Hi, I've not posted on here for SOOOO long - but when I saw the linkback I couldn't not reply to this thread :D I'm glad you enjoy my blog :D As for cloth "mamapads" - I too was a sceptic before but I'm a complete convert now, especially since I could never quite get the hang of my...

lol of course you are welcome too!!! make sure i have your correct email addy as i'll be emailing the invites to most people!

oh wow she's grown!!! lol long time no speak, we should try to arrange another meet! maybe in the new year? you guys will be more than welcome to ruben's 1st birthday party in february (invites to follow in the new year!) - if it doesn't clash with heidi's that is! lol

i just wear my normal tops and pull them up. if i'm concerned about my belly flab showing, (yes, that's MOST of the time!) i wear a vest top under my top. i pull my top up and pull the vest down - voila!

aww, skatty... i hope your little girl is ok??? glad you enjoyed those links - as said before, everyone is different and different things work for different people. but i think the most important thing is to listen to your instincts. i know what you mean about the feeling of relief - the night...

personally i cannot see this becoming a problem. once ruben is old enough to grasp the concept of my room/your room, etc i will gently teach him that he should sleep in his own bed the majority of the time, most likely by gently leading him to his room and settling him in his own bed if he does...

i know a lot of mums on here have had good results from it, but i just wanted to offer a different viewpoint on the topic. firstly, let me say that i am not wanting to criticise anyone's parenting choices, and it is not my intention to offend anyone here! i just wanted to show mums that find it...

how about taking the milk powder in pre measured portions, and the empty bottles, then asking the air hostess to fill the bottle with boiling water for you on the plane?

if he's just after comfort then i second urchin here - SLINGING is the way to go! i'm quite into babywearing so if you need any info on the different types of slings please do ask. otherwise - stick with the BFing, you are doing BRILLIANTLY! i promise 100% it will get easier! almost 9 months...

we went for a walk in a local park today, and the colours of the leaves were lovely. so we took a few pics! my friend who came with us took this lovely photo of us all: ruben loved to look at the leaves: ruben and mummy under the tree: thanks for letting me share! :D

i got it from http://www.naturalmothering.co.uk/store/ (watch out for their "bargain box", some good deals come up there!) :D but there are other places to get them too, just google "didymos" or "wraparound baby carrier" in addition to Didymos (didy) there are also other brands, like BB...

it has a bit of a learning curve but not too hard to put on once you've tried it a few times. the sheer amount of fabric (5metres approx) is a bit daunting at first. it's well worth it though as it is SOOOOO comfy! not used my buggy for over a month now i've mastered back carries! ruben is...

our very first didy (wraparound carrier) arrived in the post this morning after a loooong wait! the one i borrowed from a friend earlier has been returned and this is MIIIIINE! hoping to spread some babywearing love here, come on mummies take the plunge and ditch the buggy! (we've not used...

lol, i throw him over my shoulder! not as scary as it sounds when you're used to it - i've been doing back carries for a while now with my mei tai (a different kind of carrier) but this is my first time with a back carry using this particular style of carrier (a short wrap)

oh yeah... doh... thanks for that! i've edited those pics now!
