I have a three-month-old baby and I want to carry on breastfeeding but get embarrassing damp patches on my clothes, even with breast pads. Help!

I, too, have had this problem. But now that I am feeding my fourth baby, at last there is a breast pad available that works well for me and lasts all day. It's made by Lansinoh, is thin, discreet, super-absorbent and individually wrapped, so easy to keep in your bag or pocket. Available from Mothercare, some branches of Waitrose and through the NCT.

My son is six and constantly wets himself during the day. He's seen doctors and specialists, but to no avail. Now he is being teased at school. Any advice?

Check that your doctors have considered contributory factors such as constipation, urinary infection, worms or diabetes. Anxiety and stress are part of the cause and effect, so try Confid Essence, an Australian bush remedy that boosts self-esteem, as well as containing dog rose, which is recommended for urine control; encourage him to give himself seven drops twice a day (order on 0800 389 8195). Calcium and magnesium taken daily will help reduce anxiety and improve muscle control. B vitamins aid in relieving stress; vitamin A, cod liver oil, vitamin E and zinc help the muscles of the bladder function normally. Fizzy drinks and caffeine exacerbate the problem, while the artificial sweetener aspartame irritates the bladder. It would be best if he drinks lots of water instead. Food allergy can irritate the bladder, leading to weak control, so take him to a nutritionist for a food-allergy test and advice (British Association for Nutritional Therapy, 0870 606 1284).
