Emotionless

I don't know if this will even make sense but I'm hoping to see if it's normal or not. My partner has ADHD and has extreme highs and lows and is triggered by the smallest of things. When he was diagnosed he was very upset ofc I said I would help in anyway to help regulate him when he feels out of control. In the mea...

Is your baby still not crawling or pulling themselves up?

As the title says… we turned 1 last week and we still only bum shuffle and only pulling up if he has our hands. He did not figure out yet how to pull himself up using objects (not that he is trying much). He does walk if we hold his hands and in his pre-walker as well… but that’s it. I know all babies have their ow...

What do you think of this?

Why do they tell us to transition from breast/formula on to cows milk at 12 months but then this is saying they should stop having milk at the same age? I'm just wondering when my toddler should stop having milk before bed because she's really not fussed with it anymore

Anyone else dealing with prenatal depression?

I'm struggling so deeply. I'm at 11 weeks for context. I have started seeing a therapist, and I'm considering medication. I'd prefer to avoid medication if possible. Has anyone experienced this? Could it pass with the second trimester?

Am I being an a hole?

My MIL keeps saying to my husband she doesn't feel she can talk to me. But it's because I will not stand for unsolicited advise. It started when she was new born with me exclusively pumping and why wouldn't I just use formula. We didn't do BLW because it terrifies me but she's now a year so using the safe start ...

High needs baby?? Did they grow out of it

I’m really starting to miss my old life. I love my baby but she requires so much and isn’t an “easy” baby and as a result I feel like I’m drowning. I can’t take her out because she hates the car seat, and I’m tired of taking her in the sling, as it limits where I can go. Not to mention she doesn’t sleep on the go an...

baby rolls to belly, gets stuck — anyone else?

My almost 6-month-old rolls back to tummy like it’s her job… but can’t roll back. At night, she flips, gets stuck, screams, I flip her, she sleeps. Repeat x100. I’m basically her night-shift pit crew. She army crawls, sits, practices tummy time — but the tummy-to-back roll just isn’t happening. Anyone survive this ...

How do I wean baby off breast?

I’m going back to work in a couple of months and baby is EBF and I have no idea how I’m going to wean her off in time? She doesn’t take a bottle and I’ll have no time to pump or anywhere to store my milk whilst at work
