Hi Just after some advice really. Finn poos quite a lot, probably 6 a day at least. The poos are always runny and yellow (like mustard). Finn is breast fed and I top up his 2 night feeds with 2oz formula per feed. I'm just wondering if anyone can advise if this is normal to still have such...

Hi all, Finn has got quite a few (at least 10 on each cheek) little red spots on his cheeks. Since he's been born he's always had the odd little spot but now it's like he's broken out over night. Is this normal? I sometimes use a baby wipe to clean his face (pampers sensituve) as he is a...

Hello ladies, My little boy has always been a little bit noisy when he's having a poo, but recently he has been really grunting and straining, and it seems like he's doing it all day but its worse at night. Last night neither of us got much sleep because of it. Hes not crying, bit screws up...

Hi ladies I am currently combination feeding my son, who is nearly 3 weeks old. I breast feed him all day from around 6/7 am, then I give him a bottle of expressed milk at around 10pm. His 2 night feeds are formula. I am having huge trouble settling him during the day, and it seems that...

Hi ladies, I have posted my birth story and some photos in the birth announcements sections of anyone fancies a look (story is a bit boring as he was cesarean but there are some cute pics!) x x

Well I thought it was about time to write my birth story. Had quite a difficult time, and ended up staying in hospital for 8 days over the course of it, so haven't really had a chance until now to sit down and write it. It started with a routine midwife appointment when I was 37+5 on 30th May...

Hi ladies I gave birth to our little boy 6 days ago, and have had huge trouble getting him to latch on to the breast. This has meant that I have been having to express milk for every feed and feed him by bottle. Up until today, I have been able to do this with no difficulty, and have...

Just thought id post to say thanks for all your good wishes and congratulations. I am loving every minute of being a mummy and baby Finn is absolutely gorgeous, even if I do say so myself! Will post some pictures and my birth story later on (when i get a spare second!) but just thought I'd...

*Had a text from Tabbi at 7.15 last night to say she is being induced today due to her having low amniotic fluid, so I will be updating for her today as and when! *Text at 13.31 to say that the pessary has been inserted. She is having a walk around and will be checked on in 6 hours. *Text...

Had my 38 week mw app this afternoon and she has said that baby is still not starting to ve engaged - not even a little bit. I'm so dissapointed, she said its unusual for a 1st baby not to be engaged at this point, which I assume means I'm gonna go overdue, and the thought of that makes me want...

....to start packing my hospital bag! And boy is it looking full! I was never intending on having a seperate bag for baby but have had to as there's so much! I've put baby's things in the changing bag for now. Can anyone add anything to my list that I should have packed? I have so far 2 x...

Hi ladies Just wondering if anyone could tell me, once the baby's head is engaged, how long it usually is before you go into labour? At my 36 week appointment, the head was in place, but not at all engaged, so I am feeling a little bit disheartened as I'm now worried that this means I will...

So, today is the day, I'm officially full term! It's a weird feeling to think that baby could come at any point (although I know that he/she has no intention of coming early!) I have decided (at this point) that I'm not going to bother trying to do anything to bring on labour (although if...

....have any of you found that you dribble more in your sleep since being pregnant? It's really getting on my nerves, last night I woke up and I had dribbled all down my face, up my face it was in my fringe (don't ask me how) and down my neck! It;s so gross! I keep waking up with a wet...

Please tell me if I it's just me being unreasonable but this has really stressed me out! Last night my 2 sisters in law came round armed with looooads of baby stuff that they no longer need. Bearing in mind, one of them has already given us a lot of stuff, which we are extremely grateful...

Argh, just wanted to moan really! I have grown out of my maternity trousers AND maternity jeans (both pairs) and it's so annoying because there's no point buying any now since I only have 6 weeks left. I think I'm more annoyed as I thought it would be warm enough by now not to need jeans...

Hi So we have had a couple of girls names picked out for a while now - we like Poppy and Isla. We have been really struggling for boys names, and it seemed like every name I suggested, hubby didn't like. The other week I suggested Finlay, which I really like, but hubby said that he didn't...

Ok so I haven't started maternity leave yet, I'm not due to leave work for another 2 and a half weeks. Today I had a day's holiday, but didn't actually have any plans, just kind of thought I would have a mooch around, do a bit of shopping, housework etc. By about 1pm I was so bored of my...

Hi Does anyone here use the Mamas and Papas Primo Viaggio car seat? We bought it as part of the travel system with our Sola, which has great reviews, however the car seat doesn't have good reviews. Unfortunately we only checked the reviews for the buggy. A lot of the reviews have said...

Hi So I have been getting what I think are Braxton Hicks for a couple of weeks now. But they feel really weird, as they start off with a tight feeling low down in my chest, and then I realise that my tummy is really hard, which is when i realise that the tightening must be BH. Does anyone...
