Terrible two tantrums already

Anyone experiencing tantrums. At the moment I’m experiencing crying and screaming if I do something to her she doesn’t like. Eg. Changing her nappy. Clothes. Wiping face and hands. Trying to do her hair.

Routine/nap and bedtime

So my little one is four months old and we do a baby led routine during the day following his sleep cues for naps, then a bedtime routine with dinner, pjs and a story and settle down to watch lullabies by 7. When and how did everyone get their babies into a bit of a more predictable and stricter routine including wh...

Colic and reflux babies

My 8 week baby girl has struggled with a little reflux since birth, she was combi fed for 3 weeks and then we switched to Aptamil formula and she feeds really well. She is struggling badly from 5pm/8pm with bad colic, crying/screaming for hours and nothing will soothe her. We have tried everything, different wind...

Contact naps!

Did anyone else or is anyone experiencing their 6 week old baby just wanting to be held constantly. She previously would go in her Moses basket when she was asleep but recently she just cries within 5 minutes of being put in there. Then when I pick her up and cuddle her she settles, so she doesn’t need feeding or na...

Breastfeeding or formula.

Baby boy is 9 months, got 8 teeth that sometimes make it painful. He's been waking 2-4 times in a night. Not sure weather to try to change to formula yo see if this will help his sleeping (I know no proof of that). He doesn't always seem happy or full after a feed. Been offering solids but he's not been taking m...

Resisting both naps

My baby is almost 11 months old and is currently resisting both naps. We were doing wake at 6:30-7 with first nap 9:30 for 30 mins and 1:30-3:30. Now he takes up to an hour to go off or refuses altogether. He will only do contact naps and will not go off in the buggy. Any advice or people going through the same thing?

Child locks 🔒😆

We need to start baby proofing kitchen cupboards and cabinets in the living room, does anyone have any good ones they've used which go inside the cupboard door and don't damage the wood either?

Fussiness

My little boy has just turned 4 weeks and he was so fussy all night and has been fussy all day today, won’t let me put him down. He’s not even so much crying, I mean he lets out little moans and groans here and there. He’s still drinking his milk and plenty of wet and dirty nappies. He feels warm but wouldn’t say he...

How do I know if he's feeding too much?

Little one not drinking whole milk

So my boy is 13 months and I’ve been trying to wean him off formula (slowly reducing the amount on formula in his bottle and topping it up with more whole milk). If it has formula in he will drink it, however I’ve been trying to get him to drink straight whole milk and he absolutely refuses! I want to eventually get...

My daughter has a sickness bug and was sick about 5 times last night, so obviously had very little sleep. She usually sleeps through so a lot less sleep than she's used to. She's now been napping for 3 hours.. do you think leave her as long as she needs or wake her at some point, dont want it affecting her sleep ton...

I think I messed up.

My little guy was forced bottle fed only by the NICU and me finding it awkward trying to learn to there. And it was also fortified for calories. Well home, he latched immediately. It was super easy for us. Thank goodness. I’d originally been very strict on my pumping schedule and was an over supplier. And he was st...

Best Sippy Cup for breast fed baby

Has anyone discovered a good sippy cup for the use of milk? My EBF baby won’t take a bottle and will only use a sippy cup/beaker so having to forget the bottle now. I’m confused as surely it’s going to take her so long to drink all of the milk from the beaker. Any advice would be lovely ☺️

Baby crying…

Whenever my baby cries I tend to him ASAP either by breast feeding or other comfort - my mum came round this morning and said if he’s fed, clean nappy and winded, to just let him cry for a little while before going to him as this won’t harm him, and I’ll never get anything done otherwise. Is this okay, or could this...
