I breastfeed my 7 month old but he's started biting 🫣 I've decidedly to now pump and give him bottled booble milk. Also trying to get more routine with bottles rather than just boobie whenever.

my baby is 5 days old and i can’t get him to sleep in his bassinet. he only wants to sleep on me/directly next to me. he’ll sleep on the couch if i’m sitting next to him but that’s it, only on me. i’ve tried leaving my clothes in there to make it smell like me, swaddling him, pacifier, patting him while shushing, it...

Hey mums! What time do you put your little ones to sleep? My girl is 15 weeks tomorrow, has 5/6oz every 3 hours or so and I put her to sleep at 10pm (she’ll sometime sleep all night until 6am).

Hello I’m looking for double pram recommendations for my 18 month old and would be newborn . I’ve seen a couple but I’ve heard tandems are too heavy and hard to navigate. And the side by side ones are the best. My issue is my son likes to be world facing and I like my newborn to be in a bassinet facing me so I can...

My baby is almost 5 months old and he will not stay asleep! It’s driving me insane. He takes his naps during the day, every night at 8pm I feed him his oatmeal with breast milk and follow that up with a 5oz bottle. He’ll fall asleep around 8:20-8:30 pm but then he’s up at 11pm.

I was sick… then my baby got sick. But my husband and my dad are sick too— and I definitely don’t breastfeed them. Someone (who doesn’t breastfeed) told me, “Pediatricians always tell moms that if they’re sick, they’ll pass it to their baby through breast milk.” I said, “Well… my pediatrician has never told me tha...

Okay so I’ve been trying to have my toddler on a decent sleep schedule, without any naps during the weekday since he’s in ABA center during the week. However, tonight he fell asleep at 7:20pm and now he’s up at 12:40am I know I gave him half melatonin, not sure if I should give him the other half so he can fall back...

How did you get your baby to sleep 4 hours at a time or when did your baby start sleeping 4 hours straight?

I bought some books for my LO when she was 1, just because I thought they’d be cute—haha. I didn’t grow up in a reading household (not even bedtime stories!), but now at 2, she’s obsessed with books. She’d rather read than play with toys! I haven’t done anything special to encourage it, so now I’m wondering— Is thi...

I’m ebf and my LO will be 8 weeks on the 22nd. She has had a bm atleast once a day since being born but now has gone 24 hours on two separate occasions this week without one. She’s still passing gas and is acting normal. I just don’t know if this is normal for this age when ebf??

I’ve started pumping more and breastfeeding less due to going back to the office. I’ve noticed I get bumps in my boobs more often even though I’m pumping every three hours. Any advice? I don’t have an oversupply.

My baby will be 7 weeks old on Monday and the past week has been awake from 4pm till he finally goes down at around 10pm. We start the bedtime routine from 8pm. I feel the 4 till 10 wake window is way too long and he gets overtired but he just won’t nap from then. Milk drunk is non existent these days 😣. Any tips…

When did you all get your period after birth?

I know some young newborns have trouble pooing but it thought it was meant to ease after a few weeks. when did your little ones find it easier and stop thrashing their legs around and straining all day/night? Thank you - a sleep deprived mum
