Hi mamas! I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on getting my daughter to talk more, she’s almost 2 and I don’t expect her to speak full sentences but she’s only really saying mama and dada. What was the best way you were able to teach them to talk more, we read books, sound things out, say things slow but no...

Currently EBF, if they sleep through the night please comment when they done so😊 Also if you made the transition from EBF to formula did you notice a difference with sleep? Really struggling with sleep at the moment! I would really appreciate peoples answers xxx

Hey. My baby is 5 weeks, seems to be quite colicky (some days worse than others) and finds it difficult to poo. It’s really hard to burp her but she’s very gassy which just ends up trapped and sometimes results in reflux. Only twice she’s brought back up some of her bottle. There’s a lot of cries in pain before a bo...

My little boy is on Kendamil first infant milk however we have just found out he has colic and the milk doesn’t seem to help🥺 I’ve done some research and Kendamil does both organic milk and comfort milk. Has anyone’s babies got colic & on any of the above? If they are which one are they on? & did you see an…

Hey, just wondered if anyone had applied for a first passport for their little ones recently and was wondering how long they are roughly taking to turn up at the moment? Tia 😊

I’ve recently just had my 2nd child 4 weeks ago and have a recently just turned 2 year old. Since having my 2nd child I’ve found myself really struggling day to day and recently I’ve started to feel as though I’m not cut out for motherhood at all. My 1st child has constant ear infections and awaiting surgery and my...

Has anyone switched to the seat, particularly on a bugaboo? My twins are 4 months and debating switching my bigger twin to the seat. I switched my older son at 4 months but a mammas and papas pram which did lie totally flat. We’re going away tomorrow and it would save so much car space also she’s happier looking aro...

I had my 37w midwife app today & I was looking at my notes after and she has put the following - VIT K/ new born screening discussed & questions answered. Firstly she didn’t discuss either of these with me, so I didn’t ask any questions to be answered so that’s annoying that she’s lied on the notes, but I also do...

I’m going to be quite vulnerable but I need to just get this all out! It will also be quite long but any advice or your own experiences are greatly appreciated! I had my little one by emergency C-Section on the 24th and have had a really rocky start. My induction took 5 days and was in one day prior so was alread...

My baby is 9 months and still not sleeping through. He goes to bed at 7pm and wakes up around 11/12 for more bottle then wakes up again about 4.30/5 for another feed then tends to sleep until anytime between 7am and 8am. Any advice on how to get him to sleep through? He has about 3 meals a day sometimes 2 so he has ...

My baby is 6 weeks today. I'm a first time mummy and in the last week myself and partner have noticed a big sleep regression with regards daytime sleep! There are very long periods where we just can't get her to settle and go off to sleep! Sometimes 5 hours in a row. Is anyone else experiencing this or has done in t...

I have really been looking after my hair since having my baby (he is 16mo). I use the colour wow shampoo & conditioner. Hair syrup oil before washing and heat protector before drying. I only wash and style my hair 1/2 times a week, so barely use heat. I also take the ‘my vitamins’ hair vitamins but feel as though it...

I feel like I’m back in the newborn stage, anyone else? My LO is being really irritable, not settling, waking up in the night when she use to sleep for longer! She is teething so I’m wondering if it’s that?

Is anyone using baby bubbles in their newborns bath time? My little one is 1 month old and I’ve just been bathing him in water. I’ve been gifted some Aveeno baby daily care but it doesn’t state what age you can use it from. Looking at Child Farm as that brand seem really good.

What size teat and oz’s are your December babies on? My baby was born the 16th December so coming up to 4 months soon. He’s on size 1 teat and 5oz bottles, he seems to be fine with this but I’m starting to wonder should he go up one now with both things?

What nappies does everyone recommend? I want to use something organic as my LO has sensitive skin. Tried Kit and Kin which were great but don't have the wetness indicator line on them. Been using Beaming Baby bamboo this week but they keep leaking! Any suggestions welcome!

Hi mums! Do you have suggestions of high chairs? What are some things that you love (or dislike) about the ones you have now. Looking to start weaning in the next couple of months but would like the little one to start getting used to it. Thanks!

Hello all, I’m just curious what other families do because I’m not sure what is best as I’m a first time mom. Our son is due in June, and in our routine we watch a little show in bed before bedtime. But when the baby is here and he is sleeping in our room in the beginning do we stop doing that? How do you guys take ...

Hi lovely ladies. I wanted to check if anyone else is in the same boat. My baby is now 5 days old and is not on formula as my milk was not enough for him. I wanted to do both bottle and breast but he is not latching on 😞 I tried so many times and different positions but he is refusing. I’m pumping but I’m so…

We have been putting my Son down between 6/7 for a few weeks and he would go 6-8 hours from then before waking up for a feed. The last couple of nights we have put him down as usual and he has woken up within an hour and taken a while to settle back. Any ideas???
