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). I’d like to get her into a routine of going to sleep earlier at 8pm. I tried last night and gave her a bath, bottke, cudd...

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. It’s now 1:30 am and I cannot for the ...

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…

He’s a size 6, weights 15.6kgs. Leaks through every night! Any advise?

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

Does anyone have recommendations for a belly oil? I used Hatch last time but don't want to spend that much.... so open to other clean non toxic nice ones 💗

My baby is 7 weeks old and EBF. She's gaining weight well and has plenty of wet /dirty nappies. During the day, she's happy to feed every 3ish hours and seems satisfied after her feed. However, from about 9pm onwards, when we put her down to sleep, she's just not bothered! She never wakes me up for a feed and I try ...

My husband and I will be staying in an Air B&B this summer for 8 weeks (He has to go somewhere for work) There is no bathtub. What are we doing for bathing babies with no tub? Just buy a bin for the shower? Ideas please! Edit: She will be 12months when we go.

Some please say they have cracked a solution for side sleeping baby who’s nappy leaks bloody constantly!! The last two weeks my 6 month old ha decided he’s a big big fan of side sleeping. However….every single nappy at night he leaks through, I’ve tried sizing up, sizing down, pull ups, normal nappies, two pull ups ...

He does 1 4 hour stretch from 7-11ish after a bath at night. Then the rest of the night and day he’s like clockwork every 2 hours feeding and he’s nearly 3 months
