Been trying to get little boy down since 7pm.. it's now 1:30am!!! Every time I think he's asleep and put him down (in my bed as we co-sleep) he wakes up crying. Treats the five minute cat nap as a full nap and kickstarts another full wake window. WTF is he doing I'm so tired... 🥱

I’m in an apartment I asked for it but ugh everytime he gets home from work he is 20 million times louder than anyone in the building and I can literally hear banging and stuff dropping it’s like he’s hiding a damn murder ugh

How many of your littles have words and gestures? Our pediatrician made a huge deal about of my son’s lack of mimicking waving/pointing. We have 2 words and 1 gesture!

Or anytime before it was deemed safe to do so regarding their head control? Baby is 8wks and won't sleep unless on their front the past 2 days. Screams murder otherwise. Last night, I had about 2hrs sleep and that was only from 8-10AM even though I was in bed at 9pm previously. I can't do it again tonight. He sleeps...

My baby is 12 weeks.she breastfeeds and recently started taking formula (Aptamil) we recently ran out of Aptamil and got cow and gate the premed bottle just one to try and she immediately opened her bowels. She’s back on Aptamil now and breast milk but seems like she’s constipated, she’s fussy, straining to poo and ...

Hey all! Are you little ones starting a new feisty type behavior all of a sudden?? The mornings she’s great and then afternoon/evenings, she’s been acting very frustrated and throwing little tantrums. Only thing that I can attribute it to is that she’s started walking with holding just one hand of mine and maybe she...

I use these bottles with my son and he’s two months old and using the size 1 nipples… idk if I should be worried but by now he should be using size 3 right? But even the 2 is too fast for him… I think. He doesn’t choke using them per se but it does end up all over his neck and face. He drinks pretty slowly with the ...

First time mama how many bottles will be need to be enough? I plan to mainly bottle feed ! Thank you .

Is your one year old talking” or saying words or phrases or sentences??

Anyone have a 13 month old with constipation and can give me tips on how to encourage her to drink juice and her miralax? She get breastmilk in a sippy cup 3 times a day. Always offered water but maybe drinks 4-5 ounces a day total. (I know it’s not enough, but can’t tube feed her) Dr gave the ok to give her 2 oun...

Anyone else having extreme difficulty after birth. I have been getting so sad and just sit here crying over everything. I’m so grateful for my son and I love him so much but the other half of me wishes I would have waited and I wasn’t ready to have a child and give up my time. I feel like I can’t do anything and I’m...

Hi, i was pumping milk for my son for the first 2 weeks, he’s 5 weeks now and since 3 weeks the pumping has slowed down since the supply kinda slowed too. i’ve noticed i’ve still got a lot of milk coming through today and i just wondered if it’s too late to try get my baby to latch (again he’s 5 weeks old) any advic...

I think the hardest (and most beautiful) part of early motherhood for me is breastfeeding. Nothing causes me to stress out and emotional like breastfeeding. The constant worry about whether my supply is enough for my baby, whether his latch is correct, why he’s falling asleep after only nursing for 5 minutes, why he...

Hi moms! My LO is 5 months and a half and lately she has been a little fussy ball even after being fed or after naps. She is also fighting nap time more now. I’m thinking she’s teething and she might be in pain? Could it be something else? It’s getting harder to entertain her during her wake periods 😭😄 just…

Hi! FTM here. I’m looking for thoughts on more expensive v more affordable diapers. Anyone feel like the more expensive ones are worth the price tag? What’s your experience been?

Anyone else’s baby having really bad colic and/or reflux issues ? If so please send some tips. I’m currently combo feeding (mainly breastfeeding) my 6 weeks old and she can’t seem to keep anything down, very fussy and very colicky. We was prescribed Gavison but we are yet to see if it works 🤞🏾

Hello Mamas, I have been exclusively breastfeeding for 4 months. My supply has been going down. I pumped 2 oz. total today. My baby is drinking 5oz. I start work in February and have no supply frozen for childcare. I’m going to start formula feeding. I feel so guilty though. Does anyone else feel guilty for stoppin...

I’m ebf and my lo had been so fussy today- she’s going for the nipple but then pulling away and not taking a deep latch. At the same time she’s kicking her legs, raising her arm and being vocal - has anyone else had this? I’m not sure what she’s trying to tell me! She’s 4 weeks old.

Really need some words of support / encouragement right now. My little girl has literally been feeding all day. She’s been awake since 6pm wanting feeding constantly this evening, I’ve just finally put her down as she fell asleep on the boob, for her to wake up after 20 mins wanting more milk. I don’t know how mu...

My baby is 3 months old. No matter how hard we try, she never sleeps between 8 pm to 1 am and wants to be constantly entertained. Sometimes she cries until I feed her again within an hour of feeding her which in turn makes her spit up and takes even longer for her to settle down. Any suggestions as to how I can get ...
