Has anybody got rid of their babies dummy yet? We’re on night 2 of no dummy but I’m just wondering how long until she’s forgot about her dummy?

Is it worth buying an expensive pram like icandy? I’m just thinking I’ll probably use a doona when out food shopping etc and the I candy’s look bulky to out in the boot🥲 but they are so stunning! Any recommendations?

Is there a benefit for buying a next-to-me style crib rather than a bassinet? What do people recommend?

My baby boy is 7 weeks old on Tuesday. I find when he’s going to sleep it takes agessssss for him to get into a deep sleep. He constantly wakes up crying, whining, kicking his legs. I’m wondering if this is just REM sleep or if he’s in any sort of discomfort. Also, I’m paranoid about the room temperature, heard & re...

My 11 week old sleep through the night like 10pm-10am sometimes he use to do 11pm-7am so he had 5 5oz bottles a day. But now he's sleeping in more in the morning he misses his 7am bottle so he's now having 4 6oz bottles a day as he only seems to want a bottle every 3-4hrs throughout the 12hrs he's awake. Do I need t...

I’ve been suffering a lot with anxiety since becoming a mum, especially around health and always assuming the worst will happen (I can’t even type the word as it makes me feel I will make it happen). I’ve tried sertraline but I want more than to just cover this feeling, if that makes sense. I’m curious to know wha...

I have EBF for 3 months. My little and I have been sick for over a week, I’ve taken her to the pediatrician twice and they are saying it’s just a cold. I noticed on Friday that I wasn’t making as much milk as usual and today I’m barely making any. I’ve pumped twice today and got less than one ounce from both sides...

Hi girls! Soooo I have recently converted to Christianity, I was raised with two moms(ofc I still speak with them and love them immensely) and I wasn’t raised with any religion and was kinda always taught that Christianity condemned my family and my moms lifestyle so I felt like I had to choose either God or my moms...

I’m 7 months pregnant and looking at posts about how babies should be fitted into car seats honestly feels like rocket science! Does anyone have any sources of info that are safe and correct that I’ll be able to follow when baby comes? Seems like everyone has diff opinions when people post their babies in their car ...

We've tried virtually everything to ease her, is there any other suggestions?

Hi all, my baby’s skin is super dry (scaly texture) - any safe product recommendations would be much appreciated! He’s 5 months old and we bathe him every second day as he does sweat in the night. Thank you!

Has anyone got their toddler a tablet yet? I’m debating getting him one for Christmas. Not for everyday use just for his hospital appointments and mine specially mine to keep him entertained. And maybe the odd long drive (my partner is from wales so we go every so often) Also to clarify it’d only be used for bbc I p...

What are good supermarket nappy brands?? We normally use Amazon but it won’t be delivered in time x

What are you doing or did you do with your hair down south for giving birth? I know they say midwives have seen it all and dont care but I’m a natural overthinker and usually shave but I’m not sure whether to let it grow free or trim or what!

My 17th month old twin 1 told me she doesn’t love me today. Yesterday she told her dad she loved him and this is the first time she’s ever said it to anyone. I’m heart broken. All day she’s refused to come near me wouldn’t even hug me which usually she does all day long 😭 I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong I…

Looking at getting a baby bjorn bouncer but little one is now 5 months old, is there much point or will he outgrow it soon does anyone know please?

If you co sleep how do you manage to get any evening time to yourself and with your partner? I’d love to just have an hour or so in the evening to watch a show or catch up on stuff but I’m going to bed with my LO as he breastfeeds to go to sleep and I just fall asleep with him as I’m often so tired I need to but wou...

Since beginning of October I've had THE worst sleep regression so far with my little girl. I could get her down in her cot but she'd wake multiple times. In the last few weeks she's been poorly with a cold so she won't even go in her cot now and will only sleep with me. Tonight, I'm trying to stick to her cot. I'm...

9 weeks pp and still no period. Is this normal? ( combi feeding)

I feel awful. I see here so many mums including new mums with a set routine but I don’t have any and I worry this will affect my baby. I keep on top of wake windows being 1.5-2 hours long and my baby is happy in general, feeds well, healthy, etc. Her sleep at night used to he great and got really bad but it seems to...
