Con - I am breastfeeding

Beata - I am getting Tiah immunised. I have heard a lot of negatives and positives, but in the end I think the good outweighs the bad.

The class I went to is called Baby Sensory, if you google it they have a website with the locations. I cant wait for next week, already the things they showed me are making playtime with Tiah way more fun

Hi ladies,

Con- i am breastfeeding and giving formula top ups because Adrian is always so hungry, but mostly breast milk. Though he has gotten quite lazy while feeding and has a habit of blowing or pushing my nipple out with his tongue so he just sucks on the very end. Very annoying as i have to keep re attaching

beata- i will be getting Adrian immunised. My philosophy is that the ratio of kids getting sick with measles, mumps, chicken pox etc, is a lot higher than the number of kids having adverse reactions to immunisations, so im going with those numbers. Also, you have to consider that with so many parents choosing NOT to immunise, the likely hood of your child being exposed to another child with whooping cough etc is also a lot higher, especially in day cares, and some day cares wont even take your child if thier not immunised. So, i say do some research and go with what you feel comfortable with. HTH If your interested, my DH posted a thread on the debunking of immunisation related autism in the immunisations forum (under the name spencee)

AFM- im worried i have shot myself in the foot with Adrian We weren't using a dummy at the beginning as we didnt want him to get dependant on soothing with it but i capitulated for car trips to keep him quiet, and then it was for when i needed to shower, and then it was so i could have a nap during the day, etc, etc and now it seems that he is getting harder and harder to settle without it Trying to wean him off it before it becomes too much of a problem. Guess we'll wait and see.
Was thinking about trying some novalac sweet dreams formula at night to keep him tummy full so we both get a bit more sleep but im worried that a thicker formula will make him constipated, and its already hard enough to get him to drink his sweet water, any ideas?
