Feeling guilty

I just want to get this off of my chest as it's weighing me down, but I planned to exclusively use breastmilk, mainly through breastfeeding but also pumping. It has not gone that way at all and I'm feeling so, so guilty. First 3 days in hospital with baby were just breastfeeding, and every midwife who came in correc...

Is it your toddler still napping?

Pretty sure we are in the process of dropping the nap altogether. He has managed most days recently without one to a reasonable bedtime, when he has had a nap it has been short (in the car). We've been through phases where he has seemed like he is dropping the nap before but this time seems it's for real.

Expectations and lots of venting

How are other parents coping with the never ending drag of their newborn preemie being in hospital. I consider myself fortunate that my 34 weeker was born a good weight and relatively well. She's overcome a lot so far but we keep being set back by reflux that hasn't yet responded to treatment. They keep saying "give...
