    Who did actually wait until 6 months to start weaning?

    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...

    Teething question

    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...

    Too old fashioned?

    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 :)

    Bedtime feeding nightmare

    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...

    Vote: how painful was your labour

    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...

    Anyone tried hypnobirthing?

    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...

    First finger foods

    Isaac really liked bread sticks, which was useful as he never liked rusks or other such biscuit type baby foods :)
