So we had our 11 month old son done on the 5th of August with Dr Terry Russell in Brisbane - we live in Sydney but my husband's family live in Brisbane so it was easy enough to get an appointment w...

There is some literature out there that advises to sterilise up to 12 months but I know a lot of mothers who stopped between 8-12 months. For us, it was no hassle to sterilise, so we figure it is p...

My baby loved S26 Gold, I think it is sweeter than other formulas and he went from the breast to that fine but it is hard on the guts and caused constipation so we moved to Karicare Gold.

To circumcise or not to circumcise - that really is a question for the parents. It is a hot topic but I think depending on which way you fall you will always be able to find arguments to support yo...

Ok, I have researched a lot more and the method is called the Plastibell method of circumcision - this is where the foreskin falls off within 3-5 days rather than cut off. From what I have seen, th...

Hi Austinn's Mum, Are you able to tell me who the doctor is that does this bell clamp method or if there is a website to find doctor's such as these? Thanks Tracey

Go to the doctor! If you are stressing and you know something is not right then go with your gut instinct and get it checked out. Green poo one of the signs for dehydration. Hope the sleep and fe...

My son had the solid 'signs' at 4 months but we waited until he was 6 months as he was still sleeping well and gaining lots of weight. Can you start giving food straight away? - sure if they have ...

My son just started rolling at 7.5 months. We never really worried about it, he is 9.5 months and weighs 13 kg. But he was sitting up by himself at 4.5 months and stands holding onto furniture from...

All I can say is 'Maggi' or 'Continental'. There are these packets of stuff that all you need to do is add the meat and vegetables and it has things ready from 10-40 minutes depending on what you p...

My son just turned 9 months and is saying 'Dadda'. Apparently regardless of how much more time a mother spends with the baby, babies are more likely to say Dadda over Mamma because it is easier to ...

S26 is renowned for causing constipation and is more common out of all cow's milk based formulas for causing digestive problems. S26 was my first formula choice in the beginning when I was moving f...

I stopped waking my son when he was 4 weeks old and he slept through from then. We were told and I have read that you should keep waking up your baby at least once during the night up to 4-5 weeks...

Hi Cooper74, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Your baby is practically the same as my baby... he will be 9 months in a week and he is 12.6kg. He was going further and further away from that 97% growt...
