StitchED and BitchED back at the Cherry Tree tomorrow night, from 7.

Sorry Sue, yes, that should have been directed at Ricci! We're meeting tonight Ricci, if you can make it we'd love to meet you.

Yes, like NatD said. Sorry, didn't see that Nat..

Hi Sue, StitchED and BitchED meet every Tuesday evening in the Cherry Tree, near the station. We're there from 7:30 and we'd love to meet you!

While I'm on the subject a little boy I look after has a puky, it's horrible. Weighs a ton.

We have a Strider. My son got it for his 2nd birthday and we never used the buggy again. It is super light - it doesn't weigh much more than a scooter so he can manoeuvre it himself easily up and down steps and curbs. I also use a scooter strap which helps when he's slow or tired. Though now Daddy has started taking the strap and running with him, legs akimbo, screeching with laughter down the street and while I had previously been congratulation him on his excellent balance his reactions are not quick enough to cope with the speeds his father has opened his eyes to. It'll end in tears. Anyway, thoroughly recommend the Strider, he (we) have all loved it from the start. It has a tighter turning circle than the wooden ones I think (though am not sure how tight they turn really, was told when researching and haven't tried it for myself) and the EVA tyres are brilliant, light as air and no punctures! Not the cheapest bike available, and I agonised over spending what I considered to be over the odds but would spend it again in a flash. Lets hope it doesn't get pinched and I don't have to. Happy choosing!

Where is the gardens cafe?

I found the lakeland ones brilliant, though very pricey. The ones I had from John Lewis were hit and miss, and the ones I got from Argos have all either split or re-inflated.

I haven't seen the bottles in person, let alone smelled them but that latest photo looks to me more like used oil than pee..

Actually I found them to be similar (possibly a tiny bit bigger) my normal (non maternity) bras. In a lot of the other (non-wired) nursing bras I tried I was finding H and HH cups a squeeze so compared to those I suppose they're huge. Quite a few of the reviews complain about the clips too and I have to say, they are a little awkward. That said, I haven't found them at all difficult to undo one handed, but I do need two to do them up again (I did though with the usual ones too so it hasn't bothered me too much) Honestly, this bra made me want to shout from the rooftops, or at least march down to the BF workshop and round up the bigger breasted women and tell them all about it. Good luck with it, I hope you find something that works for you.

Ralph Lauren clothes tend to fit a slender child nicely I've noticed in the past. Very pricey but there's always ebay!

I'm a 36H, and I'm not sure I'd have it this far with breastfeeding without proper wired nursing bras. I tried the Anita ones but found they were dug in and made me look lumpy and were completely without support. The Fitting Studio is great but when I was there last they didn't stock Elomi Elomi bras, which are all I wear now. They are smooth and supportive (not as pretty as Hot Milk unfortunately) but they are just amazing after wasting hundreds of pounds on bras that I hated wearing while my boobs got lower and lower..

You can just go to the chemist and buy a hypo-allergenic formula such as Nutramigen, which is suitable for cows milk allergy. I had to fall back on formula in the early days of breastfeeding and due to a family history of allergy I wasn't prepared to give my baby cows milk and risk a reaction. If you ask for it by brand I found that they will generally give it to you without a fuss or a prescription. I'm not any sort of medical expert, but my cousin has lived (only just a few times) with serious allergy, and my niece and nephew have some fairly big issues too. An serious allergic reaction is a potentially life threatening thing, and short of that deeply distressing and uncomfortable. If she's already reacted once to give it to her again seems like madness to me. If you do give it to her, call me paranoid, but can I ask you to consider going to sit in A&E while you do?
