mine didnt sleep at night AT ALL for first 10/12 weeks. then she had started sleeping from 11pm to 6am until the last 3 nights! Im doing nothing different but at 22weeks she has decided to change her routine.

I am intending on starting to alter my eating habits as i gradually wean her off. got hv calling monday to make appt to discuss weaning onto solids and weaning off breast milk to formula and from there i can make my decision. at the minute she sleeps 11pm -6am without waking but wants feeding...

I am aiming to do a similar thing but weaning on to solids possibly will overlap with weaning on to formula. im goin try dropping a feed every 2/3 days. know i cant rush it incase i have problems with lo taking to bottle/formula and milk drying up. going to miss the closeness though

Can anyone offer some advice. i have bf exclusively for 22 weeks and now want to change to formula feeding. i am unsure how i do this. can i just try replacing one bf per day wit bottle of formula? do i increase this every couple of days so my production reduces and baby gets used to it? Only...

lo is 18wks old & hasnt pooped now for 5 days. She has never had a regular pattern but not gone this long before. is this normal in a bf baby? she strains occasionally but doesnt seem as grouchy as she has got in the past if she hasnt gone for a couple of days. any advice, should i do anything...

Since posting the initial thread there has been no change. If anything it has got worse. My mum is now asking my dad to move out as he hasn't turned his back on me like she wanted. My sister is trying to be diplomatic but it is upsetting her as she cannot get my mum to understand what she is...
