HI there Eve-K!

I also had a very strong let-down issue with my now-four-month-old. It was hard for her to cope with as she even sometimes would gag or cough a bit with the surge of milk, and it did (and still sometimes does) result in her getting a lot of wind because of gulping in air. Here are the things I’ve tried/done which have helped:

Hi Sabbi and Caligal!
Sorry to post a bit off topic here. But I just wanted to say Great to hear these wonderful news from you both – that you are both expecting is such great news it makes me smile over here in Wicklow. :):) Thinking of you both and sending warm thoughts to you and the little ones you are carrying!
I also had a homebirth in…[Read more]

hi there bre! sent you pm… c

not sure if this will help but our 2 year 3 month old son has also been a difficult one with the toothbrushing. 🙂 what we discovered works most of the time is to brush with 2 toothbrushes (him on lap of either me or dh) – one for my son and one for the adult who’s doing the brushing. We tell him ‘we’ll do it together’ and take turns. Ok it’s your…[Read more]

You could try phoning Ciaran 0862565257. He helped me pass my test. He does the Drogheda and Dundalk areas…

Hi beamam,

just to quickly jot down a suggestion – maybe someone has already suggested it before – anyway here it is: try http://www.freetradeireland.ie just check everyday because someone might put something up that will be just what you need.

Best wishes,
Corinne

Hi i’m also interested if nobody else takes it. (there seems to be a high demand for it!) 🙂

Thanks for sharing this article, which brings about such a lively and worthwhile discussion. And I’m so glad someone also posted another link that gives some more details about the Wax study. Am contemplating a home birth and ‘scare articles’ such as the one in the Daily Mail can really make a lasting impression on someone if there were no other…[Read more]

we have an electric hob (4 burners) we’re looking to sell for a reasonable price. It measures 22.83 inches (width) by 19.88 inches (depth), so may not fit your purpose. Let me know if you’re interested.It has only been used for 1 year and we’re looking for 40 euros for it.

Hi Everyone! New to the area. We moved to a house that’s halfway between Bray and Greystones so both areas ok. 🙂 Would love to meet up with other mums or be in touch via Mumstown, exchange tips, thoughts, questions, local practical knowledge, etc. 😉 i moved from Drogheda, ‘birthplace’ of Mumstown, so it was really quite a nice thing to have a…[Read more]

Thanks Girls! That’s great. Will check out those two places.

very strange. 🙂

well i think so long as they’re banning ‘un-healthy’ stuff they should also ban petit filous – it’s full of sugar!

🙂 just joining in the fray a bit. tongue in cheek. 😉

Hi!

The following are not free but are very reasonable and are run by parents too:

Mondays and Fridays 10 – 12:00 – Playgroup at the St. Peter’s Parish Hall – 3 euro but you get tea and toast.

Wednesdays and Fridays 10 – 12:00 – Playgroup at the St. Mary’s (on Dublin road in a small building near the St. Mary’s hospital) – 2 euro and you…[Read more]

Hi Jene! Next one is on Thurs 11th of Feb. 10.30 a.m at the St. Peter’s Parish Hall up the hill. Cheers!

Hi Wonderwoman!

My son’s a terrible teether – he seems to really work for each tooth he cuts. (He’s got 8 now, only 12 more to go! sigh). 🙂

Anyway, the thing that’s worked most for us is the Weleda teething granules. You can get them from the health food shop at the bottom of Stockwell Street (it’s on the corner). They provided my son with…[Read more]
