I try everything (feeding, rocking, shhh, white noise), but he’s just not tired. I feel like I’m doing something wrong as everyone from my NCT class said their babies sleep in 3 ho...

Sex postpartum

Hey girls, when did everyone have sex after giving birth ? I’m currently 2weeks pp and all I want to do is be intimate with my partner (maybe it’s because my sex drive while pregnant had completely gone and we only had sex a handful of times while I was pregnant ) but the last week it’s all we’ve talked about 🤣 I…

Little girl is 13 months old and LOVES the boob at night to sleep but I feel like she’s feeding more since I found out I was expecting and I’m nervous for how the amped up feeding will affect the pregnancy.

Dummy help

After some advice if anyone else’s 3 year old still has a dummy. My daughter still uses them, mostly for sleep and sometimes if she’s a bit emotional. She’s now only got 1 left as she keeps biting holes in them. She gladly puts them in the bin. The trouble is we’re due our 2nd baby next month and as this is going t...

Nap time potty training Hi mommies!

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?
