Baby

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm curious. How long is your newborn latching for at a time during breastfeeding - not the entire duration, but like each time they latch on? Is it for a few seconds, minutes? Do they latch for the full duration?! I'm kind of losing my mind at the moment with the frequency of my little one losing…

my son is 16mo and he still exclusively breastfeeds other than his actual meals and snacks, and i’m trying to establish no more boobie, at least 1 nap and at bedtime. i just tried to say no to the boob for a full hour, and i literally think this kid will die if he doesn’t get the boob. after a full hour of him not g...

My boy is 14 weeks and still has about an inch and a half space in the bassinet for the mamas and papas ocarro. However, he now gets very frustrated not being able to see very much when he’s awake in the pram. I’ve been popping the hood down when appropriate so he can see a bit more but I don’t think this will enter...

I have an ebf 6mo baby and understandably, since he’s so young, he gets inconsolable when I’m gone for more than 3 hours. It’s probably because I spend every day with him as I’m in mat leave! I’m not looking for reassurance because I know it’s normal and he’s used to me being around, but I want to know: If you had...

I’m suspecting my fiancé of cheating we have a child due next month and wanted to put him to the test, will anyone be willing to help me ( preferably black woman as that is his type)

Myself and my partner have been cosleeping with our daughter since she was around 12 weeks (she’s now 9 months). I’m really starting to struggle with it due to my back being so sore from lying in c curl position every night and my LO is also waking more and more in the night to the point that cosleeping isn’t helpin...

Hi ladies, I'm feeling quite anxious about whether I'll be able to breastfeed. Throughout my pregnancy, I haven’t noticed any signs except for slightly achy breasts, and it’s making me worry that I won’t produce or produce enough milk once the baby arrives. I really want to exclusively breastfeed, so the uncertainty...

I don’t have syringes just the blue cup container how long can I keep adding to it before I have to freeze and can I keep putting it straight in the container that I’m going to store it in ? And how do I clean the cup I’m collecting my colostrum in can I just wash as normal ?

Hello, This is my first post, and I’m a bit concerned about my relationship with my baby. I feel like she is frequently upset when she’s in my arms or that she just wants me when she needs to be fed. I don’t have (or at least I don’t think I have…) an emotional connection with her yet, but not because I don’t love...

Do you manage to find any time to do anything apart from looking after the baby during the day? My little one doesn't nap for more than 20mins twice a day, so I find it impossible to do anything - taking a shower, having a breakfast, even doing the dishes or making a quick dinner. His dad helps out with this, but I ...

What do we class as sleeping through the night? I see some people saying oh they sleep through - 12 hours with 1 wake. But the wake would imply not sleeping through surely? Last night my boy did his longest ever stretch of 7hr15. Is this sleeping through? It was 11pm-6.15am

I’ve never been one for BLW. My LG loves to eat and will eat (anything and everything) so the blender has been my best friend up to press lol. I also feel overwhelmed with what to make her or give her. Anyways today has felt like a success! Prepped- egg muffins, tomato to purée ham and DF cheese wheels and flapj...

Asking because I'm considering getting it done after I give birth this summer or early fall depending on how things go

I’m unsure if it’s just me and I hope what I’m feeling is normal but in the beginning when my baby was small and a new born I totally understood why everyone wanted to pass our baby around for a cuddle. He was small and cute and cuddly and although my hormones made me want my baby back I did it so everyone can get a...
