Congratulations hun! When I was pregnant with my LO I had af cramps for the first couple weeks, but it's normal, just your uterus preparing and getting baby comfy, nothing to worry about :D

I'm out x

My first ever 2 week wait! Put me down for the 8th please :D

Do you still want this AR?

My LO got diagnosed with 'colic' even though she didn't do the knees thing or generally any other symptoms other than the crying and unhappiness. Tbh I think it's just a blanket term for 'somethings wrong and we're not sure what'.

I think this has probably happened to most of us, don't worry! My OH did it on LO's first nail cut, was awful. I now cut her nails when she's asleep, pull the skin that you would accidentally nick down a bit then put the cutters in to be sure it's not going to be pinched again. :hugs: for you...

I have a Chicco high chair that has a tray etc but my LO eats at the table with us so tray is off, chair is lowered - if I'd thought about this I would have got one of the basic little wooden or plastic ones (they would be SO much easier to clean too). Tbh all the options of seat position, arms...

Like you, when I was pregnant I didn't think I would co-sleep, but ended up doing it and it was a lifesaver, especially with bf. We stopped when LO started crawling as she would roll onto her face and try crawling even in her sleep so she went into her cot then. First two nights she took half...

My LO (also bf) dropped from between 25th-50th centiles to the 9th and though I was worried at the time, my HV is an old school bf, skin to skin, wear your baby type and she never once suggested formula top ups or anything and just said in her experience babies do fluctuate on the weight and...

Hi hun, just read through and wanted to add my support. My LO was just like yours at that age, I had her back and forth to paediatrician, but she just miraculously changed after weaning. She was just like a different baby, and finally things got much better. I don't know about the advice...

It was really late for me, not till around 24 weeks

I rang the dr the other day cos my LO has a cold with a really horrible cough, it was making her cry in the middle of coughing sessions - a dr rang me back and checked she was eating/drinking/not crying all the time and then described her cough to a t and said there's a lot of cases of...

I give my 12 month old weetabix, cheerios, rice krispies or porridge cereal-wise, and she's had one of those since 6 months x

i take them for my hayfever and was told it's fine to do so. No ill effects noticed in lo x

My LO would feed for around half an hour right up until she was weaned, and even then she would have long feeds until about 9-10 months. She's just turned 1 and is still feeding a few times a day but rarely takes longer than 15 minutes now. Some babies are much quicker than mine though!
