Breastfeeding positions for tall babies?

My baby is 4 months old but the size of a 6-8month old. I'm fairly short on the other hand. We've been going through a breastfeeding crisis which meant I could only feed her right when she was waking up as she would otherwise get distracted by other things, so we now always feed in the side lying position on our bed...

Car seat from 6 months - high centile baby

Hello! We currently have a silver cross car seat we got in a bundle - dream I-size but not hugely impressed with it and our 4mo baby seems to be outgrowing it rapidly. He is tall and so we struggle getting him in and out the seat at a sideways angle so would ideally like an isofix one that rotates if possible, ERF a...

Crying when weaning?

I recently started giving my LG some porridge mixed with formula to start weaning. She has about two spoonfuls and then cries. Could this be that she doesn’t like it or isn’t ready? She’s 5.5 months.

Water/ bath time

Okay so my little dude has always loved bath time, pools, anything to do with water he loved. About a week ago I went to give him a bath and he started crying and screaming bloody murder. The water wasn’t hot or cold or anything. No new soaps. We’ve tried just showering with him and he still freaks out. Is this nor...

Baby being difficult about feeding

I posted this in another group but have had no answers, hoping to get some here: My baby is a week old, and he is bottle fed breastmilk. Whenever we give him the bottle he will feed from it then pull away, just to immediately cry and start rooting again for the bottle. He also lashes at the bottle and will cry while...

Co-sleeping sleep schedule

Mamas who co-sleep… What is your nighttime routine and sleep schedule for your baby? Do you set them in bed before you then come back later when you’re ready for bed? Do they fall asleep on their own or do you rock them to sleep? Do they nap in bed as well? — We’ve been co-sleeping since she was born but need to ...

Baby regrets..?

I’m 20, fell pregnant unintentionally and couldn’t live with having a termination, my boyfriend left and has a new girlfriend living his life baby free. I feel a sort of regret and mourn for my life, it feels like it’s over and I’m a sort of prisoner? I wasn’t very ambitious or a crazy party girl before falling p...

Hello! My baby was born on 8th July. She has never been a sicky baby until now. The past couple of days she has projectile vomited her first feed of the day; yesterday morning she did it mid feed and then again while I was getting dressed (being on her back probably didn’t help). Also last night I fed her in the nig...

How to improve sleep without sleep training

I really don’t want to sleep train so please don’t comment saying how well it worked for you and that I should try it. My baby is 6m (7m on Saturday) and all he wants all the time is to be picked up.
