Anyone with a Stokke Tripp Trapp highchair..

Do you use suction plates/bowls that actually stick well to the tray?? If so, please share which brand, as the brand I’m using doesn’t stick & it’s so frustrating 😭

Painful gas

Hey ladies! My 17week old has always struggled with gas and for the first 3months even struggled to poo as he couldn’t get the hang of pushing. This has improved however, now every time he wakes up he’s screaming in pain from gas. Bicycling his legs helps sometimes to pass this although the last 2 mornings he won’t...

Wake windows

How long is your little one awake during the day and what age? Just curious. My 4 week old seems to want to be awake all morning, nap for the majority of afternoon, then be awake in the evenings before going down about 10/11. She seems to get fomo already 😂

Another cows milk question... Sorry!

My LO turns 1 this weekend. I'm a FTM... So I'm really sorry for this question, as I'm sure it's already posted. But I'm anxious and wanna make sure I'm doing this right... Currently LO is on x3 8oz bottles a day. We've been doing cows milk transition slowly - such as 4oz formula and 4oz cows milk & no issues which...

Sleep!

Anyone got any advice? This is my second baby. My first is/was always a great sleeper so we were so lucky. My second isn’t terrible, but could be so much better. I generally stick to nap times in the day and make the most of his wake windows to feed and tire him out. He goes to bed at 7pm as I just can’t keep him aw...

Eye contact

What’s “normal” at this age? Any replies would be greatly appreciated. My son looks at me in the eye if I’m singing, or saying something he finds interesting (animal sounds, counting etc) - but if I’m talking to him about something he’s not bothered about he won’t look at me 🥹 he responds to his name fine. Thanks xx

How many feeds a night is your baby having?

My baby is a week off being 6 months… he wakes for 2 feeds a night, I’m just curious as to what other people’s babies are having?

Crying

My baby boy is 7.5 months old, always been a colic and reflux baby. He has never been a good sleeper, never once slept through the night. For the past week he has been waking up around 3/4 am and crying non stop, there is nothing I can do to calm him. Usually the boob will do the trick but this time I have to wake h...

6m+ bathing

Which bath setup are you using now? I was looking at the Angelcare sitting one (not the from birth one but the chair-ish one when they can sit) but wonder if anyone’s happy with it or you have other reccs!

Is your baby laughing?

Baby is almost 6 months and I have only heard him do a small chuckle one time while watching the cat clean himself. Sometimes when we tickle him or do raspberries on his tummy he will do a loud squeal but not really laugh. I know, I know all babies develop differently but not sure if I should bring up at his 6 ...

Allergic to wet wipes

My LO has had pretty bad nappy rash. Our health visitor suggested we stop using water wipes because they contain citrus and some babies can be allergic and just go back to cotton wool and water. This has cleared up her nappy rash really quickly but is not practical for out and about. Has anyone had a similar experie...
