30 min naps?? Prefers car seat?? Endless regression??

Sigh. My bean is 5 months now and STILL taking such short naps and waking up a TON at night. I’m so confused as to what to do to try and help him sleep longer in the day and night. Any ideas? Also, he seems to prefer sleeping in the car seat to an extent too. I’m lost and we are going on almost 2 months of this…

Talking in the middle of the night

How do you discipline your 1 year olds?

She doesn’t listen to no and she’s becoming spoiled. My partner did flicks on the hand with his other kids. I’m open to it but hoping there might be another way to get her to understand “no” She just laughs and then slowly does it again. She definitely knows what it means just doesn’t care.

To give up or not? Day 3?

It’s so hard I’ve got 2 under 2 and had hoped to combi feed but even this seems so intensive time wise as been pumping, using formula, trying to breastfeed (don’t feel I’ve got this right). Out of all I’d prefer to express but that feels like a full time job. Someone said to get a pump that sits in my bra and then ...

New to cloth diapers

Hey yall! I’m a first time momma to a 1 year old boy. We decided it was time to try cloth diapering because of the price for disposable diapers. Spending $50 on a box of diapers is ridiculous. I’ve bought 15 cloth diapers so far (not including liners). Do I need more? I know I need to order more liners. I don’t have...

Vaccines

Mummy’s what do we think about getting vaccinations on our little ones? So far my baby has had her 8 weeks vaccination done and her BCG vaccine. But now I don’t know whether I want to do the rest.
