Hi everyone! im currently completing my dissertation but need some information from local mothers. My topic is looking at mothers returning back to their careers after children and if a long gap makes a difference. Iv attached a word document that lists some questions that i will be focusing on, if anyone can complete this and send it to me at nabz_boodoo@yahoo.co.uk I would be very greatful! its only a short page of questions just asking about feelings, perspectives and assumptions when returning back to work pls email me if you have any questions! thanks so much! Nabz x

very helpful thread! was just about to write something about my 10 month old and slings!

Hi everyone I just wanted some general feedback on the title above How many mothers return to the old job after having children and the same career? I am writing my dissatation and my main topic is mothers returning back to work however what I have mostly found out is that mothers generally find it hard to return to their old careers especially if they do take a long gap before returning back to work Please let me know if you did this or not! thanks! Nabz x

Haha thank you for that sandy rose...dont think il be using gliter bombs any time soon!

Thanks again for your responses! Does anyone buy Kiehls products?

Thanks everyone for messages!! All your info and opinions are great and are a real help! As families is anyone more aware of price? Pls let me know anything about these companies and any other companies you think fit into this market. Does anyone think that buying these products are a waste of money and you would prefer to spend it on children or face creams and so on? Thanks!

hiya everyone Im doing a research paper for a new company that is thinking about entering the UK market. The are called 'STENDERS' and are a Europe brand. I just want to find out a little about what you think about both LUSH and THE BODY SHOP. (which would be their main competitors). which do you use if any? if you dont use one brand why not? does having a family affect this decision? any thoughts you have on these brand would be most welcome! I know everyone is busy with their little ones but any help would be much appreciated! and if you have time pls look at the STENDERS website and tell me your honest opinion, do you think they have what it takes to enter the UK body care market? http://www.stenders-cosmetics.com/ Thank so much!! nabz x

Just wanted to add my little girl had bad reaction to aptamil was always throwing up and so on! Changed to cow an gate and shes perfectly fine now :) i think the amount of powder you add in is different i think C&G use less amounts of powder for a feed then aptamil...

Im at the DMC too but never go in to book appointment if you call at opening times you usually have to wait a gd 10mins but they do eventually get to you and i get an appointment! x but tbh their still super crap... My daughter needed immulisations and they had no appointments for over two months!! So she was behind on getting them which really worried me x

Hi everyone i know this topic has been done to death but i really need some advice!! I currently have a cameleon that my daughter loves (shes 7 months) but im now going bk to work and my parents will have her on the weekend. They really dont understand how to use the cam and i think they find it quite overwhelming so i was initially going to buy them a cheap maclaren however after looking at some bugaboo bees i really do like them, i live in a flat and am always having trouble bringing the cam down however if i had a bee it would make my life so much easier! I will also be picking up my daughter from her childminder after university and thought the bee would be easy for me to bring along... Is the bee just as comfortable as the cameleon? Does it hold out in rain? Can babys sit in it for a while without feeling uncomfortable? My daughter can sleep for hours in the cam so am worried that she might feel uncomfortable in the bee :S advise pls? Thanks! Nabz x

sorry to steal this thread but does maxicosy pebble carseat fit in with bugaboo bee plus? x

personally i think its only reflux when babys in pain but im no GP! thats exactly how saf was happy still playing just throwing up on me after every meal! hmm i only changed from aptamil to cow and gate so not sure..perhaps do it slowly to not upset his stomach? how old is he? have you seen a difference in him since the prescribed formula? if hes stopped throwing up then perhaps its worked :D otherwise im not too sure on sma as never used it but im really not a fan of aptamil even though i know its mums number 1 brand, cow and gate has helped so much, my washing has deffinitly gone down and she doesnt need to be changed after every feed! nabz x

Hi there just thought il let you know the exact same thing happened to my daughter recently started mix feeding (she is 7 months old) and was constantly throwing up!! projectile vomit everywhere but she was in no pain just throwing up :S so i new it wasnt reflux and my gp said the same thing. i then realised it was aptamil formula she was on, i think it may have been too heavy for her? im now on stage 3 cow and gate and the vomiting has completly stopped. this formula requires more scoops so i assume that its not as heavy as aptamil. perhaps you could try buying a small box and testing it out? and your not rubbish! your doing whats best for your baby nabz x

Thank you very much for the advise iv just put an ad in the family classified section as il need it asap!

This thread is great! Im going with 7 month old to watch swimming on wed, i have no ear protectors should i get one? And can i bring my cooled boiled water in a thermos? Not sure how much water it holds but will double check! And i can bring my fully packed changing bag? That includes calpol formula powder and the rest of it x

I have a chameleon and take it everywhere! I dont drive so you an imagine i use public transport everyday! It takes some getting use to but i fit in all buses with no fuss, personally i like the bee because its so light but chameleon is so comfy for my 6 month old,as its wider and bigger i think it feels more comfy then the bee. She was using the bassinet till 6 months and feel asleep straight away so to me it was important to have :) nabz x

Yep i completly agree! I never went to nct classes and worked untill about 35 wreks so hadnt met anyone! So glad i decided to be brave and meet you wonderful ladies! And of course all those cute babies! Has made me feel alot more sane and human to have people understand exactly how i feel!

ah thats great to hear snowboarder!! as i didnt want to sling her as shes just so much more comfy in her pram and will prob sleep for longer too! i was a bit scared of buggy in crowds but im very excited now! nabz x

ah thank you for advice! so can i bring my changing bag nappies, cream, nappy bag formula and cooled boiled water? i dont carry the formula in the original box but a smaller clear box, is this allowed? did you bring babies food like normal? thank you!!

Hey everyone will deffinitly be there! Might get there for half 2 need to pop to bank first but also have to give saf lunch xxx nabeela
