Im getting this! Last night a huge row because i said i would not leave my son with his dads sister. I said she does not have children of her own so no experience of newborns (he is 4 weeks tomorrow) Apparently i have issues! I said that Im happy to leave him with his nans , although i still...

Yep im a swaddler! Flynn has a swaddle blanket with velcro tabs however when he vomits all over it (every day) and its in the wash i swaddle with other blankets - he does not sleep soundly without being bound! x

can i join the grunter club! Flynn makes a sound like a tiny horse neighing- its quite funny! i think its wind and he is trying to fart his way out of his moses basket!

I spoke with him last night and explained that I could not even describe how or why i felt the way i did, but the thought of the baby being out the house threw me into panic as i would not be there to help control the risks etc. There are some trust issues between us as a couple (he left me at 7...

I love the wooden toys so much however i will say that in m experience the plastic ones are longer lasting and also cleanable (which i think is important) not only from snot, germs, poo and wee but also paint, crayon etc which kids tend to leave in their trail! x

I breastfeed and Flynn literally poos into ever nappy, so around 10-12 times per day. I was told b my HV that after a few months its not unusual for breastfed babies to stop pooing so much and to go once every couple of days. However i was given the impression that this was after a few months...

to be fair physically i feel amazing, no issues at all, sprang back into shape on day 3 post birth, no tears or grazes etc so i think i light workout will be just fine. i dont know how to get it through to him, i cant rightly explain it but all i know is there is no way he is going anywhere...

Well im not really getting any understanding at all - just 'what right do you have?' 'he is my baby too' etc. I have said that this is normal but feel like its almost a battle for ownership. He has the right hump and i feel like its going to develop into a huge argument. Nothing he says will...

im popping out to the gym, he wants to take him whilst i do that. to be fair we dont even know some of these people. i have already said any smokers present will not be allowed to hold the baby. He says that if its ok to be up at 4am with him then it should be ok for him to take him out. i just...

its not far, just to his sisters house to show the baby off to her inlaws (some of whom smoke!) i am really not comfortable with the baby being taken anywhere out the house without me yet, yes its prob neurotic and over anxious, he is kicking off saying that its ok for me to take the baby out...

Ladies, I wanted to put a message here to give you hope and faith that despite a loss, or recurrent loses hope is always there! It took me 12 years and 5 lost babies, millions of tears, anxiety, fear, panic, resigning myself to being childless , depression, a marriage breakdown etc but just...
