So I’ve oiled my daughters hair to loosen what I think is cradle cap, and her hair is coming out in clumps. Does anyone have any ideas on methods to help with cradle cap at all? They say that loosing hair is normal but this looks quite scary!
Hi mamas!! My boy is almost 6 months and I still have to rock him to sleep.. I have friends who can just put their babies down and they will sooth themselves to sleep but my baby just screams if I leave him. I don’t mind doing it at all I’m just worried it’s not normal for him to not be able to put himself to sleep?...
So I was born with a lip tie and had surgery when I was 15 as they wouldn’t do it any earlier my baby is 5 weeks old and was 4 weeks premature, they only checked for a tongue tie but I’ve noticed she has two pieces of the skin where the lip tie is, I can’t find anything online about it.. has anyone else seen or had ...
So disheartening😭 I’m 37+2 and I tried harvesting today for the first time and honestly barely got 0.1. I know people say don’t be disheartened and it takes time but I just can’t help but feel I might not be able to give baby what he needs. I went into a nice hot bath, tired to relax and watched a 100 videos on…
Listen I love having sex with my partner and we have been crazy sexually active since day one but the last few weeks he’s been obsessed with my nipples. He’s also been like hand expressing colostrum and I think it’s a major turn on for him… should I have him stop? Will this cause an issue nursing and pumping down th...
My baby has just turned 3 weeks. First two weeks were a dream until around a few days ago where he has been SCREAMING In agony with what can only really be his Bowels. He isn’t constipated to my knowledge as he is able to pass motion however the build up to the motion is really distressing for him and us as parent...
It feels so unreal. Anyone else use this travel system ? Me and my boyfriend tried it out and we love it. So lightweight, easy to move around and fold 💗
What time does your 7/8 week old go to bed and do you go at the same time? How often do they wake for a feed/change in the night?
Anyone else feel EXTREMELY overwhelmed in regards to skincare? I REALLY want glowy skin that's even in colour but when I think of all the products you have to buy (that might not even work) to achieve flawless skin, it's so daunting & expensive 😩🤣.. I just want to find 1 or 2 products that gives me the skin of my…
Hello, I’m sorry that this is quite personal - but earlier today I was having a bath and noticed that my nipples were leaking what looked like milk. When I’ve squeezed them both, they’re both leaking this very white substance. My little girl is almost 5 months old and I’ve never breastfed her, she’s always been form...
Is anyone else?? Both my mum and MIL keep making comments about how we’re making a rod for our own backs by letting our daughter contact nap on us in the day and giving these really patronising eye rolls as if we’re stupid first time parents. It really frustrates me! Right now it’s the only way we can get her to sle...
What are people doing for daytime sleep spaces? My carrycot pram says it's sleep safe so thought I could push that into the lounge? I also have the snuzpod4 where you can buy the stand separately so could just buy a spare stand and bring the crib part downstairs every day? Just don't know if it's worth buying a mose...
Hiiiiya! Just needing some advice or help. My little one is 4 months now, and basically he will not go to sleep without being rocked, shhh’d, pats on the bum - even with this he screams for a good 10 minutes until falling asleep for maybe 30 minutes. We follow wake windows and watch for sleepy cues but he just fight...
Is this crawling or does it only count when she’s on her hands and knees?🤣🤣
