My 15mo still wakes so frequently in the night I genuinely feel like a zombie some days. Please tell me I’m not the only one and one day things will suddenly get better with sleep?? Im doing everything I can to get more sleep (co-sleeping helps for ease and his own bed is a straight up no and always has been) I do ...

Whenever my daughter was happy or excited about something she would do a little squat and move her butt side to side. I was like weird but okay. I started taking notice that she only does this when she’s excited and it reminded me of how a dog wags its tail when they are happy. Then it hit me she is mimicking Bluey ...

My health visitor says I shouldn’t give my 8oz bottle of cow’s milk (in a MAM bottle) before bed because the sugar can settle on her gums overnight. She suggested warm water instead, but that feels odd to me. What do you give your babies as a warm bedtime drink?

I am looking for a light weight toddler sling and would love any recommendations. I have a carrier with the big wedge thing but I want something a little easier to take on and off. The one I’m considering is in the comments.

So my doctor prescribed me something for my depression and we are going to see if that helps. I think I know the reasons I’m depressed but there is nothing I can do about it. If anybody has any advice or ways that may also help it would be appreciated.

Anybody's little ones just point blank refusing to nap? She sleeps fine theough the night (mostly - usually only 1 wake up between midnight and 7am) but she often refuses to nap at all. Her longest record is 14 hours with no sleep. Today she woke up at 4, fell asleep again at maybe 4.45, woke up at 7 and has had a 2...

My LG is 12 weeks and hasn't been for a poo since Wednesday evening and that was...well let's say she needed a bath afterwards 😅 she's breastfed with 2 bottles of EBM a day (5oz/4oz) and been a lot hungrier the last few days. Anyone else going through something like this? Dreading the next nappy change 🙈

My little boy is the most sweetest & caring little boy ever. All he does is smile and is happy. He started nursery last August to help him. He has been great so far. Until recently he is NOT listening to me or his dad, will shake his head no at us(he can’t speak just yet) he will soon be 3. And now he keeps pushing ...

Is there such a thing is highchairs for older children??? My LB will be 3 in summer but I would say he is quite tall.

Does my baby have to be taught to sleep independently in order to get through a sleep regression?

I am a little over two weeks postpartum, and I feel like my supply may have already dropped in the past two days. My breasts never feel full, and I'm not sure if that has to do with my son feeding on me almost every hour or two (he uses me as a pacifier to fall asleep), plus pumping about 6 times a day. I'm maybe ma...

Hi guys, My little one has turned one a few weeks back and would like to change his milk bottle from the small Tommee Tippee to something more age appropriate in regards to his development. Any suggestions please as the options are endless. He currently drinks his water using the Munchkin click lock sippy which ...

Hiii so my bf lost his DL and has a flight on the 18th. Can he use his ID instead? Is it still valid since he has his license now? If I’m remembering correctly when I was younger they voided my permit of course but I think they told me my ID isn’t valid anymore . Not 100% positive or can we use paper ID to fly?

My baby is 6 weeks and still not smiling should I be worried how do I encourage it?

I need someone to tell me it isn't just me haha. I get so sad to the point of tears everytime baby feeds and we are 2.5 months in. I started birth control a few weeks ago and I feel like it has heightened hard core since then. It doesn't happen when I pump but baby refuses bottles. Does it subside at some point or i...

I’m 40 weeks now and anxious about the birth of the baby (my first), but know I’ll be ok and get through whatever happens with the support of my partner. I’ve previously been set on my mum being in the room with us when I’m in labour and delivering but the last few weeks I’ve been having second thoughts and don’t ...

My baby is 14 months old and isn’t walking independently. She has taken steps and I know she’s capable as she walks with her walker or holding one of my hands all day long. It’s like she just refuses to? She doesn’t stand much either. She’s been crawling since 8 months and cruising on furniture since 10. She’s super...

I’ve noticed out of no where my child has become VERY clingy. Will not play by themselves, will not eat if I’m not next to them. Won’t sleep if they know I’m not next to them. Is this a phase that will pass? For more context. Before the 8 month mark she played, ate, and entertained herself without me needing to be ...

My 4 week old has suddenly started to be quite sick after feeds and seems in a little discomfort. He does seem to drink from the breast quite fast and I struggle to unlatch him to try to slow him down. Anyone else had this or can suggest anything?

My 6 week old will only take daytime naps if she’s being held/worn. She goes down in her crib overnight, but daytime naps are strictly contact, otherwise she wakes up. I have no problem with this as everyone says I should enjoy it while it lasts and she’s still so small, but I was wondering if there were any mums ou...
