Ophelia has watched us eat from about 4months old, at 5months she would scream at me when I was eating and she wasn't given any, so I introduced a taste of half a baby jar a day, and pieces of fruit, and she loves it, but she's a mad chewer, she will chew ANYTHING! I really hate weaning with a...

I am unable to get anything off expressing and so if I introduce a bottle it will be formula, and I was wondering how BF'ing Mum's who introduced a bottle, did this with their LO's? Ophelia will be 6months on the 24th. She weighs about 13lb, we're having her weighed tomz, she was small at 5lb...

Wanted to say congratulations on your little boy Fraser, he is so gorgeous! Love the pic :) And so pleased you had him at home too, I'll bet him and Austin are the best of friends now, hope your all doing well and sending very best wishes :hug: :hug: :hug:

Congratualtions on baby Amber, she is soooooooooooooooo adorable!! I do hope you are all doing well, and I'm sorry they faffed about with you to begin with but that the birth went well and all's well :hug: :hug: :hug: Ophelia was very quick too I can relate to the shock, I do hope she's...

I'm so so pleased for you that things went naturally and how gorgeous is Levi! A very handsome name too for a special little boy, I'm sure your Mum was looking down, what a wonderful birth story, I do hope you're all doing well and take care of you :hug: :hug: :hug: I've only just got round...

Enjoy your baby girl being close, there seems such a hurry to get into routines, sleeping alone, this closeness is only here a short while, enjoy it :hug: :hug: :hug:

All babies teeth come through at different times, Isaac got his top 2 middle, then bottom 2 middle, then the 2 either side of top, then bottom, then the middle back ones top, then bottom, he has 12 teeth to date. I think teething can be worse for some babies/toddlers, Isaac can get very very...

A bit late but I've been busy :lol: Isaac had dry skin issues and we found Porridge Oats run under the bath water through a Muslin, creates a natural, milky soluyion which will soothe and help his skin, its all natural too, very best wishes :hug:

We call Ophelia 'Phe Phe' (sounds like fee fee/fi fi) a lot, and always write it that way too, just to be awkward, plus it's also easier for Isaac to pronounce, although he sometimes calls her Bee Bee :)

Focus on the fact he sleeps through and enjoy that :clap: :hug: he is still little, and eventually he will drop that 45min later feed I'm sure :hug: He may even just be wanting reassurence, comfort, and the feed you take is something he maybe doesn't necessarily need, but personally I think...

Isaac was breast and formula fed from week1, but Ophelia is still just breast and I've had no problems, nor did I with Isaac, I am sure you will be fine, your boobies will remember and your baby will be as smart as Millie so will get themselves feeding fine soon I'm sure :hug:

I've not voted, its too hard to say, but personally I found the contractions, the drug free ones, very manageable, it was the pushing stage I found 'painful', though I do think half of that was fear :hug: With Isaac I was induced with an oxytocin drip and it went terribly painful whereas I was...

Thanks trixipaws lol With Isaac I did dilate well without any 'pain', I do believe reading Marie Mongan's book helped greatly, as did the Rainbow CD from the Hypnobirthing classes. The greatest thing hypnobirthing does is it teaches you how your uterus works, how to mentally understand it with...

Isaac was a dream pregnancy, I'd carry him over and over :D Ophelia wasn't, sickness and fatigue :( but I'd labour and give birth to her every day :D So for me, different symptoms meant different sexes :hug:

Personally I love Little Lambs nappies and wraps :dance: When I first started I chose to buy lots of different kinds to try, as with all babies being different, different work better for different babies.. maybe look for used ones on here or ebay? There's also...
