At 6 weeks Abi is on 4oz, 5 times a day. I was worried as i didn't think this was enough but she would let me know if she wanted more. Getting her weighed tomo so shall see how she is doing :-) x

I was in hospital for 5 days with abi and the midwives swaddled her in a blanket and then put another thin blanket over her and tucked it under the mattress as i was stuck in bed for the first 2 days. They then told me to tap her on the shoulder as if it were a heartbeat. It really did work as...

Have you got an old infacol bottle? We have gripe water in one and its much easier than a syringe xx

Abi does this, although for her its a game if she doesn't think she is gettin enough attention! OH has has often said he would tape it to her so she can't do it!! But one thing is once she is in a deep enough sleep she doesn't wake for it. Does she wake up even if she is in a deep sleep or is it...

Congratulations hun. He is lovely. Xx

We are getting on ok thanks. Abi had pretty bad colic but we seem to be under control now on the comfort milk :-) She has dropped a centile in her weight but hoping it will soon go up again. 6 week check on weds then the dreaded jabs soon. Hows Jessica doing? I think ill just wait until she does...

For the girls on here who have baby girls where did you get shoes from for your LO. Abi is still in first size clothes and ive had to buy her some more as most of our 0-3 just drowns her. I bought a few pairs of lovely pram shoes but in 0-3 and they fall off her. Even having an issue with the...

Awww fab hun. Well done both of you xx

Haha, i love it! I also call my MIL monster in law. I have the same, i do not want to spend time with the woman. She is constantly telling me I am doing things wrong with abi and interfering. Now i dont mind advise, but im a nurse and im not stupid at all. Always telling me how to feed...

Aw hun, really hope you are ok. Don't move out - you have a baby to look after and need a home. You will get help with a mortgage or towards rent if you sell so don't worry. Big hug xx

Oh hun ur not failing. We are having the same problem with abi, we tried the orange in water twice but it must have been too acidic as she just threw it up. Have u tried gripe water? What milk is she having? X

Haha, sat here laughing! U go girl :-) xx

I have this with my in-laws. I think they mean it as a compliment but its the way it comes out seems offensive. I used to get really upset about it as im a nurse and i know what im doing! I now let it go in one ear and out the other, its my baby and i know i am doing my best for abi. As we all...

I've kept a diary aswell because her weight today means she has dropped down on the centile chart and we have her 6 week check next week so expecting them to ask why. Thanks for the advice girls, i know i cant force feed her and will just do what she wants :-) xx

Hi girls, just wondering how many oz your LO's drink in a 24 hour period? I've just read that it should be around 2.5oz of milk per lb of body weight. I've weighed abi (on our digital bathroom scales - not sure how accurate it is but must be fairly close) It said abi was 10lb 3oz so she should...
