Thanks lovely ladies! I actually do eat porridge everyday so that obviously isn't helping me! DS has actually started refusing the breast now, but does seem more settled with the formula. I wa...

I still have this issue with DS (10 weeks) but I have found if I am making sure he isn't over tired he does self settle, but will only sleep for about an hour at a time. I have also tried the rout...

Wow, you sound just like me! I was using shields for about 4 weeks and found the pain really bad. I ended up going cold turkey as when I tried to take the shields away after 5 mins DS just cracked ...

I used Raspberry leaf tea with DD and swore that it was the reason why I dialated so quickly. However when I had DS I didn't really drink it and dialted about the same rate, so sorry, but I don't r...

Agreed with PP. Having a student is wonderful! I would absolutely recommend it! Having an extra pair of hands at the birth, or even just a familiar face who knows what they are doing is great!! Hig...

If it is only a financial issue, and you are currently working full time, you will be entitled to the Gov Paid Parental Leave which is about $10,000 over 18 weeks. If you are worried about not havi...

That is fine, I did that with my DD with now issues. It is easy, as when you are out and about, most places now have parents rooms with microwaves.

I generally cover up, but sometimes if I am somewhere like playgroup with other BFing mother's i don't bother. My DS is always on and off, so I try to cover up around most people. I just bought a...

Trust your own instincts, as far are what advice to take from a midwife! I had a very bad experience with my DD, with all the different advice and lack of support and ended up FFing. My with DS...

Come too think about it, the signs have always been there. I think because we were told she had serve colic we just took that on board an maybe ashumed that was the only under lying problem. My ...

Hi guys, I am an oldie who deleted my account a few years back. I do miss this joint but it took up way too much of my time. Wrong section i know but this used to the fast paced place for quick a...

I started using my Jumperoo from around 3 months, she had great head control and was basically trying to bounce from birth so she absolutely loved it! DD was very small though and couldn't touch th...

I totally hear you about all the conflicting advice!!! I had a similar problem with DD and she was FF by 5 weeks, as although I was trying to sort out BFing I wasn't being fully supported by the pe...

I son was brreastfeeding every 3 hrs day and night. The evenings were worse as between the hours of 3pm and 10pm he would feed every 2hrs. I suspected reflux (my daughter who is now 12 years old ...

Glad that you've had some luck with the losec. Not sure if you know but you can have it made up as a medicine rather than tablets and it's much easier to give that way. Also as your bub grows if...

I have 14 months between my DD and DS, so far (DS is 8 weeks) it has been great! DD is too young to be really jealous and is so adorable and always wants to help with DS and gives him kisses all th...

Your DD might be having less of the reflux formula because it is thickened and therefore fills her tummy quicker? We tried many different formula's with DD and then found out that they need to be...

What Pine rivers didn't help you?? CHN = Child Health Nurse. They do mother's groups with CHN for first time mothers they are generally run through the community centres. I took my DD from 3 we...

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but around that age my DD decided to drop a day sleep and only had one sleep around 10am for 1-2 hours. We then started putting her to bed early around 6pm. ...
