We came to a decision to ntnp when baby boy is 18 months. Let fate decide! It means we can enjoy him and not be distracted ttc (we found that a bit stressful keeping such an eye on ov, best bd days, etc.). I'm happy with that :)

My son is eight months now, and he seems to be not fitting his pram now. It's a gorgeous Mothercare Spin. We've got it in the upright position, but he sort of slouches a bit. We tightened up the harnesses and made the bottom bit flatter, more like how a Maclaren is, but his back is still...

I keep wondering when to TTC again. I am utterly shattered, BUT I am 35 in Sept, so really do have to get a move on. Sort of. What kind of gap between babies is good?

Probably being a total loon here, but I really think my uterus is still big and hasn't gone down. There's a firmer bit on my torso where the bump was. Probably just imagining it. I can't wait for my check-up...they do it at 8 weeks round here not 6 - annoying...

Eliot is 6 weeks old today (:yay:) and he's on 5oz every 4 hours in the day. He finishes every bottle now and seems hungry afterwards. We gave him an extra oz in between feeds and he had that, too. The side of the formula box says at 2 months he can have 6oz. Can I up it now?

I'm really struggling at the moment with fear for my baby. I worry all the time that he's ok and that we're doing things the right way eg feeding, winding, holding, keeping at the right temperature. I feel like he's going to come a cropper because we've done something wrong unknowingly. It's all...

I don't want to over wash Eliot and wash his oils away or give him dry skin. He gets a bath every other day. What does everyone else do?

Hello! Is it safe to let baby sleep with the dummy in?

Does anyone have the TT bottle warmer? I find the instructions mental. If you're using the bigger bottle, do you put it in for longer even though it might still just contain 4oz? Also - I make up all my water (cooled boiled water) and store it in the fridge (HV suggested that) then I take...

What's the best type of mattress for a cot? Have to get one asap because Eliot already too big for Moses!! xx

At the hospital, they had me using cotton wool and warm water (sometimes with olive oil in it). This is great, but sometimes a real faff, which stresses Eliot out (I have no problem with the faff in terms of me, but in terms of stressing out Eliot!) and leads to longer changing times with him...

My poor little boy is only eating 2-2.5 oz each feed now - really worried :( I've the health visitor tomorrow, so I will ask her. Do appetites dip from time to time?

MW suggested 5-10ml of water in between Eliot's feeds. We've done a bottle of cooled boiled water and stored it at the back of the fridge. It's currently out to get it back to room temp but should I be warming it in the bottle warmer? I think it'd come out way too hot cos it's such a small...

Eliot is a very sleepy baby and keeping him to an every 4 hours feeding schedule is hard because he wont eat much when asleep. Should we just let him sleep past the 4 hours & let him let us know when he's hungry? So tricky to know what to do!

I'm really worried my little boy cries so angrily. Could he have colic? He gets wind badly. It's just the red-faced, angry crying he does. So worrying. Anyone else have advice?

Hi I used to get called for a medical when I claimed ESA. I got a letter through the other day to say come in for a medical. Just called to say that I'm not claiming ESA, and the horrible receptionist said that it was for the MA I'm claiming (she was horrible because I wanted to delay it...

We've started Eliot on the number 1 teat because that's what the kit we bought had. I heard that vari-flow was better, so we bought them. What is the difference? Can he use the 1s later or should we get more varis? xx

Should've posted this here! Another Q! MW agreed today that Eliot should be bottlefed. We agreed that I would continue to express the colostrum, and also just keep up with the fennel tea/oats, etc. to see if that helped. Lovely husband got me my fenugreek tablets today from Holland & Barratt -...

When did you first bathe your newborn? And how often?
