My little boy still sleeps in our room with us, I always planned to keep him in with us till he turned one (I think that’s what the NHS recommended) but then we found out he has sleep apnea so i’ve been too worried to have him sleeping in another room, but we have another little one due in May so I’m thinking it mig...

Ventured out, first time breastfeeding in public, I was so nervous about this. He wouldn't latch whilst under a blanket, so here we are exposed, so to speak, lol 😆

When does not crawling become a worry? My little one is 8 months and won’t even attempt to crawl. She can walk while holding our fingers and is constantly pulling herself up to stand on things so i know it’s not a strength problem. When we do tummy time she just rolls herself over and won’t entertain the thought of...

I still contact nap with my 10m old. Just wondering when you guys stopped if at all 😅 I rock her to sleep at night and transfer her and she does fine sleeping through the night in her crib. She just will not nap in there.

What time are your babies going to bed at 4, almost 5 months? We have tried an earlier bedtime but it just results in lots of wakings and an early morning so we aren't putting him down until 9:30/10 but found then he will sleep until 7/8am! I've read so many conflicting things saying they should be getting 12 hours ...

How many naps and how long do they sleep for?

How old were your LO’s when you let them sleep in your bed with you with no bassinet?

My toddler is 18 months Can he have some of my milk? I recently gave birth

My 5 month old has suddenly stopped taking a bottle! Any tips on what to do? I breastfeed mostly so usually isn’t an issue but I’m planning on going out in a couple of weeks and ideally need him to take a bottle of either breast milk or formula…..

I hang out with a "friend" and she know i don't breastfed and use formula. She also knows the reasons that led me to make that decision. The other day I was complaining how my baby gets sick since she joined nursery and tells me thats not the case for them and that I should try to give hik breast milk because that ...

Hey guys! Just looking for advice really. My 5 week old little boy has gone from doing 5-6 poops a day to 1 explosive one every 24 hours or so. It’s been like this for a few days, he gets combination fed formula and Breastmilk and has done for weeks and has always been fine. He seems so uncomfy has a hard belly and ...

Please someone give me some hope. My son is 3 years and 4 months and is still yet to talk. He has been referred to speak and language and ENT (hearing test came back fine) but all a waiting game. His understanding is amazing and he is at age expected for anything except his communication. I am so worried for when he...

What time do your babies go to bed? Mine goes to bed about 6/6:30.

Do you wash your hands after every nappy/diaper change?

Am I wrong? My in laws both smoke. I am fully aware of how dangerous second and third hand smoke is to a child. Our little boy is 13 months. When he was born we made it very clear if they had been smoking they had to remove their jacket before giving him a hug. MIL doesn't like the idea and even sometimes had to be...

What’s everyone’s opinions on drinking and breastfeeding. I pump my milk and I’m going on my first night out PP next Friday. I’ve been told so many different things, one drink should be given 2-3 hours then some people say if you can find baby you can feed baby. Just wondering what everyone does when they’ve been dr...

How do I go about sterilising the nuby rapid cool and how frequently do I need to do so? For reference, I have a UV steriliser. I’m not sure if the top digital bit can be sterilised or soaked in sudsy water. I will also be using a thermos flask for the hot shot method. Apart from washing it in warm soapy water, rin...

They only wake up once during the night now, but it’s been so difficult mentally this week and each time I keep forgetting to change her belly and feel awful 😭 Never leaked through or pooped overnight but did it make me a bad parent?

No judgement!! Just curious.. What sleep training methods have people tried? Either with October babies or previous children? What has actually worked?

Anyone else’s baby wakes up several times in the night and just screams? When I say several times I mean every 1-2 hours. The only way he stops screaming to feed him (BF) he also does this when he wakes up from his naps early too. He will not tolerate or accept comfort in any other form than to be fed. 😭😭
