Struggling to get bubba to nap properly, she’ll only sleep in the sling, in the car, or on the boob. Which is fine but I have two other children, one of whom is a toddler who is pretty noisy, and bub is getting woken up frequently. I would also like a break from a baby being attached to me, ideally. Problems are -...

Do 8 week olds have regression? My girl is so tired but keeps fighting sleep.

Haven’t started weaning yet (but will be soon) so any advice is appreciated :)

My baby is 6 weeks old and I'm not sure if she's eating enough? I can see that on the formula tub it says that for her weight and age she should be eating around 5oz (150ml) but she doesn't most of the times? Sometimes she'll eat 120ml and sometimes 60ml and almost always falls asleep while feeding. I'm worried she'...

I know this question gets asks so many times but what is everyone’s 5 month old drinking in a 24 hour period. My little boy still wakes up once in the night around 5am then has another 4 bottles during the day but can be really hit or miss today he has only really been drinking 3/4oz on each bottle even though it’s ...

Can anyone give any advice or reassure please, my 9 month old has always cried at night but when I BF I would just put her on the boob and she would go down usually, but she screams in the night when she wakes up, even if I give her dummy she will just end up waking anyway standing up crying for me. Iv tried not pic...

Hey everyone! I’m a first time mom and my baby is 3 months weeks and waking up every 3 hours again in the night. It’s exhausting. He’s also not feeding well in the day and can go longer without feeds. Do you think this is because he’s getting all the nutrients at night, I also feel like my milk production isn’t as w...

Please, why can my baby sleep 10/11 hours at night but then needs to feed every 3 hours on the dot in the day? 😂 I don’t mind, just curious 😂 She’s only on 4oz but you try giving her 5 and she’ll spew!

Hello, I had mastitis in my left breast about 2 weeks ago had to go on 2 different antibiotics to get through it. This morning I wake up super engorged on the right side pump and my breast still hurts bad. I tried latching my baby and that hurt yesterday it did not. Now I have body aches and chills not sure on fever...

So much conflicting advice online

My little girl is just about to turn 5 months and is constantly sucking on her finger and putting toys in her mouth, she has now got diarrhoea, and has had it for 3 days now, I can only assume she’s picked up a little bug or some bacteria. Is this something I just need to keep an eye on or should I be calling the GP...

So, a few of us are probably coming to the end of our first trimester soon (we have our 12 week scan next week) and are probably thinking of ways to announce it to friends and family. We have a lot of family who are long distance so a lot of ours will have to be video calls but planning to do an asda personalised c...

My LG is starting to outgrow our Egg pram and so I’m looking to get a pushchair. Not sure really what I’m looking for. I’m guessing sturdy but lightweight and easy to fold down etc. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Pic for attention

Anyone else bubba crawling backwards hahaha, he was 7 months ok Monday and has been crawling backwards for about 2 weeks but just can’t seem to go forward lol. Any tips welcome please 🤣

Hey, I have a 2 year old boy and I love him so much. I struggled with him in the first 12 months in terms of creating a bond and anxiety. I am getting better now since I’ve had some therapy but I still see motherhood as a chore. This sounds totally wrong I know, but is it? Is it a chore? Why do we have children? ...

What does a good feeding sleeping schedule look like for a newborn vs baby? Any tips?

Hi I had my second son today as c section his been sleeping for 4 hours and does not even open his mouth to suck or eat anything. Is this normal? How to get him to open his mouth or suck my breast.

My 22 month old is fighting and fighting his lunchtime nap. It started with grandparents (he’s with them 3 days a week) but they were usually able to get him to go off in the pram at least for half an hour but now he’s started refusing to nap for myself and my husband. I feel like it’s taking so long to get him down...

Has anyone else experienced their baby pulling their hair. I noticed my baby girl (almost 3 months) has been pulling her hair a lot. I brought it up to my mom and of course she blamed me for it because I had a rough pregnancy. Just wondering if I’m the only mom experiencing this?

2 days ago I put a clip in my daughter's hair because her hair is getting in her eyes. She would take it off and try to put it in her mouth. I would always grab it and tell her no. For the majority of the day she had it in her hair. When we got home I was exhausted and laid on the couch resting my eyes while she pla...
