Have you guys ever been contact napping and go on instagram or tik tok and wake your baby up accidentally? 😭 4 months in and I still forget to check the volume before lol

FTM with and 8 week old! Anyone else wake up and find their LO has managed to wriggle their way halfway up the cot and partially sideways?😅 I place baby girl at the foot of the cot as she should be, by the time she wakes for her next bottle she’s halfway up the cot and laying diagonally🤣 anyone else have this issue?

I’ve got a 3 week old and we’ve been exclusively breastfeeding but my nipples are so sore. We had extra midwife appointments to help with little ones latch which is now pretty good but I’ve still got cracked and sore nipples. Has anyone else had the same? If/when does it improve? 🫶🏼

I’ve got a consultation appointment tomorrow with a doctor for surgery in the near future and I’m not sure if to bring my 4 month old with me. I’m worried while I’m out she’ll need a feed and she’s EBF and really not a fan of the bottle 😣 we are trying, but not going well. Do I bring her along incase she gets…

Anyone else hasn’t had sex with their husband since the baby!? It’s been almost a year. Idk if I’m scared, not attracted to him anymore or just never cared for sex!

My little boy is 6 days old and I can’t sleep because he prefers to sleep in my arms than the Moses basket!

My daughter is almost a year old and I still feel horrible everyday. I feel like I’m failing in every aspect as a mother. I’m a young mom with no support and with an emotionally abusive husband who treats me more like a servant than a wife. I have severe mental health issues, trauma, and health issues…I didn’t wan...

Those of us who have had our babies - how are you getting on with the nights?! I’ve not slept at nighttime in the whole 10 days since she’s been born, surviving on a couple of hours of naps during the day - not sure how much longer I can do this. I seem to find myself in a constant cycle of feeding (bf) and changi...

What milestones should my 2 month be hitting already? I know every baby is different but are there things he should absolutely be doing already.

Is this normal? Does anyone nipple just itching? I don’t know if that’s normal for bf mamas? Or maybe it’s just me?

Hi! Does anyone else’s baby get stuck in a cycle of early morning wakeups and then with three short naps and wake windows he ends up having to go to bed early and then the cycle repeats of waking up early. His twin wakes up at 7 every morning (except the past three days has started waking up early too😩) but I can’t…

How old was your little one when you went to one nap?? He is 9m and the last couple weeks he has been refusing his 2nd nap which obv results in him one have one nap. Is he to young for just one right now?? He does sleep from 6:30/7pm-7-8am which makes me think he might be fine with one.

hi everyone, i have a 7 week old that recently has gone from finishing full 4oz/ 5oz bottles every feed to only sometimes drinking 2oz/3oz and i’ve noticed today he’s not had a dirty nappy in 24hrs!! but plenty of wet ones! Noah was a small baby when born at 5lb 7oz and is now 8lb 9oz, any advice much appreciated! i...

I’m 5 months pregnant and have a 4year old. Got into an accident and found out my husband is cheating on me and has a kid from the dashcam videos. His family knows and I’m just being taken as a fool that will sweep things under the rug. They won’t know what hit them when I pull the rug from under them. Just bidding ...

The 12 month sleep regression is the worst one yet 😅

How are we handling hitting and blatantly not listening? My little girl is 23 months old and my second is due anyday.. my girl has just recently started hitting all the time, slapping, spitting, biting, pinching, getting angry, and not listening to things that she does have understanding of and has always listened t...

I know we’re all in the thick of this regression but damn I am STRUGGLING. Sleep has completely deteriorated in the last two weeks. We now can’t even get one hour stretches, I’m currently in a hole of doom while he sleeps on me after his fifth wake up tonight and it’s only midnight!!! He’s 4 months this week and I...

My son will be 2 on May 16th and he has been hitting and pulling hair--how do I get him to stop? I've been trying to tell him to be gentle and I show him the way to do it when he wants to touch something and stuff like that but it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions? Do I bring this up to his pediatrician?

How many naps is your LO taking? My daughter is 2 naps right now but we are considering dropping one. She has been fighting naps lately which is a good indication. Wake up is at 6:30 ish 1st nap 10 ish 2nd nap 2:30 ish Bedtime 8 PM ish I read online that babies typically drop to 1 nap around 15 months but I know...

i feel like any time i leave mine IN the candle it pools around the wicks and i can’t use the candle anymore so i either dump mine in the trash or poor it into a wax melt so i can reuse it later lol
