		<title>Baby Gender Predictions&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Baby Gender Predictions…

She and her husband are convinced that they are having a girl, based on the fact that she was so sick throughout her first trimester. Once upon a time, I might have bought that logic, but I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breastfeeding: Damned if you Do, Damned if you Don’t!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The very mention of the breast versus bottle debate unleashes unlimited contention and passion in the modern motherhood arena. The “breast is best” campaign powerfully promotes the numerous benefits of breast milk, or so-called “liquid gold”, over formula milk and the World Health Organisation “strongly recommends” exclusive breastfeeding for baby’s first six months.

		<title>Do Grannies need Mumsnet?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why don’t babies come with manuals? It’s a question new moms often ask, but if you think motherhood is tricky try being a modern Granny.
