Help my toddler is waking up at night and won’t go back to sleep for hours. He tries to but can’t. I stopped breastfeeding at night a few months ago because it was more for comfort and to get back to sleep. But this week he’s been waking up for hours. He’s been up for over 2 hours now. Does anyone know what I can ...

I’ve got a 5, almost 6 month old and her sleep has just been terrible for the past week or so, she fights her naps and her nights are terrible too. I’m the primary parent and I can feel myself losing my patience with her and feel at a loss of what to do. She is exclusively breastfed I’m losing my wits end because I...

Im having palpitations! In laws are going abroad to a third world country on holiday and want yo be back for birth of my first one. I'm already nervous about visitors in the first few weeks but since I live with my inlaws and want my parents part of my support bubble, I'd accepted that we'll keep it to us for now. ...

My 10 week old girl is doing a strange sleeping pattern. I’ve been tracking it for ages and it’s always the same. When I first put her down at night, I get a 3-4 hour stretch, then I will feed her and put her down for a 1.5-2 hour stretch. After that, she’s awake every 45 mins. I feed her every time (breastfed) and ...

I am currently 35 +6 weeks pregnant and my insomnia is so bad. I am getting like 5 hours a night and then I am awake from like 3 am 😭. I am still working at a nursery 8:30-5 which is a killer when I haven’t slept. My partner is asleep next to me and I am so jealous he can sleep. I can’t get comfortable and when I…

Anyone else?

My baby is in the NICU and still has quite a tiny mouth at just 35 weeks (he was due 28 December). I started trying to feed him which works really well but yesterday my nipple had this excrutiating prickly pain that hasn't gone away. I tried warm cloths. I'm not sure if its cause he wasn't latched properly. I starte...

We’re looking for a good chair for babies room. Has anyone found a good option that doesn’t cost a huge amount? We’re hoping for something around $300. Does anyone with past experience with babies have any thoughts on whether recliner is necessary or is a basic rocking chair good enough? Thank you!

How do you deal with feeding once baby’s teething and have teeth. My baby is just starting to teethe, and one of my biggest fears with breastfeeding is getting bit. How can I stop her from biting while shes teething and once she has teeth?

My twins are very responsive to sounds and make great eye contact but they are not answering to their name or but they doing basic demands such as “come here” with hand gestures when they are not distracted . Should I be worried or I’m I over thinking it ? They are 13 months.

My LB is 14wks old and seems to settle to sleep really well while something is draped over part of his face and eyes.. if we're having a cuddle I'll use one of his blankets and remove it whenever he's fully asleep but I'm scared to use anything as night! He's a FOMO baby and won't fall asleep himself.. is there anyt...

I know and heard breastfeeding babies can go 7 days without 💩 and apparently it’s normal 🤨 ( my baby is 8 weeks old & i also formula feed her as well but I do mostly breastfeeding and only formula top up or when she’s not too full) Any suggestions or tips?

Anyone not swaddling their newborn? I’m trying to figure out why she sleeps in her bassinet during the day but not at night and I’m wondering if hating the swaddle is common?

Baby born 17:20 we got home 01:30 this morning Aprox. Second baby but first time EBF. I don't know how long I want to breast feed for but I do want to at least try.

My husband thinks he doesn’t have a problem. At the very least I have asked him to go get checked out and maybe consider a sleep study, but he swears up and down that it’s me and I just need to learn to deal with it. It’s been 10 years, I haven’t been dealing with it 😂 in fact, late at night sometimes I contemplate…

He made my pregnancy miserable always asking to borrow money. And now he’s constantly telling me I’m not his girlfriend if I say something bothers me when I told him if he can’t come anymore to let me know. It’s really affecting my mental health interacting with him and he has no sort of empathy.

Is anyone else’s kid talking in full clear sentences, counting, has great association skills and able to use context clues?

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but everytime I’m around my boyfriend I’m in a bad mood and even thinking about him stresses me out and pisses me off. There’s not even a particular reason, every little thing he does agitates me. I’m feeling bored and held back, but he was my first boyfriend and I do love him. I d...
