JoAnn, where are you? I seem to remember you're west somewhere? Only asking as my mum's in Lenzie and I could well be leaving from there depending on what dates we decide..

On his due date. Labour started three days before that though.

Perth sounds good for me, my footie team play there so drive up quite a lot. Looking forward to it!! Oh, and if anyone would like a lift from the lothians I'm happy to help!

James has one eye bigger than the other but it was much more noticeable when he was smaller. I seem to remember from psychology lectures at uni that we all have but that you only really notice it when you see someone reversed - like in a mirror!

I'm up for that. In penicuik and I drive so no probs there. I don't work Monday or Friday and weekends are normally fine too. ooh exciting!

Because James is very small, I wasn't sure about switching to cows milk but my OH convinced me that he was eating plenty. We combined formula and cows milk, eg 50/50 in a bottle for a couple of days, but giving cow's milk in his cup for meals, then went on to cows milk by itself. He seemed to...

We took James when he was a month old to a wedding. I was terrified he'd start screaming but he slept through the whole service and pretty much all of the reception too. It was a ceilidh as well so pretty loud! like someone else said, we sat at the back of the church so I could take him out...

Sounds to me like he might be teething, especially if he's biting the teat. If you're upping his dairy intake that should help. Have you started giving him milk in a cup? Might be an idea if he's off his bottle.

James has understood no for a while, but doesn't always listen. I just make sure my tone when I use no is very different to my normal one. I say it at the same time as shaking my head and try really hard not to smile when I say it! Often, he'll stop but sometimes he'll just turn round and smile...

Happy Birthday! I work 3 days a week but on my days off, James' routine is something like this: 6.30 - 7 - Up and bottle of milk in bed with us, usually 6 or 7 oz 8.00 - brekkie, usually porridge and toast 9.30 - 10.30 - nap 10.30 - snack, usually fruit, something from Organix and some milk in...

Really thinking of you, it's so not easy! I would agree with all the advice about feeding on demand, you can't get a little person to take milk if they don't want to! I would also echo Valentine's advice about Karla Napier's clinic at the ERI, it was so good for me and James (but the room's...

It's great - was really useful for James' reflux and meant that I didn't have to go to the GP every time I needed more gaviscon for him! May be just a scottish thing though Sparky, just noticed you're in "sunny" midlothian too (think it's going to be summer before the snow melts!!)

Totally agree with DSL re wakeful babies! when I read how much sleep average babies have when they are little I was stunned cos James had nothing like it! His naps settled down when he did (he was colicky until about 14 weeks) and he seemed much happier and more relaxed after that. Would agree...

James did it when he was very new too - he was what I would describe as "jittery". Docs said it might be low blood sugar (I get like that too) as he'd had a hard time when I was having him. It passed quite quickly and might not be the same as what your LO has. I would just keep an eye on it -...

had very similar pains for about the first 16 weeks - I remember ending up on the floor in a ball at one point. I was in agony but it was just ligaments like you say! Congrats!

I hate nana too but James loves it. That and tuna mayo - except he does give off a whiff of fish afterwards which isn't attractive!

Would be interested in hearing replies to this - I was offered the debrief after my traumatic birth experience, but really wasn't ready to go through it again (was doing that far too much in my head anyway!). Thinking about TTC in about a year and I think it would help me to go through things so...

I went back to work when James was 10 months and initially we used a nursery, it didn't work out but that wouldn't put me off nurseries in general and I don't think it's too young. Lots of the babies were about the same age as James. He now goes to a childminder which is great. My mum and I have...

We use them as James is a bit sensitive (!) and they're great. Sometimes make the washing machine smell a bit cos there's not perfume in them but we still do the occasional wash with detergent (OH's smelly shirts!) which solves that problem!

I would agree that near home is great. I travel home on the bus, pop a wash or something in, then get to the childminder to get James. We did try a nursery halfway between work and home and it was a disaster - trying to get a tired baby home on a rush hour bus is no fun at all!
