My baby boy is 7.5 months old. And the whining the past week is NONSTOP. I can’t tell if it’s from teething (probably likely cause). I feel like I need to change activities every 5 minutes to keep him from whining (like is he bored??) I’m losing it. Just nervous something is actually wrong. Like I wish he could j...

Hi All, My 6 month old son keeps kicking legs and moves his hand all the time, did some googling and it suggests early autism sign. I know it’s very young but just wondered if anyone had any experience of this please? Thank you.

How old was your baby when they stopped contact napping?

Any other breastfeeding mamas still got the appetite of an absolute monster?! Don’t know at this point if it’s because of milk production or just that I’ve lost all self control and my daily calorie intake has gradually got bigger and bigger. I quite easily convince myself I deserve treats multiple times a day (ever...

I had an emergency c section and with a spinal block. The last few months every night in bed my lower back hurts. It never hurts in the day or when I’m sitting up always laying down. I’ve tried allsorts, strength training, massage and even a new mattress. I feel like it must be linked as I don’t know what else it c...

Has anyone got appt for 10 months assessment yet? With my first they didn’t bother until she was 1.5 years, but my boy has appt booked soon.

Has anyone had visible breast lumps when boobs are engorged that go down after feeding ? I have dense breast tissue

Really struggling with putting my little one down for any kind of sleep. I don’t have the time to rock to sleep or contact nap ALL the time. Has anyone tried the cry it out method or anything similar to get them to self soothe to sleep?

Currently weaning my LO who has CMPA and was wondering if anyone has some recommendations for dairy free porridge? x

I always hoped to exclusively breastfeed my twins but I’ve struggled to get my milk supply to be enough for both of them due to latch issues at the start. They were losing weight so I was pressured to top them up with formula by our health visitor. Just wondering how many twin mums have successfully exclusively bre...

I am exactly 3 months postpartum and breastfeeding my baby. Me and husband were super close before having a baby and so in love for 5 years and had a great intimate life. But now I just don’t feel anything. Not only do i not feel anything but i am actually repulsed by any form of physical touch. I don’t understan...

Anyone still only doing contact naps? 😬

Also I have a small bathroom so can’t bring her in and the floor is hard. I usually leave her in the living room in her bouncer with tv on but she is too big and I’m scared to leave her sitting up in case she falls over and I can’t hear her. Any tips?

My 7 month old has never been an amazing sleeper but it’s got to the point where he can’t even manage 2 hours for his initial stretch of sleep. He wakes up 5-plus times per night sometimes and we end up cosleeping and feeding him to sleep as I’m too tired to do anything else. I think he’s teething but it’s been more...

how is everyone getting rid of them? my lo only has the dummy at night but how do I go about it. his 17 months and teething! but I really want to get rid of it as I feel like the older he gets his getting attached to it.

Recently, my LO has shortened his naps and will only sleep 25-30 minutes during the day and has been very fussy during his wake windows. Anyone else having these issues or have any advice on how to extend the naps?

Had my first go tonight. Is this a good amount?

Anyone recommend any travel strollers for holidays? Nothing expensive :)

My little one is 9 and a half months, had the 10 month check with the HV today. All fine apart from his social skills apparently, there were six social things that it asked if he could do, three he could and three that he doesn't yet. He doesn't wave, clap, play pat a cake etc. He doesn't say three words that mean s...
