Swaddling

Anyone else still swaddle there 6 month old? Mine doesn’t roll so he’s safe but only just starting to break out of the swaddle now. I’m so sad to let this go lol! Anyway is it easy to transition to normal sleep bag? I keep thinking he’s going to wake himself up with his hand and arms. He isn’t swaddled in the day ...

Newborn travel pram

What is the best travel pram suitable for a newborn? All I can find is babyzen yoyo which seems a ridiculous amount of money to spend for one holiday. But also don’t fancy taking our bulky ocarro with us 🫠🫠

Baby Blues

I’m going right through it. There are lullabies that my firstborn had listened to and I heard one yesterday and I cried because well he grew up too quickly. I’m also crying because I feel like I betrayed him, and not being able to spend quality time like I used to with him is hurting me a lot. Everything triggers so...

Reoccurring Post partum depression

My little girl is 2.5 y/o and I was diagnosed with PPD when she was 4 month old. I was on citalopram until she was 1.5 and then was taken off of it. I was doing ok for a little while but the last 6 months have been rough and I have felt lower than ever. Has anyone experienced PPD that comes back and is it even possi...

Daytime naps 3 month old

Hi, looking for some advice on day time naps for my 12 week old little girl. The first nap of the day is in her pram (this is her longest nap of the day approx. 2/3 hours) then throughout the day they are usually contact naps and average around 30/45 mins. At what stage do you encourage day time naps in nursery cot?

Need to vent

I’m so over being a single mum… honestly it’s so fucking hard having to carry the load alone.. Anxiety riddled about letting my child down. I don’t even know myself anymore. I can’t connect with people because I’m so stuck in my own head. I’m over not being able to be this confident person in front of my child. S...

Troubles with my own Mother & depression

Hey mamas, So this isn’t about my MIL it’s about my own mother and my “mother wound”. Posting here and anon as I really just want to hear from others, see others point of view and what not. So long story short, my own mother wasn’t the nurturing type. I don’t remember ever being close to her, in my younger years I ...

Gets bored sitting in high chair

My little one gets bored eating in her high chair. Shes fine for about 5 minutes and then she wants to get out and have her food either on your lap or sat on the floor 🙈 Anyone else's little one like this? I'm not sure what to do to stop it. I try and make it fun for her and sing, be silly but she's not…

Should a 2/half year old be able to have conversations ?

My two year old can talk but he says words like car or abcs when he sees them. And thats about it. Sometimes he will repeat a word i say but barely. Should he be having conversations by now or should i talk to his doctor? When i ask him question he doesn’t answer.

How often are you still all breastfeeding?

We’re still going every 1.5 - 2.5 hours, even at nights as it’s the only thing that gets him back to sleep. Anyone else in the same boat?
