Anyone else in this impossible spot? My almost 1 day old has been on the boob since we came back from the hospital this evening, I haven't slept in 2 days and I forgot how hard this is 😭 I don't know how much longer I can just stay awake with him on the boob, I've already had 2 meltdowns 😭

WARNING VERY LOUD VIDEO She doesn't seem to be in any pain and has been fed, napped, and entertained. But she shrieks and screams playfully often during her wake windows. Google says it can be normal excitement but can also mean discomfort or frustration. Does anyone else have experience? Is this a normal thing f...

I see so many posts on here regarding babies of a similar age sleeping through the night. My little one currently still does 2 night feeds. He is formula fed and goes to bed for 7pm and wakes up for a feed between 11:30 and 12:30pm and then again between 3-4pm. Does anyone else’s baby still wake for 2 night feeds? ...

I had my baby in January, but sex still hurts? It’s not just uncomfortable it feels like I am completely ripping open again?

Hi there, since my baby was born he hated being in his back in the bassinet, it only seems to be getting worse as he’s breast feeding a ton more. He sounds like he can’t breathe properly, loose phlegm like and makes choking sounds, this happens regularly but worsens on his back. We brought him to ER not long ago and...

Its not even like the nappies are full, but he’s soaked through a sleeping suit and sleeping bag and mattress cover like multiple times a night? Im so confused his willy is down theres no reason for the constant leakage?!

My cheeky boy was born this morning and has been so chilled laying down in his crib or on our bed (alone, not held) at the hospital, but now he just wants to feed constantly and be on the boob 😭 Is it just mine? I haven't had even a little rest since 2 nights ago so I'm starting to feel it 😰 SEND HELPPP

Hi Looking for advice on child benefit how long did yours take to come through? I applied on 22nd April and still have not heard anything. Thanks

So I have a 9 month old baby boy, When you calm him he won’t always respond to his name, he will sometimes look at you but not always, he used to say mumma and stop, he will now occasionally say it, but says dadda all the time, he will sometimes clap, is he hitting milestones or should I be concerned, I’m worried t...

Absolutely exhausted😩 My girl doesn't want to sleep. She is 6 weeks. Didn't sleep today during her walk, barely slept during the day. I just spent 3 hours putting her to bed, she fell asleep for 5 minutes and woke up again screaming. I haven't slept more than 2-3 hours for 3 days. It's even worse than when she…

I made these bottles up fresh last night and put them in the fridge straight away, but they’ve separated overnight. Is it safe to shake and warm for baby?

So I've use a bath support support for my little since she was born but the last couple of times I've bathed her she just won't lay down and wants to sit right up. Any suggestions on what I can use instead, please anyone??

Hello! We want to move our 6 month to the bigger cot as she’s getting too big for the snuzpod and isn’t able to move as much as she’d like I don’t think. Unfortunately the cot doesn’t fit in our room though so she’ll be in the nursery. LO is EBF and I currently feed to sleep (occasionally partner bounces). As she’s...

How do you mums help yourself get back to sleep after doing night feeds or comforting ? Oo is in his own room now second night but I’m finding it super hard to get sleepy after the back and fourths for an hour Any tips (everywhere is dark with only dim nightlight)

My baby has been FUSSY since she turned 4 months. Not wanting to take the bottle, she learned to shut her lips tight to avoid feedings & pacifiers. She also learned how to lift herself off of my arms and bassinet with her legs. Let’s not forget…. the crying!!!! She’s usually a very happy baby but these 4 months has ...

I’m currently in the third trimester of my first Bub and I’m starting to really resent my family… i grew up in a really hard and abusive home and whilst my mum isn’t with my step dad anymore she still treats me the same as she did then. I don’t know if this is because she feels guilty but has to much ego to ever act...

How do people time their feed to the next one, do you time it from when the feed begins or ends?

Anyone else trying for a baby whilst breastfeeding? We planned on stopping breastfeeding at 1 year old if we haven't got pregnant and now that's next month's and I don't know what to do. I want to get pregnant but love breastfeeding and my son loves it too so a bit conflicted. We're desperate for another baby so the...
