Discussion Issue

Do/did you have a nesting instinct whilst pregnant?

Many women experience the nesting instinct whilst pregnant - the urge to clean, tidy and organise everything in their lives. This is said to be a primal instinct and usually starts in around the fifth month of pregnancy but it is often the most intense in the last few days before labour. Some women experience a very strong instinct, others not so much. Some find it is an indication that labour is near.

Do/did you have a nesting instinct whilst pregnant? If so was it strong? Did you find it strongest towards the end of your pregnancy? What sort of things did you have the urge to clean/tidy/organise? If you have more than one child did you find it was different with each pregnancy?

New Parenting Tips

Homemade Nutritious Icy-Poles
You can make healthy and delicious homemade icy-poles for your baby by using plastic icy-pole moulds and filling them with different fillings like fruit juice, yoghurt (plain or fruit), stewed fruit or flavoured milk (make it a little stronger as freezing seems to reduce the flavour). You could also try cordial or lemonade for a treat. They are small and easy for kids to eat.

Don't Go Back When Weaning
If you are trying to wean your baby from breastfeeding or bottle feeding, once you have made the decision to completely stop, don't be tempted to go back. If you let them have "just one more go" this sends conflicting and confusing messages to your baby. Stay firm with your decision - it generally only takes a few days for babies to get over being weaned. If they are 12 months or less in particular they will forget about it fairly quickly.
