Waking up screaming after 45 mins

Hey ladies Ever since my little boy was about 4.5/5 months old, whenever he goes down at night, he always wakes 45-60 minutes later, screaming and is inconsolable for a good 20 minutes. We have tried so many things, earlier bed time, later bedtime, changing bath times, no bath, early and late dinners, massage, rea...

Double baby monitor recommendations

Baby no2 is due in 6 weeks so we are looking for a baby monitor where we can have one camera in my sons room and the other in our room where baby will be sleeping. I’ve been looking at the babysense duo monitor but it doesn’t have a mobile phone app which would be good to have. Has anyone got any recommendations?

Night wakes

I don’t really mind my boy waking up at night but what I hate is that he wakes up hysterical. It’s impossible to calm him sometimes. BFing usually works but sometimes doesn’t. Definitely wants me there but will scream and thrash around if I touch him, but if I ignore him he will try and get to me. Does not want his ...

Today, I was in the kitchen prepping dinner & my husband was in the living room with our daughter. She starts crying & then I remember that it’s time for her to eat again. So I ...

Bang bang choo choo train 💥

Has anyone that had a vaginal delivery have sex yet? I got a second degree tear during delivery as a FTM. I’m absolutely terrified and need some guidance😭 For me it still feels “tight/tender?” down there from the tears healing. Not sure if that will ever go away. It might be from the scar tissue. Help!

I'm writing this in pure desperation.

From the moment my son was born he has been difficult to put to sleep. It has been over a year now and every single nap time. Bed time is more than a fight. I just do not understand why he doesn't want to sleep. We've tried to teach him to self settle by leaving him in the cot and sitting next to him. Did not work....
