I'm 15 months pp. My period came back at 4 months. I have regular periods that span 3 to 6 days. We are trying to have baby #2 and have been trying for 3 months now. A mom I met who's had to go through other interventions said that my breastfeeding could be delaying conception because of something with my uterine l...

So my baby is 9 months old and for the last few months I’ve been up to my neck with anxiety about autism ( I went down a rabbit hole on tiktok) and now I’m constantly watching my baby’s every move. My first concern was she didn’t always respond to her name - sometimes she does but sometimes she doesn’t. Secondly she...

I have a very active two year old, I don’t know whether to exclusively breast feed baby no.2 or nurse and give abit of formula? I was a mess with my first and breastfeeding consumed all our time until 6months. Is anyone planning on adding abit of formula? If so, how? Are you thinking to give formula in the evenings ...

Hello! Anyone have any tips on how to combo feed? I exclusively breastfed my firstborn, so would like to mostly breastfeed my second, with the occasional bottle of formula if needed. But if I have to pump during the feed, it defeats the purpose of using the formula (for me to get a break). I know I'd have to pump a...

My toddler refuses to listen unless I yell and I hated being yelled at as a kid but she will not listen unless I do so 🥲

So i went out tonight and had 3 gins and a beer. My partner said he was gonna sleep next to baby and give him bottles of boobie milk but I'm worried he's actually quite drunk 🫣 so I'm going to do the night. Has anyone else done a night with their baby after some drinks? I'm so worried I'm gonna sleep through his…

So, not Mama related but what are your handbag essentials? Other than compact mirror, tissues, purse, makeup, lip balm etc

So my son is now one month and a few weeks old, and he has this swollen, literally a balloon belly button. I did my research and found out it’s called umbilical hernia, that is due to muscles not being closed at birth, and it gets worse with crying, coughing or yawning. My baby cries a lottt, like a lot. So overt...

Anyone else’s newborn rarely sleeping? My LO, who is nearly 4 weeks, does a handful of 20/30 minute naps recently - maybe one 1+ hour nap during the day. And they do one long 4 hour stretch at night and that’s it!! I thought newborns were supposed to sleep 16+ hours.😩

Has anyone gone through a mental divorce in the sense where they are not actually divorcing their husband legally but have mentally? I feel this is me right now… he brings absolutely nothing to the table apart from money and I am a sahm with a 1yr old and feel that’s the only reason to stay as I am financially depen...

Is it bad parenting if your child has a tantrum in a shop for you saying no to them?

My daughter is 2yrs 6 month she hasn't said any words am so worried and concern. Any mum going through this situation

When is the best time to start having a routine for sleep? What does your routine look like?

My 6 month old has suddenly started hysterically crying out in his sleep, often his eyes are still shut and it’s 0-100 hysterical crying with real tears. It can sometimes take him a good few minutes to settle and calm once I’ve picked him up and soothed him. It’s so distressing and upsetting 😥 does anyone’s else’s…

My baby is 5months + 1 week and I’m still rocking him to sleep? I feel like I’m doing the wrong thing because no one else is able to put him to sleep. My parents have tried to rock him for a nap but he just literally laughs at them or wriggles about. My partner can rock him to sleep for his day time naps but can’t...

So, my little boy has been in a routine of going to bed at 9pm for a while now. I’ve been going up at 9, getting him sorted and sticking the tv on. This has worked well but now I think he’s ready to go to bed earlier and I wondered how everyone navigates this. I’ve spoken to my mum and she says to just take him up a...

Does anybody have any ideas how to increase breastmilk? I pump and i only ever get like 4 ounces at the most which is okay but then after that it’s like two which isn’t enough🙃

My LO is 11 weeks and for last few weeks cries/screams during feeds, but oddly is fine for night feeds. She seems comfortable lying on her back and is not unsettled other than during feeds. Could this be reflux? Trying to figure out what’s causing the unsettledness just during feeds.

A bit of a long one but my daughter is 4 months old when she was born she had SMA formula/ breastmilk, i do both, i give her formula when my breastmilk isn’t enough but the SMA Made her so sick after about a month and she’d always be sick after not normal but like the formula didn’t agree with her so i changed it to...

Super broke this week & this is the week my baby decides to go from 6 oz to 10oz. Usually I buy 5 cans for the month. I am down to the last can and it will be done by the morning. Idk why it’s so hard to go to my friends and family.
