My baby has had a lump on her side, under her arm, since she was very young. I noticed it when she was about six weeks old, took her to the Dr, who referred her to the hospital. She has since seen a paediatrician, who sent her for a number of scans, then referred me to the surgical paediatrician...

I used the tens machine for all of 20 minutes and found it useless - it was a distraction if nothing else but not a useful one! Once the contractions started getting really sore I demanded pain relief and was initially offerred gas and air, which I wasn't keen on to start off with. Shortly...

HI there What at coincidence!! I have a little girl called Isla as well who had terrible reflux. It was a nightmare, everyone (including doctors and the health visitor) kept telling me that she had colic which was really common and advised me to give her infacol and also prescribed gaviscon...

I had gas and air, diamorphine and an epidural. The contractions were manageable for long enought but when I came out of the bath when I was 7cm dialated and became really intense and I needed something so got taken to the labour suite at that point, was given gas and air (which I didnt like to...

I just got a swim nappy from mothercare and thats all my baby wears when she goes swimming. Its a little pink one from 3-6 months and thats all she needs. She hasn't had an accident yet.

My baby was back to back until half way through labour then turned. It was my first labour and I totally panicked when I found out the position of little Isla but she turned before I had to push. I honestly didn't find the whole experience bad at all, infact I have really fond memories of...

I just had a baby girl who I called Isla. I love the name but up here in the good old Highlands of Scotland it's becomming very popular!

I don't like Matilda, reminds me of a duck or chicken or some sort of animal. Like the rest of them tho.

Isla has slept straight through for 10 hours since she was 4 weeks old. She is now 10 weeks and is still in her routine. She tends to have two feeds in quick sucession when she wakens though which I suppose is her making up for lost time. Just let your baby sleep, s/he will waken when ready!

I worked full time as a social worker before having my little one, which was a unexpected surprise. I have never known anything other than uni then into work in a stressful job. Now that I have had my little one and have been off work since mid january I feel i'm a different person. I am...

I had an epidural and I have to say it was the best thing ever! Lying there totally dignified, feeling no pain. When it got to the stage of pushing I still was able to push but couldnt feel the contractions so had to be told when to push. An hour later out popped Isla and it just felt as...

Hi there My wee one is ten weeks. For the first four weeks I used SMA gold and she was fine with it. She then broke out in a rash around her mouth which seemed to get worse during and after a feed so I changed her milk to Farleys to see if it made any difference (it didn't but luckily has...

Hi there Thought I would add my tuppensworth to this thread. I had a beautiful girl who is now almost 11 weeks old. She was 7lb 6 when she was born which is about average I think. She is now 11lbs and is still too small for a lot of 0-3 month clothes. I knew I was having a little girl...

Hi there I am a first time mum with a 6 week old baby who is already in her nursery. I had intended having her in our room for the first few months but decided after three weeks to try her in her cot and there has been no looking back since then. Although she is quite an unsettled baby...
