Hello mamas, I was away in another country for about 5 months of my Mat leave and baby didn’t need a car seat there but now that I’m back baby is no longer used to the car seat and screams bloody murder and will not stop crying whatever I do. I’m literally out of ideas on what I can do to help him to start liking ca...

My son was born Jan 24 and I chose not to breastfeed due to csection. I always regretted my decision especially when he got ill. I am pregnant again and due Jan 25. I will be breastfeeding my 2nd. Is it weird to start breastfeeding My 1st too as he will okay be 12 month??

In need of knowing I’m not going through the worst regression there is 😅🤪😭😂 Are you dealing with this shit show too?! 😂

Hi! I have a 8 day old newborn and am being badgered quite a bit about attending family christmas events (i.e. lots of people in someone's living room etc) and I'm feeling a little nervous about it.

Would you take Ambien (5 mg) if prescribed during your third trimester if you had severe insomnia?

Having my second baby by elective section soon. I had my son vaginally 3 years ago. Although it was traumatic, I felt absolutely high on life from the endorphins, oxytocin etc from around 4 hours post birth and continued to feel amazing for several weeks. It was such a lovely bubble for us all. I’m curious for those...

How do you stop yourself stressing when baby is crying. I work myself up so much and start panicking to find something to stop him crying as quickly as possible. Is this a normal motherly response or am I being over the top?

My LB is almost 8 months, EBF and I’m going back to work 3 days per week in May when he turns 1. I’d love to continue him having breast milk rather than weaning him onto cows milk altogether, so basically I want to send him to nursery with a bottle of breast milk. Has anyone got experience of this? How many bottles ...

My baby is almost 8 weeks and I'm noticing some hair loss. I heard it was normal but whats kind of weird is that it seems to be right at the crown of her head. Do you think its from wearing headbands? Theres a distinct line in the loss of hair. She doesn't wear headbands all the time, just maybe for a few hours a co...

Is anyone else’s two and a half year olds refusing naps? It’s been a struggle for a few weeks now and it’s a battle I don’t think I can keep fighting. My 2.5 yr old just refuses to lay down she will throw the biggest tantrum or start laughing and playing like it’s a game. Yesterday she threw such a big tantrum bc I ...

My son doesn’t like to really repeat! 13months. So far says dads, fish, socks, hats, socks, hot, toes, shoes, turtle and maybe one or two more. People keep asking when he’s gonna actually talk! And are making me nervous. He listens to commands & understands what we’re saying I believe.

I have a 6 month old and 3 year old and, whilst I love them both more than words, and have moments where I could cry with happiness, I feel so burnt out. Our baby is waking up multiple times in the night and our toddler is also waking up at least once a night, sometimes twice. I feel like if we could just get some s...

Someone PLEASE tell me it gets better my baby wakes up screaming and takes hours to settle again, I feel so bad for him but I’m also losing it surviving on barely any sleep and having to go back to work very soon

I've recently been picking my LO up from his cot for his night feed and cuddling him to sleep in my bed/ Co sleeping. Today I've tried to put him down for a nap in his cot 6x and each time he's woken up within 5 mins. I then got in my bed and cuddled him to sleep and he slept until I put him back in his cot and he w...

My baby sleeps well over the night, she normally gets about 10-12 hours with short wakes for feeds. But when it comes to sleep during the day, it seems like she can't fall asleep for longer than 30 mins.. not always, she sometimes sleeps beautifully, but most of the times, she would literally take a short power nap ...

Any advice on sleep training routines? My LO has just turned 1 and gone from being no problems at all to now taking 3 hours to go to sleep and then awake screaming and not settling during the night I know there is a 12 month sleep regression too but me and his dad are at our wits end 😓😓

Hi, Did anyone struggle with postpartum anxiety? I’m 2 weeks postpartum and struggling. If she’s not in my sight. It’s impending doom. I had breakdown yesterday because i was afraid to take her in to Walmart with me in fear of her getting sick. I constantly ask my husband if she’s ok. I can’t sleep. I have a therapy...
