random though, if you've had these problems before changing your diet maybe ask your doctor to check your thyroid? I have no medical qualifications, this is just a thought.

Congratulations! And welcome to the world, little one x

you can also look on natural mamas fsot or there's a fb group - slings and things fseot and advice. I've bought both a woven wrap and a carrier from NMs.

no, in some cases it's baby on one boob and toddler on the other! lol Tandem feeding is quite common among extended breastfeeders (considered over 6/12 months depending on who you talk to). There is no "should" when it comes to duration of feeding, apparently the age for weaning in nature ...

I am personally in favour of immunisations. Imagine how you would feel if your daughter experienced a miscarriage because you chose not to immunise them against measles, or your grandchild was born with a heart defect because you opted out of rubella immunisation for her. Or if your son caught mumps...

This has now been changed, under the sexual discrimination act you can breastfeed a child of any age with the protection of law.
In Scotland we have a Breastfeeding Act! Shame it's done nothing to increase the breastfeeding rates!

no.. please enlighten me? :) It's another forum, mainly about babywearing but there's a whole section on attachment parenting. I have found in a lot of people I meet who formula feed that they have tried BFing but have been given appalling advice or no support and many of them really regret not suc...

More often than not the problem comes from other women going by stories I've heard. I've been lucky in the 6 months I've been feeding my son that I've never noticed any negative comments/looks.
Boobs are there to feed babies (if you are able).

are you on natural mamas?

The more women breastfeeding in public the more it will become normal. It's daunting to begin with but when you ha...

Glad you are feeling prepared! Being informed is the best way to ensure you get the birth you want or understand the reasons why you are not able to birth the way you choose. Useful to know that you can opt for monitoring rather than induction if you go over and you're being pestered to get induced.

Slicing chopped pork and corned beef on the deli in Safeways, nothing like being coated in processed meat products on a Saturday morning with a hangover mmm (student days).

I was going to recommend Ina May. Have you looked into Hypnobirthing? I also did pregnancy yoga and a birth workshop. Natural Mamas forum has a pregnancy section with good threads. Baby and Bump forum also have a Home and Natural birthing board. I unfortunately didn't get the natural birth I had hop...

It's a wonderful thing! We've passed on so many things from TVs, fridge freezer etc to a mobile charger from a lost phone. I've also received great things like loads of seeds, reusable nappies and most recently three breastfeeding tops which would have cost over £80 new!!! It's really nice to intera...

Forth valley didn't fare too well, although we personally were ok, watching neighbour's fence cartwheel down the street, power cut for 3 hrs (missed internet more than anything)
