I recently read that the majority of weight loss due to breastfeeding (only if it DOES happen of course) happens between the third and sixth month of breastfeeding. I wonder how many mothers are still exclusively nursing then - lots of mums I know s…
How bad am I.. it never occured to me to save a portion of dinner from the night before to serve for lunch. That's way easier than what I'm doing. Thanks!
My daughter wont focus at dinnertime for a couple of reasons I can see - first is that Dad comes home and life suddenly gets super exciting, the second is that I think she's just tired.
I prefer to take a low stress angle in our house and I too did…
1. Most sundays he takes the wee girl for a few hours, out on errands or visiting with him. He works too many hours during the week to do more than a quick cuddle and some book reading before her bedtime
2. Not inside the house - again, works too ma…
Sigh. Not getting involved with the vax one but could pick many holes in the what-not-to-feed article. Especially as a big BLW fan.
Pea sized is safest? Um.. there's this thing called inhalation..
We fight about such extrememly stupid stuff when we're tired that I don't even remember half the time what we were fighting about. Luckily we both have the same temperament - big flare up, then it's over and we apologise. Nothing lingers so I can't…
I stopped nursing my 16 month old daughter to sleep about two months ago. It did result in her weaning but I am six months pregnant so there were lots of other factors at play there as well - low supply, funny taste, less encouragement etc.
I start…
I have a thoroughly 'traditional' my-job-is-out-of-house-and-your-job-is-inside-the-house selectively blind and deaf husband whom I love more than anything else in the world (excepting children of course!). Turns out he's not adverse to a bit of cle…
Ok not an expert at all here, but a little boy I know began showing some aggressive behaviour (not specifically biting) for basically the same reasons as yours. A child health or child psychologist (don't recall - it was someone professional) sugges…
My daughter is the same age and weight as yours.. small but powerful lol!
The only reason I can think of for the recommendations of cutting back on her feeds may be their concerns that she possibly isn't getting enough of her nutrients through soli…
OOh I LOVE parenting books. I read whatever I come across and enjoy comparing and discussing the different theories (of course being extremely skeptical the whole way through the book and only taking what works for me).
Recently I have really enjoy…
Yep. I like that we all have the same name, it gives me a sense of belonging to something (I don't share the same name with my parents as my mum remarried when I was a teenager). Also we have more to do with my husbands side of the family as we live…
May I just add that we have started crayoning.. lots got eaten, and it seems most of it.. ahem.. 'passed through' by the next day with no ill effects that I can ascertain.
Wow.. imagine being able to sleep in until 9! What a conscientious neighbour you are! Yes I think 8 or 9 is fair - except maybe on the weekends or if you know there is a shiftworker next door or something like that. Also some noises are probably mor…
