6 month old constipated

So my little one just turned 6 months a couple weeks ago and I’ve started giving him rice cereal - just a tablespoon a day. He hasn’t pooped in 3 days and today he did, but it looked hard. He was also straining and grunting a lot, but thankfully not crying in pain. I’m a little worried. How much water are we meant t...

Introducing formula

I know all HV say this won’t make baby sleep longer but has any one tried it and it’s had a positive impact on sleep? My little one for the last few months has been waking every hour - two hours. I can hardly get him to feed in the day as he is too distracted. I was wondering if giving a bottle of formula in the d...

Toddler on motorbike with BD

Would you let your 3 year old go on a motorbike with your BD? My SO has been taking our son on his motorbike. He straddles him between his thighs and has my son wear a bike helmet. I said I no and I wasn't okay with it but he does it anyway on days that I'm working. His motorbike goes up to 50mph but he says he only...

Sleep regression 😩

My son will be one on Saturday and for the last couple of weeks he has been waking just before 5am. He doesn't have a dummy and will not go back to sleep. He sits there babbling away and occasionally whimpering or crying. I'm reluctant to go in and see him before 6am because as soon as he sees me he will demand milk...

Conflicted whether I should stop pumping.

My son stopped latching at about 16weeks so I have been exclusively pumping ever since. He is almost 8 months and my milk supply has significantly dropped. Mostly because I stopped overnight pumps and became very inconsistent. We had a rough time with sleep when he got his bottom teeth. He is mostly drinking formula...

Bassinet transition /baby monitoring

My 10 week old has been in a bassinet in our room since day one. Lately though he has been kicking and flailing and restless when I put him down for the night that he’s rocking his bassinet. When is an appropriate time to transition him to his crib? His pediatrician said by 4 months but I’m not sure if it’s too soon...

Devastated

I lost my entire freezer stash tonight to a power outage. 2.5 gallon freezer bags filled with breastmilk storage bags. I am beside myself. My supply since returning to work has been barely enough, sometimes a little short and now my whole safety net is gone. I don't know what to do or how to deal with this crazy fee...

Sleep through the night help!

No matter what I do, my baby will not sleep through the night! He’s formula fed. We’ve sleep trained, but has always needed 1-2 feeds throughout the night no matter how much we tried to sleep train him through that. We also have tried weaning him off which just makes him wake up more frequent to drink more. We’ve tr...
