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...

Just curious- I *think* I may have started my periods again but it is soooo light that I'm not sure! I was really heavy before TTC my LO. Sorry if TMI but some insight into what other womens' periods were like may give me some clues!

My LO has had almost constant nappy rash for about 6 weeks. I have used loads of differnt creams and yet it is still a problem. I use washable nappies and am currently using fleece liners as I've heard that they are meant to reduce incidents of nappy rash- problem is, I'm beginning to suspect...

:( My LO has had one small spot of nappy rash for about a week that no amount of sudacrem seems to be able to sort out... I think it is because... :D her first peg poked through yesterday!!! :( but she's got a nasty cough and cold and is miserable and can't sleep, which means I feel...

I'm back at work now :( That means Kathryn is at nursery 3 days per week. The problem is that for some reason my little 6 month old is developing her independence a little early on in life and is refusing to take a bottle after only 1oz-3oz. This hasn't been a massive problem as she's...

Morning! Kathryn's been off colour for a few days- she's been very mucusy (sp?) and had a few disturbed nights earlier in the week as a result. Yesterday she seemed fine and slept well but has woken this am and after a short boobie feed did 3 massive sicks- one straight away and two others...

As some of you know I am adopting the baby led appraoch to weaning. I was pretty sure that Kathryn hadn't eaten anything but her nappies say different! Yesterday her nappies were soiled about 3 times (not the normal 1 a day) and the poo had funny black stringy things in it- If I didn't know...

Almost made it to 6 months exclusively breastfeeding- weaning at the weekend! :cheer:

Oh my god! Kathryn has been stung by a wasp! I put her down for a nap and she was settled and was drifting off when suddenly she started screaming. I went to her and she had a little dot of blood on her cheek- I thought she's scratched herself and it had hurt (which it normally doesn't seem...

Times do you get up each night to feed your LO and how old are they? I've asked because I don't want to feel on my own with the zombie-like feeds several times a night! Kathryn upped her game last night and woke up at 9pm, 12 midnight, 2:30am, 4:15am and 6:15 am. I need :sleep: !

Unfortunately I have to return to work in November :roll:. At present I exclusively bf and REALLY want to give only breast milk as I wean LO up to at least 1 year if I can. However if I miss a feed and need to express the most I can get off is about 4oz and this can take up to 30 mins...

Up until now I have been successfully breast feeding Kathryn. She has been gaining weight quite slowly but she has been gaining or maintaining each fortnight. However, this week she has begun waking up again at night a LOT. She had been sleeping from 7:30pm until 4:30am, feeding and then...

Kathryn had her second set of jabs yesterday and seemed to be running a temperature last night. Gave her Calpol and she slept a little worse than normal. Today she's been very whingy and has struggled to feed- refusing the breast after as little as 5 minutes and bringing up much more than she...

Feel stupid posting but I can't stop crying at the moment. :cry: I don't have a difficult baby. She eats well and sleeps well at night- just not during the day. She seems to spend a lot of the day crying whcih means as of yesterday and today, so do I. any suggestions? Already use a...

Kathryn is 8 weeks old today and is exclusively breast fed. At her weekly weigh in at clinic yesterday, her weight had stayed the same from the previous week. She had been gaining on average 7oz a week so naturally I was concerned. She does not seem unwell, although she has had trouble with...

Are you the resident booby-feeding expert? Your replies to any of the breast feeding posts really reassure me and show real knowledge and insight and understanding. I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU! :hug:

pelvic floor and stomach exercises to encourage stomach muscles back to their original pre pregnancy position- how many times a day should I do them and for how many weeks after birth?

I had visions of my labour being spent at home, surrounded by home comforts and taking the trip to the hospital at the last minute... However, high blood pressure put paid to my romantic notions as I had to be induced just after I went full term. This meant the entire labour and birth would...

Baby Kathryn arrived at 11:45pm on Friday 4th April weighing 6lb 13oz. Birth went really well- story will be posted when I have time xxx

Saw my consultant yesterday and my bp, whilst not as high as last week, is still too high for me, so I have been booked in to be induced tomorrow! :shock: Had an examination and dr said that FINALLY the baby was engaged and that I was 1cm dilated but the cervix was still posterior...
