arte - yes she had a miscarriage last November. Her fiance has a 5 year old boy that lives with them, but this will be her first.
Cally - my dh is total opposite - he will happily pay for someone else to do something if it means he can relax lol.
mm - i give Hannah Children's Inner health. Just a smidgen of powder on the edge of a spoon. You just buy it from the chemist. Does Maddie eat yoghurt? that can help as well. Poor little thing, she's not having a good run of late is she.

re the mother-in-laws - this is the time when you get dh to tell her that if she doesn't listen to you and follow your rules, you won't leave bubs with her.
a friend of mine was having issues with her MIL sticking her nose in - one day she'd had enough and told her to leave the house. MIL has respected her wishes ever since!
