Increasing milk supply!

Please help, my milk supply used to be anywhere from 3-6 ounces on each side and now I’m lucky if I get 1 ounce on each boob. I stopped pumping as much because I was combo feeding, but now my baby is lucky if he even gets one bottle of breast milk per day! I just want my normal supply back!

Pram Travel System

When is the best time to change my pram over to the seat rather than the bassinet? My little boy is 3 nearly 4 months old and is super nosey he enjoys looking around when he’s in his pram and I just feel like he can’t see much whilst lying down in the bassinet! Recently I’ve been keeping him in his car seat whilst w...

Seen on social media lots of people have up styled / upgraded the Ikea high chair with a foot bar, insert cushion, pad for the tray, even the legs seem to have been changed with covering of sorts. Anyone done this?

My almost 5 month old is crying all the time, hardly having any milk, and won’t sleep 😩

I don’t get what’s happened, for the past few days he’s been crying so much, he’s hardly drinking his milk, he’s absolutely screaming when I try put him down for a nap (he’s usually difficult but this is a different ball game). At night he’ll go down for about 2 hours and then we have to settle him every 5-10 minute...

Strollers

I need to find the best double stroller or wagon for my kiddos, by the time my second is born my oldest boy will be almost 17 months and I’ll have a newborn, I’ve been trying to find a double stroller that will hold a baby car seat but nothing overly expensive.

Switched on

Is anyone else’s child incredibly switched on these days. We worked it out she knows over 100 words and can do things that Google says 2/3 year olds should know. You can tell her something once and she knows how to say it eg my partner showed her a turtle the next day she picks her turtle bath toy out and calls it b...

Can anyone talk me through how their dealing food stained clothes (Sure I read somewhere before that people are whipping them off after feeding and spraying or soaking them in something until they’re ready to do a load of washing)

As I can’t be doing a few loads of washing a day just for a few bits of clothing 😅 But need some sort of routine of tackling these food stains before they become permanent stains Thanks!

Anyone tried sleep training?

Our little boy still sleeps in the bed with us and needs cuddles to stay and fall asleep. I've reached my wits end and really want to transition him into his own room now, with the help of a sleep consultant. Has anyone done this and give some insight into their experience?

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...
