Has be been on Antibiotics recently? In November my boy was on antibiotics (in USA) and soon after he got a nappy rash that was quite bad. Took him to the doc here 2 weeks later saying it still hadn't cleared and nappy rash cream wasn't working he said it was a bad yeast infection and gave him caneasten cream 3 times a day for 21 days and after 2 days it started clearing and completely went away. He said because of the antibiotics his immune system was down that's why he got it. Maybe give that a try?

I know exactly where you are at... Took me ages to get my boy to drink, he use to have about 40 on a really good day and all the other babies were drinking about 180ml water a day!!! I was stressing out and couldn't understand why and still don't! I tried everything including mixing apple/orange juice. Eventually on the 4th sippy cup I tried he started drinking and on day one had 80ml before lunch!! I got the Pigeon Mag Mag Sippy Cup with the straw attachment. (it has 3 stages that's the last). Also try drinking out of an oasis bottle with the suck through valve. or tipping a normal cup into his mouth... messy but they sure to swallow some of it! Hope this helps!

I put on 25kgs during my pregnancy. Next time around Ill be eating a lot less sugar as that's all I was craving for 9 months! Its taken a full year to loose it but its finally gone. Don't worry about how much you put on. As long as your not losing any weight during pregnancy its all good.

I hope so!! We couldn't see them from our balcony and couldn't leave as our baby is fast asleep. They sounded really good! I'll be out waiting for them tomorrow so I hope they are on again as its the finals.

I exclusively pumped for the first 6 weeks as my boy didnt have a clue how to latch on. i started with about 60 ml which then went to 90at 2 weeks, then 120ml at about 3weeks and stayed around 120-150 per feed every 3-4 hours. In the morning I always got double that even though i expressed once at night, sometimes twice. during the day feeds I tried to latch him on, but never with a result and one day he suddenly did it! but had forgotten by the next feed, gradually he did more and more and I stopped expressing at 3 and a half months. I have the medela freestyle double pump (7 min's pumping and your done). Started with the and held one but it was soooo noisy... I thought i'd invest a bit more money since I was exclusively pumping and get a quieter faster one and It was worth every penny!!! One thing I found while expressing was that I didn't actually notice a change in milk amounts during his growth spurts, he had the same amount, maybe only 1 extra bottle in the day. I did demand feeding so if he seemed hungry I'd give him a bottle from the fridge and once he was done I'd replace that one by expressing so i was always at least 1 feed ahead. I loved that I knew exactly what he had while expressing as you can see the amounts in front of you but breastfeeding you cant so you always worry if they are having enough!! I never would have though I would have been able to breastfeed up till a year by how the year started out, but we managed.

Royal Brunei are alright, Ive flown them a couple of times from Dubai to New Zealand. Not sure what they are like with children though. Thinking back at my Lufthansa flight to USA now I would have happily spend the extra 2000dhs to go Emirates!!
