Husband getting stressed with tantrums.

Hi guys. So my husband is getting stressed every time my son has a tantrum, shouting at him and placing him on the 'naughty chair'. I'm not sure if this is making my son's behaviour more naughty, it's putting me down and I'm nearly 4 months pregnant. Told him to calm down with it but he just says whatever, men are s...

Car seat base too loose?! Help!

I have a Cybex Cloud T car seat base and today noticed whilst we were driving that my son’s car seat seemed to move sideways slightly. I can’t seem to tighten it any more than in the video - is this too loose? I’m worried now he isn’t safe!

Does your toddler fall asleep independently?

Not counting in pushchair/car seat. My daughter has always needed rocking but where she’s getting so big, even my 6ft tall husband has trouble putting her down without waking her up! She can settle herself back to sleep overnight unless she’s teething or feeling unwell, but if we put her down even the slightest bit ...

Also for reference my 17 month old can ...

Mental health & pregnancy

I decided to quit taking all my medication while I’m pregnant and ofc in true bipolar fashion I’ve been in denial of my symptoms resurfacing over the months. I don’t necessarily feel depressed but I also just don’t want to do anything and everything feels so overwhelming. I’m not really excited to meet my daughter ...

12 week old sleep routine

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone could advise on what a typical sleep routine should look like for a baby aged 12 weeks? I've managed to start getting her down at 8pm but still give her a feed around 10:30 as I feel like she'll wake me up at like 12am otherwise. So she's typically down at 8pm, fed at 10:30 ...

My daughter was being offered 3 8oz bottles of formula a day, she would generally leave an ounce from her morning and evening bottle and 2oz from her midday one.

When did you get your period back if you’re not breastfeeding?

I’m 7 weeks PP (not BFing) and still no period - hoping it comes back soon (as much as that sucks lol) but that’s how I track my ovulation. With my first I was combo feeding and got it back at exactly 8 weeks so I was definitely expecting to get it sooner this time around.

Sertraline

For those that take Sertraline, at what dose did you found it helped best? I don’t mind the emotionally numbing part as I have no partner, lack of libido etc. to be honest this is a bonus for me. And can be happy (at times it’s a show) for my LO. I’m not emotionless with her. I’m wondering if I should up my ...

18m Review?

We were told we wouldn't have another developmental review with the HV until 2 years, but I've seen a few posts on here and other apps saying they've had their 18m review, and even one saying 15m review! Does it vary depending on where you are?
