Really struggling with my toddler daughter

I swear I have the hardest to deal child ever to exist. She wakes up at a decent time and goes to bed at a decent time I would say her sleep has been very broken and lately hasn’t been able to settle properly until about 2am in the morning. Between 9pm - 2am she’s in and out of sleep and when she’s up she’s crying a...

Does anyone else’s baby not sleep!?

I have two friends with similar age babies who both sleep through the night, and I feel like I’m the only one. He wakes every hour at best until midnight and then I’m lucky for a 2-3 hour stretch after that. He also won’t nap in a cot in the day. 😭

Formula Fed poos

Hi, my 5 week old is being formula fed on Kendamil whole milk and his poos have been absolutely horrendous. They smell super strong and are slightly loose and wondered if this was normal? I know all babies are different but the poos just seem extreme! I wondered if he had CMPA but he’s never sick or spits up his milk x

I’m starting to think it’s something I’m eating but I’m wayyy too tired to change my diet. Am I being selfish? When have yal...

Sleep

Is anyone extra anxious about the lack of sleep they will get when baby arrives? It sounds silly because it’s an obvious thing, but I’m so worried about how I will function with such little sleep and not being to have that switch off time and it’s impacting me now as whenever I can sleep, I panic about how I won’t b...

Boob to bottle

Hi mummas. My 8mo little boy has been exclusively breastfed.. apart from the odd bottle of expressed milk between 3-6m… he’s now refusing the bottle. I’d like to go out for some evenings and maybe an overnight without him at some point but I can’t see how I’m going to get there. He had a huge meltdown tonight when ...

Fast let down

Does anyone else struggle with really fast let down?

Toddler still not speaking

My little one still hasn’t started saying simple words yet, she just about says mama and perhaps the word for food and water in my language, hi, bye, no and car. I’m starting to get really concerned because I see other children her age that are saying upwards of 200 words and even forming small sentences. I try to t...

Fighting with husband

Anyone has a hard time adjusting with mood swings? My husband is not an emotional man, so it’s been quite hard adjusting to my new needs as a pregnant woman. We ended up having a lot of fight and it scared me a lot for having such a big emotions during my first trimester. I’m afraid of what it might do to my baby 😢

Bedtime

What time are your little ones going down at night? My LO is in bed for 830 after bath and a book but is still up every 2-3 hours. She naps 3/4 times in day but only has 20-30 minutes. 1hr at a push if I lay with her.

Sling/baby carrier for heavy baby

Hey, does anyone have a recommendation for a sling/baby carrier that we can take on holiday? It needs to be comfortable in hot weather and suitable for a heavier baby. Our current carrier hurts my upper back so much, I won’t be able to use it for much longer.
