I have been um-ing and ah-ing about whether or not I should write this post – but as somebody a lot wiser than me (E. Burke) has quite rightly pointed out that “all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”, I have decided to open my big mouth after all... Not that I...

I though Samira's sleeping was bad when she woke up ever 1-2 hours, which is her usual pattern - but the last two nights she literally woke up every 45 minutes (apart from a 2 hour stretch this morning, when I had to get up anyway to get my older 2 ready for school). Please tell me this is yet...

Today is my last day of exclusively breastfeeding Samira, as we are starting with solids tomorrow. I am excited about weaning and looking forward to how she'll react etc., but at the same time I am feeling a bit sad - after all, this is my last baby, and this time round everything that ends ends...

We'll start weaning next weekend, when Samira will be 6 months old. :) Thing is, I've pretty much forgotten how I went about this with my older 2 - such a long time ago! - and whilst I can find plenty of recipes on the internet, I can't find any information on how quickly you increase the...

And if so, are you happy with it? Am thinking of buying this one, but am slightly worried it may be a bit flimsy? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Red-Kite-Feed-Highchair-Little/dp/B006R51LNM/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1340286515&sr=8-17

Just wondering how your little man is now? Have you been able to get him seen by the doctor?

Sorry, this is a moany thread (again), but I feel so down and exhausted... This is now my third week of having a really sore throat, terrible earache, and worst of all the most horrendous headaches. Oh, and high fevers on and off - today being one of the treasured fever-free days in between...

I've had a horrendously sore head, ear and throat for a week now (initally with fever as well, although this is now gone), and the antibiotics the gp prescribed appear to do nothing but to give me and Samira an icky tummy. He's also prescribed Diclofenac, since Paracetamol and Codeine don't even...

I'm kind of running out of ideas of things to do with Samira and wanted to pick all your brains on that matter! Samira is getting bored of her playmat, her cuddly toys and her rattles, and there are only so many hours a day I am willing to sing all the lullabies and nursery rhymes in my...

Just saw an advert for this in our local newspaper, it's a gym class for babies and I thought it might be quite good fun for Samira. Not sure if this exists in other places as well, but if so, has anyone done it, and did you like it?

There I was, determined not to moan about sleep deprivation... But after 5 months of never sleeping more than a total of 5 hours max per night, and that with frequent interruptions, I am feeling somewhat zombified... And over the past few weeks it's been more like 3 - 4 hours per night... I know...

Samira has finally figured out how to turn onto her tummy! :) So proud!

Unfortunately, my little girl has been diagnosed with impetigo in the nappy area. :-( Got some antibiotic cream and happy to say it already looks a lot better, but one question I forgot to ask at the docs: Can I give her a bath whilst she has this, or will this make it spread everywhere? Anybody...

Sorry I keep going on and on about my OH, on here, but he's really getting on my t..... today (as most days atm, I have to say...). Her works from home (wish he wouldn't!), and a woman just came round from the village hall asking him to go there and sort something out at 6pm (he's on the village...

Just checked the baby albums of my older two children, and it turns out Leila managed to roll over at almost exactly 3 months old, and Jakob at 4 months plus 3 days. Which means that Samira has only got another 2 days before she'll officially be labelled a slow coach. Come on, little monkey, you...

I'm beginning to get a little bit worried because I keep reading on here about your babies loving their toys, and Samira doesn't really show much interest in anything. She'll lie on her babygym quite happily and she does reach out for the stuff hanging down at her, but put her on a blanket with...

Went for the second time today, and Samira hated it just as much as she did last week. I thought they were supposed to find this wonderful?! Anybody else's baby not following the textbook??

Changing Samira's nappy just now, I commented to my husband how much chunkier her legs are than those of my older two were at the same age (lovely folds! :)), and he replied in all seriousness: "Yes, she takes more after you!" Such a charmer! :roll:

Sorry to be so thick, but how do you ladies upload your photos? Mine are all much too big (by several MB) to be uploadable on here. Do you all use mobile phone pictures? Only they always come out really dark on my phone for some reason...

This morning Samira again woke up with a great big scratch all down her cheek, even though I only just cut her nails 2 days ago. This keeps happening, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong? I cut them regularly with baby scissors as short as they will go, and they don't feel scratchy to me when...
