I’ve seen a lot of people saying their baby wakes up at 7am. My LO wakes up between 8:30-9am. I feel very grateful that I get to sleep in that long but I’m thinking I should probably set an alarm to wake up earlier to prepare for nursery in the new year. Also struggling to get all bottles done throughout the day as ...

Hello, what size nappy is your babies on. Mine is 3 weeks old and he is in size 2 but I think I need to size 3 him as he gets red line marks where his nappy ha been

My LG is 9 weeks old and has developed a preference for lying on one side. I've noticed she's starting to get a slightly misshapen head as a result although friends and family have said they wouldn't notice unless id pointed it out. I'm worried about it getting worse / not going away as she gets older. Does anyone h...

My LO doesn’t have a bedtime routine per se.. usually falls asleep cuddled up to me on the sofa and we carry him to bed and put him in his cot but lately he wakes up screaming when we carry him up and won’t settled back down.

Will my baby get enough milk if I’ve just expressed from both boobs but he wants breastfeeding right after or will I be empty? I’m worried he won’t get anything, sometimes his feeding and my pumping schedules clash if he wakes up early for a feed etc. I don’t know what’s best to do?

Baby has nearly grown out of Moses basket , I’ve got a next to me crib but it is to big. I got very little space what is best cot or cribs for small spaces ?

We have a trip coming up and not sure at all how to manage pram and car seat situation. We aren’t renting a car and will only be taking taxis occasionally, but it doesn’t seem possible to order a taxi with a car seat. But then worried about having to lug our own car seat to the airport and check it in and if it will...

Just wondered if any EBF babies sleep well at night? Any tricks?

My little girl has always been a rubbish sleeper...... but got to a comfortable point for a couple of weeks, she was waking every 3 hours which was amazing for her. But now she's waking every 40-60 minutes.... and has been for a week and a half. I'm exhausted, anyone else going through similar? She'll just scream un...

I’m looking for the best way if I can’t breast feed, to feed baby. Whether this be prep machine (although I’ve heard it’s not recommended so I don’t really want to use this) or nuby rapid cool. Or just the kettle method or any other ways please? I’ve also bought a flask that mimickes what the nuby does as I’ve heard...

My LO screams the house down when he is trying to sleep, is that normal or is there an underlying issue I should look into?

At this point I honestly just feel like our relationship is over. As bad as I want it to continue I just think it’s dying and we are only coexisting and still together because I’m having a baby in February. I feel like once she gets here it’s going to put more of a strain on our relationship and we are going to brea...

I know I shouldn't stress but my 15m old can pull to stand and pretty much push herself to stand if holding on to even one adult hand. She cruises fast across furniture and has started taking a couple steps between furniture and towards you sometimes but always tips forward after 3ish steps. She favours crawling and...

Has anyone else’s little one dropped their nap in the day completely yet? My little boy is 19 months old (20 months on 01/01/2024) and he still has a nap after lunch time at the moment but yesterday and the day before he didn’t nap (we had family over and he just didn’t want to) and he went to sleep instantly at be...

I just went for my baby's 2 month well check and my pediatrician said she was already showing early signs of crawling. (scooting herself forward with her legs and pushing off of things). She said she wouldn't be surprised if she was crawling by the time she's 4 months. I told my MIL this and she said absolutely no w...

At what age were your babies sleeping in their own room?

My LO has always gone into his cot awake and fallen asleep independently or with a little help of a little pat on the bum, he then has woken multiple times in a night. However recently the only way I can get him to sleep is to now cuddle and rock him to sleep. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this just a phase?

Any recommendations for hands free pumps? Also is it best to buy a single or double and when is the best time to pump as I don’t want to create an oversupply. My new born is almost 4 weeks and I’ll start pumping next week

This is specifically for those mamas that faced postpartum stuggles, such as depression and anxiety. And to those mamas that don’t have a lot of help. I have a wonderful son. He’s absolutely everything to me and I adore his smarts, his curiosity, his love for learning, his personality, his cute gestures and of c...
