    Babyproofing - sharp corners in furniture?

    Hiya :wave: I bought these plastic 'soft corner cushions' from John Lewis to babyproof sharp corners I have in some of my furniture. As it happens it's my LO's favourite game to take them out. In fact, she cruises around the furniture to find the cushions and pulls them out :shakehead: . Not...

    At what age did you start adding spices to your babies food?

    Hiya :wave: At what age did you start adding spices to your LO's food? And, what spices did you add? I haven't been adding any spices yet, and use unsalted butter (and plan to do so for a loooong time). I was just thinking that maybe I could start introducing herbs to her roasted vegetables...

    My daughter is 'weak' because....

    ...she doesn't walk by 9 months :shock: :shock: :shock: !!!! This is according to my FIL and MIL. Both of their children (including my OH) apparently walked by 9 months. Also my LO's cousins (ie my OH sisters' kids) did so! I politely told them that the average age babies walk is 14 months...

    Officially a SAHM - anyone else?

    So I went to work today to tell them that I am not going back (at least for another year or two) and they agreed to give me a career break. So I am now officially a stay-at-home-mum. Anyone else? How do you find it? I am absolutely loving staying at home with my baby. I just couldn't entertain...

    Help needed - problems with getting LO to settle in her cot

    I posted rather long post the other day about getting my LO to fall asleep in her cot instead of in my bed (viewtopic.php?f=57&t=106282 - don't bother reading). Now I would REALLY appreciate your help. She went to sleep fine tonight in her cot (her third night). However, she woke up an hour...

    A question for Co-sleepers - bedtime...

    Hiya Co-Sleepers, What happens during your LO's bedtime (what time does he/she go to bed? do you go to bed at the same time? does she go to bed in your bed or cot?) I put LO to bed around 8pm, and then go to bed myself at around 11pm. The issue is that because of her separation...

    Anyone seen Changeling?

    I went to see it today and during the film I was fine (even though I thought it was extremely sad), but when feeding LO tonight in bed I started realising how disturbing it was. I can't believe it's a true story. And yes, it was awful how the mother was treated, but what about those innocent...

    I didn't realise teething can be this bad - anyone else?

    Hiya, So LO was a little unsettled before she cut her first tooth on Wednesday. But the proper uncomfort started after that. We've been up now for four nights pretty much from early hours. Last night was worst so far (and hope it doesn't get any worse :pray: ). I just wasn't able to console...

    Getting pregnant while BF:ing???

    Out of interest, (and after reading Sherlock's thread on tandem feeding) has anyone got pregnant whilst breastfeeding (or know anyone who has)? We haven't used contraception as we would welcome a new pregnancy anytime, but I haven't even had my first period yet and LO is nearly 8 months :)...

    Separation anxiety

    Hiya :wave: It would be great if you could share your experiences of your LO's separation anxiety. Anything which helped? How long did it last? When did end? DD has been having separation/stranger anxiety for the last few weeks, so it started around 7 months. I have never left her for longer...

    Would you stay at home if you could?

    What it says really, would you stay at home with your LO if you could (if you didn't have to worry about finances etc)? Or would you rather go back to work full/-part-time? Why?

    Vegetarian mums

    What are you feeding your LO? I thought about this long and carefully. I've been vegetarian for over 10 years (out of which I was vegan for four years, I did have some fish oil during pregnancy, particularly last trimester) and maybe a few years back I would have made my LO vegetarian also...

    Sling 'accessories'

    Look what my mum knitted!!! Woolly socks and leg warmers for LO. Now her legs won't get cold in a sling. Has anyone else got any useful sling accessories??? If yes, photos please. I'd love to get a poncho with two holes in it. I am sure you'd be able to buy a normal one and just to make an...

    BF:ing mums - how do you prepare your LOs porridge?

    My LO is nearly seven months and we've been doing mainly BLW:ing. Due to constipation I have now decided to introduce porridge to increase her fibre intake. So how do you BF:ing mums prepare your LO's porridge (or baby rice)? LO has never had a bottle of EBM so I have never had to express. My...

    Weaning and Constipation - any tips?

    Hiya :wave: Have you got any tried and tested tips for relieving constipation? LO started on solids about three weeks ago. She has been severely constipated. She only managed to move bowels every three day or so at the beginning, and every time she did so she was crying in pain. Her face was...
