Fenugreek worked well for me - I would recommend it. Being a herbal tablet the same rigorous drug trials a prescribed medication goes through doesn't apply so to cover themselves the manufacturers will add cautions to the label. Fenugreek ( herb used in Indian cooking) has Bern around for years...

My little girl is now 8 months and she's been great at weaning generally but I found she didn't take as quickly to savoury. I added fruit to savoury dishes and it worked brilliantly combined with sweeter veg. For example she loved butternut squash, parsnip and pear or chicken apple and sweet...

Just wanted a quick poll on when people's periods returned. my daughter is 6 and a half months - I'm exclusively BFing but started weaning 4 weeks ago and now only feed her 4-5 times a day. Not that I'm complaining but there's no sign of my periods yet. Just wondered when other people's had returned

Have you looked in H&M? I've got 3 tops from there- 2 short& 1 long sleeved and they didn't cost the earth at all. Not all H&M do maternity clothes so you have to check. To be honest after I felt more comfortable with feeding discreetly in public I didn't use them as much. I also bought a couple...

Yeah, that's what we did for 2-3 weeks before moving our LO at night. It helped her get used to it. I'm convinced Moses baskets aren't that comfortable and I'm sure the rustle of them wakes them up!

I just wondered if anyone else felt as sentimental as I did when my little girl spent her 1st night in her own room age 5 1/2 months?! She slept fine but I felt as tho my arm was missing & couldn't sleep properly! We moved her as my husbands alarm was waking her otherwise would have kept her in...

Thanks very much- you're right, I switched her to Avent number 2 teats (slow flow for 1 month plus) and she takes them so much better! Also I've warmed the milk more- I know people say you don't need too but breastfed babies are used to it at 37 degrees! I feel happier too as my husband gives...

Hi, my little girl is 6 weeks now and breastfeeding well thankfully! I have been expressing for the last 2-3 weeks and trying to give her a top up feed at 10pm. She takes really well to the Tommee Tipee Closer to Nature bottles,but finishes 120mls too quickly. I do try and break her off after...
