Inguinal hernia

Has anyone’s LB had this ?? Apparently mine needs surgery to remove it :( and they will do it after his 2nd birthday. Which is in a month. They need to do a scan first to confirm the hernia and then book surgery

Random - Do you fart in front of your kids? 😅

Random question, but I remember my mom always did it and for me as a kid the adult farts were gross to me. I swore I‘d never fart like that lol and especially not in front of my kids haha. Here we are on the other side and I don’t know.. I don’t want to give my kids the feeling that farting is something unnatural or...

Dropping to 2 naps

My baby turned 6 months last week and is starting to fight the first nap of the days and we then struggle to fit a 3rd in later in the day. Has anyone transitioned to 2 naps yet? It seems so early…

Affordable breast pumps

What breast pumps do people recommend? I’ve looked at the momcozy but I’m not willing to spend that much on a single pump. I’m looking for a hands free one to obviously make it easier to move around.

Still allergy??

Hi ladies, my baby was diagnosed with CMPA when she was 10 days old, she had blood in her poo. She is EBF and I started doing the diet (dairy, soy and egg free) back then, after 6 weeks the blood disappeared but she now has very watery poos, right color (yellow) and sometimes very often that make me think that she g...

Anyone else’s baby still getting extremely tired in the mornings and wondering how they are ever going to get to one nap a day? 😂

This morning he woke up at 7 am, which is quite late for him and still by 9 he is rubbing his eyes and whingeing. In the afternoon he can stay awake for around 4 hours it’s just the mornings he struggles with!!

Just so I know I'm potentially not alone 😂 does anyone else's 8 month old hate their cot? Currently being chased around my bed by a very clingy ( and slightly sweaty) 8 month old who refuses to sleep in her own cot

Refusing milk

Anyone else’s baby refusing formula? He’s 7.5 months and is teething so wondering if that has something to do with it? He’s been doing so well with weaning and having his milk but the past few days all of it has been a bit of a struggle

Split nights

My boy recently started having split nights, it seems he will only sleep for 5 hours at a time. He goes to bed at 7pm then wakes up at 12am and won't go back to sleep until around 1.30/2am. Then wakes for the day at 7am. Anyone else had this? Is there anything I can do?

Stroller

Has anyone moved to world facing stroller already? We’re still parent facing and wanted to stay that way for a while but the pushchair is just too big going in the car. We have a holiday coming up so thinking of buying a stroller for it

1 period whilst BF and now nothing??

Hey everyone, I had my first period last month, I have been EBF my baby since she was born, she is 8 months now and she’s started showing an interest in food and having formula. I’m 2 days “late” this month but I’ve heard periods might not necessarily be regular whilst breast feeding.. is this normal?

Extending Naps

My 7 month old has started waking more - particularly pre midnight - and I think she’s just overtired. We’ll get 2-3 naps a day but never totalling more than 1.5 hours (I read some people have that in just one nap). Online it says to resettle after a nap but she wakes up so awake it’s near impossible. Just wonde...

Monitor

Can anyone recommend a good monitor? I haven’t had to use one yet but looking for one I can start to use at home and also for going on holiday. I have the owlet one but want one with a separate monitor ideally! They seem to range so much in price so no idea which is best! Xx

Breastfeeding and alcohol

Hi ladies. I had two glasses of wine yesterday around 9-10pm. I did not breastfeed during the night time and pumped this morning at 8am. Is this breast milk okay to feed or should I dump it?
