I'm trying to plan my birthday party but not sure what to do. I could hire a room with a DJ which could be expensive! As it will be in August though I thought an outdoor party/bbq may be nice? There will be children there too though it will be in the evening. Does anyone have any ideas to make...

Mmm, maybe i should be cutting out the feeds then?...

Just wondering how many times you ladies breast feed your LOs at over a year old? Fin is 15 months now and feeds about 4 times still during the day, that's wake up, lunch, late afternoon and bed. I don't know if he is having the right amount but does have other dairy products too x

When did your LO's start using a spoon/fork independently? Fin likes bashing them about at the mo but knows to put them to his mouth lol!

Hi, you sound exactly like me. I have digestive problems and have a low fat diet. I eat roughly 1800 a day and still bfing a 14 mth old! I also was tested for iron etc due to tiredness, but the results said I am fine. I can relate to you completely. I am thinking of taking a supplement as I am...

I have the problem that Fin thinks it is funny when I shout out in pain! He thinks I'm playing. I say no and take him off but he thinks it's a game....I'm really stuck.

Well Fin ain't settling having gone to bed an hour earlier. He is stood up in his cot shouting right now lol! Bit different from usual. Anybody else having the same problem?

Does anybody know about gluten free bread ingredients? I have prepared some dough but followed a usual bread recipe with no fats or eggs. Will the mix be too dry? I'mthinking I may need to add something in, am i too late? Please help experienced mummies lol :D

It is my first time and it's gluten free as I'm beginning my journey on a gluten free diet today! I've prepared a pumpkin and poppy seed big round loaf thingy or whatever they are called lol! Wish me luck.

Mmm..I would love a makeover! Wouldn't it be great if we could all have one along with a new wardrobe and loads of pampering?! Lol I wish. I know I'm no help handbagqueen sorry :roll:

Thanks so much sherlock, have found this info very useful. Will def be looking at those books x

Wow sherlock, thanks for the info and taking the time to reply. It is strange as I sometimes feel ok with eating stodgy wheat products like bread but once my tummy starts up I have to avoid them. From what I gather it can be expensive on a diet like this, and I guess I would need to make my...

Does anybody here suffer from this? I have had problems with my tummy for a while and it seems i feel a lot worse for eating gluten foods, particularly bread products. I feel bloated, acidy and sick like I am blocked up, and it just flares up out of nowhere. Is it easy to diagnose a wheat...

Your body produces more milk through the early hours which is why night feeding at night is important. So many mums wish the LO's would sleep through but night feeds are v.important. This is why expressing in the morn is usually easier. As Leckershell said your body works on a supply and...

Made a rhubarb crumble yesterday which I just finished off....yum yum lol!
