For those that wear their LO's during the day, does it effect their night time sleep?? I'm just concerned that him sleeping so much in the sling will mean he sleeps less at night... I have yet to master the art of nursing laying down, getting the attachment right so that it doesn't hurt...so...

OK, so my son is now almost 3 weeks old, and taking him to Mass is a huge effort, but I would love to hear from those who managed it! I have a sling, how practical is it to wear them in the sling during mass? Especially as I breastfeed and if he needs to eat during mass? The sling I have allows...

Hi all, Just wanted to apologise for my absence, I have been in hospital for a while and unable to get a message to anyone. Anyway I'm home again now and baby and I are doing just fine.

Sorry for my absence. I;ve been in hospital for a while, but I'm home now. Things are going ok now with the baby. It;s good to hear about all these babies being born!!

OK so over the last week or so I have been having increasing episodes of what I will describe as cramping, lower down, and discomfort, heaviness in the pelvis/cervix area. It kinda feels like what I would imagine braxton hicks, but they are actually painful as well as being uncomfortable. It...

I would really appreciate a quick prayer. I'm heading back to work tomorrow, (and Thurs and Sun!) I haven't been to work in a couple of months so it will be interesting to see how my pregnant body copes with being on my feet! Fortunatley the first two shifts are only 6-7 hour shifts. I've...

Well, just went to my first MW clinic today, and aside from DD acting like she was high on something (I am so embarrassed about her behaviour but I guess that is another story) after describing some of the problems I have been having with light headedness and feel faint and tired, the MW wants...

I am due to have my second child in three months. And I am considering the pros and cons of routine as opposed to no routine. I have bought the book "Save our sleep" by tizzie hall, and she has many routines (similar to the contented little baby book) which basically is like 7am - wake and...
