Dairy products contain both calcium (A) and protein (B) so some are classed as both A&B on a green day. There's a...

    Slimming world for the absolute novice!

    Are you a vegetarian? I noticed you have no meat on your menu. From your menu, it looks like you're on a green day. In which case you need more healthy extras! On green and red days you can have 1 or 2 healthy A choices and 2 B choices. So from your menu you could include snacks or meat or nuts...

    Baby in room and intimacy?!

    What to go on to?

    Hi Becky! If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to stop breastfeeding at 6 months? When you decide to start weaning you can carry on breastfeeding while slowly introducing pureed fruits and veg. You can also pump if you prefer to feed from a bottle. I'm planning on breastfeeding for one...

    Weekly spend on baby things?

    £150 a month sounds reasonable. I have no idea how much I spend as I'm a MAJOR bulk buyer, I have enough nappies and wipes to last 6 months!! I took advantage of the boots offer.
