    Am I on my own?

    Brooke is now 10 months and not sleeping through. She used to sleep through until she was 7 months but it all went downhill from there. I think it started when she got a sickness bug, cut her first teeth and moved to her own room. She went from stirring for her dummy to full blown wide awake for...

    Getting baby ready!

    Body-wise that is! My periods were up to 60-days apart before I fell pregnant with my daughter and they are slowly slipping back into this pattern. My last period was 50 days ago and no sign yet of the next one! I have just ordered a big pack of OV tests and i'm going to get some Agnus Castus...

    Going to try again next year!

    Which feels very soon considering my little girl has only turned 8 months today...! But we're going to wait until she turns 2 next August, then crack on and hope for the best! Would love either another girl or a boy, just hope we're lucky enough to be blessed with another. So excited! x :dance:

    Whinging constantly... can't cope!

    I don't know what is wrong with Brooke. Earlier on in the week she had a sickness bug and was genuinely poorly. She's been fine for the last 3 days but has been whinging, whining, moaning and groaning CONSTANTLY. My hubby and I are on the edge. I don't know what's wrong with her. She is just so...

    Enough milk?

    Brooke is 7 months on Sunday. She is pretty much established on 3 meals a day now and as such has dropped quite a bit of milk. Yesterday she had only 18oz & two of those ounces were in her morning porridge. She is only taking 3oz at most feeds and is now dropping most of her 3-4pm feed. Should...

    Early morning waking...

    Morning, Not sure if this is just normal, but Brooke has started waking really early. She goes down between 7pm-8pm (depending on what time she has her last nap). She normally stirs about 4am for her dummy but would normally go back off until 6.30-7ish but in the last week she is wide awake...

    Separation Anxiety at 6 months?

    My small girl is starting to get a bit upset if she sees me leaving the room, especially at bedtime and it's starting to make bedtime a bit of a battle. She has been amazing at going to bed for the last 10-11 weeks, she goes down awake, has a bash of her light show then is normally asleep...

    Weaning - constipation?

    Has anyone, recently starting their LO's on solids, noticed that they're a bit constipated? Also B's poos have gone totally solid - no more exploding mush, actually solid poop! She seems to be straining a lot of the time too but not alot is actually happening. Is this normal?Or should he stools...

    What would I be entitled to?

    I'm due to go back to work on 1 June. I currently work 3-days a week; I don't think my employer would allow me to go back on any less as it's a job share and the other person does the other two days due to child care too. I earn about £900 a month. Nursery fees come to £840 a month so it's...

    Is this her tooth?

    Small girl has been grumpy as anything for the last 4-5 days. Today has been the ultimate. When she's not asleep she is constantly whining/whinging/whimpering. She doesn't really want to eat - she's had about 3oz since 4.00pm. I have given her some yoghurt and a reduced-sugar rusk to chomp on...

    New BLW's - Share Here

    Morning ladies, I know some of us will be starting (officially) BLW in the next few weeks, so I thought it might be an idea for us to have our own thread of what our LO's are having, as well as somewhere for us to get some ressurance and support from each other. Brooke is 5 months/23 weeks on...

    Which formula do you use?

    B is on Aptimil first milk. It seems to be running through her. I thought she may be lactose intolerant as she also started to get a rash when feeding (GP/pharmacist not sure what it is...!) but when I tried her on LF milk, she still got the rash. Which formula do you use & how many dirty...

    Help! Lactose Intolerance...

    Feel like a fucking shit mother as think B may be lactose intolerant and I'm only realising this now. She's always had runny nappies, sometimes 3-4 a day but I've got a book that says they can go up to 8 times so I've never really worried. But yesterday and today when she's feeding she's come...

    How can I get her to take more?

    When Brooke was weighed at 12 weeks she had only put on 8oz in 4 weeks. She is currently on six, 4oz bottles per day as I can't get her to take anymore per feed. I make up 5oz bottles but 1oz is always left. Today (although she's not been herself today and is teething I think) she has only had...

    Why does she keep waking?

    My little tinker has started to wake up quite a bit in the night. Initially she started at 2am, 4am, 6am but I started dream feeding her and this worked for a few nights as she would sleep straight til 5am or 6am. She goes down at night between 7-730pm and is conked at this time. I then dream...

    Sleep training...!

    Has anyone done anything in particular with regards to sleep training? I don't know if 10 weeks is too young to be worrying about it really. I want Brooke (eventually) to be able to go down & fall asleep on her own (at the mo she falls asleep on me & I put her down 20mins later) and her also to...

    Dream Feeds/Late Feeds

    For those that do dream feeds, what time does your LO go to bed, what time do you wake them, how much is your LO taking & when do they wake afterwards? Brooke is now on 6oz bottles; she has 3 big feeds between 7-8am & 6pm (a guaranteed 18oz) but her last bottle of the day from 6pm onwards is...

    When to put LO in Snugglesuit?

    It's getting really nippy here, temps around 5c in the night. Wondering if it's cold enough to put Brooke in her snugglesuit tonight? Don't want her to be too warm as it's really fleecy the one I've got. I normally have her in a sleepsuit, swaddle her, then tuck her in with another blanket -...

    What does "sleeping through the night" mean to you?

    My Mummy friend and I, are always saying how fed up we are of hearing how babies of our age or younger are "sleeping through the night" already (there's been a baby boom in are area so we know loads of Mummy's). We get fed up cause we're jealous obviously. But when we dug a little bit deeper we...

    Period... again?

    I had my first period after having Brooke 20 days ago. I think I was ovulating earlier this week, Sunday/Monday as I had lots of EWCM although I can't be certain, I just noticed it, so I was expecting to come on this time next week. But this morning I'm bleeding a little bit. It looks like it...
