My little one is due to start nursery next month. She currently demand feeds during the day. She does pretty well on solids and is a bit hit and miss with drinking but can drink from a tum tum cup fine. I don't know how much milk to send with her for nursery. I think she will definitely need/want some for before nap...

So my car just died. I'm so sad because I loved it to pieces but it was a long time coming. Was a 1992 Toyota Camry Wagon. All my cars have been from the 80s, 90s and I'm a big fan of that aesthetic but unfortunately with all the costs that come with kids can't risk having to spend the big money on old car problems....

So I’ve decided today that I’m taking my little boys dummy off of him and I’m dreading it, realistically how bad actually is it he’s only 6 months so I can’t even explain it to him, he’s already not allowed it when he’s awake unless he’s inconsolable which has only happened a couple times since i stopped it whilst a...

Please can someone advice a good value reasonably priced bottle steriliser. Looking to buy new for hygiene purposes. Thank you !!!

What are people using to wash baby’s clothes? I normally use gel, fabric softener and scent boosters and was planning on getting fairy non bio - should we stay away from fabric softener and scent boosters and only use gel/pods etc?

Every time I use my sterilising machine it always goes brown and I need to descale it every time I use it, the bottles then stink and I need to do it again, should I get a new machine? I put in the correct amount of water as it needs and still does it.

So my 6 week old HATES the car! And I mean HATES. Screams the whole time. A scream like I have never heard before. Anyone have any tips?

I feel like I’m going wrong with my 8 week olds sleep at the moment. He wakes up quite frequently in the night and I think it’s Becuase he’s cold/uncomfortable. So what sleep sacks/ swaddles does everyone use?

Anyone still breastfeeding and if so how often during the day and at night (if applicable)?

I have no idea what I will need, obviously a pram but that is the most obvious thing to me! Anything else I should get for baby? What pram is best?

Anyone else’s baby saying little words with meaning yet? And any of you getting a mama?? She reacts to her dad, points to him, singles him out in photos etc and says “dada” sometimes “daddy” She recognises that cats are cats so she says cat. Also sometimes the dog but only ever to animals does she say cat. And th...

My son squeals, screams and odd noises but don’t think he babbles, any advice how to encourage it please?

Hello! Im in need of a pram/stroller to take abroad and to the beach. Ideally with a good recline so baby can nap, and lightweight. Any suggestions?? Thanks

This has only happened since the start of the week he used to go 3/4 hours now it’s exactly every 2? 🍼🍼

How to people actually cope i have had 6 hours sleep in 3 days I'm at the point where I can't function. I burnt my self making a bottle earlier genuinely don't know what to do. He'll only nap on my chest still so i can't sleep when he sleeps either. I'm a broken woman

Is anyone else’s baby not making it that far in wake hours? My boy is 6 months today, he’s sleeping well through the night (one wake up) and is barely lasting 60-90 minutes before he’s ready for another nap! He was doing longer so guess it’s just another one of the thousand leaps/regressions they go through?! Fir...

Has anyone used a tens machine previously in labour? Did it help at all? My friend has offered that I can borrow hers but I have no idea if it will help or actually do anything? I’ve never used one before

Hey everyone, I’m nearly scared to ask this question 😭😭😭. Is there a 6 month regression? We were in the TRENCHES and i mean trenches with the 4 month regression it lasted about 8 weeks and I came out of it a broken women 😭🤣 but since then sleep has been fine - my baby doesn’t sleep all night but we maybe have 1/2…

Hello I have a two year old (only child) who isn’t in nursery but attends playgroups throughout the week. She says words mainly with me and her dad, she’s very chatty but still has her own language. Her sentences are mainly “okay mumma” “okay dadda” “going for a walk” that sort of thing. What’s your toddlers speech ...

Does anyone have any swaddles they can recommend? My baby loves having her arms up but with the love to dream swaddle she keeps waking her self up by touching her face with her arms in the swaddle, so I think maybe she needs a good one with her arms strapped in down?
