How are all you new mummies doing?

[Jojo84]

They dnt heve to be kept cold, just keep them out of sunlight.

 

[Jojo84]

Me and hubby had the "when to try again" conversation tonight lol were either goung to start in january but if we dint concueve by march stop trying until july to avoid xmas babies and birthdays too close tigether. Go immagine, we could be trying fir another in 6 months! Yikes!

 

[T84]

Yeah normally keep them in the cupboard here, but let's face it, in Scotland we don't get the heat like Tenerife! god that's scary!! I had a toughish time ttc so as much as I want another, I can't think about it without the dread creeping in!!

 

[Pumpkin9]

Jojo, that exactly what I have in mind lol

 

[Jojo84]

We started trying on May 11th 2013 (I wad in karst day if ovulation) and I found out I was pregnant on 27th June. So happened quick furst time

 

[Mummybexee]

When we decided to TTC we had sex once that month and I caught ! Hahaa - it was a mixture of illness, me being away for work that made it once around my OV - worked though

Jen could you take a very small cool bag - I have one from sainburys that would fit say 4/5 premade bottles in - and ask hotel to fill it with ice? Yes the ice will melt but that could keep them cool

Don't forget to offer S some cool boiled water between feeds aswell which I guess could be kept in a bottle on cool bag aswell?

We're trying TTC at Christmas. Got pregnant straight away last time so fingers crossed were lucky this time. Eeek, could have 2 under 2!!.

 

[T84]

Yeah cool bag world be good when out and about then just keep the rest in the back of a cupboard or something away from sunlight. It's gonna be more expensive but a lot less hassle than powder I think!

 

[T84]

Lucky ladies! It's a tough time getting they bfn's, I just can't face it. Hopefully I'll be like you guys x

 

[hayes]

Was guna try for number 2 end of the yr but with me hopefully starting my business then I've decided its best to wait till end of the next yr if I can wait that long!! Although like Jen I don't think u cud face it yet, was heartbreaking tcc fir 2yrs all the bfn n the tests operation etc just makes me scared it will happen again.

[Natalilly1288]

I will be scared too I was lucky enough to get pg really easy it was just staying pg at least I now no I can have a baby but was so heart breaking xxxx

 

[StaceyRainbow]

Hey! My phone was crap yesterday vodafone must have been down much to my annoyance!

Kaedin really sorry to hear about your OH treating you like that maybe one day he will wake up and smell the coffee, but you and Hayley deserve better, you might even find it easier without him been there at least you won't feel as though your looking after Hayley and stressing about him not pulling his weight.

I wasn't on here when ttc I think it would have been stressful! I only ever took one test and that was because I was late and was pregnant, it took me 7 months to fall pregnant I didn't know any tips or little tricks to try and fall! And at the beginning I didn't even know you had to have sex around ovulation and thought you could do it whenever haha thick as fook! Chris was the one that told me we pretty much dtd every day (where have them days gone!!!) but I don't think that's the
right way of ttc either, I'd love a summer baby just cos I was born in the summer and love having my birthday in the summer

 

[StaceyRainbow]

We are thinking of ttc around May next year after my friends wedding in Cyprus

 

[Maud]

I am so not ready to think about having another one!

 

[hayes]

Omg just realised Harry is 6 months old today!! Where has that time gone! Feels like just yesterday he was a tiny newborn!!

[T84]

Been reading up a lot about weaning and every site I have been on says to wait 6 months. I have a book that says what you can give them after 17 weeks. In an absolutely non cheeky way, what made you ladies decide to do it early and give them what you give them? It's just so hard to know what advice to go by and I don't want to do her any harm. I'm thinking right now at almost 17 weeks she is still satisfied with milk but I don't know how much longer for, she's a big lass!

 

[Toria111]

Jen, if she's happy on milk just stick with it.

I started at 4 months because that's what I've done with my older two (now 8 and almost 6), and that's what the guidelines were when they got to weaning age and they are both fine. I must admit I'm not getting fully in to it with Emma though as we go on holiday next week and it's such a hassle. Just give her porridge with a bit of fruit or vegetables in at dinner time. It makes her sleep so much better.

 

[hayes]

With Harry he just seemed ready kept really watching us eat, n cud sit up okish but mainly wen I gave him a spoon he shoved it straight in!! Built it up slowly tho at first was just baby rice once a day n then built up to porridge n then snacks of veggies. He loves food so much just like his daddy!!! Risks n carrot crisps seem to b a favourite at the mo.

At the end of the day tho just do wat u Think is right for you hun, if she's still cool on milk leave it a bit longer.

[Jojo84]

I started because Luke can only take 7oz volume without being sick but he always seems dissatisfied with his bottle - I spoke to hv about it and she said it was fine to start as his heD control was great and because if the volume thing. Also because I wanted to build up Luke's textures more gradually.

She just tilde no citrus fruit, sugar, salt, honey, gluten, dairy before 6 months

My kitchen is a bomb site!! I'm swapping the shipboard a around and... Whoa lol
