Baby care webchat with Megan Faure! Tues 22nd February from 12-1pm

Hi. I have a 7 month old who has had a good bedtime routine since the age of 3 weeks however she has only just started to learn to send herself off to sleep at night time. But she is still waking once in 12 hours for a breastfeed. My GP says I should ignore her and let her cry it out. GP says that has she is eating 3 solid meals a day now and drinking from me in the day i shouldn't be feeding her at night - is this right? She does seem genuinely hungry when she wakes (generally 3/4am) and goes back into her cot awake, gets herself off to sleep and then wakes at about 6am/7am for the day so i'm sure it's not comfort feeding. the other problem i have is that i'm having problems getting her to nap in the day for longer than 30 minutes unless i take her out in the pram. she has 3 naps a day of 30-60minutes and sleeps 10-12 hours at night is this ok? it's weird though because she'll send herself off to sleep at nighttime but not during the day....

Expressing Question - Help needed urgently!

Ok ladies.
My dd is nearly 4 weeks old and I have been expressing for the first time for the last few days and leaving milk in the fridge because tonight me and dh are going out so I envisage to have a fair few glasses of wine.
My mum is coming over to stay and is going to feed dd my ebm via a feeding cup (dd had a feeding cup in hospital and took to it well).
I read that i need to express 2.5oz of milk per 1lb of baby's weight so in otherwords for a 24 hours period, it would be 25oz for a 10lb baby. So far I have expressed around 12oz and i'm worried it's not going to be enough. My dd is 8lb4oz at the moment. I have also left my mum some aptimil for an absolute emergency. At the moment dd is having a bf around 15-35mins every 1-2 hours you see including through the night (although sometimes she will go 3hrs if i'm lucky).
I intend on giving dd a bf before i go out at 6.30pm but then I won't be bf'ing her till Sunday (tomorrow).
My question really is how soon can I bf my dd tomorrow (i.e. when will the alcohol leave my body) and also do i need to express whilst i'm out tonight and chuck the "bad milk" away?

PUPPP

hi blue gecko thanks for getting back to me. it's nice to speak to somebody who knows what it's like. i was doing so well in my pregnancy and the itching started around a week ago or so then i was diagnosed with PUPPP on Monday; since then it's just got worse. i am going to stop taking the piriton and the steroid cream as they are not working as i don't see the point in continuing to be honest - not sure of risks to baby anyway.
how long were you taking the dandelion for? i have just started it today. they are 520mg so i'm just going to take 2 a day. my mw saw me today too and has asked me to go back to gp on friday if the dandelion is not working.
i just want the rash to stop spreading at the moment. it's agressive and looks like burns all over my tummy, thighs and bum and then i have a mild form of the pimply rash on my hands, arms, feet, back, breasts and calfs. i am praying to god it doesn't go to my face.

HI the ladies across at the other board suggested i ask you about PUPPP. i have it and it's driving me insane. did you try dandelion tablets at all?

PUPPP

I have been diagnosed with PUPPP. http://dermatology.about.com/cs/pregnancy/a/puppp.htm I am currently 38+5 and the itching and inflammation is driving me insane. I have been given piriton and a mild steroid cream but they are not working. the rash is spreading and getting worse. i have read that dandelion tablets work after a few days of taking them but i'm unsure of the doseage. i keep reading 3 x 3 tablets per day but mine are 520mg and it says just 1-2 tablets per day
anyone know anything about PUPPPs at all?

Help with pushchair choice please!!

we've gone for a Jane Nomad Pro Matrix Cup
Travel System. i'm really happy with it but haven't used it properly yet as baby isn't due till july!

Honest answers please :) ... Do you....

yes it did worry me at first but as my pregnancy has progressed it's worried me less as i get so much emotional strength just knowing my baby is growing because of me. i'm not eating for 2 and i'm eating healthily. i'm 28 weeks now and i have put on 10lb which i'm happy about. my baby is growing fine; i'm average size for my dates and i am well i myself. best of luck everyone x

have posted this in pregnancy

had sex less!!! lol
we were trying for 10 months in total and the month i fell pregnant we only had sex twice! we had been using zestica lubricant and a fertility monitor for around 6 months. we both had dreadful colds too the month we fell pregnant so i reckon because my immunity was low i didn't fight the spermies too much! lol
i was convinced we hadn't done it the month we had done it becuase of how little we'd had sex. but i just had a feeling and did a test the day af was due and it came up straight away as pregnant!
just goes to show it'll happen when it'll happen. best of luck hun x

When to get help????

Hi Vicsy. I'm nealry 28 and I asked the GP after trying 6 months - she told us to hang in and go back if i didn't get caught after 12 months. She told me to relax about it and just take it one day at a time. The month i fell pregnant we only had sex twice!!! We were properly trying 10 months in total. I'm now 28+3 gone and my baby is due in July so please don't give up, just try to relax about the whole thing and enjoy being a couple. I know how it feels hun x
