DD has been prescribed, among other things, oilatum to be used in the bath. When we have taken her prescriptions out of the bag we have found that the oilatum is not in a box and there is no seal under the cap - is this right? It doesn't seem quite full but maybe they just don't fill the...

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/12/prweb1733834.htm I was trying to find out if there was any good reason to put DD on follow on milk and I found this. I think we'll avoid the follow on milk now!

I haven't expressed today or yesterday. My boobs are sore but it's a bit of a relief not to have to express to be honest :oops: I expressed all of DD's feeds (over a litre a day!) until she was 5 months old, then expressed 5 out of her 6 feeds for another month, then dropped to only...

I have a fixed rate mortgage with Northern Rock which ends in December at which point I will be at the mercy of their standard variable rate. There is a petition for this rate to fall in line with the Bank of England as it is now a state owned bank and I would love if this happened. I would be...

For the last week we have started giving DD 1 bottle of formula a day so that I can express a little less. We are giving her the Heinz Nurture because it had more LCPs than the other formulas but her nappies stink!!!!!! Breastfed nappies don't stink. There is a slight smell to them but it's...

I have bought a ridiculous amount of carriers, especially wraps and I need to sell some that I don't use so that I can have space in the wardrobe once more :rotfl: Bebina wrap in blue and green 4.2m. £35 Sorry for the dodgy wrapping! I just measured this using a tape measure in my hand and...

This may be a long shot but I wondered if anyone had a replacement valve for the avent breast pump that they didn't want. :pray: The pump comes with a spare but because I express every feed and have done so for 22 weeks I've used both and the current one needs replaced but I can't find...

Just to make OH's day, I'd like to dress DD as a ninja for hallowe'en. Oddly, I can't find a baby ninja costume :rotfl: but if we dressed her in black and tied a band round her head (for 20 seconds for photos before she decides to eat it :D ) that would do! So can anyone recommend somewhere...

Amazon has cheap tots bots nappies :D Some are not marked as being reduced but are still half price. The day sets with 15 nappies, 4 wraps and a pack of liners are £78! - They're £165 on the Tots Bots website! If you're not sure about cloth you could buy these and if you don't like them you...

There are a lot of things I've learned as a mum that I wish I knew before, just so I was prepared. I think of them from time to time but never remember to tell you guys. So here's a few things you may like to know: Babies eat for a really long time! Breast fed babies seem to take about an...

DD has a huge eyelash in her eye and I don't know what to do. Should I leave it? Should I try to put my finger on it so it comes out? Should I clean her eye with breastmilk covered cotton wool? What should I do? Please help.

So, DD has been exclusively on expressed breast milk for 19 weeks now. I hate expressing and would love to stop. I was aiming it get to 6 weeks. Then 16. Now I feel I should get to 26. I'd love to not express but I'd feel guilty giving formula :( I am perfectly capable of providing the...

They put plasters on after her immunisations and it pulled at her skin and hurt her last time I took them off. Any hints for this time?

Depending on where you live you may not get the new breastfeeding weight charts but instead will get the combined formula and breastfeeding one. The WHO breastfeeding weight and height charts are free to download and print from their website: http://www.who.int/childgrowth/standards/en/ So if...

DD has to have blood tests tomorrow. I'm really nervous :( Since her immunisations last week she has screamed whenever she's been with a stranger - my uncle, our friends, not people we don't know at all. She was never like this before. It's really weird as I was holding her for them so you'd...

Do they only work for teething or do they help other things too? I was wondering if they would be any good after immunisations as she was not well after the first lot :(

and it stung my ass :cry: :rotfl:

Please excuse these ramblings, I just need to vent. As a foetus Gabrielle had swollen kidneys (renal pelvis dilation). The day after she was born I couldn't go to the ultrasound with her as I was on crutches and it was at the other side of the hospital. OH wasn't in yet and they don't give...

Gabrielle had problems latching on and lost a pound in 3 days. To get her weight up we fed her expressed breast milk (and topped up with formula in the first couple of days but only breastmilk in the last 4 weeks). I decided I was in too much pain to cope with the additional pain of...

I know everything says that you will know when you're in labour so maybe I'm not. But I think I am :D I've been having contractions all evening, they're just not nearly as painful as I expected. Then again, once they are so painful you can't speak properly and stuff is when you're...
