I had my older girls at 17 and 20 so I remember what it was like to be a young mother and have others look down at you, doubt your abilities etc. Now as an 'older' mother at 35 I get a lot more respect and that makes me feel sad for my younger self of the past iykwim? I am glad I had them...

Just to add, using hot water to make up the formula sterilises the powder :)

Oooh hadnt thought of mixing cold and hot, thats a good idea! Just so you can see how amny different methods there are though, this is what I do: Boil fresh water While thats boiling, rinse out 4 bottles and caps/teats etc and put in a sink of hot soapy water to soak for 10 minutes. Take...

I dont have any sdvice because J never did this, but I'm sure once he can roll both ways and have more control over his position he'll stop waking up upset. Jess does toss and turn a lot in her sleep now she has the rolling down pat, but she doesnt really wake up and doesnt need help :)

CHOCOLATE BUTTONS????????????? :shock::shakehead: Yummy :whistle: Jess had half a chocolate digestive today :whistle: Glad i'm not the only one, though not glad because it shouldn't be like that. I hate labels too. Unfortunately i'm not the type to keep my mouth shut and although I would...

It helps me to understand why babies do this - as I know how draining it can be! It usually coincides with either a growth spurt or the learning of a new skill, and I think its their way of keeping you close while they go through some scary changes. The 'big' clingy phases coincide with...

I'm not entirely sure what TW means tbh - as BLW is the traditional method and only changed when docs decided babies needed to be started sooner than the 'traditional' 6 months to 1 year. I'm guessing you mean starting baby on purees, then moving to something a little lumpier, always with a...

Welcome to Welsh weather lol! Hope your enjoying the rest of your week x

Cheap shower curtain did the trick for us! x

Something nice for mama? Maybe a good book or a relaxing bath set? Chocolate! x

:hugs: Yes i've been told that by wearing my baby and co-sleeping I am spoiling her. You cant spoil a baby with love and closeness, I think they are just jealous! :roll:

(((hugs))) It may be a growth spurt or teething, or maybe he can smell mama's milk and is just indulging? I dont think it would be the nappies, we use them and and have found them to be just as good if not better than pampers etc :) My advise would be to give it a couple more nights and see...

Online its fab - loads of like minded parents!

Still dont really have one :whistle: She has dinner bath and bed at the same time every night trying to get her into a routine, and is asleep by 7:30 most nights - but then will usually be wide awake half an hour later! I decided from the offset I wasnt going to get stressed about bed time so I...

We have a highchair at the table with the best intentions, but we like to watch TV while we eat (I know bad habit, but its the only time we do watch it lol) so she sits in ehr walker which has a food tray bit. Probably not the best and I keep saying we should sit at the table but nevermind! I...
