    Popping over from preg thread again - Can anyone tell me where i can get maternity / nursing bras with a large back size (44) apart from ebay? Tried emma b ones but they are too uncomfy now.

    Thanks very much:D
    I've got one of these

    their biggest size is 44 I really like mine but I was borderline and went for the smaller size and wish I'd gone for bigger so I can't say for sure it would be good for you :undecided
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    MacSmiler is around - she was on FB earlier (I think it was today anyhow!) but she has a moving, eating baby too! She was saying she finds it hard to keep up too!

    Personally, we struggle with the jars and packets of food. Benjamin just doesn't seem to take to them very well...other than the puddings (which to be fair, I don't often make anyway!!). I do worry about them too - they start off reasonably thick and then go thin after they have been open for a while :confused:

    I don't intend to use lots of jars and packets, just the baby rice and porridge which I anticipate they will tell me to start him on. Did want to do BLW but his hands are too small to grasp a chunky chip size thing and the point now is to make sure he's eating something so I'm going to have to spoon feed him something :confused:

    Did I mention that my hotmilk nursing bra is ace? It kinda helps push my boobs up to a helpful height for Amber and she feeds so much better when I wear it :D

    Chocolate crispy with some cherries, sultanas, broken up meringue and bran flakes is in the fridge :D

    Thank you very much ladies - you are much better at internet searching than me:o. Waddles back over to pg thread:D

    LOL!! Is that why the mommies seem to hang around here for 6 months or so and then slowly disappear?
    Benjamin is into everything at the moment! He has also got a dose of separation anxiety which means he gets all upset every time I leave the room :rolleyes: so much for my independent baby!!!!

    Its a HUGE change isn't it? I sneek one here when they are both napping...and enjoy a cup of tea while its still hot!

    PS: Missed you! :D

    Don't get me wrong - I am not a jars and packets snob!! But I think Benjamin is :rotfl:

    Ready brek is suitable for babies :D
    We add our own fruit to make fruity porridge we have had banana, strawberry, raspberry, nectarine, plum and when I can be bothered apple or pear (have to cook and puree them!)

    Some of the additives in baby rice are appalling! I found that hipp organic baby rice had the least - just thiamin.


    Will be interesting to see what guidance you are given.

  • I think Sami bought hot milk ones to, if you did do you like yours?

    Are they as sexy as they look?
