We started weaning baby 6 days ago. So far we've only done pouches as we've been moving house at the same time and it's been chaos. She absolutely loves her food but yesterday and today she is hating her milk. We make 180ml bottles and we're lucky if she has 90ml of them. She's waking in the night starving and then ...

My son’s woken up after a 6hr stint, sucking his thumbs etc because he’s so hungry! But he won’t drink milk?? I’ve noticed a decrease in his milk drinking He drinks 4-5 ounces every 3hrs Please help

HELP! My 16 month old will only fall asleep in the bed with me I'll normally wait till he's in a deep sleep to move him into the cot but every time I move him into the cot he'll scream . He'll nap in the cot no problem I just want to stop co sleeping any advice?

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....

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 ...

Is anyone else still breastfeeding and plans to continue after 1? My LO still feeds through the night and for naps and can’t see this stopping anytime soon!

From newborn, in the uk

I really need some positive words right now. My baby is 3 weeks old and is quite fussy. I’m really struggling with my mental health where I feel down every day.

We’ve bought the Stratus i-Size car seat from ickle buba as a bundle with a pram but I’ve heard mixed reviews on it about whether it’s safe or not has anyone used it?

My baby boy hates his crib only sleeps long periods next to me or on me I’ve tried so many ways to get him to sleep in his crib nothing has really worked he’s up late at night and sleep till 2 pm I don’t wanna let him cry it out but I don’t have any other ideas

Is anyone else struggling to pump much/any milk anymore? Going back to work so was hoping to have a supply but literally struggling to get anything now, I used to be able to express a feed no problem! Just wondering if anyone else is the same now our babies are just having less generally! Thank you x

Gosh I was expecting a regression but from my baby going 11 hours a night to 1.5 hours I have a very unhappy baby in the day as he’s so exhausted and at night I’m getting little to no sleep! Please say it doesn’t last too long

My 25 month old daughter still breastfeeds, mainly to nap and sleep at night but she does have a few quick sessions throughout the day. Sometimes she may have no sessions aside from when it’s sleep time. Her dietitian has commented that there’s not much benefit of me breastfeeding as my milk will be like semi skim...

Has anyone decided that another high chair would be better and replaced theirs? I have a hauck sit N relax, using the sit up bit now of course, but you can't buy spare covers and our cover already has some damage. The cover is also a pain to get on and off Tempted to buy the hauck alpha as at least you can buy spar...

This is potentially a silly question but do we now get them proper little chairs to sit in or are people still using the bouncers??

Anyone’s once great sleeper now at 10.5 months waking up super early at 4-430am. We’ve been giving him milk to settle him back to sleep, but feel like we’re regressing by doing this as he is drinking less in the day and making up for it more at stupidly early morning sessions !

Hey there mamas. My bubs bedtime seems to be getting later these days. He used to go to bed by 6.30pm, then 7pm but now its around 8pm. Just wondering if everyone is experiencing a similar change in bedtimes? Wake up is basically 6am regardless.

My son is 2 years old, he’s not speaking yet, well.. very well, not as much as people are happy with. He’s obsessed with his numbers and letters and knows them off by heart already, which I think is very clever for his age. I’ve been told by a couple of people he makes no eye contact but with me, he does and his na...

Morning all Can I ask about sleep cycles. Like clockwork my babies naps stir at 24 minutes. Is this a thing? She can then wake fully.

Hi guys how much milk are you giving your little ones? Mines doing pretty well with solids so having/offering breakfast (8:00), lunch (11:30), dinner (4:30) and then following up with milk (bf) but I feel like I'm either constantly feeding her or forgetting to give her milk. She's still waking at night so I'm think...
