Yes, Yes and Yes. He was a sicky baby, particularly when I breast fed him- sometimes projected down my back and onto the headboard of the bed! He does often sound like he is choking and when I run over he is fine. His sick smelt like sick, if that makes sense. Which I thought baby sick was not...

ooops, it did not tell me that it had posted successfully, hence there are 3 posts! sorry.

My little one is 15 weeks and I reluctantly gave up breastfeeding at 13 weeks as he was just in agony crying and contorting his little body. I changed my diet again and again but nothing seemed to stop it. When I changed to the bottle he seemed instantly calmer. However, he seemed to not get...

My little one sleeps for about 3 hours during the day. Usually for about a hour mid morning then a couple of hours at lunchtime.. though she sometimes decides to skip the lunchtime nap after about 45 mins so has a 'power nap' in the afternoon to catch up. I bath her at 5.30 then put her to bed...

I am getting very paranoid.. I have the same metallic taste as when I found out I was pregnant but I have just finished breastfeeding my 5 and a half month old... AND I am on the pill! I know that the metallic taste is the build up of that pregnancy chemical but isn't it also a build up of...

Just browsing and spotted this post. I have had a similar problem but it has happened whilst trying to get her onto bottles from breast feeding. Our solution was faster teats, it's worth a try. Basically, I think they get bored of sucking and sucking and not getting much milk. Hungry little...

Thank you so much for posts. I have a feeling that it will be emotional. I spoke to the HV today and she agrees that Isabella can be weaned, as she is growing just above average. Ref moving to bottles, she also suggested a gradual reduction but its always more comforting to hear it from...

I have to go back to work in June and really need to get Isabella (5 months now) onto bottles. I have already introduced a bottle at the 10pm feed, which Daddy can finally give- she refused him at first. I don't express in place of this and my boobs seem to have managed this but I am...

peel and chop a butternut squash! yeah right! Hubby and me spent about 15 mins cursing whilst trying to peel one... Very hard and totally not necessary. I totally agree with miracle babe- ie. chop in half and roast. In fact you can just put the whole thing in foil and into the oven for...

Well, after my nightmare episiotomy and painful sex things seem to be better. It is five months on and we can have sex again! Yippee! It can be uncomfortable to start with but was all helped along by our practice nurse- she gave me some 'Instilagel' which is basically a lubricant with local...

Thanks for the replies, I will give it a go with the vibrator perhaps.. No-one ever tells you about your sex life being put on hold do they! My hubby did suggest the vibrator and is not that desperate if it is going to cause me pain.. Besides, I am sure that if i squeeze his privates...

:cry: Had Episiotomy 11 weeks ago and also tore inside. My hubby has high sex drive and although he is trying not to pester he is! We have tried sex about 4 times now, the first time he could not even penetrate due to the pain. Since then we managed it once but after taking ages to just...

Just read your post.. I have been having a problem with lower ab pain. it was worse between weeks 12- 18 when i had to be off work because i was doubled over in agony. doc thought it was constipation so i am now on fruit smoothies each day with lineseed oil in- that works by the way in case...

Thanks so much for all your replies.. Unfortunately I have tried everything going for constipation and despite being able to empty my bowels the pain seems to be getting worse. I left messages on my midwife's answerphone, mob and work. Not back on til monday. Phoned the DR this afternoon and...

I have probably spent more time reading all your posts but would appreciate any advice you ladies can offer.. I appreciate that we can suffer with constipation during pregnancy but I am starting to get a bit worried now.. At about 11 weeks i woke in the night with horrendus ab pains...
