Is this ok to eat when pregnant ? I get worried whenever I don’t see pasteurised
Baby’s currently 12 weeks old and we are staying at my partners mums at nye and I’m dreading it because idk how baby will sleep in a new environment and also in her pram as we can’t take her next to me unfortunately. So we’ve been doing the same routine for weeks and she’s been sleeping through the night since about...
My 3yo (almost 4) has been awake since 5am. At 7 I made breakfast for her, put the telly on, and told her I was gonna go rest for a bit (I didn't go to sleep until midnight as was doing chores we'd been out all day). There's no dangers in that room, and no choking risks in her breakfast. I've literally only just wok...
I’m wanting advice please. My baby is almost 9 weeks old. Since he had his 8 week jabs he’s been sleeping for most of the day. Due to this, it’s taking ages to get him down when it’s actually bedtime and then he’s waking around 2am and isn’t sleeping again till around 8am no matter what we try. Will he just grow out...
I'm getting so stressed! No matter what we do, change teat size and brand, change formula, try Gaviscon etc my 7 week old will not drink more than 2oz sometimes 1oz! He's now 10lb 5oz at 7 weeks and seems to be putting on weight, but I see other babies drinking 4-6oz at this age. Is there anything that has helped fo...
To start we've had little practical support. No one has ever had my lo for more than a couple of hours... other than nursery. My inlaws have only ever had my lo (now 4) for an hour tops alone. There's now talk of him sleeping over theirs (an hour drive away) Firstly it's a bit too little too late in my eyes. Se...
My daughter is 14 months old. About a week ago she fell off the chair and her gums started bleeding. The bleeding settled in a couple of hours but she had pain that she could not eat anything solid for 2 days and could not breastfeed too. Although I am already giving her milk apart from breast milk. But now she has ...
I want to but my nerves always get the best of me (I would be mortified if someone accidentally saw my boob) & I end up just going to my car or a room with just the two of us. Yesterday, I tried to nurse her with a cover while we were at a holiday party at my brother’s place & she haaated it. Like mommy why are you...
We've been sleep training using the Ferber method & had amazing results. He's gone from 1-2 hourly wake ups to sleeping 8 hours in 3 days. He now wakes up at 4am and last night was awake for an hour before I caved and got him into bed with me? Any advice for helping them sleep those last 3 hours in their cot?
I don't know whether to leave her a little longer to see if she self settles. I probs only give her 2mins max (feels way longer but I checked my camera and I'm getting her between 2 to 3 mins) What does everyone else do? For info she's still in our room as we have temporarily moved into my parents house for 3 mo...
If any of your little ones are suffering from this awful reflux, I highly recommend you do a food diary and see if there’s any links. I did this and have since figured out it appears my daughter has a dairy intolerance. I breast feed so have cut it out of my diet. She is also no longer having Gaviscon as a side effe...
How are you dealing with unsolicited advice? I usually either brush it off, argue my case or use it as a teaching moment for ppl who are just clueless. But yesterday it all got too much because someone who knows not to, kissed my baby and others commented on her contact napping and I just LOST my shit 😅 Some of…
Are people changing their LOs nappy before each feed during the day as well as at night?
Hi all, my 3 months old baby has suddenly decided to refuse taking the bottle. She won't suck, just sort of mouths it and then screams, sometimes even to the point of gargling and sounding like she's choking with the bottle in. And we take it out, she screams will more. She’s been really hard to settle for bed at n...
OK, so how do you do all this?! Do you just tell the baby, ok - this is what happens at this hour - and hope they comply?! Lol seems like a load of crap 💩 🤔😅 This is me venting. I saw this and started laughing out loud - through tears lol
Hi, wanted to know how much milk your 2 month olds are drinking and every how often? My baby exclusively breastfeeds during the day and from 6pm 9pm and sometimes 12am (if she's awake) she will have a 5oz bottle. I'm finding she's finishing this very quickly! To the point where I'm having to top up with my breast mi...
My two week old has not had a poo on 48 hours, I’m getting concerned however she is absolutely fine and happy in herself and showing no signs of discomfort. Also she is still feeding really well (formula fed). Any advice? I will obviously phone midwife later today if nothing has happened. X
I went to a Christmas party last night and I got shitty wasted. I’m hungover AF and feel like absolute shit. Idk when i should breastfeed again. if i wait the two hours per drink i probably won’t be able to breastfeed for a week LOL. When can i safely breastfeed again?
So my 1 year old is just obsessed with his dad. He always wants him to pick him up and cries the house down when he has to leave for work or goes into a different room without him. Is this normal?
Hi all, Just wondering whether anyone can relate or help! My 5 month old has suddenly over the last 3 nights started waking up at 2:45/3am and will NOT settle for around an hour or 2. We have resulted in feeding her after the first hour of crying and then she’ll slowly settle however before this she stopped having...
