Sleep training failed?

I’ve been sleep training my 11 month old for almost a month now. For the last week we have been consistent with doing cot naps and and he’s stopped crying while going in the cot. However he’s waking after 30-40 mins for naps and waking at 4-5am and not going back down to sleep again (even though he has been doing th...

Soft play with good baby area

I have an active 10 nearly 11 month old and really think she would like soft play now but concerned she would be too small. I know some have baby areas but some don’t or are very tiny often with older kids in it. Has anyone used soft play for this age or can recommend one that might be good with a decent baby area. ...

Diapers for boys

We used to use costco diapers before they changed the production. Then we switched to huggies as they were compatible but my son doesn't like them. They are very clearly uncomfortable for him as he keeps pulling on the front of them all the time and making the uncomfortable face. What other diapers should we check o...

How long is your LOs wake window?

My LOs wake window is less than an hour, is that normal? I can’t get much done during that short amount coz I spend 20-25 mins nursing him, which includes burping, diaper changes. That only leaves around solid ~30 mins. Is it the same for your LOs too?

Sick and sleep

I’m a bit frustrated, it’s currently 4:38am and I haven’t slept, my husband picked up the flu or something at work and my son has now gotten what he had, and with that he is NOT SLEEPING, maybe 30 minute increments if that but most times he’s just crying and flailing trying to get comfortable. He eventually did fa...

Does anyone else think their babies poo smells good?💩

I know it's obviously poo but you know that good fart smell, is it some maternal instinct that your babies poo smells good or am I weird?

Hates car

Does anyone else’s baby hate the car? She has always made a fuss in it but we’re now at a point that she screaming before I’ve even pulled off the drive.

Last feed before wake up

Moms whose babies wake up themselves at 6.30-7.30 range, when is their last night feed before waking up? Breastfed especially. If breastfed, how long do you feed for roughly and do you give both boobs? I wonder if I am cutting it too short as he’s falling asleep but wakes up after 40-50 mins past 4.30 AM feed if he...

Startle reflex!

My LB (5wks old) has been having intense startle reflex most days since birth, some are fine and don’t bother him but some are so intense they scare him and he screams crying until I pick him up (I pick him up straight away). He does it while I’m changing his nappy, sometimes in his sleep (even when I hold him) and ...

Nursing bras

How are we all knowing what size nursing bras to buy? I was an A cup before pregnancy, now two cup sizes bigger. 36+3 and beginning to think with breastfeeding that my A-C cup nursing bras will not suffice. Is there like an average range that bra size will go up based on EBF? Thanks
