Baby

Feeling so tired, my baby doesn’t want to settle at night and can take hours to do so, my husband has gone back to work and has to wake up at 4.30am and last night he only got an hours sleep because of the baby being unsettled and me feeding him; Should I move to another room to feed my baby? I feel like it’s goin...

I have a friend who stopped nursing around 2 weeks for both babies. And anytime any of our friends have a slight issue with nursing she immediately goes "oh you should probably just quit, have you tried adding formula?" Theyll literally be struggling ln like day 5 and shell be like oh its probably not going to work ...

I don’t know if I love my baby, or even like her… Feels awful to say, but does/has anyone else felt the same way? And if so, does it get better? (5 months old)

I personally think there 100% is. All I got when I was pregnant was bombarded by midwives at every appointment telling me how easy vaginal births are and women just get up and walk right out of the hospital and my doula constantly telling me you’re body was made for this it’s going to be amazing. I did not find my...

For anyone who’s successfully managed to collect enough to fill a syringe - how long did it take before you could produce more than a drop or two? I tried for the first time tonight but only managed to get a couple of drops from each nipple!

I have it in my birth plan to get the epidural as soon as I’m admitted (I have to be 6cm to be admitted) but I’m scared about the pain I’ll feel when giving birth even with the epidural.. to the moms who had the epidural can you please share your experience 🙏

My LO is 3.5 weeks and he typically drinks expressed breast milk every 2-3 hours. He finds drinking 4oz usually no problem and sometimes I have to top him up with another oz or put him on the boob. He was born at just over 38 weeks and was 6lb8oz so wasn’t a big baby but loves his grub - doesn’t matter whether it’s...

How often should I bathe my 7 week old? So far I’m doing every couple days but I’m looking to move it to every night as part of a bedtime routine but I’m unsure if this will be bad for his skin?

My mom and I got into a fight over my baby registry because she thinks I’m weird if I start sending it to people and I’m 11 weeks pregnant. Is it too early? If so, when should I start sending it?

Hi moms, so my husband and I are separated due to marital issues, but living in the same house. Our relationship is going okay, but we made this agreement that I will sleep with my 3.5months baby 4 times per week (during the week) in the same bedroom as i’m on maternity leave, and he will sleep with the baby in the ...

I was an amateur bodybuilder and trained up until a week before I gave birth - I'm now 2 weeks pp and stepped into my gym for the first time in 3 weeks (I've never had that long off before!). I'm only doing very lightweight things, focusing on pelvic floor and bodyweight exercises, gradually getting myself into lift...

Struggling to establish a good bedtime routine for my 3 month old. Trying to reduce the number of night awakenings but I only seem to find routines for formula babies. Can you let me know what you do on bath nights and non bath nights? Where do feeds fall into this bedtime routine? Currently got myself in the pick...

Just wondering how many are still exclusively breastfeeding as I saw a stat that suggests only 1% of U.K. babies are exclusively breastfed at 6 months but it was an old study so wondering what that looks like in this group :)!

My LO is 5 months and Im really struggling with a routine for him, he is also waking up 4+ times a night recently. We did aim for a 7-8pm bedtime but this doesn't seem to work when he refuses naps which then get delayed which results In delayed bed time. Currently he has just fallen asleep for his final nap of the d...

What times are babies having their bottles? Like what’s their routines? I am moving from breastfeeding to formula and just wanted to get a gist of timings that people are doing x Also do you do dreamfeed?

Hi, just a quick question, how much formula takes your baby at 1 month old? As we don't have a feeding pattern yet, sometimes mine is taking 90ml, sometimes 60ml, sometimes she's crying for more than 90.. but I'm worried to give her more as she has reflux. But she's crying for more food and obviously the hunger cues...
