Alexander & I took a nap yesterday from 4 to 5 & when I woke up his cheeks were all red & rash covered. First I thought it might be because I used a lotion that had buttermilk in it (we're still not sure exactly what he's allergic to) but I don't know. I gave him a bath but that didn't help. The...

My right breast felt bruised yesterday and it feels worse today. Just on the right side & underside of the breast. I found this page: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/mastitis.html and am going to be doing the hot shower & warm compresses. I had Alexander nurse more on that breast last...

Went in for shots & checkup today. He ended up not getting the MMR because she was concerned about his allergies & we decided just to wait a bit. Alexander only gained 7 ounces in the last 3 months (he now weighs 21lbs 14oz) and that has her concerned. She wants me to add more fatty foods to...

Alexander gets pretty bad eczema. It starts on his hands and feet and then he gets it in the crook of his elbows and behind his knees. Eventually his cheeks get chapped and it covers his forearms. We know he has allergy problems. My husband is allergic to a lot of things so it didn't come as a...

My little grabby 5 month old grabbed a lemon off my husband's water glass and shoved it in his mouth. Then he made the funniest face I've ever seen. -- Rebecca Jo Mama to Alexander 6/6/05

I LOVE my Kozy Carrier. I just wanted to gush about it for a moment. I love being able to put Alexander on my back and do laundry and do dishes and cook dinner and not have him fuss. He is so comforted by being held that it serves us perfectly. I love being able to tie him to my front & go for a...

We are testing our 6 week old on having one bottle a week of formula (not going down the EBM line). I have been trying to express while hubbie feeds but I was wondering if it is really necessary for only one formula bottle a week. Would it reallly affect my milk supply missing just one...

We had the best Xmas pressie of all - our 12wk old woke on Xmas morning at 7am for the 3rd night running meaning he had gone roughly 7-7. We were ecstatic. However, since then he has gone back to his usual waking (usually just once) in the night. Any idea as to why he managed before and not now?...

Dear All, Anyone had similar or can offer advice as to whether there is something we can do? Our little one, 2y 3m, decided he didnt want to wear nappies anymore (I was hoping for summer training but he had other ideas!) and it has gone

I have just bought this second hand for £2 (bargain!) but it came with no instructions. Can anyone please tell me how much water to add? I assume it goes in the outer ring? Also, is this as good as an electric steam steriliser? I have just started down the road of expressing (o joy) so have...

Hi All, Our 10 week old has just gone from waking once to waking twice in the night (and is very irritable until fed) so I have assumed its a growth spurt and am letting him feed as much and as long as he wants. Thing is, he is suckling away but there is no milk (he then gets frustrated). I...

Hiya, Thoughts please... I go back to work in 3 weeks when ds will be 6 3/4 months. I am now trying to prepare him for life with the childminder but have to work around a few issues...mainly that he won't take a bottle or formula. (He used to take bm from a bottle until we tried formula. From...

Hiya, Our 5 month baby goes to bed at 7ish and has, for a week now, been "waking up" screaming up to 3-4 times before we go to bed around 10-11. I say waking up, but when we go in to him, his eyes are nearly always closed. If we pick him up (even for a second) he generally stops crying striaght...

Our 13 week old, up until last week, had settled himself down into a fairly regular feeding pattern (vaguely every 3 hours) and I was 'persuading' him to have sleeps regularily when he was tired - telling by his eye rubbing, nigglyness and eyes closing but him startling himself awake. These sleeps...

Our 11 week old is sleeping at night from 7-8pm to 4-5am (generally) and will then feed and sleep for another couple of hours. For this I am truly grateful. However, I have problems getting him to sleep in the day which means by the time 5-6pm comes he is totally miserable, screaming and is so...

These will seem like daft questions but I would appreciate your input on these few questions/ points that I have been thinking about. They are regarding my 7 week baby boy who sleeps in a crib in our room. 1. If a baby farts during or just after feeding, does that count as winding ie has the air...

Please help! We have a gorgeous but windy baby (5 weeks) and I have been advised to keep an eye on what I eat to work out if something in my diet is making him windy. However, I can find any information as to how long it takes for the food Ive eaten to affect the taste of the breast milk and...
