Feel guilty leaving 6 week old with grandparents.

Toddler wants to go out with me and dad but newborn is too young to go out now. How do I go out for a couple hours not feeling guilty? How do I store formula? Can it be left in fridge for grandparents to warm up and use? They might not know how to mix formula. How do you mamas manage a couple hours without baby? Min...

Does your LO hate nappy changes?!

Now my LO is crawling, he just immediately crawls away from nappy changes and leaves me chasing him round the room praying that he doesn't get anything on the carpets! But also when we're out and about he SCREAMS on the changing tables like we are torturing him! I think it's because he just wants to be moving but is...

Late Preterm Troubles

So, my daughter was delivered at 36 weeks, and my whole journey with her has been tough. Her time in the NICU has made the bottle-to-breast transition extremely difficult. Her pediatrician has warned me that she may be a little immature, and her slight tongue tie coupled with the fact that I have diabetes and had un...

How do you all put your baby to sleep?

My husband says I should put the baby in the cot and, if the baby cries, leave them there until they fall asleep. However, I can’t do that. Do you have any suggestions for getting a baby to sleep that don’t involve holding them on my chest?

Breastfed babies and sleep

Anyone’s exclusively breastfed baby sleeping through the night? My 6.5 month old still wakes up several times (once if I’m lucky). I had this problem with my two year old as a baby as well. I’m starting to think ebf babies don’t sleep well😅 I don’t do sleep training so it’s rough over here most nights.

Sleep Regression

My little one has always been a good sleeper but since just before she turned 9 months, we are in the thick of a sleep regression. She's up a few times a night and is taking 2 hours to settle. Anyone going through the same? Any advice or words of solidarity? It's 4.12am and I am not okay 😂 x

Advice please?!

I have been having a really frightening symptom of being disconnected from reality, almost like I’m in a coma but pretty much alive? Has anyone had postpartum psychosis and worked through it without help? Thanks
