We’ve had some sleeping issues the last 4-5 weeks and it seems we have 2 or 3 rubbish nights in a row (split nights, awake for 1.5-2 hours) and then my daughter will sleep through for about 4 nights, we think yay cracked it, and then no - right back in the shit! Previously she’s been waking up around 2am/3am but ni...

My 13 week old has suddenly become very fussy on the boob for the last week or so. Never any problems previously. About 90% of feeds now involve starting to suckle and then repeatedly turning his head away, pulling on and off, thrashing arms about etc. Seems like he's not feeding so I take him off and then he gets u...

My 8 week old was having 4/5 dirty nappies till about a week ago but he is now having 1/2 a day. Is this normal? He is still having lots of wet nappies and doesn’t seem constipated

Hi mummas, First time mum here. I just need some advice/thoughts please. My LG is almost 5 months old. At around 3/3 and a half months she went through an early 4 month sleep regression. Didn't sleep in the day for longer than 10 minutes, wouldn't go down at night until 10/11pm (usual bed time is 7/8pm) and then w...

Is anyone still still struggling with this, I thought it would have stopped by now ?! It's not even like I wash my hair or use products all the time (well except dry hair shampoo lol).. just want to know im not alone or whether maybe a trip to the drs is in order 😬

Too much choice out there! I don’t want them to be small he will just munch them lol but I don’t want too big either 🤣

I was wondering if there’s anything that’s portable that can keep my fridge temp breastmilk cold on the go till I need to use it? The stress of a time limit to use the milk stresses me out on the go and it’s a lot of wasting! I’m nearly considering keeping a mini fridge in my car but even that would probably need t...

Just curious if your babies are sleeping in their bassinets/cribs at night and if so how long without needing help/feed. We are putting baby in his crib but he rarely lasts more than 45min before we need to intervene. Otherwise he is sleeping in our arms, rocking etc. I'm getting fed up with the broken up nights no...

I’ve been breastfeeding for very nearly 2 years and I’ve gradually dropped feeds over the past year. I conpletely stopped breastfeeding 2 weeks ago. My periods have been very regular since about 3/4 months after giving birth so for me to miss one is very unusual. I’ve taken a load of pregnancy tests and they’ve a...

My 22 month old daughter recently has been acting out. really frustrated with things, and towards me and her dad like grunting and growling in a way. when we’re doing something like opening something and it’s not been done fast enough and she isn’t registering us telling her off , she just laughs and smiles like it ...

Hi, I’m 37 weeks and looking for any tips/advice on harvesting colostrum?

Omg what kind of fresh hell is this? Baby was never w good sleeper for past few months at least she would go down easily. Now it’s total nightmare - resisting naps, resisting bedtime. She’s clearly tired. Anyone going through this? Started roughly a week ago. I’m knackered as it is being back at work and having frag...

This might sound really silly but all the baby’s weaning bowls, cups, utensils should we be sterilising them or can we just hand wash?

So I’m posting anonymously because I’m embarrassed. I didn’t see anything wrong with using WD-40 to clean off the sticky substance off my 7 months olds bath so I was sharing it with a friend and she advised me that that product is too toxic. My intention was to use product to get rid of the sticky substance , to p...

How do I know if the teat flow is too fast or slow? He doesnt choke but milk comes out on the side of his mouth

Hi! My baby is in the infant carseat I got with the Britax Romer Strider M travel system. He is 6 months old now and is still under the weight limit for the car seat (13kg), but he has long legs & his legs are going up the seat so I think he needs a bigger car seat ? The only problem I’ve got is I don’t drive but am...

Anyone have big boobs and find that they leak through their breastpads at night, any recommendations for breastpads apart from Lansinoh ??

My 14 month old is having 2 naps and atm goes for a longer am but then has to be a shorter pm because otherwise it affects bedtime. If I wake him from the morning one he is SO grumpy. Not sure how best to go about it? How do you work on 2 naps?

Hey ladies! My little one is outgrowing the babybjorn mini carrier and to be fair it’s killing my back carrying him in it now! Some carrier recommendations please which are comfortable and easy to use. Thank you 😊

Does anyone else’s little one bang their head? My boy is 14 months and started purposefully banging his head when he turned 1. It was mild at first and seemed to be his way of communicating he was unhappy (usually did it when I put him down or dropped him off at nursery). We put it down as a toddler tantrum and did ...
