Any ideas why he’s doing this?

My boy is 5 months old and the last couple days keeps doing this… whilst feeding he keeps pushing the bottle away and trying to put his hands in his mouth instead but then wants the bottle because he’s hungry… I don’t get it 😂 I already tried to up the teat size but it was too fast for him as he has tongue tie,…

Do you try to get baby to sleep in sling/carrier or does it happen naturally?

I was wondering if you try to get your baby to sleep (like bouncing on pregnancy ball) or if you just go about your chores etc and they happen to fall asleep along the way?

Colostrum

I know every body is different but I’m worried I won’t produce any colostrum. Been told to harvest it at 36 weeks (in 2 weeks time) but there is nothing there atm and I’m worried it’ll be the same in two weeks. Does it just magically appear once you start to hand express?

Real deal

lol. I kept buying baby versions of my Amazon remote. It doesn’t work. My son knows the difference. Then I tried giving him an extra Roku remote because my oldest has a Roku TV. NOPE it doesn’t work. I just caved in and got him the real deal remote so he can leave mine alone 🤣. Toys are such a waste of money…

Sleepy baby

My son is 4 weeks old. Typicaly during the day when toddler is at preschool he is awake a lot and feeding every 1-2 hours. We are lucky as he will go 5 hours overnight. I have just decided to wake him for a feed as got to 5.5 hours and now yawning. He's usually awake 3-4 hours and sleep 1-2 hours. Would you worry?

Crying

I’ve cried twice in the last 7 days because of argument with spouse. First cry was around 15 minutes. Today I cried on and off for an hour. I’m worried I’m harming the baby. Almost 36 weeks pregnant. Does anybody else experienced this? Any advise would be great.

Breastfeeding supply

I’ve been working so hard to breastfeed and get the latch right despite lots of pain at first and still working at it. Thought we were doing really well but baby kept crying so offered him a top up.. usually he’d only have 30ml or so but this time he took 90ml! So he’s clearly not getting enough milk. Grateful for a...

Loft room for baby…

We’re looking at houses and one we love would mean our 1 year old being in a loft conversion. Stair safety aside - as we have plans for this - are there any other issues with having a small child in a loft conversion? I’ve read they can get quite hot in summer but those posts were in the US and were in Greater Lo...

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!

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...
