I also only started 1 week before my LO was 6months. She hadnt shown any particular signs that she needed solids earlier and seemed satisfied with her breast milk so I couldnt see any reason to start earlier.

My 6 and half month old girl has just moved up to 3 solid meals a day in the last week and I am also trying to move her over from BF to bottles, she would never take a bottle when she was younger but has recently decided they are OK after all1.. so far I have replaced one feed a day at...

My LO is 6 and a half months, we started solids about 3 weeks ago and I am still BF. She was doing fine and has been eating root veg and sweetcorn. fruit and some baby rice and porridge. However over the last few days her poo has got harder and less frequent and today she has just passed 3 tiny...

I felt a bit uncomfortable the first few times I BF in public but you do get used to it! - having said that I do choose somewhere I feel most at ease - I often try to find a corner of a cafe where I can hold baby nearest the wall and I do notice who is seated nearby! ..if it's a few tables of...

My 5month old is breastfed and has never accepted a bottle so I had decided to wait and go straight to a cup but now she doesnt seem any more keen on that idea! I have been trying with a tommy tippee with a sflip-up spout, its just a straigtforward cup - no valves or anything and I have also...

My 5 month old usually goes down with no crying after a feed about 7pm, she has another feed about 10.30 and then at about 2.30-3am, sometimes she wakes again about 4.30-5am and I feed her but often she doesnt wake for this and sleeps till about 6.30. She does normally wake a couple of other...

I never let my LO cry at that age either, I think dont worry for the first 3 months or so about that stuff, everyone told me I should keep putting Ava down and that I should not cuddle her for her sleeps etc, I ignored the advice and she slept in my arms alot, co-slept and always picked her up...

Just thought I would share this with everyone as there are lots of questions from mums trying to move babies into the cot but not always alot of answers. I know the same thing wont work for everyone but my LO, who is now just under 5 months was always a very difficult sleeper hence I ended up...

I dont think you are being cruel at all, however if you would like to try something else I have a couple of suggestions as I have had similar situation with my LO recently. 1, You could try a 'dreamlight lullaby ' projector, you may have seem them, they attach to the cot , some are remote...

That is exactly what I was doing until 2 days ago! we were co-sleeping but LO started waking every hour or sometimes more to latch on for a bit of comfort, decided in the end nothing for it but to move her to the cot so that is what I am working on - hence have never had to feed her sitting and...

I am currently 2 nights into a new 'sleep plan' with my LO, I breastfeed and usually feed her twice in the night, I have been advised to wind her after the feeds so that she is not waking because of discomfort but of course this wakes her up with a bit of a jolt after a nice sleepy feed and I...

Has anyone tried www.sleepnannies.co.uk? They are a service you pay for an experienced 'sleep nanny' to talk one to one about your LO sleep issues (or they will come to your house but that is way expensive) then they come up with a plan for you based on your individual circumstances and you...

Does everyone who co-sleeps have both them and their partner/hubby in the bed? I have been sleeping with my baby since a few days old (she is 3months now) my husband works away all week but has been sleeping in another room when he is back as I am scared he wont have the same instincts as me and...

My little angel is 3months and will only sleep either on me after breastfeeding or in her pram on the move, sometimes I can get her to sleep singing and rocking in my arms but that ones not a guarantee!!

Ava, is 3months old, I breastfeed and co-sleep with her She has never been an easy-sleeper, she was waking about 5-6 times a night and I recently decided to move her bedtime forward from 8 to 7pm as I felt I was enforcing the later time and she was too tired. I also introduced a routine...
