I currently breastfeed in the AM and PM and pump in between to send with her to daycare. Daycare provides them with whole milk but I’m not sure how I feel about i...

My little boy is 3 days old, I’m feeding him every 2-3 hours for roughly 10-20 minutes at a time. Is this enough? He seems content. Also, my boobs and nipples are EXTREMELY painful and rock hard. When does this become easier it’s making it very difficult for me to try and stick with it ☹️. Does this mean I have to f...

Nap Advice please

My 16 week old little boy will only nap on me during the day or his pram. I really want to transition him to his crib for day time naps, however each time I’ve tried it’s only lasted 10 minutes. He is also a very very alert little boy, so will only fall asleep if rocked for a very long time or breastfed. “Sleepy b...

Arm Flapping

Does anyone else’s 9 month old flap their arms up and down if their excited or playing? My little one started doing it a couple of months ago but I would have thought he would grow out of it by now.

Exclusively pumping

Did anyone switch to or only EP? Really thinking about it, just feel like it might be more convenient since I have a 14 month old toddler that also requires my time and attention. Just want to see other people’s experiences. Thanks!

SMA Althera weird colour??

Just made up our first bottle of Althera in our Perfect Prep and it’s come out yellow and watery. Is this normal? I immediately dumped it out and fed her with her normal milk as I’m unsure!

Why is my baby not sleeping :(

My baby will be 9 months on December 6th. He wakes up every 4 hours at least for a bottle and tosses and turns all night like he can’t get comfortable. I’m constantly feeling his stomach and back to make sure he’s not too hot or cold. We have a fan going for white noise but it’s not blowing directly on us. He also i...

Bubba doesn't smile at me in the morning.

I always see a bunch of posts from other bed-sharing families talking about how one of the best parts is baby smiling when they see you first thing in the morning. When my daughter wakes up she's either fussing or she's just straight faced with no expression. However, if I move out of the way and she sees my (usuall...
