Hazel, I totally sympathise. I am the same. It's sooooo frustrating. I end up wearing clothes that make me look shapeless as I try to hide my huge boobs too. Another post coming about that! :wall: I don't know what to suggest as I have never come up with a solution I am happy with, but I...

We just put about 5/6 dummies in her cot and she usually finds one nearby. It was great when she learnt this skill. I got the tip of putting several in the cot from a friend. Glad you have found a solution that works for you....saves the "dummy runs" doesn't it? x

Yes I saw it Saturday night and it was SUPERB! Very emotive but soooo well done. My OH knew all about the film as Radio 1 did some reviews on it and he told me that the two little boys who played the 2 mian characters Jamal and Salim really were homeless street kids. Film crew etc said they did...

I am not sure when is a good time, I guess you have to do what is right for you. I just waited for 2 weeks as my LO wasn't in a routine until then, by that I mean regular feeds (but still on demand) and before that my boobs used to fill up at random times in response to LO's then random feeding...

Hi Hun I must have missed out that you had had your baby! So first of all congrats on the birth of Alex! I had an emergency C-section after 24 hours of labour and I felt like I was going to cause severe damage everytime I moved! I was never able to stand up fully for about 2 weeks after. I...

I took Imogen at around a couple of months old for 3 months and we loved them. I thought they were well worth the money. When OH was at home with Lo when I went back to work FT he went along with her and thought they were a waste of money! His reasons were that the woman running them didn't do...

:wave: Thanks for the sympathy and understanding girls. Good (& not so good for you all) to know I am not alone. I suggested OH slept in spare room last night so at least one of us got a decent kip. He was much better this morning. I got up at 5.45am with LO and then he was up at 8am for her so...

Try to keep it short :doh: :fib: (edited this after I wrote keep it short, and then couldn't!) LO woke at 2.30am. As OH is doing childcare today he got up - said there was "nothing" wrong with her so we left her to settle herself. Hour later she is still crying on and off, wimpering sort of...

My death in service grant for work allowed me to "nominate" my partner so it would go to him as we are not married. So it won't automatically go to next of kin. Might be worth checking out! :) x

Thanks for your reply Kate82 - just wondered if anyone else wanted to share their LO's heights? OH is taking her to be weighed and measured on Wednesday and have a chat with HV about our concerns.

Aww honey I couldn't read and run. I am no expert on temperatures, but if you are unsure ring NHS direct and ask their advice I am sure they'd be happy to advise. :hug: :hug:

Imogen is 73cm. She seems to be the smallest baby wherever we go, nursery, baby gym etc, compared to babies of the same age and people often comment on how small she is. I am 5ft 1" and OH is 5ft 9" ish although his dad and brother are over 6 ft. I was always very small I assumed it was partly...

Completed!

Hey Leckershell I am sorry to hear you and your OH might be at this stage, but TBH my OH and I have thought about this. We have always felt that things could improve between us. I think there are lots of pressures on us and that does not help, but it's how to deal with those pressures that are...

Oh hun I am so sorry to read your updated post. I hope you have support around you directly, and of course your forum friends are always here to support. Rest when you can, my best wishes to you. x x x x
