Double pram?

Hi! I’m currently pregnant with number 2 and they’ll be about 18 months apart and looking into double prams, possibly considering the bugaboo donkey. Has anyone used it? Does it fit through doors and busses?? Or does anyone have any better recommendations? Xx

9 week old not sleeping in cot- please help!

My (6 weeks corrected) baby has always been good at sleeping in her cot and will usually sleep two hour stretches during the day and 5-6 hours at night. Since last week she has started to wake up every five to ten minutes crying as if she’s scared or startled. She’s sleeping the way she always does: dim room, sw...

Breastfeeding guilt

I’ve seen so many moms talk about how they have up breastfeeding a lot earlier than one year, mainly cos of the stress and all the things in between. Breastfeeding isn’t easy. I really want to stop breastfeeding but i can’t bring myself to. My baby LOVES the boob. He still takes bottle(formula) and I think I’m also ...

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 ...
