Katscamel, thank you for the link, will definitely have a look. I'm looking more into favor boxes to put in chocolates and almonds for people to take home. Abby_n_christina, that sounds like a fantastic idea but the only problem is that its for my brothers wedding and will be taking the favors back to my home country. He asked me to have a look at favor boxes and bags. I went to those shops you suggested and found plain boxes which I'll just make something out of them hopefully. Thanks for your suggestions ladies

I flew when I was 36 weeks pregnant and had a doctors letter with me. They asked me to see the doctors letter before i boarded the flight. The flight was fine, just bring bottles of water to stay hydrated. It was also a 7 hour flight.

I've used smart cells and didn't pay them until after they collected the cells. They were really helpful.

Ah the good old Overheard at McDonalds thread, I remember when it started in 2009. Last week I had one of those moments, instead of a conversation it was their action that did it. I was unloading my items at the cashier in Waitrose when one of their staff came to help, i let them finish of unloading whilst I attend to my daughter. When i wasn't looking he put a bag of nike trainers that i brought from the nike store with the rest of the food items. He proceeded to open the bag and place the trainers when i turned round I told him 'what are you doing' whilst giving him a confused look. The cashier said 'sorry maam he's new'.

Hi Shelly! I've been to the Banyan tree Seychelles, its in a beautiful location. We stayed near the beach with private pool but then moved to the top of the hill with private pool. I can't complain other then the reason why we moved rooms are the gekos and cockroaches. Although when we did move at the top of the hill there were bats flying over our heads when we were swimming. I'm not a big of creatures. Other then those, we had a lovely welcome, very relaxing, room service was great, their massages are fantastic but couldn't sleep at night knowing theres other things lurking in the room. A geko actually landed on my husbands head whilst having a shower

I usually boil some water and put half a tsp of aniseed init and let it boil for 30 seconds, then let it cool down and give it to your baby. I usually give her 1oz, some people put natural sugar init but i don't want my baby to taste anything sweet yet so just give her aniseed in boiling water. Also my doctor once told me to only feed her every 3 hours because she needs to digest the milk well and not to feed her when she's crying (before the 3 hour mark) as that would just irratate her tummy even more. I also give her gripe water but i put it in boiling water so she can drink it. She loves it.

Things I can't live without: 1)Tommie Tippie sterliser steamer 2)Pacifiers 3)Icandy strawberry stroller 4)Medela Electric Swing 4)Nursing Cover 5)Tiny outfits for the 1st 2 weeks 6)Maxi Cosi pebble car seat 7)Attachable hooks for stroller to add more shopping bags on it 8)Bephanine rash cream, so much better then sudocrem 9)Natural baby perfume smells so good. Brought it from the UK, trying to look for it in Dubai

Looking for a carrycot for an icandy cherry. Anyone have one to sell? I'm actually selling a carrycot for icandy strawberry earl grey colour but I'm not sure if it goes in the cherry. I got it 2 months ago but my daughter hates sleeping in a carrycot so have to sell it, its practically brand new.

Thanks Untouchable, Pardon my ignorance but where can I buy fenugreek and in what form? I am not familiar with it at all I'm afraid.... Am drinking lots of water already and the supply seems to be fine on the other side... Let's hope I can stimulate the other sode again! TIA You can buy it at the spices section in the supermarket, or if you'd like an easier option they sell fenugreek pills in herbal shops instead of brewing it. Hopefully the other side will produce more milk :). I actually had the same problem with my LO, one side had more milk then the other, I tried all of those options and just let her feed longer on the side with not much milk so it can start producing more again. Hope that helps :)

I introduced formula milk when my daughter was 2 months old, she only takes one bottle a day when I'm out with her. She started with only 3 ozs and then started giving her another oz after 2 weeks, as she wanted more after the 3 ozs. She's 3 months now and takes 5 ozs in a day, of course with breast milk the rest of the day. I gave her cow and gate colic, but when i came back to Dubai I can't find that formula anywhere so just gave her cow and gate but I feel like its not like the one in London, she's be constipated ever since she started taking it. So I'm not sure which formula you should try. My doctor recommended SMA and Aptamil.

Ok WOW ladies the position seems to be key! Apparently she only likes to feed from one angle so by feeding her with the football hold from the other side, she seems to want to give it a try! BUT now I feel like the milk is diminishing on that side as its been a few days sonce she has fed from there. Is there anything I can do to restimulate the milk on that side? She has fed from there twice now since yesterday but needs to be topped up from the other side as there doesn't seem to be enough milk on that side. If I pump, will that stimulate production? Any tips would be fantastic! Tnx so much for all the advice! It really is invaluable to a first time like me! I usually pump to stimulate production, also with each feed change to the other side or let her feed for 20 mins on one side, burp her, change her nappy and then feed her on the other side. Also try brewing fenugreek and cinnamon with some honey or sugar, that helped my milk supply alot, drink plenty of water too.
