Has anyone gone through a mental divorce in the sense where they are not actually divorcing their husband legally but have mentally?

My daughter is 2yrs 6 month she hasn't said any words am so worried and concern. Any mum going through this situation

My 6 month old has suddenly started hysterically crying out in his sleep, often his eyes are still shut and it’s 0-100 hysterical crying with real tears. It can sometimes take him a good few minutes to settle and calm once I’ve picked him up and soothed him. It’s so distressing and upsetting 😥 does anyone’s else’s…

My baby is 5months + 1 week and I’m still rocking him to sleep? I feel like I’m doing the wrong thing because no one else is able to put him to sleep. My parents have tried to rock him for a nap but he just literally laughs at them or wriggles about. My partner can rock him to sleep for his day time naps but can’t...

My LO is 11 weeks and for last few weeks cries/screams during feeds, but oddly is fine for night feeds. She seems comfortable lying on her back and is not unsettled other than during feeds. Could this be reflux? Trying to figure out what’s causing the unsettledness just during feeds.

Super broke this week & this is the week my baby decides to go from 6 oz to 10oz. Usually I buy 5 cans for the month. I am down to the last can and it will be done by the morning. Idk why it’s so hard to go to my friends and family.

I got rid of my little one’s dummy at around 7 months. She’s now 13 months. She sleeps really well so this is not for a sleep fix BUT I am finding in the last month or so that often when I’m out she can be really challenging, especially if I’m in the supermarket or something and I find it really overwhelming when s...

It’s a long shot but does anyone have the blemil baby monitor from Amazon and if so how the flip do you get it to pair, it’s been working fine for the past few days but my daughter pulled it off the wall and now it won’t connect again but we have no WiFi cause we’ve just moved into the house so we really need to get...

So little one is 6 months next week. She is fine on formula and happily takes a bottle. Currently 50/50. We have started solids this week as she is clearly ready for it. I have decided to stop breast feeding all together (currently am and pm and 2 pumping sessions) My question is how do you space out bottle feed...

Hi, I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant - I just wondered.. is anybody else unnecessarily annoyed at everything, snapping more and just finding reasons to be annoyed/overthinking into a mood? I feel like I’ve lost all patience and I’m just a misery to be around. I’m usually so laid back and I am well known for being suc...

Hey so I am still trying to get breastfeeding to work for me. But wanted to see moms who have done both breastfed and formula fed babies. Did you feel like you didn’t have the same closeness with your formula fed baby vs your breastfed baby? That is something I’m worried about is I won’t have that “special” connecti...

Hello! Likely going to have to have an elective C-section but potentially between 36-38 weeks due to health issues with me and the baby. I couldn’t breastfeed my first daughter due to extreme birth trauma. But I really really want to try and breastfeed this time. I was just wondering if due to the early birth and C-...

My baby is almost 12 weeks old and previously she was spending a total of 25-35 minutes breastfeeding, and now she is spending more like 10-20 tops, sometimes shorter. I know they get more efficient at emptying you at some point I just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing the same thing? I’ll keep putting h...
