I waited till 6 months and following traditional route. I don't find it any more difficult I just cook Isaac's food at the same time as ours and usually I'm hanging about at some point so might as well puree it then. It's going well. The reason I chose traditional over BLW is cos I wanted to...

I came off the pill (cerezette) 3 weeks ago, and Isaac has now been fully bottlefed for nearly 2 weeks now. 2 days ago I got incredibly light spotting, which has continued. It's so light that some days I question whether it's actually my period, but I know it is...I think! I was hormonal on...

I have nothing else to add to the excellent advice given to you above. I just wanted to say that I had "problems" with Isaac not gaining weight and blah blah blah. I just found a supportive HV who was supportive of 100% breastfeeding and stuck to her clinic. The thing was, Isaac was thriving...

You don't need to pump because it's flushed out in your system by itself if that makes sense. It doesn't stay in your breastmilk, but it peaks in your breastmilk about 2 and a half hours after you drink it, that's what I understood from it anyway. Pumping and dumping doesn't speed up it's...

Sorry completely off topic but becky - your pics in your sig are just the cutest!!! I just did a big awwwwww at it! I'm waiting until 6 months to wean Isaac cos he's just not interested in food. But we're not going the blw route, I want to see more evidence and research before I went that...

Not sure if I'm allowed to link to another website? Sorry if not! But the website address is www.hypnobirthing.com if you want to find a class or someone who teaches it near you then go to this page http://www.hypnobirthing.com/england.htm This is what my friend used hth

I've just weaned Isaac onto bottles. I was concerned at first cos one feed he'd take 5 ozs then the next only 2ozs. I don't have any advice regarding weaning onto bottles when she's being weaned onto solids, as Isaac hasn't started weaning yet. I have found though that his feeds have evened...

I'm going to start weaning at 6 months, not long left and I'm sooooooo excited! :cheer: Isaac's not showing any particular interest in food and turns his nose up at the spoon I give him to play with :lol:

It's so true that being worried and anxious will make the pain worse. It's so true, I look back at my labour experience and I can pinpoint when the pain significantly increased was when I got a new midwife after a change in shift who I couldn't understand (I'm deaf) and she made no effort to...

:wave: gatecrashing here, just wondered if you're worried about it, why not try some form of relaxation? Hypnobirthing cd or something like that? My friend was really worried about it all and she got a hypnobirthing cd, ended up being so relaxed she didn't think about an epidural once. She...

Errrr, yes I may just be mad!! I say inactively ttc, is there such a thing?! I say it to mean, if I get pregnant great, if I don't then that's ok too...but that's only ok for a little while! Star, I got Isaac onto bottles really well because he was always having an EBM bottle at night for his...

Oh!! Oh!! I just thought of another reason!! I can go out soon and buy the most sexy underwired bras ever!!! :cheer:

:cheer: Had the last booby feed today, it was so sad, had no let down and hardly any milk there. I let Isaac feed for just 5 mins each side and then it was 5ozs of bottle which he gulped down in 10 mins flat :lol: I had to wean Isaac to bottle for a whole load of reasons which I don't really...

first pessary inserted about 10am, second pessary 5pm which started off labour proper straightaway. got to 10 cm dilated at 4:30am, born by emergency section at 9:30am. err, think after 5 hours fully dilated they realised he wasn't going to come out :lol: (I can laugh about it now) I found...

I can relate to the laziness bit! I've only just weaned LO to the bottle (fully bottlefed from weds hopefully :cheer: ) due to a whole host of reasons...I should have done it weeks ago but the reason I didn't - I'm such a lazy so and so!! But I do honestly feel so much better but that's an...

My HV told me how to do it, I have the info somewhere but in all this mess that is my house I'm not sure where I put it! You have to ask the hospital directly but you need to be specific how you do it. It might be worth asking your health visitor as they know where to find the info...

We did that, gave Isaac a bottle of EBM at about 10/10:30pm ish. We did it from the day I came home from hospital and worked really well for us. Even if I hadn't read the GF book we'd still have done it, it just seemed to make sense to me :D I think the important thing is (imho) is to be...

I expressed early on, that was because quite early on, Isaac was feeding every 3 hours in the day and every 4 hours at night. He settled very very quickly into a routine of feeding. It was rather quick I think, and I started expressing when he was a week old. Actually in fact I think I...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ok...Never had them, don't think i ever will :lol:

Just another suggestion...why not look into getting your dress made for you? I did and I got my dress made for £700 by a professional wedding dress maker. It was a gorgeous dress. I was ill and lost lots of weight before the wedding and the dress was altered and finished 3 days before...
