Hi Melanie, Oh, so please you have finished with the rehab, one less thing to worry about Re: MMR jab, if I remember rightly, a few years ago a doctor 'A' linked MMR with causing Autism in children. However, the government and other doctors rediculed his findings insisting the MMR was safe and that ...

I often feel a bit guilty that Ellie doesn't have a nap routine....she just sleeps when she is tired wherever that may be, in the pram, car, at work, on the floor or in my arms at a cafe. She really only has a morning nap and sometimes in the afternoon, but as she seems content I'm not gonna worry a...

Hi Jade, Welcome to our group. How is everyone doing? After feeling quite smug about Ellie not having any problems with sleeping even when getting her 1st 2 teeth, I have just had the last few nights of getting Ellie to sleep and then her waking up crying...I am soooooo knackered! DH doesn't even st...

Hi Girls, My laptop totally crashed on me...OMG! Did I backup....no of course not!!!! My only relief was that a few days before Christmas I had copied all of Ellies photos onto a CD so that I could get them processed as gifts for family.....anything else would be a pain in the neck to redo but was n...

Hi, With Ellie I started with rice only for evening meal for a week, with a bit of milk before and the rest afterwards. 2 weeks later we introduced breakfast (baby porridge) and 2 weeks later we did lunch (rice again) after that we started doing rice with avocado for a few meals, then rice with broc...

Happy New Year to you all, of course all our American neighbours aren't there yet so hope you will have a good time too. We had a great time, went to a neighbours and set fireworks off, which woke Ellie up crying but she was fascinated by them too. Anyway, I'm just having a 10 minute quiet period be...

Hi, I stopped swaddling around 2 months, I used blankets for a little while, but found that I didn't sleep very well, getting up several times to check Ellie hadn't moved under them. I was given a sleepbag and have never looked back, she now knows when the sleepbag goes on, its time to settledown fo...

Carolinagirl: Miley is gorgeous, what beautiful eyes and what a lovely outfit. Ellie usually only eats around 4 ounces of milk at a time too, I just make sure she gets around 5 bottles a day as well as her solids, as long as she puts on weight I don't think it really matters if its in a routine you ...

Hi Girls, I have been a total mess this weekend. I made Ellie some chicken soup (great for colds huh!) Well, it was a bit hot, so I was stirring it to cool and thought I would just butter some bread for Ellie too. How could I be so stupid!!!!! Whilst I was doing that, Ellie pulled the soup all over ...

Hi Ladies, Ellie has had a miserable few days, she has her first cough and cold and had a really high temperature going up to 39.7 at one point, she has done nothing but sleep for the past couple of days, today there seems to be an improvement with her showing an interest in milk, although she is st...

haha! Well you are not actually safe from it yet anyway,a lot of people here didn't start sickness until they were around 8 weeks, so report back again soon....hehe!

I didn't have any sickness or nausea...not at all, not once!!!! I kept saying I really wanted it...but really I'm pleased that I didn't!

Wishing you a healthy sick free pregnancy
