Hello :wave: I am going to visit my sister and her daughter in seven days time, however, today, her little one has developed Chicken pox. We may be in the clear, but it may be possible that her daughter's spots are still weeping and not crusted over by the time we are due to go; which would...

April had her first Christmas party yesterday. It was brilliant. I am terribly biased, I know, but I thought April looked adorable and I had to share.... With all her cute friends....

Ok, I know it might sound obvious, but I have been modelling clapping since day one and holding April's hands and clapping them with her, but we are nowhere near independent clapping. I know babies do things when they are good and ready, but should I be doing anything to help her? (Pushy parent...

Hello April still sleeps in our bed at the moment. She still wants to feed during the night, so it has been the best solution for us all getting some sleep. I am not going back to work, so we are in no rush to get her into a routine and get her out of our bed. Having her in bed with me seems...

I can't believe April is 6 months today!! It has flown by!!! We waited until today to give April her first solid food - it was carnage!!! (Mainly because my OH insisted on letting her experiment with her hands!!) Anyway, some pics to show how my little girl has grown..... and now.....

I had to get the tights after I saw Phoebe's!! However, April wouldn't lie still for a decent pic, so here she is flashing her stripey bum!! lol! :rotfl:

These are a few of my little cuddle monkey. I am really really proud of her. She had loads of trouble gaining weight and went from 50th centile to the 2nd in the first 8 weeks. Today, after lots of hard work, she has finally made it back to the 50th centile again! Got her weighed and she is...

Hello!! It is my turn to have my NCT group over for lunch next Thursday. There are 5 of us and most are veggie. We usually did quiche/pizza/salad etc, but now people have been cooking 'proper' dishes. I am quite scared as I feel shy about sharing my culinary talents with anyone except my OH...

Long story short.... We bought a 'Skate' pushchair from M&P in February. (Costs more than we can afford, but parents were buying and wanted to splash out.) It broke when April was 15 weeks old. It took 5 weeks to fix with numerous calls to M&P to hassle them about it. (They said 7-10 days to...

Hello :wave: I was thinking of making April a teddy or a rag doll for Christmas. I thought it would be something special for her to keep, plus a home made pressie cuts down the cost of Christmas a little (a must these days!) I as also hoping to make her a stocking and embroider her name on...

Hello, :wave: I am a bit concerned about April. She hasn't really been eating much for the past few days. She will take a breast feed but then doesn't want her bottle supplement at all (she usually has anything up to 5 or 6oz after a breast feed as I have poor supply.) She isn't really...

I have a about 10 bananas about to go off and we can't eat them in time. I am too tight to throw them away and wondered if I can freeze them so I can use them when I start weaning April in a month's time? If you can, how do you do it? Would I mash them, or do them whole or in slices? Thanks :D

and bought a piano and music centre for £3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo!! April seems to love it!! and doing an Elvis impression whilst she tinkles the ivories...

Hello :) We are currently looking at high chairs for April and quite franky we are bemused/confused by the selection. We thought you just need a wipe clean seat, a removable tray and a safety strap/harness. It seems as though high chairs have all sorts of functions and gimmicks, so I have a...

Hi there. I am hoping to get to 6 months before I wean April, however, I am researching and making sure I have everything I need so we are ready to go. I have given it a great deal of thought and I am going to go with purees and building textures instead of BWL. I am currently reading Annabel...

My SIL got married on friday so we all spent a few days staying in a lovely hotel in the countryside. I just wanted to share some pics of my littlie at her first wedding :) The afternoon before... On a walk on the morning of the wedding...(OH's family moaned because her hat didn't match her...

Hi there! I saw monthly weight loss threads when I was pregnant and thought they looked like a great idea. I am no longer pregnant and I could really do with some help. I am and (almost) always have been a very big lass (size 24/6). I managed to loose lots of weight through sensible eating...

Hi, I was just wondering what AD medication was given to breast feeding mothers. Some of you know already that I saw a psychotherapist through out my pregnancy to help me get through the pregnancy without Seroxat. I had been taking it for over 5 years to help with extreme anxiety. The...

My little one has started teething and she isn't happy :( :( :( :( She has little rosy cheeks, dribbles everywhere and furiously chews her little fingers (and anything that she can get in her mouth). Tonight she was really really upset. Shoving her hands in her mouth and getting more...

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone elses in laws drive them daft? I have a list far too long to mention of annoying things they do or say, but their newest game seems to be on insisting that MY baby looks like their side of the family. Granted, she does have half of her...
