LilGem replied to topic Breastfeeding while pregnant
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...
LilGem replied to topic It could only happen to me (bit of a rant sorry)
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...
LilGem replied to topic Breastfeeding beyond 12 months?
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...
LilGem replied to topic Help Command Wall hanging strips
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
LilGem replied to topic Jan, Feb, March, April babies... Defer or not to defer school?
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...
LilGem replied to topic c sections.
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...
LilGem started new topic c sections.
DD2 was an elective but for medical reasons, so I got a date at about 30 weeks for a 34 week delivery, so 4 odd weeks earlier. The date was always a 'hoped for' not guaranteed date, we ne...
LilGem replied to topic OPINIONS PLEASE (past and present BF'ers)
I don't think the fact that you have them is weird (they keep the nipple/areola moisturised so have an ongoing purpose) but they yellow sticky stuff I haven't personally had. As others ha...

LilGem started new topic inverted hips
I don't think they were inverted, but my grandmother was born with a dislocated hip which was un diagnosed at birth. She always walked with a limp and couldn't run, but it was only discov...

LilGem replied to topic Best breast pump to buy?
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...
LilGem replied to topic Offensive or not?
I don't find it offensive, and I've been both working and SAHM.
LilGem replied to topic Easter busy bags

LilGem replied to topic suggestions on 'sleep training' books PLEASE!
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...

LilGem replied to topic Exclusive pumping. How much milk do you get?
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.
LilGem replied to topic Nipples
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...
LilGem replied to topic Breast milk
