JuliaPan @JuliaPan (564) • Canada 28 Feb 07

How often do you feed your infants? I've a got a 6 months old little one and during the day I feed him with formula about every 2.5-3 hours. Isn't it too frequently? I would be glad to hear a word from more experienced moms.:)

Favourite Citroen

JuliaPan @JuliaPan (564) • Canada 28 Feb 07

Mine is Xsara and C3. Unfortunately, Xsara will not be produced any more. C3 is so compact and cute, it's more a car for youth, not really for families with kids. And what is your favourite Citroen model?
