I suppose I should be grateful for going this long really.... Oliver turned 1year last week - and my body obviously decided enough is enough. Last night I had a bit of stomach cramp & then today I got my first period back. :( :( :(

My LO is just coming up to a year old. He's been exclusively breastfed & is currently on 2 per day (morning & before bed). The thing is he doesn't like to drink ANY milk from his cup. He'll have a couple of sips, but won't glug it back like he does his water. I was thinking about dropping his...

Oliver has had a bad stomach & abnormal poo's for over a month now. He started off with a stomach bug including diahorea and vomiting (which I also caught & several memebers of my family). This cleared up - but his stomach is still not right. Every few soiled nappies is really slimy & smelly &...

Oliver has excema. He's always itching his belly & head. It's not so bad that he has scabs or anything yet - but just wondered if anyone had any tips on what works for making it better. I use Oiltum in his bath & Diprobase cream on his body. But is there anything else that'll help? i.e. I...

Oliver had a course of antibiotics last week to clear up a chesty cold.... but a few days into the medicine he developed a rash on his face, with other patches on his body. After 3 days his eyes were getting puffy too. I've taken him back to Dr's and been given a bunch of creams, oil for his...

Oliver has not been eating well for the last 2 weeks. He used to wolf down his purees, but now will literally take 1 spoonful to taste, then if it's not his courgette/potato & cheese sauce one, he won't take anymore. I've tried upping his finger foods - giving loads of variety but he's not...

Oliver has over the past few days refused to eat anything but his yoghurt. he clamps his mouth shut & wont accept the spoon of food at all whether it be porridge, veg puree, fruit puree. I've tried going back to basics - i.e. just one flavor rather than a mixture but not made a difference. He...

Hi there, Well - my LO is exclusively breastfed, but I'm going back to work at beginning of November, so need to get him onto a cup for his daytime feeds by then. I've just started to introduce a cup (sippy cup with spout) for his 3pm milk feed, but he's getting majorly upset when I try & get...

My LO has just started to wean - he's had some purees (apple, sweet potato & parsnip) and baby rice so far. But - when do you introduce finger foods. Don't wanna go to fast for him, but also don't wanna get to a point where he won't try lumpier stuff and the info I've looked up contradicts...

Seems like the treasure basket post got quite a good reaction from people, so thought it'd be good to put a couple of other suggestions for you all too.... Edible paint.... (in case you are worried about LO putting hands in mouth). Use instant custard with a dash of food colour. Or different...

At mo I'm still just breastfeeding my LO.... tried baby rice for a few days last week, but he wasn't that interested. At the moment his milk feeds are at approx: 7.30am 11.30am 3.00pm 7.00pm So my question is - when I introduce his meals do I change his milk feeds a bit so they...

Ok - so I've just started offering my LO a little bit of baby rice the last few days at lunch time... He opens his mouth to accept the spoon,and doesn't seem concerned with consistency etc. but keeps pushuing his tongue out, so most of it ends up down his chin. :wall: How long before he...

Wasn't too sure where to post this .... But - I've just bought a Sun Sense Pop-up Tent from E-bay which doesn't have any instructions with it. I've been looking for answers via the internet - but does anyone here have one who could explain how to fold the blasted thing back down and into it's...

My LO is showing all the signs of teething.... drooling big style, a bit grizzly and red cheeks. Is there any particular medicines that you found worked better than others? I bought some homeopathiic powder that you put on his tongue twice a day yesterday - but am not convinced it's...

Just a query for when I start to wean LO at 6 months.... I plan to start expressing for a couple of feeds a day, so that when I go back to work I can still give him breastmilk.... but where can I find guidelines of how much approx he will take per feed based on his age/weight? Any good...

OK - My LO is nearly 5 months and exclusively breasfed. Until 2 weeks ago he was waking for 2 feeds in the night. Over the past 2 weeks this has gradually reduced to 1 feed in the night.... And the last 2 nights he's slept thru for the first time. Good for LO - but boobs feel like their...

How early is it safe to start weaning a preme baby? My LO is 18 weeks - but only 14weeks corrected - he's been draining my breasts for the last few days and been a bit miserable as if still hungry. I wanted to wait til 6 months - but obviously if he's not happy I can't very well starve the...

He's only 18weeks, but for the last 3-4days has gone from only taking 1 boob per feed to basically draining both almost everytime & still being miserable as if hungry once he's drained me!!! He's drooling a lot - so may just be miserable due to teething I guess. Also - he was 6 weeks...

My LO is a breastfed babe. He currently only poos once every 24hrs - but that 1 time is REALLY liquidy. It's still the same colour as when he does a normal poo (mustardy TMI?!) :oops: But is it normal for it to be liquid over the course of several days? :think:

My LO is putting on weight like no ones business and is now on the 96th centile of his weight chart. When he feeds he's a total guzzler and initially sucks franatically, then may have a rest still latched on before somemore regular sucking. He stays on for anywhere between 10-30mins before...
