I'm sorry I won't be of much use as I HATE expressing milk, I had to do it every 3 hours day and night for a week when Sonny had bronchiolitis and couldn't breathe properly when feeding. I didn't manage to express evrey time as I was sleeping sometimes and other times I let Sonny have a feed...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mason-Pearson-P ... 524&sr=1-1 These are the best brushes in the world in my opinion! They are pricey but if you use something daily surely it's worth it? I always had one as a child and my O/h splashed out on one for me a few years ago, it's kind to the hair and will...

I can vouch for this claim! It worked for Ricky too, he slept better than he had for 3 weeks with no dry cough or sneezing disturbing him. Co-incidence or scientific fact :think: !

Finally posted mine today and paid extra to make sure it gets there by 1 p.m tomorrow. It was the first time I've been into town since Sonny's birth, and I feel so relieved that I'm all ready for Christmas now. :cheer:

My advice would be to start as you mean to go on (I didn't confront the issue with Liam's grandparents when he was small and it got out of control). As harsh as it sounds it's even worth upsetting them slightly to ensure they get the message, as you said it is up to YOU what you feed your child...

I love red hair but it is a difficult colour to maintain. I used to pre-lighten mine then choose the brightest red to put over it. Every time you wash it the red fades slightly and the roots do look scruffy when they start peeping through and it's a fiddly job to touch them up. Think about it...

I'll be trying this tonight then... Ricky's had a dry cough for nearly 3 weeks (think the central heatingis to blame) he doesn't necessarily wake up every night but the coughing disturbs us all. Been putting vicks on his chest-never heard of putting it on feet til now! :)

Congratulations, seems like everything is going well now, you must be so proud of yourself and Teddy! :hug:

Mine was PERSONALLY delivered this a.m! Apologies to the kind person who dropped it off for my O/H's confused reaction, he was half asleep! I'm so excited, can't wait to open the presents, I did look at the baby stuff tho, and I love it, esp the cardigan-I'm well into hand knitted baby...

Think I may be the one for you as I had a similar experience when I had Liam over 9 years ago and it still is much more of a painful memory than the labour as you said. If I hadn't had an 8 year gap between babies I probably wouldn't have considered trying to breastfeed again, but it felt like...

http://kidsfashion.about.com/od/hotstyl ... imgirl.htm seems to be a wide range here.

I'm available again as the lady I was helping is no longer feeding, text/calls only tho this time, as l/o is likely to be attatched to me most of time! :D

It doesn't roll off the tongue nicely at all.... but we've gone for Sonny Robert (dad's name Robert) which we will shorten to Bob probably, meaning we'll have Richard Philip after Rob's uncle and my dad, shortened to Ricky-Pip and Sonny-Bob. I hate choosing names!

Sonny ____________ Dempsey. We are at a loss! O/H thinks a long 4 syllable name sounds best (like Nathaniel but not Nathaniel :lol: ) ALL suggestions most welcome-we are registering his birth Wed 17th at 2.30 so no pressure :wink:

http://usera.ImageCave.com/babysonnysmu ... 95baby.jpg http://usera.ImageCave.com/babysonnysmu ... G_1697.JPG Was typing away on here Wednesday 3rd Dec when waters went-thought I'd wet myself initially. Phoned labour ward and was told to come in, I imagined I'd have baby that day, but was just...
