Just needed to express myself

I have an interview for grad school this week and I asked my advisor if it would be cool if I needed to nurse my 4 month old for like 15 min every couple hrs and just hand him back to my husband. He’s going to confirm but he’s pretty sure it’s going to be ok. But when I talked to my partner about it, he’s like yeah ...

Is my nearly 1 year old ready for one nap?

Needing a bit of advice here mums. My little girl turns 1 on Saturday and her sleep is just all over the place at the moment and me and my husband are absolutely exhausted. We think she’s going through that stage where she’s potentially needing to drop from two naps, down to one. She used to have a nap at 10am for 1...

How often is your 8 month old drinking breast milk/formula

My little one eats approx every three hours however, the last two days she’s been spitting up which she doesn’t usually. Also, sounds like a bit of reflux… Thinking I should space out her feedings a bit more. Curious how often others after feeding their littles.

Not speaking clear words or walking

Also he still only babbles and speaks gibberish, we’re try to make him say “mama” or “dada” or literally anything and he’ll...

Sleep routine tips/advice

My little boy’s sleep routine is really bad, if he goes to bed at 7/8pm he is guaranteed to wake up during the night and is awake for hours even with the lights off.. Once he does fall asleep he won’t wake up until late morning or midday the next day unless I wake him earlier.. Any advice?
