Baby Still Hungry

So my daughter is 1 month & 2 days I feed her 4 oz of breast milk in a bottle when she goes to her grandparents house? She seem to be still or gets hungry 10 mins later?

Autism and illness

Does anyone find that when their child is sick with a bad cold or fever, their autistic traits are exacerbated? My daughter tends to have more anxiety, sensory seeking elevates, she stops using her words to communicate and will just grunt, she won’t get anything for herself only points to what she wants, and her eye...

Can’t sleep

Anyone else and what are we doing to fall back asleep?! Finding the 3rd trimester tough especially the lack of energy and constant exhaustion. Despite this, I woke at 1am and it is now 4am and I’m still wide awake🙃 Had a few weeks of this and hadn’t anticipated the sleepless nights to start before babies arrival!…

Did you help your baby to crawl?

Is your baby crawling yet, if yes, did you help your baby or they did it themselves? My baby lifts her bum but isn’t crawling. Any suggestions/ toy recommendations are welcome

I want to be a better wife

Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't have been so harsh on my husband, but sometimes I feel like it's justified, since he doesn't help me with the baby or around the house. In the end, we both suffer from depression and a lot of stress. I just don't understand. If we're both depressed, why do I have to get up every day...

Exhausted but sleep training just feels cruel to me

My 8.5 month old baby wakes up 3-4 times a night still and I feel like I'm falling apart from a cumulative lack of sleep. My husand helps at night and tries to rock our baby back to sleep, but I'm still mostly exclusively breastfeeding and usually the baby needs to nurse to fall back asleep. Everyone suggests sleep ...

Breastfeeding and pregnant

Hellooooo might be a stupid question I am breastfeeding my 5mo and just found out I’m pregnant can I continue to breastfeed or will that cause issues during my pregnancy. I’ve been reading that pumping can cause issues but I pump while I’m at work for my son. Do I need to switch him to formula?

When it happens, He makes this high pitched sound and often eats much less than usual. He has spat up in the past if we don't keep him upright after a feed but, this is new...

Not sure about this.

Hi all. This is kind of a strange question to ask. I stopped breastfeeding my now two year and 3 months old son probably when he was about 18 months old. He doesn't look for me to breastfeed him, but he does try get under my shirt to play with my nipples. I'm not sure what that's about. Anyone have any insight?

Baby won’t go down at night

My baby is 1 week old and the nights are killing me. She will wake and feed, but getting her back down takes hours. She sometimes settles for 10 mins and then wakes up wanting to be held again. She’s content and asleep in my arms but I can’t get any sleep. I’ve tried putting her down feet first, on her side and roll...

Waking every 1-2 hours

In the last couple days my 9 week old had gone from 2 wake ups to waking almost every hour. Is anyone else experiencing this?? We thought his Velcro swaddle was too small so swapped him into a sleep sack but it’s not made a difference (possibly made it worse?!?). Anyone else experiencing this or any help, I’d go bac...
