    weaning onto a bottle

    Drake didn't like the SMA formula so we tried him on Hipp and he will take that no problem, apart from he doesn't like feeding during the day from me or the bottle - little monkey. I've introduced one formula feed so far (3 ish one) and am hoping to just have him on first in the morning and...

    Feeling unsure

    Try fenugreek and really carby food like oats. Also drink tones of water and pop the pump on after a feed and leave it on for 10-15 mins even if nothing is coming out. Should boost your supply. I tend to pump, then put baby on that boob as he can get more out than the spump can. Your supply...

    Feeling unsure

    Hey. Don't worry its not Just you. I'te been breastfeeding Drake for almost 6 months now and its really hard going being the only one who can feed him. I've often thought of formula but I know I would be disappointed in myself if I just gave up. EVeryone says its fine to stop bodies can really...

    Struggling with the syringe

    I would use an infacol pipette, aim for the back down the side of the cheeks. If you use a spoon try squeezinp his cheeks together and leaving the spoon in his mouth until your sure its been swallowed but the pipette should0 be the easiest.

    Freddie and Sophie

    We would be in serious trouble if we lost Sophie! It's the only teething toy that he doesn't lose interest in! Well worth the money

    Fingers in mouth

    Lol Drake did this to us in the middle of the night once, I've never moved so fast! So scary hearing your lo gagging on something in a pitch black room where you had been asleep the moment before! Was rather annoyed when I realised what he was gagging on.

    Possibly piles??

    It may not be, my tear was really close to the anus and now occasionally if I do a poo thats too big (:P) then I get some bright red blood. I asked at the doctors and they said its just a little tear. I'm guessing its where the scar tissue is it doesn't stretch as much as it should. Hope its...

    Bedtime routines

    I dont bath as it wakes him up but we do a massage, into night clothes, book,boobie,bed. I think anything can be part of the0routine as long as you're consistant, Drake goes down about 7.30-8, has a dream effect 10.30-11, and then Will wake up once or twice between then and 7.30am. Not...

    17 weeks

    I generally let him have as much boob as he wants before giving him his solids, so its like extra food. He was dropping his morning feed anyway (prob still full up from waking up multipul times in the night!) I think at 6 months I'll swap it around and give him solids before milk or give a...

    17 weeks

    We started Drake at 19 or 20 weeks as he was ready.just a little bit of baby rice at 11ish and kept him on just that for a week or two. Then introduced other things like fruit and veg. We've just started him on breakfasts too and planning on introducing dinner at 6 months when he can fat...

    Randomly waking

    They do go through a growth sput at about her age. I would leave it and if she doesn't go back to normal soon then think about giving her a little bit of solid food. Obviously they say wait till 6 months but some babies are ready before then. If you can ccope with the night waking however and...
