Please can I have some guidance where to find the best floor bed/Montessori bed with high rails so my boy cant climb out and where’s best to look for mattresses as they have to be a certain firmness don’t they for babies and toddler sleep? I will be cosleeping with him from now on.

My 6 month is really constipated after weaning, is there anything anyone would recommend giving him

I went to a Christmas party last night and I got shitty wasted. I’m hungover AF and feel like absolute shit. Idk when i should breastfeed again. if i wait the two hours per drink i probably won’t be able to breastfeed for a week LOL. When can i safely breastfeed again?

Ok my daughter is almost 18 months like the rest of y’all! I have zero idea how toddlers are bc I don’t have any experience with children prior to mine. Do they always just go non stop? My daughter is so active and busy. She will not sit still to do anything. I imagined my kid coloring and reading books lol. Please ...

We’re almost 12 weeks here and for the past 13 days, she’s been waking up every 3-4 hours at night to feed, she will take her normal full size bottles and we’re really at a loss now and low optimism on how long this is going to last. Our previous growth spurts - she’d eat at night for few days and then would get bac...

How are you dealing with unsolicited advice? I usually either brush it off, argue my case or use it as a teaching moment for ppl who are just clueless. But yesterday it all got too much because someone who knows not to, kissed my baby and others commented on her contact napping and I just LOST my shit 😅 Some of…

How many times do they feed at night?

I have a 19 month old and his sleep has gone to pot in the last few weeks, and it was bad to begin with. I still feed on demand and to sleep. We also co-sleep. However he is now fighting his naps and his nighttime bedtime. Last night, it took four hours to get him down and he eventually slept at 11pm, despite waki...

I’ve been trying to put my LO down drowsy but awake as has been waking up to be rocked to sleep every hour from 12.30am in the night. It worked once but has not worked again. Wakes up fully when put down, if calm I leave him to figure it out but pick up and calm him down if crying. This leads him to a wake window wh...

If any of your little ones are suffering from this awful reflux, I highly recommend you do a food diary and see if there’s any links. I did this and have since figured out it appears my daughter has a dairy intolerance. I breast feed so have cut it out of my diet. She is also no longer having Gaviscon as a side effe...

Hi, wanted to know how much milk your 2 month olds are drinking and every how often? My baby exclusively breastfeeds during the day and from 6pm 9pm and sometimes 12am (if she's awake) she will have a 5oz bottle. I'm finding she's finishing this very quickly! To the point where I'm having to top up with my breast mi...

Just over 4 months and I guess we’ve hit the stage where she’s noticing more and wanting to look around. Specifically on the right boob she latches for a couple seconds, looks up at me smiling, latches again, and that cycle goes on. On the left she keeps pulling off and almost taking my nipple with her! It’s frustra...

I think my baby is constipated, this will be the third day he has not had a proper poo. There has been little bits in his nappy a few times but nothing like usual. Anyone have any advice on how to help him?

Hi I've struggled my whole life with anxiety but since I had my son days ago I'm overly emotional and my chest hurts and the severe insomnia doesn't help me calm down. I had intrusive thoughts thinking that life is too good to be true. Finally my family is coming together I feel like I'm saying goodbye but at the s...

My first had a tongue tie that wasn't corrected until 7 weeks. We had so many issues at the beginning of our journey and the tongue tie procedure was a lot of money as we had to go private (UK). I believe there is some genetic link, as there has been other babies in our family with tongue tie too. I'm worried about ...

Makes me less worried when I see some bubs a head developmentally

My 13th month old has started banging his head on the floor and then cries cos he's hurt himself 🥺. It happens when he can't get his own way 😅. Is this normal?

My LO almost slept for 4-5 hours at a stretch until last month. For past couple of weeks LO has started waking up almost every hour, wants a little feed, and last night couldn’t sleep at all without being held in arms. Why is the baby craving contact sleep at this stage? Any recommendations? For reference, LO is t...

How's everyone dealing with it? My boys started the last few days. His morning nap is longer, his wake window after if longer and then his last nap finishes too early for him to last until 7pm bedtime so he's just super naggy from 5:30pm. Last night I put him to bed at 6:30pm but any other tips please?

I'm breastfeeding but we give my little one a bottle of pumped boob milk each day so I can nap and my partner feeds him. I haven't changed the bottle teat size though. I assumed as my nipple is the same size, the teat should also stay the same? Are you meant to change the size and flow of the teat?? Thanks!
