good idea, then you can mo...

Hi, I have just ordered a book called "Basic Back Care" by Dr Mary Pullig Schatz. This was recommended to me by several friends and, although I cannot tell you myself, I thought you would appreciat...

Hi Sophie, I can't help you but wanted to let you know that ALL the kids at our playgroup hit each other at various times! Sorry for no answers, but I haven't had to deal with it yet.

HI Sara, My DS was Bfed but wouldn't drink water at that age either. He started to like it about 6/7 mths, now loves it so I wouldn't worry too much. As long as there are plenty of wees coming out,...

Hi Apryl, I did this when I had a few glasses of wine with visitors! Just expressed the next whole day (quite a lot to keep up supply) drank loads of water and then started again BF the day after! ...

Hi Apryl, Yes I think it is developmental as my nurse checked that he was doing those high pitched squeals! I know it's not very nice to listen to, but it doesn't last forever....just try and ignor...

Hi Cheryl, My DS hated farex, he liked baby muesli, and now has weetbix every morning. Occaisionally has porridge but weetbix is the main one, I used ordinary milk from about 7/8 mths and no proble...

Hi Quin, My DS is now 12 months and still teething, but not too bad really. I know that he really likes something cool to chew on such as a piece of carrot or apple, make it big enough so that they...

Hi Kyze, I did it at about 7/8 mths, I think. Funny how I've started to forget everything already!!

I agree with Robynne, up the formula a bit and wait on the solids, your baby knows how hungry he is. Great weight gain (my baby gained about a kilo insome motnths, less in others) is what I have al...
