    baby breathing monitors

    Definately go for it! We have an Angelcare with motion sensor pad and only now at 16 months have we just stopped using it. My mum bought a non digital tommee tippee one which meant she went from napping in the room beside him to leaving him to it! Just read the instructions, some of them...

    baby very dry skin

    Hi there, Sorry I've not been on here in such a while but thought I'd post my thoughts. I used grapeseed oil for my little one, which is absorbed more easily than the thicker olive oil. It's also used as a carrier oil in massage so very commonly used and safe for baby too. Last time I picked...

    I dont like it! I'm a nervous wreck!

    :wave: hiya, My DS has always slept on his tummy, only way he would. The SIDS advice is if they can roll the risk is greatly reduced because they will likely move about even a little in their sleep. I reassured myself by being mindful of the other advice, like keeping the temperature cooler...

    1 year old, where has the time gone?

    Wow, it's scary when they get so quick! He's not quite there yet with the walking, his latest trick is standing up from the floor without using any furniture or walker or anything, he'll just stand and watch TV or whatever. I don't think it'll be long before he steps out, although he's so...

    1 year old, where has the time gone?

    Thank you ladies, nice to see some familiar names! We had a busy day, with lots of family around which was nice. Unfortunately Ross has had Rotavirus for the past week but he's managing to smile through it. How are you all doing?

    1 year old, where has the time gone?

    Well a couple of weeks ago my baby boy turned one on my 30th birthday! The last year has flown in and to say I had an emotional day would be an understatement! He's my absolute world and brings happiness to anyone who will look in his direction for a big cheesy grin. Here he is, my best...

    Removing all pics?

    Is there a way to remove all pictures previously added on posts before closing an account? Or would I have to go through all posts one by one to remove? Thanks

    So tired :-(

    I've not really got any suggestions, will she nap later? I've been up since the back of 2 but LO is busy sleep talking.

    tiny baby shoes??

    Have you tried inchblue? The woman who makes them has a page on Facebook, I'm sure if you contacted her she'd be able to tell you if she could custom make sizes.

    Help with routine..

    I think like the others said giving her puree at the 4-5ish mark. I know you said you don't want to drop formula, but have you tried giving her a little water with her puree, maybe just enough to make her feel like her tummy is full but not as hard to process as milk so you can go on to give...

    Breastfeeding in Public?

    Now I've not really had any experience but one of my friends from my ante natal class used to wear a long cotton scarf, nothing special just matching her outfits. When her baby had a feed she'd drape one end loosely over babies head and her boob so you really couldn't see anything. I suppose...

    For all those bottle feeders out there (mini rant alert!)

    You know what I think is important, that our babies are fed!! And when babies are fed they grow and flourish into happy little beings. When that happens we are happy mummies. In my birth announcement post I said I felt like I was breaking all the 'rules' and do you know, if there were rules...

    Birthing positions

    I hear what you're saying about dignity and everything, I feel that lying on your back with legs akimbo has to be one of the least dignified positions. That's certainly how I ended up but it didn't feel very natural and is actually a medically manufactured position as it's most convenient for...
