Baby rotating round the next to me like a clock at night??

Does anyone else’s baby do this ? I put her in her cot vertically and wake up to her horizontal. First time I’ve caught it on the baby monitor tonight (didn’t record her actually doing it but the before or after with ‘scene changed’ notification). She’s 6 weeks old?!? Do I leave her to do this? When I move her back ...

So sick of unsolicited comments from people about my babies ultrasound photos first my aunt says the baby has a mean face last month then today the technician at the hospital said the baby looks “grumpy”how should my baby look? Smh over it

It’s just comments but it’s also hurtful as a first time mom like who wants to hear comments on their babies looks even before she comes out the womb. Just venting but has this ever happen to you ?

Umbilical Cord not Fallen Off

Hi all, baby girl is 1 week and 5 days old. However her umbilical cord still hasn’t fallen off. We noticed it bleeding the other day so we took her to A&E to make sure it wasn’t infected and it wasn’t but they did say it isn’t healing much under the clamp, whereas the top is fully healed. They’ve told us to keep an ...

So I've avoided mentioning contact naps and night wakes successfully for months. I live far from my family and mentioned it in context to clocks changing upsetting our routine. Baby is 14 months for context. Now my mum has twice told me this week that I need to stop contact naps because I need to have a life, beca...

Baby waking up at 5am

Hello mommas! My 5 month old baby has been waking up at 5am for 2 weeks now. He goes to bed around 6-7pm. Yesterday I tried letting him sleep later like 7:45, and still he woke up at 5am.

Sterilising bottles and pump parts

How often should I be sterilising my baby’s bottles and pumping parts? I normally breastfeed and pump twice a day, give a bottle 1-2 times a day. I wash the bottles immediately but what about sterilisation?

Formula and solids

I've started giving food to my little one. She eats quite well considering we have only just started, she usually eats 15-20 spoon fulls. Because of this I am skipping a feed when she eats, which in my case would be 150 ml of formula. I usually gave her 150 ml 7 times a day. I feel she's hungrier jn the evenings. T...

Formula question

So my baby is almost 4 weeks and I was told to ensure they are fed 8 feeds within a 24 hour period and no longer than 3 hours between feeds. On the back of the formula tub it mentions feeds of 5-7 within a 24 hour period which would mean longer stints between feeds. Any ideas? I’m so confused.

Boobs leaking

Is there anything I can do to help stop this issue? My little one sleeps through from 8-1:30 each night, then feeds from one boob and goes back to sleep until about 5:30. The issue is, one boob always leaks so much during this time, and the other gets really engorged (not painful) Is there anything I can do to stop...

Feeling like a bad partner

I think me and my boyfriend are going through a bit of a room mate phase and I hate it. He's out at work all day then comes home and does the whole bedtime routine with our LG. She then sleeps on me for the evening so he then makes us our dinner, tidies the kitchen, lets the dog out in the garden when needed and al...
