Hi ladies,
I had to post a message on here as after talking to a few different mummies it seems that there a quite a few babies being diagnosed with reflux when really the problem is a lactose intolerance.
The real problem is that the medicine that is given to our poor lo's for reflux is renitidine but this is NOT suitable for anybody with a lactose intolerance, and therefore makes symptoms WORSE NOT BETTER!!
I know it's not going to be the case for all babies but if your lo has been disgnosed with reflux but you have seen no improvement after taking renitidine then please ask for a lactose intolerance test, it is a simple stool sample!
The ingredient that is not suitable for lactose intolerance is SORBITOL E420. It is also in calpol but not in nurofen.
I am by no means a doctor or medically trained (although I blooming feel like one after all this lol!) but i just wanted to share this as I have a different baby now!
Sorry for long post! x

It was going ok, although my lo has more trouble with wind with my breast milk.
But this I have had a cold mastitis and a chest infection and I'm on antibiotics, I'm so run down I feel awful to be fair.
Well last night and today my milk supply in none existent. I think from being ill (all this started about 3 days ago n got antibiotics yesterday) I actually had a over supply before this.
I know people will say just keep feeding him every hour but I have a 1 year old.i want to spend time with her. And I won't bf out so have to bring a Bottle then. I have just asked my oh to give him a bottle now as I really need to catch up on sleep as I'm the only one that can feed him. His only 3 weeks. I'm not sure what to do really. ;(

My inlaws are telling me that I will be a bad mother if I don't WANT my baby in my bed for at least the first year...
To me that sounds ridiculous.. Am I not suppose to have an intimate relationship with my husband for the first year?
Mind you my brother in law slept in his parents bed til he was 14!!!!
What are your plans??
I'm a FTM so would love some input!
I didn't want to make a poll bc I like to hear your stories :)

I'm going to be induced next Saturday at 38+1 due to lack of movements. At first I was excited the fact I get to meet my little surprise earlier then expected but now reality has set in, I'm nervous of the "unknown." It doesn't help baby is back to back (hopefully she/he turns before hand!!)
I was wondering if any of you could share your induction experiences, whether it be good or bad. I want to be as fully prepared as possible and hear both sides. Did it go well? Did it in c-section etc
