1. Im a FTM and my little one is 3 months old, she sleeps through the night most nights but I have to wake up to express my milk as my breasts get full Im too scared to leave them for more than 5-6hrs in case I get mastitis. I would love to be sleeping 8hrs! Anyone else have this problem? 2. Im a FTM whos currently 25 weeks pregnant. Ive been looking into the sleeping alarm monitors & was wondering how others feel about these? Do they help ease your anxiety or increase it? 3. Can I ask a question please? My 6mo is having serious seperation anxiety with me. If he cant see me, he screams a genuine fear cry. If Im not holding him, he reaches out to me desperately with hysterical sobs. Im not talking protest cries, these are tears streaming, purple faced, struggling to catch breath hysteria. Hes happy with his dad for short periods, but once he decides he wants me back, daddy cant console him. I cant drive anywhere, put him on the floor to play, and he wont sleep if Im not holding him. Hes got no routine because I cant just sit and hold him all day (I have an older child to care for too). Hes reaching all his milestones etc but I feel like Im failing as its affecting both him and my oldest. Any suggestions how to help get him through this? 4. What sort of bedding do others use for winter. My 6 month old will be wearing flannelet pjs to bed 5. Im looking at getting a new car, just wondering if people think leather seats are worth the extra money with kids? Ive heard they are easier to keep clean than fabric seats with food etc. Also can anyone recommend a good style of family car they are happy with? Needs to fit 2 car seats and have good boot space. 6. I would like to buy a hospital grade, double breast pump and would like to know which ones people have had success with. 7. My baby is 21 weeks old and for the last 3 days acts hungry but when I go to give a bottle she has a couple of sucks and thats it! But come night time feeds takes a whole bottle fine. Just wondering is she no longer liking the taste of this formula or what to do? 8. Just wondering some tips from other mummies. I suffered a miscarriage a couple of days ago. It was a surprise as we werent trying, and using protection. The few I have told so far have basically just said, well you didnt really want it anyway (which we do, due to medication we were waiting until I was off to start trying). I am devastated as I really do want another baby, and know I am blessed to have my baby boy. But how do others deal with that sort of negativity? I am grieving, and being told to just get over it is killing me. What are some constructive things I can say rather than going mental, as I feel close to at times? Any advice would be great.
