I just got one last month, my LO is one now. I already have a big chunky urban detour, and I use the quinny just for travelling and popping our quickly. I love it. Its super light and easy to handle. shame that it doesnt recline though. Cost me 90 pounds on offer.

Im on these also and my periods have become very irregular. Sometimes I bleed for weeks on end, then dont have a period for ages... its a total pain really, but I started taking them because i was breastfeeding and they were the only ones my doctor recommended. Hope it gets better for you soon!

Im so glad ive seen this thread! I was about to buy a quinny zapp for my LO who is almost a year. I have an urban detour which i love, but its so hard to travel with becuase it is HUGE and weighs a ton! anyway, Ive been looking at the jogger now and it looks perfect! just what I needed... I...

Hi KJ, Im in a similar situation to you at the moment. My boy is ten months now, and He hasnt put on any weight at all for about two months now. I have to take him to the doc every two weeks to follow up. He eats really well, and has three good home cooked meals a day, but I think he has been...

I have the Ikea one aswell and i really love it because it is totally simple. it serves its purpose perfectly. really cheap, think it was just 11 euros here in spain

Well done! Its a really nice feeling to know that your baby is growing so well thanks to your milk!

I started giving baby a beaker at around 5 months.... but he still hasnt learnt to drink from it! He just throws it around, turns it upside, chews on it.... and every now and then takes a little sip of water. I guess he will get the hang of it eventually!

Thanks again for all the tips everyone. KJ, youre right, I think I just need to persevere with the whole bottle thing. trouble is, I start working a bit next month so I think he will have to accept a bottle by then. Not sure what I will do otherwise! And it really is so hard to let him...

Thank you ladies for all the good advice! I find this whole food thing very confusing.... especially when the breast feeding has been so easy. I feel that suddenly everything is much harder to organise and its hard to get the timing right. I think you are all right about his evening feed being...

eek sorry! meant to post this in feeding and nutrition.... obviously havent had enough sleep! :D

Just wondering how long those of you who breast feed are planning on doing? My boy is seven months now, and i still breast feed him throughout the day, and throughout the nigh! He is nowhere near sleeping through yet unfortuantely. There is so much info around on bottle feeding and starting...

well today has been a little more successful. he has managed to eat half an avocdo and not throw it all up! so maybe were getting somewhere now. having trouble locating finger foods here though(spain) maybe will have to go to Gibraltar to find some bits! im a bit scared of giving him carrot or...

Thanks for the advice. I have tried mixing with breast milk but he still wont have it. I will try the finger foods, maybe he will prefer that! I have mainly been trying to feed him around lunch time. Maybe I should try a different time like early morning or later in the afternoon. Maybe hes just...

Need some advice please! Ive been exclusively breastfeeding for six months... and have over the last three weeks been slowly trying to introduce solids.. but not very successful so far! I have tried baby rice, rusks, cereal, carrot, sweet potatoe , banana, apple, pear... the only thing he seems...

Poor little thing! I always get scared even if its just a little coughing! God knows how stressed I will get when I start on real food!
