My LG is 9 weeks old and has developed a preference for lying on one side. I've noticed she's starting to get a slightly misshapen head as a result although friends and family have said they wouldn't notice unless id pointed it out. I'm worried about it getting worse / not going away as she gets older. Does anyone h...

My LO doesn’t have a bedtime routine per se.. usually falls asleep cuddled up to me on the sofa and we carry him to bed and put him in his cot but lately he wakes up screaming when we carry him up and won’t settled back down.

Will my baby get enough milk if I’ve just expressed from both boobs but he wants breastfeeding right after or will I be empty? I’m worried he won’t get anything, sometimes his feeding and my pumping schedules clash if he wakes up early for a feed etc. I don’t know what’s best to do?

Baby has nearly grown out of Moses basket , I’ve got a next to me crib but it is to big. I got very little space what is best cot or cribs for small spaces ?

We have a trip coming up and not sure at all how to manage pram and car seat situation. We aren’t renting a car and will only be taking taxis occasionally, but it doesn’t seem possible to order a taxi with a car seat. But then worried about having to lug our own car seat to the airport and check it in and if it will...

My little girl has always been a rubbish sleeper...... but got to a comfortable point for a couple of weeks, she was waking every 3 hours which was amazing for her. But now she's waking every 40-60 minutes.... and has been for a week and a half. I'm exhausted, anyone else going through similar? She'll just scream un...

I’m looking for the best way if I can’t breast feed, to feed baby. Whether this be prep machine (although I’ve heard it’s not recommended so I don’t really want to use this) or nuby rapid cool. Or just the kettle method or any other ways please? I’ve also bought a flask that mimickes what the nuby does as I’ve heard...

My LO screams the house down when he is trying to sleep, is that normal or is there an underlying issue I should look into?

At this point I honestly just feel like our relationship is over. As bad as I want it to continue I just think it’s dying and we are only coexisting and still together because I’m having a baby in February. I feel like once she gets here it’s going to put more of a strain on our relationship and we are going to brea...

I know I shouldn't stress but my 15m old can pull to stand and pretty much push herself to stand if holding on to even one adult hand. She cruises fast across furniture and has started taking a couple steps between furniture and towards you sometimes but always tips forward after 3ish steps. She favours crawling and...

my little one is sleeping 7/8 hours now through the night and I’m waking up absolutely soaking, when will my body regulate or will it not? I have no idea about breastfeeding, absolutely winging it. she’s 9 weeks old, tia

Has anyone else’s little one dropped their nap in the day completely yet? My little boy is 19 months old (20 months on 01/01/2024) and he still has a nap after lunch time at the moment but yesterday and the day before he didn’t nap (we had family over and he just didn’t want to) and he went to sleep instantly at be...

I just went for my baby's 2 month well check and my pediatrician said she was already showing early signs of crawling. (scooting herself forward with her legs and pushing off of things). She said she wouldn't be surprised if she was crawling by the time she's 4 months. I told my MIL this and she said absolutely no w...

Baby is 3 weeks old, weighing 6lb (3 weeks early) she is taking 120ml every 2 hours but she keeps looking for more, don’t know if it’s a comfort thing as she’s had an off day today, do I feed her more or leave it because of how small her stomach is?

Has anyone managed to get through the regression without any sleep training? Is it possible that babies just learn to link their sleep cycles?

So exhausted from cluster feeding. 25 day old baby is on the breast every hour in the day and most of the night continuously. Eventually settles down around 4am to 9am. So tempted to start combi feeding! Please tell me this will get better? How long is this going to last for? Is this defo cluster feeding - the sympt...

At what age were your babies sleeping in their own room?

My LO is 8 weeks old and has started sleeping for at least 7/8 hours in one stretch the past few nights. Should I still be waking her up to feed every 3/4 hours like I used to do or is it alright to just let her sleep until she wakes up at this age? She has been gaining weight well and is over 10lb now.

However now my milks come in, yesterday he managed absolute fine and was on the breast every 2 hours for half an hour however today he’s struggling. He will latch on but not suck? And he’s taking a while to latch on he jus...
