Have you ever pretended to be asleep or stuck with the baby to avoid bedtime with your toddler? 😅

She’s been a lot these days and my baby is just so snuggly right now.

Double Pram?

Hi everyone! I currently have a 15 month old and am expecting my second in May. My 15 month old doesn't like prams I think due to lack of visibility (we have a smartrike for him at the moment) and I'm debating on whether or not to get a double pram. Did you have a toddler that didn't like prams but then ending up wa...

4 month sleep regression

Is it possible my kid skipped the sleep regression? He got sick around that time so maybe it all blended together but I don't remember him waking up any more than usual.

EBF baby and returning to work

I’m returning to work in an April and am so worried as my baby is ebf and is still having feeds every few hours. I tried to implement feeding every 3/4 hours to start a routine but he seems to need more than this. He’s not taken too well to weaning and is very active so if anything I feel he’s needing more milk. H...

Breastfeeding to formula

I've been breastfeeding for 5 days and I think I've reached the point where I can't do it anymore. I've struggled with latching on one side so baby boy has been fed primarily on the other, however now my nipple is so sore on the side he does feed from I'm in absolute agony. I said to myself if it had an effect on m...

Why is calling your partner “daddy” “papi” SO CRINGE????

My partner is someone who loves to be called “daddy” “papi” like if he had it his way, he’d be called these pet names ALL the time, during sex and inside the house, where ever. He said all his previous relationships he was called this but it’s just not a bit of me 😤 and he says I’m not submissive like brudda stfu 😂…

Anyone else feel like the people in their life that should mean the most to them don’t care anything about you and your PP journey they only care if they see the baby…?

I get jealous when I see and hear people say that they couldn’t have survived their PP journey without their mothers and or sister/sisters…. Cause my mom doesn’t care when I try to open up about how hard my PP has been and that my doc seriously thinks I got a lot of signs of PPD. I definitely have struggled with dep...

Toddler sleep horrific!!! Baby due anytime

I don’t know if it’s the 18 month regression, teething or in the impending arrival of a sibling and he can sense something is about to change but my sons sleep has been the worst it’s ever been (he has never been a good sleeper). He’s not only waking up multiple times, it’s just taken me over an hour to get him back...

Transition to baby’s room - no sleep training

So my baby is almost 7 months old, sleeps in a bassinet next to my bed in our bedroom. When she was younger I used to be able to just put her in the bassinet in the dark room and go and she would play until falling asleep, but now I have to put her to sleep. She can fall asleep during nursing, a walk in the stroller...

Pooing after every bottle

Has anyone experienced this. My LO is 3 weeks old but the last couple of days she’s been pooing after every bottle and it smells really bad? I’m not registered with a gp as I’ve just moved back to my parents so should I worry? Should I call 111?
