Cosleeping?

Hey everyone, our little boy is 4 months old. Since day one he has slept in his cot and never shared or bed at night. He wakes up every 1 to 2 hours at night.

Car seat

Hi, hoping someone can help me! So I have the graco car seat (think it’s up to 4 years old) and it stays in my car. When my partner takes our daughter somewhere, her very first car seat (up to 13kg) as you can carry it around. In the next few weeks, she will definitely be far too big for this. For ppl with more ...

My Sweet Pea🥰

I just love her and I can’t believe she is walking already. My heart bursts sometimes looking at her with all my love. Any other walkers out there? She is a 1/31 baby and was due 2/16 so she is smack in-between Jan/Feb babies.

Help

So my son is 2 years old and loves singing but the minute you join or sing any song he loses his absolute mind and will do the biggest tantrum I could wish I could describe. The only song he doesn't mind me singing is You Are My Sunshine but that’s because I sing it every night so it has nothing to do with songs. He...

Anyone else struggle to get their babies to sleep in the next to me/their beds?

My son is almost 4 weeks and I always try and put him in his bed when he first goes to sleep but the most he’s ever done is 45 minutes before he wakes up crying. We then co sleep as I just want the sleep. I’ve tried getting him back to sleep in the cot but nothing works or it’s hard work. I just don’t get why he str...

Vaginal opening after childbirth

I’m 4 weeks post vaginal delivery and things aren’t looking the same down there. I had a 1st degree tear that was stitched but the hole looks elongated and oval, kind of looks like the bottom portion wasn’t stitched closed enough. Is this normal for recovery? Will things look more normal in the next few weeks??
