sterilisation of the breaspumps

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.

Milk intake

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!

Still rocking to sleep at 10.5 months old - is this sustainable?

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...

Crying when pooing

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

Sleep regression?

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. ...

Boy mums

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?

Not walking yet

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...

How do I stop the early wake ups?

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.
