My husband walked in to our 21month old daughter's room tonight and saw her sitting in the cot and reading a book. My daughter saw him, but didn't acknowledged him and he walked straight out. Unfortunately, we forgot the baby monitor in her room, so we can't see what she's doing. We don't want to go in the room and ...

My baby is 8 weeks old and straight up fights naps during the day. We normally contact nap but even this is a huge struggle. Are you experiencing something similar?

LO is 12 weeks old. I am trying to set up a bedtime routine, having LO sleep at 9pm, winding down from 7pm. But my husband likes to play with LO and sing (rock and roll) to him around 8pm, after dinner, often leaving him excited and hyper before bedtime. I’ve told husband a couple of times I am trying to set up a ...

I mastered the art of smiling outwardly but dying inwardly; crying silently. My true joy is my child but other days I’m just over it

I have been trying to get a video of our little boy kicking for the last two hours, he's been going mental this evening (turns out big fan of Bolognese) but I swear the second I open my camera app and hit record he's like nah don't feel like it now 😂 How I ask you can they tell from the womb and surely he should…

My son has been on one bottle a day since he was close to 12 months old. He has just one bottle before bed now. I feel like I see loads of posts from people saying their LOs are still on 2 bottles a day, some even still having a bottle through the night. My son hasn't had a night feed since about 7 months old. Am I...

Hi guys My little girl is really fighting her sleep at the minute. She’s 6 weeks today and has only slept about 4.5 hours today and has had 20 mins here and there since 3.30. Is anyone else struggling with this? I’m worried because it says newborns should sleep 16-18 hours a day and she’s only getting 14 hours on ...

Has anyone had the problem of bubs getting frustrated and upset on the boob as if there is no milk left? She’s latching fine and drinking then will get frustrated as if the boob is empty quickly, I checked this morning and I am still able to hand express so surely this means she can drink? I do have a low supply so ...

My daughter is all of the sudden terrified of being on a changing table. She’s fine standing but as soon as you lay her down she gets so scared and will try gripping onto anything just terrified. She hasn’t fallen off of anything and I’m always right next to her. I’m with her 24/7 so I know no one else has dropped h...

How long does your baby feed for in total across the day if you track it? Does your baby still have any night feeds? How are they doing with weaning? How many meals? Thanks

Although I know weight is not a main concern as a new mum but just curious did anyone else seem to store or put on more weight after having a baby? I have been breastfeeding for 6 months and although they say breastfeeding is supposed to help you loose weight I really feel it has made me gain weight and store fat, ...

I EBF my almost 7 month old and just tried pumping for the first time with no success?? Anything i may be doing wrong? I have the Medela solo pump if it matters. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻

It's been 8 weeks since I had my baby, and things are definitely getting better, but I still don't feel confident as a mom. I often have no idea what she needs or wants. I'm just kind of winging it and seeing what works. Her cries still upset me because I worry I won't be able to figure out why she's crying or how t...

My 17 week old has been in bedtime routine since 4 weeks, we bath him, bottle and he falls asleep but EVERY SINGLE NIGHT he’ll fall asleep for about half hour then we got to resettle him and he sleeps all night after? We’ve tried doing bath time later, we tried letting him nap before the bath but doesn’t seem to w...

i gave birth a week ago tomorrow and i had forceps delivery which they had to cut me, they’ve been stinging a lot and apparently it’s normal today i’ve noticed a white string hanging down, which is long but not to long, just wondering if this is normal or i should go get it checked. or does this mean that it’s disso...

My daughter is 5 weeks old. On Wednesday I noticed her retracting under her ribs and took her to hospital where they diagnosed her with bronchiolitis but was happy for her to come home. Tonight, she's been hysterically crying for hours and I've noticed she's now retracting by her collarbone. Do babys retract after c...

How do you put babies down for a nap? I think I must have missed some baby basics because I don't know how to put my 8-week-old to sleep. Nights are fine as there's a small but set routine (diaper, feed, dark room, sleep bag, and a bit of walking). During the day, she only contact naps and refuses to go into the ...

Hi Mums. We welcomed our beautiful baby girl early October 2024. I always thought when I give birth I will immediately fall in love with her, feel that unconditional motherly love and never want to let go of her again. However, I am experiencing the opposite. I just want to rest and recover from giving birth and ...

I'm wanting to purchase a stroller for going on holiday and generally downgrading from my heavy/bulky travel system pram (Mamas & Papas Ocarro). I'm thinking the Silver Cross Clic but not 100%? Wanting something mid-range and not willing to pay for a Bugaboo no matter how good they apparently are 😂

I cry watching movies now or reading articles or anything sad. I never used to. Whenever I see anything like a child crying, or a family break up, or anything sad i just straight up tear up.. I didn't cry easy in pregnancy, though? I'm just watching an animation movie about two parents being turned into monsters, ...
