Hi all,

Kim no AF here yet either thankfully, but lots of people actually conceive number 2 without af having returned. I have also heard that sometimes if the first bub took a while the second one can be a bit easier.

Ali, that's great news, not on the intolerance, but that you have answers. Did you know that you can get lactose free formula on prescription? My niece was on lactose free and they had a prescription so using a health care card my sis was able to get it for about $5 a can I think, from the chemist.

Hai all,

Feeling fresh and lively this morning thanks to Willz skipping her 2am feed, went straight to 4am so mummy has a solid 5 hours sleep. How nice of her

I'm not planning on falling preggers at least for another cpl of years, rest assured. Not keen on going through 4 months of crazy vomiting, let me tell u! I wldnt be able to look after Willa properly and I can forget abt maternity leave so soon again.

Ali, great news about the new diagnosis (not that I'm happy Em's lactose intolerant but now u have answers at least). Been meaning to ask abt formula - is there really little diff between the brands. What abt the gold formulations?

Hi all,

am I the only one who didn't get really bad MS.

Sonia, as I understnad it the gold ones are an attempt to make something closer to breast milk as they have produced 1 of the long chain fatty acids that breast milk contains, however there are heaps in BB milk so the gold is the best they can muster. I have been told that when buying formula buy the cheapest one that your baby will drink.
