Hi mamas! First time mom here, and I’m struggling hard with my Lo and sleep. He’s 5 months old, and unfortunately my husband and I created a bad habit of having him sleep on us for naps, bed time, etc, and he’s now associated sleep with being held 😔 my husband is going back to work next month as he’s been off…

My friend is dealing with this issue and I've given her adequate advice on what to do but I just want to show her what other mothers also think. Backstory : She's already told the man to not kiss her kids on the lips, but this past weekend when picking up her son she was pumping gas and witnessed the boyfriend kiss...

My son is almost 22 months. He’s potty trained ( while awake). Been trying to potty train him during naps, but no luck for 7d now. We stopped fluids 30-60 mins before nap, asked him to pee before napping and told him “ no diaper, pee in the potty”. Any advice?

One of my boobs are slightly tender and achey, breastfeeding is established so not where it’s too full, it’s not excruciating and I’m not overly concerned but just wondered if this is signs of a blocked duct ? I squeeze with my hand and milk is still coming out, although not as much as my other breast, but this one ...

For those of you who pump, how much does your baby eat? I pretty much exclusively breast-feed, but when I leave pumped milk in a bottle for baby, I am not sure really how much to leave when I'm out.

I have seen a peaditrician and got my baby allergy tested and only same back positive for allergic to cows milk, (feel like she’s allergic to more things). Basically the doctor said I have to consume a lot of dairy for it to even reach my baby, he didn’t advice me to stop what I’m eating and also said there’s no cor...

My husband and I watched a movie and he ended up falling asleep to the last 20 mins of it. After it was over he decided to go up stairs and take a nap ( his naps aren't usally naps there like anywhere from 4-6 hours) while I'm down stairs taking care of our almost 4 months ( I said I'll see you in 6 hour and damn I ...

I am over producing milk and can pump too much in such a short space of time I have been freezing milk? Is this still good for baby? Baby is getting a good amount and is putting on weight really well. Has anyone else had an oversupply of breast milk? What’s your experience been like?

I’m feeling overwhelmed at the moment, hardly any sleep and healing etc, people keep saying to me that when baby hits 3 months it all gets a lot better but all I can think about is how that’s like 70 sleeps away, seems like so far. And I know people say time flies but gosh. It doesn’t fly at 4am when baby won’t slee...

I feel like such a bad mum. I EBF, and when I’m feeding, Sometimes it’s my only minute to sit down I use this time to relax while feeding her. Am I a bad mum for sitting on my phone at times while she’s feeding? I love staring at her while she feeds as she just stares at me, but sometimes i do find it’s nice to have...

What is everyone putting their baby in around the house? I have the Moses basket but feel bad leaving her in there when she’s awake. I have a bouncer (see pic) but she’s not impressed and I don’t rate it. Also can’t use a carrier/sling yet due to an open wound. Any ideas?

Thoughts and experiences about this

Hi! What do you ladies use for baby shampoo? I’ve been using Aveeno baby healthy start newborn wash and my LO has really bad dandruff. I’m a FTM so I’m not sure if this js normal or it’s the wash that’s causing it.

Hi ladies. So I’ve lived one the bottom floor before when there was a toddler right above me and I’ve had to knock on her door to tell her how loud it was. That was a long time ago and now that I have my own kids, we’re hearing knocking on the ceiling/floor from our new neighbors below us. Now this seems impossible ...

Hi, could anyone kindly share what was done in the review in addition to going through the questionnaire. Mine can write all his alphabet and numbers. Should I mark this as a concern? Anyone else with a super advanced toddler who’s social and happy but wants to learn absolutely EVERYTHING they can?

Hey all, due in 2 weeks and just started collecting colostrum. How many syringes are you meant to aim to collect pre birth? I did a feeding course last week and the instructor said she collected over 100 (3 per day) which is unrealistic and impossible lol, and just wondering how many most people try to collect?

Just curious how many ounces of formula your little ones have at each feed? I’m struggling to get this right and I’m wasting a lot of formula by thinking she will drink more. She has 2-3 bottles of formula a day, the rest of her feeds are breast. She feeds every 1hr30 - 2hrs in the day. She’s only taking 1-2 oz f...

Please no abusive messages, arguing with strangers online is boring x

How do you know if your LO has enough to drink? My boy is so fussy at the boob (latching and unlatching a lot this week) and for the first time ever yesterday he woke from his night sleep with a dry nappy. Then my mum commented that he looks like he has lost weight. Since she said it I can see it but I kind of think...

Has anyone had sex 2 months postpartum without protection (ebf) I’m worried I’m going to get pregnant again!
