Appreciate that the guidelines say that formula should be discarded 2 hours after it’s made, but is there any harm to baby if this was longer? Sometimes my baby will only drink a couple of ounces and then want a top up a couple of hours later - can I get away with feeding her the same bottle or? (Obviously I want to...

My 6 week old is really agitated after a feed! He is bottle fed with expressed breast milk and formula, he doesn’t cry just seems really uncomfortable arching and grunting and never seems “milk drunk”. Has anyone had any experience of this? Running out of ideas!

I’m pregnant with my first baby and hoping to breastfeed, I have both of my nipples pierced. From what I’ve read you can just remove them during feeding and then replace them after. Has anyone had any experience themselves? Did you find it an annoyance to keep removing them and replacing them? Ideally I’d love to ke...

I might be delusional (which is highly likely after dealing with CMPA for the last 5months), but when weaning can someone explain to me how a bad nappy (looser/colour change/diarrhoea/mucus etc) means that food is a fail? I’m genuinely confused, because we are giving our babies something they have never eaten befor...

I used to have a short shoulder length cut and decided to grow it out (which took nearly 3 years) but now I’m ready to go short again. I don’t want to regret it, but I never have time to style my hair as it is with a toddler. It’s so long and thick and usually just gets thrown back in a bun/clip. Help!!!

9 weeks pp and I still haven’t gotten my period but I’ve been cramps the past two weeks as if it is starting. Has anyone gotten it yet? Was it as bad as people say it is? I’m not breastfeeding and I know that can cause delay sometimes.

Not quite sure how to approach the situation, but i got a text from my sd mom saying she's no longer comfortable with my sd calling me mommy and has asked i correct her to my first name or some other nickname, when she's been fine with it for the past two years. A little background, I came into my sd life when she h...

My 9 month old eats a lot of both solids and formula and he still isn't sleeping through the night. He wakes up at about 3-4 for a bottle and I'm trying to ween him off of it but he won't go back to sleep at all without it. I'm exhausted, I've tried sleep training and anything that worked for his sister and even new...
