    Tantrums

    Oh no, you mustn't think it is something you have done. I am sure it is just a phase, am sure everyone says that, I know they do to me but normally these things do pass and we just have to grit our teeth and get through it.

    For those who were unable to breastfeed...

    Aww I wish this thread had been around when Daniel was born. I was absolutely gutted not to breastfeed and felt that everyone judged me to be a bad mother when I was out and pulled out a bottle rather than my boob. I expressed for three months to try and give him the best start but that nearly...

    Tantrums

    Well, last night we bathed him and then he went to bed a little later than usual and he slept really well. Only woke up once and my husband went in to him rather than me and he settled quickly. He is a lot better today than yesterday but is steal quite screachy which really grates on me after...

    Tantrums

    Daniel has just turned 14 months and he is being a total nightmare, I just can't cope with him at the moment. He used to sleep so beautifully from 7:00 - 7:00 and now he is waking up several times in the night and just screaming. He won't stop screaming unless I am in the room with him which...

    Officially a SAHM - anyone else?

    I am officially a SAHM. At the beginning I felt that other women felt I was letting the side down by not going back to work but now I have had many other mothers saying that they think I am amazing as it is much harder being at home with baby full-time than going back to work. I have to agree...

    pram wheel pumps?

    I have a bugaboo gecko and I just took one of the wheels into halfords and they suggested a foot pump (for bikes) which works brilliantly.

    Stay at home Mums

    Thanks so much for all your replies. At the moment I take him to swimming lessons, gymboree and monkey music and I think that is quite tiring for him so don't do much else in those days. I just feel guilty when I have quiet days at home and feel I should be taking him here there and...

    Stay at home Mums

    I am a full-time stay at home Mum with a little boy who is nearly 1 year. I was just wondering what others in a similar situation do all day with your LO's? I was quite happy with how I was doing until i met 'competetive Mum' who seems to fill up her entire week with activities. Thanks.

    Mothercare Microwave Bottle Steriliser

    My Mum has this one for us, it took 200ml of water and 8mins in the microwave. You also had to put some kitchen towel underneath the steraliser so that it didn't melt the bottom. Hope this helps.

    Bottle feeding 3 month old question.

    I used to offer it to him every three hours, even if he didn't have it all he then had the option if he wanted it. The others are right though, your baby will let you know if they want more.

    8 month old sleeping too much

    I am a bit worried as I read that an 8 month old baby should only be sleeping 14 hours a day but Daniel seems to be sleeping much more. He naps from about 9:00 - 10:30, then from 12:30 - 1:30 and then again from 3:30 - 4:30, sometimes more. We put him down at about 6:30 and he sleeps right...

    PJs for in hospital

    I would definitely suggest some pj's but make sure they are dark - I thought I was being clever buying some pale blue and white ones that I could use afterwards - I was wrong! Just get some cheap nasty ones that are dark and you won't have issues throwing away or burning after! Mothercare do...

    whats the "best" baby formula????

    I bottlefed because the hospital recommended it as my milk didn't come through. They suggested either SMA or cow & gate. I have ended up using SMA and haven't had any problems however others have said that it is quite rich for them so can cause a bit of possetting. Hope this helps a little bit.

    Question for pregnant ladies and mummies :)

    I know I am probably telling you what you already know but remember to wee first thing in the morning when your hormone levels are higher in your urine cos I didn't and it showed up negative for ages.

    Cot bedding.. how much??? please help!

    We had three sheets for the moses basket. Babies create so much washing anyway that you end up putting in loads of washes so you should always have a spare one. For the cot we only have two but I try and make sure I only change it when I am putting on a white wash and that way there is always...

    rocking stand or not?

    We had a rocking one and it was brilliant. The motion calmed him down nicely. I worried that he would get too used to being rocked to sleep so just before we moved him to the big cot we stopped rocking him to sleep unless he was beside himself. The move wasn't such a big deal after that.

    Things to get done before baby is here!

    This might seem weird but start having a nap in the middle of the day so that you don't find it difficult/naughty to do so when the baby comes. Also do some things that you won't be able to do afterwards like going to the cinema or a posh restaurant. Oh and one last thing, don't stress...

    Moniters with sensor pads

    I have the tommee tippee one and it is fantastic. I didn't have it when he was in the moses basket as he slept next to me so I could check on him but when he moved into his own room I couldn't sleep and with the panic monitor I actually sleep properly! Worth every penny in my view.
