Have booked a holiday in France for September by which time my LO will be 11 months. Would be it be okay by then to stop sterilising the bottles? I know most of the websites recommend waiting till a year but really don't want to have to lug the steriliser with me if I can help it. Also would I...

I am struggling a bit at the moment getting Grace's portion sizes right...originally I don't think I was feeding her enough as she would be hungry/grizzly and when I compared it to what my friends babies were having it wasn't much. So then I upped it quite a bit and she put on 10ounces in 2...

Does anyone have any ideas for easy meals to cook (Grace is almost 8 months) have the annabel karmel book but some of the ingredients are a bit fancy. Feel like I'm giving her the same thing to eat lately - looking for some inspiration! x

Hi girls, for the past 3 weeks or so Grace has become really irritable and seems to get frustrated really easily. It seems wherever I put her she's ok for 5 minutes then grizzles so we have to do something else. If she's on her back she rolls onto her front then grizzles because she can't quite...

Just wondering how old your LOs were when you started to wean them?

Still have a month or so before we will start weaning Grace but been thinking about it and want to get a bit organised particulary as I will be starting back at work around the same time! Does anyone have any top tips at all? ie best foods/what equipment I need/how I get started? Also any...

Is your baby following? Have to admit I don't fully understand it! But Grace is just above 25th centile...

When does your baby nap during the day and for how long? Grace is doing well during the night in that she goes to bed around 7:30-8pm, has a feed around 4am then back down until 8am. Just not sure how long she should be napping during the day though? x x

Just wondered how many of you ladies with young babies have routines in place? Grace is only 5 weeks old and at the moment doesn't have any set routine. She feeds every 3 to 4 hours, sleeps when she's tired and every morning I either bath her and top and tail her but apart from that we're...

Given Grace is now almost 5 weeks old thought it was about time I write my birthing story! Here it is... Contractions started as mild period pains at around 3am, although all in my back. Wasn’t really sure if it was the start of something but they did seem to come and go. Didn’t...

Well thought it was about time I start a baby journal after my TTC journal and pregnancy journal. Have been so unbelievably busy this is the first opportunity I've had to start one - Grace is now almost 5 weeks old! Here is my birthing story... :stork: Contractions started as mild period...

Just wondered how much formula people are giving their babies and how long go inbetween feeds? My little girl will be 3 weeks tomorrow, she's been on 3 ounces since I gave up breastfeeding at 5 days but the longest she goes inbetween is 3 hours. Would it be wise for me to up her to 4 ounces to...

My poor little girl is suffering with constipation and I feel so helpless....when she does manage to go they're like little hard pellets and it's awful to see her in pain. So far i've tried massage, warm baths and rasin water and nothing has helped :-( Does anyone have any advice? She's...

As a new mum I'm a little bit anxious about feeding my LO when I'm out....am currently bottle feeding, just wondered what's the best way to transport the formula? Is it best to just take the water then add the formula when I'm out or can I take the bottle out already made up? x x

Hi Girlies have missed you all so much!! Hope you're all keeping well :) Since having Grace I haven't had a minute to live - we've been inundated with visitors and been feeling very tired and overwhelmed. That said being a mummy is AMAZING! Will hopefully have more time soon to spend on PF and...

As the title says really! Been feeling crap for a couple of days with a bad cold and sore throat, but nearly every cold remedy I look at says it's not suitable for use during pregnancy. Does anyone have any top tips? Feel so rubbish....:( x x

Had my last day at work today and got thoroughly spoilt! Went out for a drink at lunchtime with a friend and when i got back the whole office had been decorated and they'd arranged a surprise baby shower for me! Lovely buffet, lots of cards, flowers and presents for little one. One work friend...

for when you're on maternity leave? I start mine in 2 weeks time so will have 3 weeks before my due date. Hoping to catch up with friends and get some duvet days in in front of the telly! Might go swimming and also have a pedicure booked which I got for a bargain price from Groupon...

So basically as I'm such a short arse and have to have my seat as far forward as it will go to reach the pedals I now have the problem of my bump getting in the way! There's literally only a few centimetres gap between my bump and the steering wheel so it's not really safe for me to be driving...

Okay this is going to sound really lame but I have my antenatal class next week, (it's a one-off full day session rather than individual classes) but I'm feeling quite anxious about going. OH is coming with me, he's really keen to go as he's feeling a bit clueless about the whole labour process...
