Bearing in mind that she is highly sensitive to me, and when i suggested that 6 hours was a long time she asked if I thought she should put an alarmclock on, in a not nice way! How would you want your mother to tell you this piece of info. I did say that I thought it was too long and that her little body was too small to go that long, her reply was she would wake if she were hungry. Not sure how to approach this and feel quite upset now :(

Can you Mums bring me up to date with current thinking on waking baby to feed. My grandaughter went from 9pm to 3am without waking and she was only 2 weeks old last sunday. That seems a long time for a little tummy to go, but don't want to say anything in case I am being old fashioned!

many thanks to all of you with your welcome advice. Baby is now 2 weeks old and is feeding beautifully, it was as so many of you said she was not latching on properly despite being told she was. Once she was seen by lactation nurse all turned out well, many thanks once again :)) xx

Thanks for that. My toes are curling at the memory and that is from 36 years ago!!!! Sadly all this help was not availble so I very quickly went to the bottle :((

xx Thanks

you are all stars, many thanks. she lives in willesden GinaG3 if you have any info for that area xx

My daughter 3 days post c section has a beautiful girl who loves the nipple. They are already getting sore with little cracks. She will be heartbroken if she is unable to continue and the nurses at St Marys are rubbish, tried to give baby Mums antibiotics! All advice happily received xx

I do, however, reluctantly tolerate this as they are wild animals. What reason do the humans have for dropping their rubbish, spitting (don't get me started!), using the sreet as a toilet ets, etc?

She's had it done, uncomfortable but not painful. One finger, and cervix is not too posterior, maybe happen in 48 hours if not back next thursday! Thank you for all your lovely input and encouragement xx

I cannot stop my imagination picturing some midwife (a very ancient one) with long poles with big black circular brushes on the ends!

OMG I am beginning to feel scared for her now! Have advised her to take 2 paracetomol, maybe should add in the bottle of gin?! She hates her smear, makes her feel sick, even has resorted to valium before. Heaven knows what this will be like. xx

Many thanks for all input, fascinating for a Grandma to be. Not like this in my day! What I am understanding is it will still be nature who decides in the end, I hope!

Thats what I thought, tho' thursday would be good for me!! It seems like its 50/50, in the laps of the stork. xx

This is all so interesting! She is very uncomfortable and as the pregnancy affected her joints believes that the lack of sleep she has experienced over the last months cannot be any worse with baby! Lets hope it works well, think I will not warn her it may hurt.

Thank you both for feedback, really helpful. I guess as my other daughter just said to me, having sex would do the same thing??! or not?

Has any one had this done? My daughter having one on thursday despite EDD being either 12th or 18th. Is it neccessary, did it work, would appreciate some opinions. xx

Having read this post and one other about a guy who got mugged, it occurs to me that a possible reason for angry reactions is the feeling of powerlessness that seems to be felt by adults when presented by any form of anti-social behaviour from young people. When I was a young gel, if caught doing something adults considered not ok I would have benn dealt with by a fierce telling off there and then or marched home to my parents. Even though kids have always done 'naughty' or 'bad' things, they, I, we never for one minute believed we were in charge or held the ace cards. Any one working with kids will know that many do not have parents who give a toss, and that kids grow up also not giving a toss. Not just about you, but about themselves as well. A sad indictment of the society adults have created.:(

Has no-one got experience of this buggy? Help and advice please if you have used it. xx

Doesn't anyone have experience of these pleeeease?!

Has any one got any useful feedback on this one? Is it suitable for single mum on 1st floor, needing to use public transport and wanting to use from birth. It seem nice and light and easily manouverable, but thats in the shop!

Apart from Tommys in Peckham where can we go for a wide selection of birth upwards buggies to test? many thanks
