Sma althera

My little one was prescribed this milk for suspected cmpa. I gave her 3 bottles and each time projectile vomited the whole bottle up, more than what she would normal milk. Is this common when changing milks?

What happens after a sleep regression?

Looking to pick some experienced mums brains please 🙏 Everyone talks about them when they are happening, usually lots of dread and negativity. But what is it like after? How do you know when you’re out the other side? What if baby was a good sleeper before, good self soother, will they go back to being like that?…

How are you coping with crying?

My LG has just started leap 8 and along with this has come days full of tears and tantrums, refusing to eat, poor sleep (can’t see any sign of new teeth so don’t think it’s teething). She’s always been so easy and content that this is completely out of character from anything before this. This is the hardest stage I...

Hand foot and mouth

I know the answer to this but I think I'm being hopeful. We're suppose to be going to my sisters for boxing day and my nephew has just started with HFM. Can we still go or am I best to avoid?

Crying after breastfeeding

My little one is 10 weeks old, and in the past few days or so, he’s started crying after every feed. He starts bobbing off the boob, or stops latching properly so I assume he’s finished, and when I take him off fully he screams and cries! I eventually get a burp and some sick out and then he calls down, but wonderin...

Cybex Cloud T I-size car seat

Can someone please tell me why all of a sudden my 8 month olds head flops forward when asleep in the car?!???? I get so so worried driving, as sometimes there no where safe to stop and reposition his head. Does this mean he’s too big for the seat? Are my back seats to slanted? Am I putting him in wrong?

Sleeping through the night

Hi! FTM here. My lo will be 4 weeks on Tuesday, and she has slept through the night the past 2 nights. She slept 9 hours one night and 8 hours last night. And she’s slept 7 hours one night last week.
