On a weekday, she gets woken at 6.45am to get ready to go to nursery. She goes to bed at 7pm. She has 45mins-1 hour nap at about 11am. We can’t really change the morning time as I have to drop of to nursery and get to work for 8am so we need to leave the house by 7.20am. I usually get home between 6pm and 6.30pm in ...

I have just moved my baby into his own room in his cot as he has outgrown the next to me. He has started sleep on his side, would you move him back to his back or leave him? He can roll back to front and front to back.

It’s been almost 2 days since my baby has pooped. What can I do

Breastfeed baby only sleeps 30-45 mins when placed on back. She wakes up and wants boobies to fall back asleep and it’s causing her to be cranky and over eat. Causing her to spit up and be even more fussy. So tired. She’s cluster feeding because she’s tired. And it’s creating a viscous cycle. I noticed she was havin...

I’m seriously starting to consider checking myself into a psychiatric ward for a bit. I’m so mentally exhausted and keep regretting becoming a young mom. I’m only 20 and I keep thinking to myself “what have I done??” I keep feeling like I’ll never be anything but a mother ever again. I just wanna feel like my own pe...

My son (4mo) has a cold and when I lay him down, his nose blocks up and he wakes up within a few minutes. I thought about co-sleeping to comfort him but the problem will still remain. I’m currently holding him upright against me as he sleeps. This is going to be a LONG night for me. Any advice? I’ve used olbas oil ...

My 2 week old is only sleeping 1.5-2 hours a night and is crying for most of it. She’s totally fine during the day, but just wondering if any mamas might be dealing with this too because it’s been SUCH a struggle 😔. Would love Any recommendations for a first time mama here

Pillows and 5 month old What’s everyone’s opinions on a 5 month old using a pillow ? I’m aware the lullaby trust advises you don’t until the age of 1, but my little girl naps on a pillow during the day and I’m considering doing it at night also as she sleeps so much better but hear so many maxed reveiws and just w...

My son is 22 months old and his legs and arms are getting dry from the cold weather. Can anyone please recommend any moisturiser or anything they have used which helps with the dryness? I have been using coconut oil and it’s helping a little but there’s still dryness. Thank you

Hello does anyone have a travel system/pushchair from Ickle Bubba? I see good deals for them but don’t know anyone that’s had one. Would like some real feedback 😊 I know they stock them in some boots to have a look at, but not very many!

Am I wrong for asking my mother to get an RSV test when she was recenly exposed to my niece and nephew who had caught it? She made it seem like it was a big deal me asking her to do so and we have a Christmas event at her house in 3 days. I have a 10 month old and RSV can be dangerous and potentially my daughter...

Our baby (7 months) has his own room and we've tried to put him in there to sleep from 6 months, but he wakes up every hour. Husband works 7am to 6pm so cannot wake up at night. I am tired all day from taking care of the baby and other chores. As a result, baby sleeps in our bed, and the husband sleeps in the spare ...

Our little boy (one in early Jan) was sleeping very well - 10 or 11 hours per night as recently as mid November - but for the past month it’s been totally chaotic, a period of refusing naps til super late and now though napping ok is waking every hour or two in the night and sometimes staying awake for ages. He ha...
