My baby (4 weeks) is either feeding, sleeping or he’s crying. We have about 30 minutes a day of him being awake and not on the boob where he isn’t crying, is this colic? This has been the case since 3 weeks.

Baby toothpaste recommendations!

Hey mamas! I’m looking for a baby toothpaste for my 10 MO. Basically the one which is safe if swallowed, as I can’t get him to spit. Any recommendations please? Also, any tips on getting baby to spit? We tried brushing in front of him, but then all he wants to do is grab our toothbrush instead of his.

Day naps

I have really been making an effort getting LO to sleep in next to me for the first nap of the day. He will take 15 mins to settle and then only sleep for 30 mins. Whereas if he was on me he would sleep for an hour. I feel like he needs the sleep so I should just do contact but I really want him to go down for naps....

When should night feeding be stopped in order to get period back and conceive a second child at 15 months post partum?

I’m a bed sharing EBF mama who loves having her baby nurse to sleep and help himself to night feeds as he wishes (these days it is about two night feeds, one around 1 am and another around 5 am). I haven’t gotten my period back and I read that stopping night feeds might help with this. I’m not in a huge rush, but I ...
