Dummy

I eventually want to get rid of the dummy but I’m worried about when to do it .. she doesn’t have it during the day anymore apart from in the pushchair car seat if necessary but she has it for all of her sleep and I’m worried it’s going to cause speech delays! Has anyone successfully removed it around this age or ...

Cradle Cap Fix

For anyone who might need to know: the FridaBaby DermaFrida cradle cap kit is INCREDIBLE. We used it with regular Baby Dove shampoo and it worked SO WELL. I wish I took some before and after pictures 😫

Baby sleep on demand

Anyone else who lets their baby sleep on demand? If I see any sleep clues I’ll put him to bed, so he can have anywhere from 2-4 naps a day and he’s over 8 months.

Same room - 6 month old & 2 year old

We’re going to be building our house but in the meantime in a two bed flat with two kids. To make it work we’re thinking about making very secure bunk beds for them. Any suggestions/recommendations/thoughts about two little people sharing a room at this age? Transition may be tricky to start but think it could work ...

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!

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...

Tongue Tie
