There is a lot of history which I don’t want to bore with, and too much to say about the psychological trauma I have from the relationship with my mother. The pertinent points to this post though is that I have basically been my mother’s therapist for years since I was a child, she has always put her own needs befor...

My little one starts at the childminder in April. I have until then to teach self soothing and reduce /remove him needing breast to fall asleep. He's having 4 short naps at the moment, how many are your little ones having?

7 month old keeps waking up around 4am, she will be WIDE awake. We found change nappy and feed and rocking back to sleep gets her back for couple hours. How do I stop this? I can’t keep waking up for an hour middle of the night. For reference, she has 5 bottles and 2 solid feeds (brekkie and lunch). She has 3 naps...

My 7 month old has outgrown his Shnuggle bath tub. What would be the next step up? My LB is on the chunkier side so not sure those bath seats would be comfortable for him? Thank you x

Any recommendations that will grow with him for a wla year at least

My 15 weeks baby did green poop today for the 1st time. He had his 2nd vaccination few days ago. Any suggestion why might be having this please?

I combi feed my baby girl breast feed/bottle feed in the day (8 weeks old) And she feeds once in the night (I use a bottle of breast milk in the night as its suits us better) I will wake up once/twice in the night with engorged breasts and feel the need to pump and I do because I’m terrified of mastitis. How did y...

Feels like we’re back to the newborn stage! My 18 week old won’t sleep anywhere but on me! Not in the next to me, not in the bed beside me, only ON ME! I’m shattered, I feel like we’ve been dealing with terrible sleep for weeks now 😭

Been trying putting baby to sleep tired but awake in his bedside bassinet and nope. Don’t work. He’s been crying for hours. I don’t think this is for us. My baby is too used to co sleeping.

Someone please help me figure out when I can feed my LG. She has just started penicillin for tonsillitis (very poorly baby). I have to give the medicine 1 hour before food or 2 hours after (on empty stomach). This leaves such a tiny window for her to eat!!!! I gave medicine at 6.20 when can she eat? When does she ne...

Your phone battery is 5%, you've left your charger in the bedroom with a sleeping toddler, what are you going to do? I choose peace....... Phone can wait

My LO 6 weeks has been having 120ml bottles every 2-3 ish hours up until a couple of days ago when he began to show signs of hunger after finishing his bottle . I upped his bottle to 150 but he still continues to search for more so I began to offer 180ml which he sometimes drinks or sometimes leaves about 20/30 ml ,...

However I got my period the beginning of January, again 2 and a half weeks later and now I've woke up with it again! There was suspicion i had pcos beforeha...

I will basically have exactly a 3 year age gap and I’m unsure if I’ll need a double buggy. My little boy will be at nursery half the day but at the moment he does still rely on his buggy. We bought an expensive pram for him that I am reusing so don’t really want to fork out on another. Did anyone else get a double f...

Losing my mind trying to figure out what’s going on. Baby has suddenly started waking at 5am. He’d also started fighting naps etc so switched to one nap a few days ago but he’s still waking at 5! He also seems to desperately want his morning bottle as soon as he wakes up so is he waking early because he’s hungry?? H...

Can anyone make this make sense or tell me why. I'm a SAHM and breastfeeding our ten month old who hates bottles but will take one occasionally...so getting up with her falls to me. (Note he'd definitely get up with her if I asked but he drives a semi and I don't want him wrecking). She wakes most nights crying ju...

When can a baby have a pillow? My daughter’s 14 months and every time she lays down she tries to lay herself to where she’s elevated. Shes also obsessed with playing with them. She still sleeps in her crib right next to me and my fiancé but I’m scared she’ll hurt herself

How to reduce night feeds? I think it just become habit now now hungry

Omg. Sometimes I can barely stand the noises my infant makes at night. Is she awake, is she asleep, does she need me, is this normal, did I burp her enough. It's never ending. Anyone else?
