Waiting list

Does anyone know how long the waiting list for a diagnosis in Bedfordshire? My 3 year old has just been referred and wanted to know roughly what the current wait time is as I know so many people say it takes years etc

Jumparoo or baby walker?

We would like to get my daughter one of these for Xmas but would like to know which one everyone is going for / recommends please! I heard baby walkers aren’t the safest but we would obviously be watching her the whole time.

Milk supply

I am officially 6 weeks post partum and my milk supply in my left breast has completely dried up. I always start feeding on the left and then switch to the right when my baby gets fussy at the breast. What do I do? Should I try to power pump just that breast? Has this happened to anyone else?

Anyone else’s baby get super grumpy for a while?

My daughter is about 9.5 months and for the last 3-4 days she has been so grumpy! She’ll stop in the middle of nursing to roll onto her back and cry for a minute and then go back to nursing. She’s also been sleeping about 1.5 extra hours per day. I’m assuming it’s a growth spurt or maybe (finally) teething, but my a...

Silver cross reef 2 vs bugaboo fox5

Hi there, I’m about to buy the pram as travel system with Cybex carseat, We are not to sure what to get. We have been to store and try on both. We lean towards the Reef2 cause of the size but it is also quite heavy. Fox 5 was our fav before but it is really big as it takes lots of space but so light. We live in C...

Pre-birth Health Visitor visit

Hi! Could anyone who has had a visit from the Health Visitor before the baby is born let me know roughly how long the visit is, and what they want to talk about? I will be there (36+3 with first baby) but just trying to work out whether it’s worth my husband rearranging his work schedule to be there too! Thanks :)

Nap transition 2-1

So we have been gradually transitioning to 1 nap. Today 1 nap happened but she woke ans would not resettle at all and only did 40mins!

If your toddler (17 months) is having trouble sleeping due to separation anxiety, would you...

She's previously sleep trained, but lately she panics being put in her crib. She just wants to sleep on me - though she doesn't sleep well in my bed either. She also becomes really depends on being cuddled to sleep, and quickly starts to have poor quality of sleep. But I also don't want her anxious at bed / nap time...

Weaning and trialing dairy

Hi mamas! My little tornado will be one on Christmas Day, and we’ve been dairy free since March. I’ve had a few slips with baked dairy and he seemed to handle it fine — that said, we haven’t ventured much past that and I’m ready to start transitioning away from breastfeeding (we made it so far!) Does anyone have a...

DocATot sleeping pods…

Ladies, I am thinking of getting one of these for daytime supervised naps. I am aware that I cannot use them for overnight sleep, and babies cannot spend the night. Any thoughts of daytime naps?

How are we supposed to know how much to feed?

My little one is 8 days old and is breastfed however once or maybe twice a day I express and my partner feeds her with a bottle. She’s taking 3.5oz however then starts looking for more either instantly or 45 mins later. 3.5oz seems a lot for an 8 day old, let alone her wanting more. How are we supposed to know?

Pushchair

I was just wondering if it is safe to put my 9 week olds travel system bassinet up to sitting with a newborn insert. He holds his head pretty good and the newborn insert will help him be supported and he just loves to look around and now refuses to go in his buggy when lying down. He is also quite big baby.
