We had a talk from the HVs early on after Emms was born re oral hygeine. The woman said that we really need to get baby to change from bottles with teats to beakers by 1 yr as they are much better for teeth. I wondered how easy people had found this? Emms will drink water from a beaker but at...

May sound a silly/ ignorant question but Emms seems a bit prone to ear infections. I asked the Dr yesterday if I can do anything to prevent them and he just said to monitor the ears to check if there are any changes/ discharge but not any suggestions of things that might stop her getting them in...

Emms has become a milk gannit - downing bottles of milk several times a day but also eating more food. Is it normal for babs to want more milk at 10 months? I thought they reduced their milk feeds but in the last 2 weeks she has really wanted more. She has started to sleep through the night as...

Please someone tell me that my boobs will improve when I stop BF!!! They are so ugly - loose skin, droopy and horrible! I'm going to stop in the next few weeks but am wondering if they will perk up again or whether I'm going to have to live with granny boobs for the rest of my life!!! :shock...

I was wondering if anyone else has been in the same position as me - winding down the breastfeeding but finding it really hard to get bab to sleep. Emms has been ill this week so I have BF more and it is so easy to get her to sleep at the breast! She is normally on bottles during the day and BF...

When did you start introducing these things to LO? I havent given Emms any sugary stuff like that yet although she does get sweet fromage frais. Just wondered what others do and what is recommended? I dont want her to get a taste for these things yet, but wondered when was a reasonable age to...

Hi, following Bloom's recent post, is anyone else winding down BF and finding it quite hard? I have started to give Emms a bottle of formula in the afternoons now. She gets formula at the childminders 3 days a week anyway, but doesnt drink much and BFs first thing in the morning and after work...

I'm not sure if I have PND in a mild form or whether I'm just having a bad phase? I think I had a panic attack last night - Emms wouldnt go to sleep and I just broke down and just cried and rocked and shouted and screamed. My breathing went rapid and strained. Luckily OH helped out and calmed me...

I am getting so stressed with the whole feeding business. Basically Emms has never had a big appetite but was having 3 reasonable meals most days. Lately she has been refusing to eat much that is spoon fed to her. So I am trying to give her more finger foods which she seems to like. I give her...

Is Angel sleeping any better now? Emms started to improve but then got a cold so it has all gone to pot again!

Can I just ask - what do other people do about giving your baby the meals that you have? My problems with this are: A lot of the stuff I eat has sauces which have sugar and salt in them e.g. pasta sauce, curry sauce, etc - I dont really want to give her stuff like that. I could just give Emms...

This is the 2nd time that we have had a very strange day with Emma. She woke up and seemed really tired, refused breakfast and refused to go down for a nap. She was then hot and red with a runny nose. Nothing would console her apart from a boob in her mouth! :shock: She has been like this the...

Does anyone else wake up just before their LO starts to cry? Quite often I wake up and then about a minute later Emma wakes up in her nursery and starts crying! Wierd 6th sense or something! Mother and baby bond? :shock:

Has anyone got any good egg based recipes for an 8 month old with no teeth?!! I have tried giving Emms bits of omellette, but she has just played with it and dropped it. I am thinking I would need to blend it up but I cant think of a good way to do an eggy puree!! Any ideas?

I am getting confused as have heard different information about how long a baby should sleep during the day. Emma is having dreadful nights where she will wake up through the night although seems to be able to nap at least twice during the day. This morning she slept from 9.15 until I woke her...

Emms slept from 8pm to 7.30am!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 2 months of her waking through the night every 1 or 2 hrs, a major breakthrough! Lets hope not a one off blip! I start a new job tomorrow, please let this continue! :pray: :pray: :pray:

Emms is having 3 meals at the moment - porridge, chicken and veg or cauliflower cheese and then yoghurt and fruit. I am thinking that soon I will have to give her 2 meals of meat and veg and the fruit and yoghurt as snacks/ puddings soon. What have other people done at 7 months? What snacks do...

I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about CC as Emms has been waking a lot through the night, seeming only to want a cuddle from me. I tried CC but she got so distressed and vomited everywhere that I gave up and didnt want to keep going with it. HOWEVER - I think I will have to try again...

Emms is getting quite long for her changing table and I was wondering when people stopped using there's? Mine is like a shelf unit where you can take the changing table bit off. When they get too big, do you just change them on the floor?

I'm wondering if Emms bad sleep pattern (waking up all through the night) is actually down to weaning rather than teething or maybe a combo of both. Last night she woke up every hour, hour and a half and each time had quite a good fart and then seemed ok and went back to sleep after a bit of...
