Nursing in public

My little has started trying to rip the cover up I have when I nurse in public. Have any of you dealt with this and what did you do or use to stop it?

Toddler unbearable

Is anyone else’s 2 year old just absolutely impossible at the moment? He asks for things then will say no no no over and over again, everything is the wrong bowl, wrong cup, he’s really made Christmas so stressful and I feel so bad for him as everyone has had enough of the whining and refusal of everything 😭

Split nights

Is anyone experiencing split nights? My LG used to be so good sleeping through the night (she would nurse but would never be fully awake). This week she has been waking up at 2am and not going back down until 5am. She is learning how to crawl/stand/walk plus teething and having a cough. She is now down to one nap wh...

Projectile vomit

So, I gave my nearly 5 month old a bath last night, like we do every night. The only difference is that I got in the bath with her, I picked her up a couple of times. She kept getting water and bubble bath bubbles in her ears and then she put her soapy hand in her mouth only for a second because I got it away quite ...

Cat napper!!

7 month old has three naps a day (30 minutes each). Wake windows are 3 hours generally. Falls asleep on her own but has dummy. Sleeps all night from 7-6.30/7. Wakes for dummy once or twice in the night. Does it matter that she’s cat napping in the day, if she’s sleeping well at night? I see we need to start a...

Baby been sick on his milk.

My baby’s just gone 8 month and from birth he had reflux but I stopped gaviscon when I started weaning, ( advised by gp) as they said he will grow out of it when introducing food, although I’ve noticed he’s started vomiting hell of a lot more! He used to have 8oz bottles and I’m not on 6oz becuase he just can’t kee...

How do I work on no sleep? Do I quit?

I cannot function. I get 3 hours of broken sleep a night. My 17 month old has never slept through the night and I can't do my job. Do I quit until he's older? I think they'll try and fire me anyway as I just can't do it....
