Sleep changes

My 11 week old seems like she’s going through some sort of regression. She was doing great with sleep - sleeping through the night or only getting up once, and napping well. The last few nights she’s back to waking every 3-4 hours and her naps are only lasting 30-40 minutes. She’s also way fussier around nap times. ...

Combi Feeding

I have started to combi feed my little girl, so she has 3 bottles of formula a day and the rest is breast fed. Her poos are still very runny/watery. She’s currently on Aptimal Advance, wondering if any other babies are combi fed and have very runny poos. Only once or twice a day though, so i’m not concerned that’s i...

Painful Latch

My baby is 11 days old and we’re struggling to get a proper latch. She just wants to suck on the nipple. She’s cluster feeding and my nipples have started to hurt so bad 😩 I have seen a lactation consultant but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice or tips/tricks. Thank you so much 🖤

When to sterilise bottles / dummies

I’m currently 36w3d, but suffering with really bad lower back pains, more frequent toilet trips and loose motion. All signs of my body preparing for labour I guess. When do we start sterilising?

Am I the only one that thinks daylight savings time is the dumbest thing ever???

So because one guy has no realistic concept of how time works, we all have to disrupt our lives? Changing our clocks doesn't CHANGE anything! The earth rotates just the same as it always has. I finally got my baby on a daily nap routine, and this is just pointless confusion. It's gone on for way too long. It's time ...

Big cot recommendations Tutti Bambini?

We're moving to a big cot after using the Snuzpod and travel cot. Does anyone recommend Tutti Bambini or anything else? Not a huge amount of space in our 2nd bedroom too but LO likes to roll all the time in the cot.

Does anyone not change their LO’s nappy during the night unless they really have to?

So I used to change my first LO’s nappy every couple of hours during the night but I found that this really disturbed their sleep and with our 12 week old, I’ve tried not changing their nappy unless I really need to (like say if they have pooped) and it’s really helped to keep her more settled! Does anyone else do t...

Im an emotional wreck. Please help. What would you do if there is a situation needing action but your child has threatened bad things? Scared of pushing them over the edge so I feel at a loss. Please read:(

We had problems in the past and life has gotten a lot better. Or so I thought. Now I'm not sure. My daughter a little over a year ago mentioned harming herself (all the way) and got into crisis counseling and then normal counseling. We made a lot of lifestyle changes and I homeschool now and things hav been so wel...

He’s very early with his language and is putting multiple words tigether etc but atm when we are talking to him, he will say something, for example ‘nanny’ and will seem really happy and excited…then if I ask if he wants t...

Travel car seat suggestions

Hi folks, please can you recommend a good baby/toddler car seat for occasional use? We need one asap for an hour long taxi minibus journey and then for occasional use in grandparent's car afterwards. We'd be looking at one that belts in as opposed to isofix or anything fiddly because of taxi especially. It's for our...

FTM breastfeeding help

Hi all, I am a first time mum and my baby is 10 days old. I had a C-section and didn’t start off initially breastfeeding due to how I was feeling after the section. On day 3, I saw a lactation specialist who helped me begin my BF journey with the help of silicone nipple shields to transition her. Since then, she has...

Am I a failure for getting help?

I’m really struggling with PPD and my mum wants to stay for a few days. This would be so useful but I feel like I’m failing. I’m 29 and feel like I should be able to cope a year in but some days are still bad.

Toddler pushchairs

Hi ladies, Just looking for some good recommendations for a new pushchair. My little one is 19 months and looking for a one click type of pushchair that folds up in a compact and doesn't take much car boot space.

Pram/Car Seat

Very lucky that my parents have offered to pay for a pushchair for me but I have a question! I’d absolutely love the Silver Cross Reef 2 but I also don’t want to take the p*ss😂 So my next favourite that I looked at was the Silver Cross Dune. I’d be getting the bundle BUT the isofix base I ideally want is the…
