Does anyone know if one is better than the other? Currently 21 weeks and suffering from pretty severe pelvic pain but not sure at this stage would be more effective? Any thoughts or anyone with experience in this field?

How often do people sterilise breast pumps? I am exclusively breastfeeding through pumping due to poor latch. Sterilising pump every 3 hours after each use is overwhelming, specially at nights.

My baby is 15 months old, and has almost stopped taking milk. He takes 120 mL in the morning and does not want to in the rest of the day. But eats well. Is this normal? How can I make him take more!

We’re still rocking our nearly 11-month-old to sleep for both naps and bedtime. Lately, she has started waking at either 1 a.m. or around 4-5 a.m. needing to be rocked again, which is exhausting. It’s killing my back, and it’s also affecting my partner’s sleep (and mine!). I’m wondering if this is sustainable as sh...

In the last week, when my son does a poo he starts getting upset (loud crying). He can be settled quickly once he’s finished. He’s on 3 meals a day and he has gone up to 3 days without a bowel movement but lately he’s been going regularly but still crying. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? Thanks mamas x

My girl is now 17 weeks old. A few weeks ago we had a couple of nights where she would sleep 2-3 hours then was up every hour. Since then she doesn’t wake up but her sleep is very restless all night and she’s bringing her legs up in the air and rubbing her face. After her first feed in the morning she is shattered. ...

Have any one used a sleep coach or can anyone recommend any sleep training books please. Thank you x

Feel embarrassed asking this but my little boy keeps leaking through his nappies and now I’m wondering if it’s how I’m changing him? I always make sure his willy is pointing down when I put the nappy on. But he always seems to leak at the side? Any tips?

Hi ladies, we brought an Egg2 as our travel system and I absolutely hate it… we rarely ever use it as he’s always in the carrier, or just the car seat clicked onto the wheels. We’ve barely used the bassinet at all passed 6ish weeks old and not even bothered getting the bigger seat out yet as Its such a faff (huge&he...

I follow baby’s lead on naps so no exact set times but he usually sleeps on the nursery run so 8.30am - for about 30/45 mins. Sometimes can be longer. 11am - for about 30 mins Then he’s tired by about 1.30/2 so goes down for another nap and is awake by 3. This means he’s tired by 5.30 ish, so we do a bath to ...

I have a 2 week old, and I'm finding the broken sleep quite hard, and each day that passes like that, I can feel the build up of tiredness, what's the best way to cope with this?

Hi, My little boy is nearly 14 months old and he's not walking yet. He can cruise quite happily around furniture, pulls himself up fine but won't stand independently, will walk with a walker and will walk a little holding hands but won't even try on his own. I'm not overly concerned about the walking as such but the...

LO is waking up around 6:30am and I just don’t know how to change this to later, as up until about two weeks ago she was sleeping in till 9/9:30, and that was lovely because it meant I could sleep too. I brought bedtime forward by an hour because I read a late bedtime could wake them up earlier but that didn’t chang...

I feel like I’m sleeping less and less each night, I’m not eating or drinking properly. Baby girl doesn’t seem to feed long enough then doesn’t sleep much in between I jus...
