When do I start pumping for that colostrum ?🤔

Please I need recommendations on the best whole milk options for my one year old. She’s really constipated since she started taking whole milk. I complained to the pediatrician but they said to continue and keep her hydrated. I really don’t want to keep her constipated constantly. She cry’s really bad when she’s bac...

Hi Girl I am a single mum with no family or support around. I actually don't talk to my family anymore because they have not been helping since I had my baby. I work full time and can only afford my baby to go to the nursery 2 days a week. I have a lot of pressure from work. I am now afraid of doing a burnout or dep...

If you do, how do you like it? Would you recommend it?

My little one eats approx every three hours however, the last two days she’s been spitting up which she doesn’t usually. Also, sounds like a bit of reflux… Thinking I should space out her feedings a bit more. Curious how often others after feeding their littles.

Hey guys my baby is 2 months how do I go about getting an Uber? Do I have to take the car seat? Learn to strap it up? I ideally need my buggy for the whole day so wouldn’t want to take the car seat as an attachment on the buggy as babies can’t be in them for so long and I will be out and about the whole day. ...

Been trying to get little boy down since 7pm.. it's now 1:30am!!! Every time I think he's asleep and put him down (in my bed as we co-sleep) he wakes up crying. Treats the five minute cat nap as a full nap and kickstarts another full wake window. WTF is he doing I'm so tired... 🥱

How many of your littles have words and gestures? Our pediatrician made a huge deal about of my son’s lack of mimicking waving/pointing. We have 2 words and 1 gesture!

Or anytime before it was deemed safe to do so regarding their head control? Baby is 8wks and won't sleep unless on their front the past 2 days. Screams murder otherwise. Last night, I had about 2hrs sleep and that was only from 8-10AM even though I was in bed at 9pm previously. I can't do it again tonight. He sleeps...

Hey all! Are you little ones starting a new feisty type behavior all of a sudden?? The mornings she’s great and then afternoon/evenings, she’s been acting very frustrated and throwing little tantrums. Only thing that I can attribute it to is that she’s started walking with holding just one hand of mine and maybe she...

I use these bottles with my son and he’s two months old and using the size 1 nipples… idk if I should be worried but by now he should be using size 3 right? But even the 2 is too fast for him… I think. He doesn’t choke using them per se but it does end up all over his neck and face. He drinks pretty slowly with the ...

First time mama how many bottles will be need to be enough? I plan to mainly bottle feed ! Thank you .

Anyone else having extreme difficulty after birth. I have been getting so sad and just sit here crying over everything. I’m so grateful for my son and I love him so much but the other half of me wishes I would have waited and I wasn’t ready to have a child and give up my time. I feel like I can’t do anything and I’m...

I think the hardest (and most beautiful) part of early motherhood for me is breastfeeding. Nothing causes me to stress out and emotional like breastfeeding. The constant worry about whether my supply is enough for my baby, whether his latch is correct, why he’s falling asleep after only nursing for 5 minutes, why he...

Hi moms! My LO is 5 months and a half and lately she has been a little fussy ball even after being fed or after naps. She is also fighting nap time more now. I’m thinking she’s teething and she might be in pain? Could it be something else? It’s getting harder to entertain her during her wake periods 😭😄 just…

Hi! FTM here. I’m looking for thoughts on more expensive v more affordable diapers. Anyone feel like the more expensive ones are worth the price tag? What’s your experience been?

I’ve just realised I didn’t get my child benefit payment for this month (Jan). Did this happen to anyone else? Have had no issues previously.

Hello Mamas, I have been exclusively breastfeeding for 4 months. My supply has been going down. I pumped 2 oz. total today. My baby is drinking 5oz. I start work in February and have no supply frozen for childcare. I’m going to start formula feeding. I feel so guilty though. Does anyone else feel guilty for stoppin...

I’m ebf and my lo had been so fussy today- she’s going for the nipple but then pulling away and not taking a deep latch. At the same time she’s kicking her legs, raising her arm and being vocal - has anyone else had this? I’m not sure what she’s trying to tell me! She’s 4 weeks old.

Really need some words of support / encouragement right now. My little girl has literally been feeding all day. She’s been awake since 6pm wanting feeding constantly this evening, I’ve just finally put her down as she fell asleep on the boob, for her to wake up after 20 mins wanting more milk. I don’t know how mu...
