For me pain was a part of BFing while pregnant, some times it was worse then others, but it was never normal feeling. It was worse earlier on and the huge demand for feeds is likely to be her attem...

His behaviour is absolutely not acceptable, but it sounds like he could be depressed to me, and that is causing the out of character behaviour (presuming he wasn't like this before). I think i...

It isn't super common, but I wouldn't call it unusual either at that age (and definitely not unusual physiologically), I think it becomes significantly less common as you approach 2 in Au...

I would try using a laminated piece of card to try to separate the two Velcro sides, have a few bits and leave it separating each piece while you start the next corner. Good luck

The terminology is interesting, I would say it is sending him early or in the standard year, rather then deferring him, or I have heard people talk about 'holding them back a year'. I und...

Claire, 'elective' and emergency c sections are often very different in terms of recovery. While I would say my recovery from vaginal birth was very significantly easier (I bounced back v...

Congratulations on number two I am sorry to hear you had such a horrific experience with your first birth. I haven't personally, but my SIL had very significant damage with her first, somet...

I have a swing too from when I returned to work PT with DD1 (and it is a great pump), but would suggest not buying a pump until the baby is here and you find a need to pump. DD2 was born prem, so I...

I don't find it offensive, and I've been both working and SAHM.

Yes we got it Foxglove, DD loved playing with the bunnies and tokens Did you get mine? I think I am a few short too, I figured people got held up with Easter, but maybe Aust Post delays?

You are probably looking for something like 'The no cry sleep solution' by Elizabeth Pantley. She likes routine from memory and uses very gentle methods, she is very much, if what you are...

I would try one of the herbal galactogogues in the mean time (fenugreek, blessed thistle etc), and if you are making the cookies yourself, try the raw dough, it is more effective that way . I would...

Yay! I hope he likes it Oh, and the dots on the back are so they can self check they got it right once they know how it all works.

I would still take a test to be sure, many women bleed around the time AF would have visited for the first few months and assume (not unreasonably) that they aren't pregnant. Otherwise I would...

You can get both from Heath food shops. The cookies are even more effective raw, so go for it if you like cookie dough
