    The best pieces of advice came from my Mum and she told me to just 'go with the flow' and it has really worked. The other was when Lindsay first ate banana and she told me not to freak when he did his first poo after eating it (because of the black threads from the banana) if she hadn't have told me that I would have gone mental I think LOL. The worst piece of advice came from my Dad who said that at 2 weeks I should start putting Farex in Lindsay's bottles (Like he would know)

    best advise..
    follow your instincts
    Mum knows their baby best
    BREASTFEED BREASTFEED BREASTFEED (if possible of course)
    Every baby is different ..there are no text book babies!
    Follow babies lead!

    worst advice
    put your colicky baby of formula (grrr MIL)
    Just let baby cry he will get to clingy and its good for them (ahhh)
    you are naughty for demand feeding
    baby cries more now because he was colicky and you held him to much
    I should get out more so baby gets use to others holding him??

    ahhh so many negative comments it drives me crazy!But have learned that I am his mum and I know best! Such a hard lesson to learn with so much bad advice out there!
