Aaron had croup when he was 2. He had a temp with his though and was croaking when he breathed so he spent a night in hospital and had a steroid given to him. He was a million times better in the morning but the cough was still there for about a week. He's had it since but not as bad. It's...

We took Tamzin to a wedding at 8 weeks old and she was an angel! She slept most of it apart from feeds and barely cried at all! My 3 year old was more of a handful!

I've had one and a VBAC.

Have as many baths as possible! The bath was a godsend in those early days! Arnica tablets are brill too and Lavender oil in the bath. My midwife told me to mix lavender oil with some milk otherwise it tends to sit on top of the water. I think after about 2 weeks I felt a lot better! I remember...

Tamzin knows her name and has done for a while now.

Awww hun!! Hope you feel better soon, Ive got the stinking cold as well and I just don't wanna move!! Let's hope that from now to July goes superfast hun! I remember my brother going on deployments and I used to miss him can't imagine what it's like for your partner to have to go! :hug:

Tamzin used to be the same. The things that stopped it in the end were going up a nappy size and going up a size on her vests if they looked a tad tight. It's wind that makes them poo so high and it's disgusting :lol:

I swapped Tamzin over when she looked too big for it. Think she was around 4 months? She loves being sat up now and loves to be able to see things!

If she's outgrown it you can buy a combination car seat which faces forwards and backwards. I had to get one of these for my son as he outgrew his but was too young to go forward facing. I'm not sure about easy fitting ones though. :think:

Tamzin did this a lot from the age of about 4 months old! In the end a few weeks ago she just gave up feeding in the day and I cannot get her to feed at all no matter how much I try! So I gave up too and she quite happily has 2 huge booby feeds a day and her solids. I just put as much milk as...

I got some box frame ones today for £1 each in morrisons, they're really nice! They also have the normal cheap clip frames 3 for £1!

I think at around Zach's age Tamzin started getting into a feeding routine and was having around 5 breastfeeds a day and sleeping from 9pm til 7am

I think it's a personal thing. It never worked for me and I don't think it would ever work for me because once I love someone I want to be close to them and be with them as much as possible. For some people it does work though!

Tamzin was 6 weeks old when Aaron turned 3 and it is a brilliant age gap for me! I had those few weeks to recover after the birth and for Aaron to get used to having a baby around before he started pre school. Now he's at pre school 4 mornings a week so me and Tamzin have some time by ourselves...

Totally different pregnancies! Aaron I felt and looked awful! I could barely eat for the first 12 weeks and just felt rough in general and bthat everything was an effort, my hair was rank! With Tamzin I felt brilliant, barely felt pregnant until I got heavy in the last few weeks. I bdidn't feel...
