8 weeks pregnant with awful morning sickness
pregnancy / first-trimester
If you guys could tell me what to take/eat/do to not experience this horrendous nausea that would be marvellous!! I'm 8 weeks with my third and I have never had sickness like this before! I wake up and need to be sick the moment my eyes open, I feel dizzy too, it's been like this for three and a half weeks now. I can't go to work in the morning because I'm throwing up till 11 am most days. I don't want to tell my work yet, but I'm running out of reasons for being late or not going in. I never had sickness like this with the other two. Please please give me some advice!!!
When would you introduce sugar to a toddlers diet?
babies-and-toddlers / weaning-food
I don’t believe giving young children foods or drinks with sugar in them is a good idea. I tried very hard to keep my daughter away from sugar and I managed to get away with it until she was around three. A toddler group was the first to spoil my daughter’s non-sugar diet by offering her a biscuit while she was there. I also found people in shops and other places would offer her sugary lolly pops as a ‘gift’ or ‘reward’. As a parent, it’s so difficult to say something to these people because you don’t want to appear strict in a horrible way. People are quick to judge and it’s annoying also when people assume that your child will eat anything they give them. I just didn’t want my daughter having sugar because I believe she’d be more likely to eat healthily as she gets
What's in breast milk?
babies-and-toddlers / breast-bottle-feeding
I expressed for the first time yesterday and put my milk in the fridge. Today I went to use it and it looked like it had curdled, but I saw a post that said it can last for five days so I warmed it up and it went back to normal. So I wondered what exactly is in breastmilk and how it is made up?
Breech baby at 39 weeks
pregnancy / third-trimester
I had a midwife appointment earlier and been told my baby's breech! She's been the right way round for weeks & now suddenly she turns at 39 weeks! The midwife said she could turn back, or they could try and turn her, or I could deliver breech! OUCH!! Don't like the sound of that!! Or a c section if she is a stubborn bambino. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I'd like to hear some stories to help me feel a little less scared.
What educational apps do you recommend for a 3 year old?
leisure / internet-and-gaming
My 3yr old DD keeps stealing my phone to watch cartoons on netflix but I'd rather download some educational apps for her. I have downloaded a few but they all ended up being a bit rubbish and crammed full of adverts which she kept clicking on accidentally. If anyone knows of any free or cheapish ones, let me know. Cheers!
How to stay dry at night?
babies-and-toddlers / potty-training
My daughter is 3.5, she's been dry in the day for about 4 months but I haven't attempted nights yet. I need some advice before I go there... How do you keep them dry at night? I need routine ideas, so she can start going through the night. Does anyone use those dry nights pyjama pants ? How long does it take? Do you put a potty in the room? Sorry for all the questions, just never done this before !
