i'd just like to add on the going out thing,i found,that when i was out with jamie he seemed to sleep,for example if i was going to asda,or taking the kids to school,he would sleep in his pram,then as soon as we got home he'd wake up for a feed.maybe try taking her for a little stroll,say half...

i totally agree with you budge.

i found that headrin is brilliant and it is safe for pregnant and nursing women. not available on prescription though,but it did the trick for me and my children on numerou occasions. head lice and nits are a regular part of my family, i have 2 girls who have long thick curly hair,and it is so...

we have been using this method for the past 3 nights, and so far it's worked great. jamie is still being bresatfed,so usually the only way to get him to sleep is with a "mummy cuddle" or rocking him in his pram.and then pnce i moved him he woke up,which was not good. i didn't really mind this at...

jamie is almost 7 months now, and he has both breast & bottle,and also solids. i posted a few days ago about trying to stop breastfeeding,especially as he uses me as a comforter sometimes.but after some consideration i have decided to carry on with the breast for a little longer. he has between...

i smoke, and i breastfeed. just wondering if anyone else does and what others think. obviously alot (if not all) will think i am selfish and mean to my baby.i know that myself, but it's one of those things. i asked my health visitor when jamie was born if i should stop breastfeeding because i...

what a great thing to do! i woild love to do that,but (hides in shame) i am a smoking breastfeeding mum :oops: , i don't fit the criteria. but what a way to help someone.it's such a nice thing to do.

i never sterilized anything for any of all my 4 children.i feel that it's good to get them used to everyday germs from a young age,to help their immune system,but that's just my opinion. it's a bit different this time, because jamie was exclusivley breastfed up to him being around 3 months old...

hello,i haven't posted for absolutley ages, due to house move and a new baby(now 6 months!! :shock: ) and having 4 kids altogether it's been a bit hectic!!!anyway , jamie is now 6 months old,and doing really well on solids. my problem is i feel it's time to stop breastfeeding him now, but i am...

haha, you are welcome to contribute to this post, that's what i wanted!! well, i decided to give it a go with the mixed feeding, and it is going great. i give jamie aptamil(blue box) around 5pm then again around 10-11pm and breast feed him the rest of the time. he is sleeping better and seems...

i realise this, but that's fine with me, i am glad i got this far with breastfeeding,i didn't think i'd do so long,my other 3 were bottlefed after about 2 weeks.but i feel that i'd like to combine to take some of the pressure off me, i basically do everything for all 4 of my children, my hubby...

hi, what age did you start combining,and how did she take to it? thanks.x

does anyone here combine feeding? i have been considering giving jamie formula during the day(probably around 2 feeds would be what he'd need) and keeping his night and early morning feeds as breast.i have been expressing,but to be honest,i am struggling to find time to do it. i was just...

he seems to bw alot calmer now, i think i will put it down to him getting his first tooth so early.i din't even consider he could be teething from 6/7 weeks old!!! :shock:
