    Food poisoning and BFing

    This may be a stupid question, but is it safe to BF while suffering from food poisoning? E hasn't had a bf since this morning and now I have suddenly started vomitting, from what I can only guess is food poisoning.

    Not drinking water?

    Anyone else have issues with their little one not drinking water from a sippy cup? E will sip the water into her mouth but then instead of swallowing it, she will just open her mouth and let it dribble out. Any tips as to how to teach her to actually swallow it would be appreciated, especially...

    Rocking in the highchair.

    Please tell me that I'm not the only one who's LO rocks back and forth in their high chair when you are trying to feed them. E does it so hard at times that her whole high chair rocks.

    Tonight is the night.... Own room

    We have finally finished doing Erica's room up and have put her to bed in there for the first time ever for the night. She sleeps well in there for her day time naps and am hoping she will do the same at night. It feels like such a huge step for me and I feel guilty about leaving her all alone...

    Baby Tantrums

    E seems to have developed the ability to have a tantrum when ever she can't have something that she wants or when I take something away from her. I thought they didn't have them till they were older. Anyone have any tips on how to deal with them at such a young age?

    Time zone change & babies.

    We are taking E to Australia to meet her granddad in December. The whole trip is about 25hrs and it's a 9-10hr time difference (can't remember for that time of year). My issue is, how do we go about getting her to sleep the correct times and not the times that she would if she were still in the UK?

    Can't beleive how fast time has gone.

    E is 6 months today and I have to say, the past 6 months has gone so fast and she looks and acts so grown up. I hate to say it, but I can't really remember what she was like as a newborn now. Have marked her 6 month milestone in clay with prints of her hands and feet. Really wish I had done it...

    Just made to feel like a bad mum.

    I just went and got E weighed again as she had dropped how much she was putting on. So I went there to for reassurance that she was still gaining enough and to make sure I was doing right by her. Once there, the HV asked "if I took her to their weaning group" and I said "no, I was taking her to...

    Bathing with LO

    So not sure if this was a one off, but yesterday I had a bath with E for the first time ever. Straight after she was dressed she slept on her mat for nearly an hr and half, something which she has never done on how own. Any of you lovely ladies out there that bath with your little one, do you...

    Can't seem to do anything right.

    I know I can't really complain as most of the time, I have a good relationship with my husband, but sometimes it just seems like things get too much or his condition (aspergers) gets to him or something. But during those times I find it so difficult to cope. Today I just feel like crying my...

    Pampers Active Fit my bum (just another nappy rant)

    So we got some Pampers Active Fit nappies a couple of weeks ago as they were on special and thought they would be good. Boy was I wrong. When she had them on at nights, she leaked through the nappy, the towel that is in her crib as well as the fitted sheet and the mattress cover, every single...

    To wean or not to wean?

    I know there must be a million of these threads already, however I am still not sure what to do really. E is just over 14 weeks but is paying very close attention to all the food we eat, she will watch it from the moment it is her view till we have finished chewing it. She will sometimes make...

    Streaks of blood in poo

    A couple of times I have noticed a small streak of poo in LOs nappy. At first I honestly thought it was just a piece of pink string or something but I inspected it this morning and noticed it smeared. I wasn't too worried still but she did it for a second time today and there was a couple of...

    OH getting up me for worrying about LO

    Does anyone elses OH or any other family member or friend ever get up you for worrying about things that may be wrong with your babies? If so is there any way that you have been able to explain your concerns to them in a way that they understand? (if that makes sense) Right now I am worried...

    Feeling like a failure

    I have gone so far backwards and things are worse than when she was born and now I am sitting here on the verge of tears, wondering what I am doing wrong. E used to be able to self settle and was getting into a bedtime routine where she would have her last feed at round 8:30pm and be asleep by...

    Bleeding down below

    Has anyone ever experienced bleeding down below, that was not period related? I think I may be bleeding from where I had stitches, it's not painful at all and only happens occasionally and only shows on the toilet paper. I have spoken to a doctor but without even looking at me he said it was...

    Rash on one side of cheek

    Today I have noticed that E has a sort of rash on her cheek. It looks like she is blushing but its a little raised and has a very slight shine to it. It's also slightly hot to the touch. I have tried to look it up but all I can see is stuff about heat rash. I doubt it is that though as even...

    Erica's newly furnished room

    I have been meaning to do this for a while now, but kept getting distracted every time I started to post it. We bought her bedroom set from Kiddicare when it was on sale and I decorated it with stickers from Homebase. It arrived in 6 boxes and took from 10am till 8:30ish pm to put together and...

    Proud mummy - sleep related (pointless post)

    Pointless post but so very proud of her. After having a bad period with her waking every hour for a feed, I never thought I would see the day that she slept for near 12hrs. Last night she had a feed at 8:40pm and went straight to sleep and didn't wake until just after 8:20am for a feed. She...

    1st immunisation reactions

    How did your LO's react after having their immunisations done? Did they sleep, eat, cry more or did you see no change in their behaviour? I ask as E had her first today and if she isn't sleeping she is crying the place down because she wants to go back to sleep. I just need to know if this is...
