Breastfeeding and sleeping

How the hell are you guys putting down your babies who EBF, fall asleep at the boob and love to contact nap without a dummy? I'm honestly at a loss. As soon as my LO is asleep, I try to put her down feet first in her snuzpod but she wakes up straight away crying. She also doesn't like her face being stroked or I can...

Strollers

What strollers are people using that do not cost an arm and a leg? We have a Joie one that we used for holidays and now use in the UK but my little one just looks so uncomfortable in it. Ideas would be great

PSA - Don't leave your infant unattended in the fucking bath.

Venting here because I'm pissed about something I saw in a mom discord and I don't want to be a bitch about it but I have to get it off my chest. We all have "Oops" moments. Baby rolled off the couch. Toddler fell down the stairs. Toddler got a hold of something they shouldn't. It happens. No one is perfect. An "O...

Crying when soothing to sleep

My 10 week old has suddenly started really crying when trying to soothe her for naps and bedtime. It’s really quite distressing - don’t get me wrong she would normally have a little moan but it’s ramped up that last couple of days. She has only been cat napping, today I made sure we did a contact nap so she slept f...

Reduced appetite

I’m 6 days postpartum and I’ve been breastfeeding. Has anyone experienced reduced appetite? I’m really conscious I need to keep eating for my milk supply, I feel like I’m essentially having to force myself to eat. Has anyone else experienced this?

Is there anyone who isn’t getting their baby vaccinated? I don’t want pointless comments about why I should get my baby vaccinated - its my choice.

4.5 months old just wants to keep standing?! Anybody else

My boy just wants to be on his legs, I was worried that it might not be good so early on and could cause ‘’ bow’’ legs but watched video of paediatricians debunking myths around babies and this was one of them. That it does not cause defects and is actually good for strengthening muscles.
