Hi, I have a 2 1/2 yr old girl and an 8mnth old girl. I know how frustrating and tiring it can be trying to get them both to bed in order to get some rest ("Me time"). My eldest has decided on and...

I found the "Tommee Tippee" cups with handles at the sides and pop-up spout to be very good. I spent quite a bit of money on cups when I first started buying them, as my daughter would chew on the...

Hi ZacsMum. I've posted before somewhere regarding feeding issues. My daughter (now 9 months) has never really ever taken the "correct" amount of formula (she's been on formula since 4 1/2 weeks)....

I agree that some people just shouldn't be working in the child health area. I had an awful experience with the midwives when I was in hospital. Some of them where so abrupt, weren't supportive a...

I have read somewhere that this is "one of those things" that babies tend to do (along with grunting, coughing etc). If you are concerned, I'd see someone, but they would probably tell you the sam...

Hi, a really good book is "Breast, bottle, bowl". For bubs between 6-9 months, they still require 600-700ml of milk (if formula fed). You can start offering solids first at this age. But, as all...

My 7 month old daughter has been doing the same thing (very slow drinking) since she was about 4 months old. She has a tendency to stop at 100ml each time. I usually change her nappy then, and tr...

Hi, I have found the playpen to be a great investment. I pop my little one in it generally every day for about 1/2 an hour. She has some toys in there (different ones to the ones she has elsewher...

Hi, My daughter is now 6 months old. She already has her first set of teeth (they came through at 5 months), and now it seems her top teeth are about to appear. She is also refusing her bottle, a...

Hi, My little one started getting teething symptoms from about 3 months (she's now 6 months old) - drooling, chewing, going off feeds, being clingy and sooky etc. She also started night-waking a l...

Hi, We travelled to Canada in December with our 4 1/2 month old. I was worried at first, but more so out of concern for the other passengers on the plane - because it is such a long flight!! A fe...

My daughter is now 5 1/2 months old, and I too had a c-section. My scar is still red, and at one stage was quite raised, which is odd for me, because I don't keloid scar. Some parts of it are sti...

I went back to work when my daughter was 9 weeks old, she's now 5 months old. The only reason I had to go back is because I was forced to go on maternity leave early (complications), and thus we w...

Hi, I recently purchased a JJ, and from memory (we threw the box out), it was designed by a physiotherapist. My daughter (5months) loves it. She's not always jumping like crazy, she'll stop and s...

Hi, we just got back from a 4 week trip to Canada with our now 5-month old daughter. For the flights there and back, we filled all our bottles (10 x 240ml) with pre-boiled water. Initially, we ma...

Thank goodness there are other babies out there who are drinking less! My 19 week old daughter has been a constant source of anxiety for me over the past few weeks. She will only take about 100ml...

It is very hard to enjoy a pregnancy after experiencing loss. My first pregnancy, I lost the baby at 8 weeks. I then became pregnant 4 months later, only to go into premature labour at 24 weeks d...
