We had problems in the past and life has gotten a lot better. Or so I thought. Now I'm not sure. My daughter a little over a year ago mentioned harming herself (all the way) and got into crisis counseling and then normal counseling. We made a lot of lifestyle changes and I homeschool now and things hav been so wel...

We suspect this is a regression but I’m just not used to this behaviour from our 18 month old! He’s very early with his language and is putting multiple words tigether etc but atm when we are talking to him, he will say something, for example ‘nanny’ and will seem really happy and excited…then if I ask if he wants t...

My 3 year old is autistic and is not ready for potty training so is still in nappies. Ive been using lidl/aldi since he was born. Lately overnight, he leaks through them! Ive tried upping the eize, and he still leaks. Ive also tried tesco fred & flo, and he still leaks. Can anyone recommend a brand please? Im out of...

Hi folks, please can you recommend a good baby/toddler car seat for occasional use? We need one asap for an hour long taxi minibus journey and then for occasional use in grandparent's car afterwards. We'd be looking at one that belts in as opposed to isofix or anything fiddly because of taxi especially. It's for our...

I’m hoping this is just a stage, my baby girl is just over 3 months old she had her second vaccinations a week ago and since then she has been all over the place. She has her moments of being happy awake, then gets suddenly extremely tired and fights sleep.. I’m having to take her out in the pram for her to nap but ...

Hi all, I am a first time mum and my baby is 10 days old. I had a C-section and didn’t start off initially breastfeeding due to how I was feeling after the section. On day 3, I saw a lactation specialist who helped me begin my BF journey with the help of silicone nipple shields to transition her. Since then, she has...

I’m really struggling with PPD and my mum wants to stay for a few days. This would be so useful but I feel like I’m failing. I’m 29 and feel like I should be able to cope a year in but some days are still bad.

Hi ladies, Just looking for some good recommendations for a new pushchair. My little one is 19 months and looking for a one click type of pushchair that folds up in a compact and doesn't take much car boot space.

Very lucky that my parents have offered to pay for a pushchair for me but I have a question! I’d absolutely love the Silver Cross Reef 2 but I also don’t want to take the p*ss😂 So my next favourite that I looked at was the Silver Cross Dune. I’d be getting the bundle BUT the isofix base I ideally want is the…

I have noticed a lot of mums to be, new mums asking questions about vaccines and whether they should or not. It’s very clear that it’s hard for parents to make informed choices about it. It’s overwhelming to say the least and it seems to be a controversial topic. I just wanted to drop some books that are out there a...

My little boy has gone backwards 😩 He was sleeping for 4-5 hours at the beginning of the night and now he’s awake every 1-2 hours 👎 He was having a 2-3 hour nap in the day and that has now stopped! EBF Anyone else’s baby like this? Any ideas how to improve ? 🙏

My daughter is 4.5 months and still has just a little bit of peach fuzz. I’m seeing a lot of babies her age with full heads of hair and just curious when everyone’s babies started to get hair! I love my little bald babe but am looking forward to getting to style it 🥰

My LG really struggles through the day when she has no nap. But her wake window is so long now that it means a really late bedtime if she does nap even if it’s only for 30 mins. What are you all doing at the moment?

My son is 16 months old and is really starting to get the hang of walking. So happy! Now we need him to start walking in shoes. I see the IG ads saying normal shoes are hurtful to baby feet. Is that true or just advertising? Should i be buying those super soft sole shoes or not necessary?

My baby doesn’t need so much milk in the day now but if i don’t feed her my boobs are hurting and full - I don’t really understand how we wean off? Does anyone know? I have no idea how much she drinks so don’t know how to just cut down? Thank you!

At the end of the month I’m suppose to be going online a family girls trip to NYC, for 3 nights…Without my baby. She’s suppose to be spending a couple nights with my parents and then back home with my husband. I’m having a really hard time deciding if i should go or not. She’ll be 11m old so it’s not like she’s a n...

She was 2 in November, since the day of her 2nd birthday she takes over an hour to go down for her nap. I’ve tried days with no naps and her mood is questionable and she fights going for a nap, some days she walks up there and she’s fine and some day it’s just like watching the monitor and waiting for her to fall as...

I’m absolutely devastated and frustrated trying to figure this out. So basically my milk supply has diminished to barely anything. Let me rephrase that, even though my breast feel “full” I have to jump through hoops to actually get it out. Before I left the hospital they gave me the depo shot for birth control but n...

Baby has reflux and passed a large bowel movement this morning. Should I be concerned about the yellow im the vomit?

I’m 24 weeks pregnant with my first and up until this point I had not considered purchasing a Moses basket for baby naps downstairs during the day. I have thought the baby would be okay to nap in his next to me crib in our bedroom and I would use the baby monitor to keep an eye on him. However I’m now wondering if t...
