My 7 week old baby doesn’t sleep during the day. If I hold him to sleep he will fall Asleep but I’ll wake shortly after transferring to bassinet.

Anyone else’s LO naps for 30 minutes or less at a time ? How do you plan around that ? Do you try to extend their naps ? Do you feed them every time they are up and wait until they’re nearing their wake window to put them down again ? My baby typically feeds every 3 hours and has a wake window of 1 - 1.5 hours. But,...

Wasn't sure where to ask, but for context. My son was breastfed up until he was 3 months old. I was unable to produce enough during his cluster feeding at that age, and he's almost 10.5 months old now. He's been showing signs of wanting to be breastfeed again, and I don't know what to do. The breastfeeding also took...

I have a 4 week old, and she seems to like playing with my nipple with her tongue, before she feeds and during and after. Is this normal?

I have a 17 month old, and we’ve been co-sleeping since she turned one. i have found that we both sleep better together.

There aren’t ...

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 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...
