Im really not enjoying being a mum. I was never planning on having them in the first place having plans with my horses particularly my homebred sport horse who will be 2yrs next week ( plan was to back him next summer then winter resting then get going in spring and hunt/ compete at end of 4...

Thanks, I dont have anything other than my horse, I had to have his mum put to sleep last year because of being pregnant I wasnt allowed to ride her and she had degenerative bone diesase that was only treatable with drugs and work as well, she didnt respond to treatment as she wasnt moving...

I know exactly how you feel, I cant go back to work as child care costs more than what I was earning and there is no one else to look after baby. My husband works nights so sleeps during the day, (he doesnt even get up in time to spend any time with our daughter before he goes to work ) and...

With the comfort milk you have to make it with boiling water to dissolve the starch particles in it then cool it down as well as using a larger holed teat. The reason it wont come out and blocks the end with jelly/ wall paper paste type goo is because the powder hasnt dissolved properley which...

No sorry, i even tried making 60mls up before hand and adding 60 - 90mls boiling water but it still wasnt hot enough and they said that its got to be boiling for it to work. I should have used my brain and asked on here if anyone was using cow and gate comfort and wanted some as I have just...

My baby is 10wks old and I have only just moved her up into 0-3mths out of newborn as she was just begining to run out of stretch room but 0-3mths are still too big for her.

Probably a stupid question but are you sure its colic? The reason I ask is because I have had a nightmare of a time since meghan was a week old, she screamed and cried constantly for 24hrs a day, was sick and screamed in pain ( you could see the pain in her face ) didnt sleep at all and you...

My baby is now 10wks old and still wont drink more than 3 to 4oz every 3 to 4 hrly feeds, some nights she will go 6hrs between feeds and still not drink a full bottle.

With the cow and gate comfort you have to make it with boiled water so that the starch particles in it dissolve properly and then cool it down under the tap. I was having problems with this and rang the care line and that was how they told me it had to be made, the reason hes sickly is because...

I was 58kg pre preg, weighed 55kg at the end and now weigh less than 45kg and have been that weight for the last 6 weeks, meghan is 9 weeks old and was a c section. I also formula feed and have done since she was born. Saying that I was mucking my horses out again myself at 3 wks post section...

I just want to say thanks for all the good luck wishes that you guys sent me.:thanks: I have finally gotten round to being able to get on the computer. I will put my story ( what I can remember of it ) and pictures on a new thread.

Im still wide awake and am now getting all the bad worries about something going wrong and I dont make it and end up coming home in a wooden box. Ive turned the flood light on ( shines from the house wall onto the horses field ) and sneaked outside in my pj's coat and wellies and been to see my...

No, he has to work tonight but they are letting him leave at 5am ( 1hr earlier than normal ) so he can get home and showered and changed and take a clean uniform with him as we have to leave the house no later than 6.45am. He also has to work tomorrow night unless it all goes tits up and my...
