Boobs like bricks - ouch!

Asked by kellydoc. Newbie ChatPRO
Hi ladies. I have recently stopped breastfeeding my little girl (last bf was tues night) and im just wondering how long it takes for your milk to stop. My right boob is solid and very sore. Its twice the size of my left one (left one stopped producing milk a few wks ago). Is there anything i can do to ease the pain or will it just go away in a few days???

18 month old off food

Asked by sarah_ma1. Newbie Lucky ChatPRO News Like
Ah, I know, it's a phase, it could be teething etc. lo's quite on and off with her food anyway, but we've had a total hunger strike and the only thing she'll eat is filling yoghurts or custard!!! Lo doesn't get crisps etc. so it's not that she's wanting other stuff she just seems to not want to eat... She only had a couple of spoonfuls of weetabix at breakie yesterday, a pair for morning snack, lunch she only ate the scrambled egg then a yoghurt, pancake for afternoon snack, would only eat a bit of her sweet potato mash for tea (no wee willie winkies), complete pass on weetabix this morning, half a pear for morning snack, pass on soup and bread for lunch but had yoghurt... So.... I'm trying to keep it all light and happy and her teddies are getting well fed.... I do leave her in her high chair to see if she'll come out of it, but I know her and I don't want a high chair adversion to start! So I then wait a bit and give her a yoghurt... I feel bad giving her a yoghurt when she hasn't eaten her proper food, but short from liquidizing her food and syringing it in I have tried everything! So I guess I'm not so worried about the faddy eating, more worried that I'm setting a bad pattern by giving her the yoghurt... But if it's all that she eats.... What do we think?! x

7 month old... dummy advice pls

( 0 thumbs up )
Asked by saz_alli. Newbie Lucky ChatPRO
Over the past two weeks Nathan has become very dependent on his dummy to settle at night. it's now reached the point where he's waking up overnight to have the dummy back in. I don't know what's best to do- just keep him with the dummy as he's teething with top two teeth at the moment and it settles him straight away overnight....... or do I go cold turkey and get rid of the dummy so the dependency can stop?? advice please!!!

Weightloss at a standstill :(

( 0 thumbs up )
Asked by danielle155. Newbie
Hi girls, i put on 5 stone from just before prgnancy and during, i managed to lose 2 and bit stone by exercise and drinking lots of water and lost a further 10lb just by going back to work.In total that was 3 stone. However due to exhausing work hours when i went back 10 mths ago i stopped my workout routine, this meant my weight just stayed the same for like 6 mths, and the lastime i weighed myself (about 2 weeks ago) i put on 9lb in two weeks. and ive probably put more on since then. Basically i need help to get back into this my motivation is so low but i feel so rubbish about myself :( i do not want to go back to 17stone which was me at my heaviest.

Help! How do you go about leaving your child in a creche for the first time!

( 0 thumbs up )
Asked by mamfajane. Newbie Chat
Hi please can you give me some advice? I've started attending a church that has a creche. Its really good and is a preschoool during the week so is very well equipped etc. Anyway i've never left my daughter who is now 2 with anyone other than 2 family members. I've been staying with her in the creche for 5 weeks now (45 mins each time). On week 3 i managed to leave her happily for 10 mins then i went back in. On week 4 she was coming down with a cold so was clingy so i didn't leave her. Last week i left her for 15 mins then she cried. A lady picked her up and tried to distract her but she continued to cry. I could see all this from outside the door but she couldn't see me. So i buckled and went back in. Then i stayed another 20 mins and tried again but she cried almost immediately. Each time i tell her i'm going out and will be back soon. The thing is i don't know what to do next. If i go in as soon as she cries presumably she'll learn to do that when she wants me. But if i come back after 5 mins of crying wil she learn she has to cry for a while then i'll come! I don't want her to get distressed but how do i do it without rushing back in or making her cry for longer and longer? Obviously i'm hoping she'll stop crying but becuase i've never left her before i feel cruel when technically i don't have to leave her as its not for my work i just really want to listen to a message as not had chance in 2 years! Help!!!! x

Article: High blood pressure during pregnancy

Asked by loudaz2010.
I ended up in A & E last night because of a varicose vein I have had swolen up and was very painful. While I was there the triage nurse checked my blood pressure and it was 138/80 is this considered high as it is normally 110/60? They ended up giving me some excema cream but I'm not convinced. I am 32 wks and can hardly stand on my leg should I get a second oppinion?

So confused!

( 0 thumbs up )
Asked by katiewoo0. Newbie
I met this man last July, so gorgeous, married and 18 years older than me (I'm 17). So I left his hotness to the side untill he started speaking to me on Facebook. The problem is, we have spoken nearly everyday and been out once to just chat, we kissed and after all the time we've spoken to each other, I've fallen in love with him. He says he loves me too but I just don't think he does. He says that he doesn't think he loves his wife anymore, so I think ''why don't you get a divorce then?'' he's not doing anything about it. So I tried to forget about him and fall out of love with him, but because of personal hobbies, we still see each other every week and can't help it unless I give up playing my instrument (he's my conductor). I really don't know what to do anymore, I try and guilt myself into not talking to him but I just succumb to him so easily!! Help?
