My girl is 4 weeks old tomorrow. So far we’ve been putting her in the next to me cot but she’s starting to struggle getting to sleep now and just wants to sleep whilst being held. I’m open to cosleeping but I’ve just been a bit afraid so far. Every time I try we end up facing each other both on our sides but I’m not...
Moms please help. My boy just turned 8 months old and we are desperately trying to put him on to formula but it’s proven to be difficult. He probably like the comfort of BF. My hubby tried couple of time during the day and I tried as well before putting to sleep but he only takes a small amount. We trying to give it...
Hi, my babies been having cold feet which turn purple but then go back to their usual feet within a few minutes. Probably from like birth it’s been happening. I’ve mentioned it to the doctors but they said her breathing and everything is fine just to keep an eye on it. I worry it will be a problem later on… has anyo...
Has anyone gone through their toddler hitting them or not wanting them whilst they’ve been pregnant? I have a 2YO and I’m currently pregnant. Before pregnancy, my LO was obsessed with me and didn’t let anyone do anything for him if it wasn’t me but since finding out about being pregnant and including him in the jou...
Sooo is anyone else going through this right now? Lol. I didn't think this would be a huge thing, if anything at all since I had Munchkin on a really great schedule (sleeping wise) & he was ready to go to sleep between 7-8 every single night like clockwork. Like literally no matter what activity we were doing or wha...
How much colostrum are people taking to the hospital? Last time I took everything that I pumped and then lost it all because it wasn’t stored properly when handed over to the midwives (left on the side somewhere to go off). I obviously want to avoid that this time but I’m also trying to exclusively pump into bot...

Is my baby going through some sort of regression? Last night for example, she slept at 8.35, was awake at 9.30 and I rocked her back to sleep. She then woke again at 10.50 and was up for 2 hours, I rocked her back to sleep several times and everytime I put her back down she would wake up. I fed her on one of these o...
How long after army crawling did your little ones begin to crawl properly or did they just stick to army crawling? x Edited to add another question, when babies were learning to crawl were you letting them be frustrated and shouty when they were trying to get a toy they can’t reach or were you passing it back to th...
Is it okay for my 10 week old to be sleeping through the night? He feeds loads during the day (he’s formula fed) and he’s a big boy he’s just about to move into 6-9month clothing🥲 so he’s growing loads. I just don’t know if I should be waking him up in the night? We do demand feeding so he always lets me know when…
Looking for opinions on the best baby carriers, I’ve not announced pregnancy so don’t want to ask on social media etc and google is giving mixed reviews. I have a bad back and so does my partner, so anything that is a bit more secure in those areas. We do a lot of walking and days out also, so would like suitable fo...
I have a 2 year old IVF baby and we’d like to try for another one, but not sure if we’ll be successful. Anyway I feel so guilty about a new baby taking away from my time with my daughter. I’m sure this is something most mums worry about, but can someone tell me if this normal 😂 If we do have another baby I’ll love…
Hi, Did anyone used a reflux pillow for babies after feeding? My baby 3 weeks old, has to stay elevated for at least 15-20 minutes after feeding so the milk won’t come out. Currently we are using a normal pillow and we are keeping her in an angle on our legs or in our arm, but I don’t think it’s good for her back fo...
How many nappies are people taking into hospital? 🤔
So my little one is 8 weeks and she has a routine of coming up about 10.30 and having a bedtime feed. I was just wondering when people start implementing an earlier routine of 7ish.
My 6 week old has been really troubled with trapped wind for the last week or so especially. He winds well during feeds, we normally get a burp after every oz but he’s still so uncomfortable, bringing his legs up and strains frequently trying to pass wind. I’ve noticed that it could be to do with his latch or the bo...
