    Nappies letting me down

    You could try a washable nappy (like Little Lambs) which has a wrap over it to provide an extra barrier? Or if you don;t like the idea of washable nappies you could just put a wrap over the top of the disposable nappy?

    Who did actually wait until 6 months to start weaning?

    We waited...and if it hadn't been for the BLW advice I got on this forum, we'd probably STILL be waiting! My LO didn't like anything from a spoon until she was getting on for 8 months old- she was very happy to have a go at eating broccoli florets and bread sticks though!

    Were your babies early or late???

    I was induced at T+2 but by my calculations I was at least a week late by that point. If my LMP was anything to go by I was already 14 days over as I was induced.

    Ditching the dummy diary

    As the Baby Whisperer says- if you cave in and give the dummy again you have made your poor baby cry for x amount of time for no reason whatsoever. Well done you for sticking to your plan and seeing it through- I'm certainly watching with interest as I want to ditch the dummy at 1 year(ish)...

    Lightheaded/Dizziness

    You may have passed this stage already but early on dizziness can be caused by a drop in blood pressure as your veins relax to allow for the extra blood volume your body will be building up over the first few weeks of pregnancy. One of my earliest pregnancy symptoms was dizziness to the point...

    Conjunctivitis

    Thanks for your replies xxx I have been bathing her eyes with boiled water but not as often as every 2 hours. I've decided to take her back to the docs in the morning- especially if it will clear up in 24 hours or so if she gets drops prescribed. Her eyes are stinging her, poor love.

    How tall is your 13/14 month old?

    At her 8 month check my LO was 67cm (9th centile). She's grown a bit since then but hasn't outgrown any of the clothes she was in back then. I think she's getting tall until I line her up next to other babies her age and she's half a head shorter! She'll have a spurt later on I reckon as I'm...

    Conjunctivitis

    Anyone have any idea how long conjunctivitis lasts? My poor little girl has conjunctivitis- she started with it on sunday so I took her to the docs on Monday (sorry for sounding like a Craig David song!) The doc didn't think drops were necessary as I'd said that she seemed to be improviing...

    Somebody help!!

    :think: I'm going to try to offer a bit of help because you have just described EXACTLY what my LO did at about the same age. I also had the luxury of a baby who slept from 6:30pm until 4am and then had a good feed, waking to start the day at about 6:30am-7am. She would feed every 2 hours for...

    back carry with a wrap sling

    wow Kalia- you certainly know a thing or two about wrap slings! It's like reading a foreign language- I'll be honest! I'm going to have a look at some of the ones you've suggested- feel the need for a woven wrap- tried using the ruck-sack type carrier that my SIL gave us (hand me down) the...

    could she be right?

    Sure! And at the end of the day- you know if it's happening due to her responding to a stimulus rather than her just grimacing due to gas!
