Looking for recommendations on the best baby monitor?

Is anyone else really struggling with bedtime recently?? For the last few weeks my toddler will not just go to bed and settle straight away anymore, it is taking upto 1hr to get him to go to sleep, he is just messing/running round his room, we have even tried sitting with him untill he's nearly asleep but then he j...

Really random one. I’m buying baby proofing bits ready for the future and I’m just wondering if anyone has any idea what I could do with this? It’s secured to the wall so it can’t tip but I’m concerned about little one pulling out all the drawers and obviously. I’ve wracked my brains but seeing if anyone has any i...

What symptoms did everyone’s babies have what got them diagnosed as having CMPA? Were the symptoms really obvious like rashes, sick, green poo or was anyone’s less obvious and referred to as colic/reflux to begin with? Bit of a random one but also is it normal for babies poo to smell like vinegar or could it be lin...

I've got a 7.5 week old and barely leave the house because I am feeding him on demand and his routine is all over the place. I can't ever leave because I can't predict when his next feed might be. I manage to go on short local walks so I can head home if needed, but in his 2 months of life I've not popped to the sho...

My 4 month old is randomly screaming and getting himself worked up to the point where i’m running out of options, he either falls asleep or after getting him to calm down he’s completely fine, is this normal? I might take him to the doctors as i’m worried it’s something else bedsides teething

My daughter is fully potty trained during the day, even if she still have the odd nap she's fine. But bedtime, she still wakes up some morning wetter than others

I’ve always EBF I’m now returning to work and my partner wants to give our baby formula whilst I’m away since it’s easier to use the pre prepared bottle for on the go. I’ve got pumped breast milk in the freezer but I get that it’s more of a hassle as it only lasts so long when out. It feels very silly/ arbitrary but...

My 6 week old baby has become super clingy.. love snuggling with her in bed and I can do a lot if I baby wear.. initially she had 4 to 5 hour naps during the day but that’s long gone and I would use the time to squeeze in a shower among other things.. I haven’t taken a shower in two days because I generally do not w...

I’m looking for opinions to help me rationalise a situation that is consuming me. One of my best friends of 20 years had an early miscarriage 18 months ago. I fell pregnant and our friendship continued at arms length as seeing me pregnant was triggering for her which I respected. Fast forward to my daughter being bo...

Try to have a longer wake window of like 3 hours before bed but often he will not give in before 9 or later. What do you do?

Anyone else having a really fussy baby that doesn't sleep well? I am exhausted 😭😂

Not uncomfortable but just only every 3 days

2 days ago I changed my babies formula from aptamil to aptamil comfort as she was experiencing extremely bad trapped wind/colic and was super unsettled 24/7, but today she has been in so much pain when pooing and we noticed that it had got stuck and she is now really sore . I was trying infacol but made her reflux ...

Hi all, Hoping to get some ideas and advice. My 7.5 month old is currently quite a good sleeper, she will sleep on me whilst I watch tv till around 10.30 and come into bed and co-sleep until her first feed around 4/5am. I have absolutely adored co-sleeping, after a very traumatic birth and her being in the NICU f...

I'm 3 weeks post partum and feeling overwhelmed and sad about my recovery. I had a 2nd degree tear which seemed to be healing and I was feeling comfortable. So I started walking more and getting out of the house. I stopped taking lactulose that was prescribed to me as I was feeling better and I got constipation whi...

When does everyone's baby have their last nap, how long for and the wake window between nap and bedtime? I find my baby likes to have his longest nap late afternoon/evening (I try to wake him earlier but he just goes back to sleep 🤦🏻‍♀️) I try to keep him up for 2 hours before bed, usually around 9pm. He's…

What age did you switch your little ones from next to me crib to the cot my little girl is 6 months next Saturday and was touching the top in her next to me crib but the cot looks so big when she’s in it

Should I get him a doctors appointment? The midwife said if it’s 3 days or longer without a poo then con...
