Been in the 2 to 1 nap transition for the last 84 years now (may or may not be exaggerating) Last few weeks the morning nap has been a short cat nap leading to total refusal of an afternoon nap which all equals a grumpy baby for the rest of the day My problem is that this baby will nap for 30-40 mins max at home. It...

Absolutely sobbing as I type this. My baby girl is almost 8 weeks old and I feel so inadequate. In the first few days, everyone was telling me "it's fine, you'll figure it out, don't worry you'll come to understand your baby" Except I still don't, and it is driving me completely nuts. I have no idea what she wants, ...

My daughter finally outgrew her Joie iSize which we had in our small car. We moved her Spin 360 into this car from our bigger one and bought the Joie Every Stage for that car instead - the thought process being that this would then last her past 4 years old. I’m disappointed in the Every Stage because the isofix o...

My daughter has just turned 10 months and is not crawling, not pulling up to stand, has rolled a handful of times but not for months, hates tummy time but trying to persevere! Is anyone else's the same? She can push up on her arms for a short period of time but has never brought her knees up. I'm so worried she's ne...

Help! I exclusively breastfeed and need to pump some milk for a couple of bottles so I can leave the baby with my partner. Every time I’ve tried, my little one is so grouchy and unsettled for the rest of the day. It’s as if the milk I express results in him not getting enough in subsequent feeds. I don’t want to ...

Anyone else’s baby get really frustrated and angry when on their tummy and can’t crawl or move? Ours screams the house down, but I know that tummy time is the only way they will develop the skills to crawl. Any advice?

Baby has been waking up at 4am or 5am for an hour and then goes back to sleep. I’ve tried getting her back to sleep as soon as she wakes up but it doesn’t work. She’ll be up for at least an hour before getting sleepy again. This happens regardless of earlier or later bed times or naps. When she’s awake she doesn’t l...

My son is currently 7 weeks old. His next appointment he will need the first shots they get and I wanted to hear some opinions about vaccines! My other kids are all vaxxed I started reading into some and I’m worried about the things in them and things that happened to some babies from them. He will need the Hep B, r...

Honestly I never thought I’d consider this but after 5 months of sleeping a max of 3 hours every night I’m gonna exhaust all options. My LO has terrible sleep, we were lucky that he used to do a 4 hour stretch and then wake every hour. He hit the regression and was waking every 30 minutes at night. We’re now in the...

When do you put your next to me crib in your actual bedroom? Xx

My baby is 6 weeks old, for the past two weeks at about 8pm he becomes un settled, kicking his legs up and won’t settle for bed unless he’s on me with his belly on mine even then takes 2 hours to fully settle him. The past couple of days he’s hard to settle down will feed then will cry until I put him on his front o...

Omggg I can’t believe I didn’t know about these sooner ! These have been a life saver , no more nursing pads and wet shirts . In 48 hrs I’ve collected 2oz in let down milk . I empty them into a bottle every time I feed my LO so the milk doesn’t go bad sitting in the cups which is every 2hrs sometimes less . Its mind...

little one doing better with eating solids, is trying and eating more, naturally she is dropping milk amounts (she is bottle fed and has mainly breastmilk and a little formula) because of this but she won't really drink much water and we haven't got onto trying cows milk properly, any thoughts or similar experiences?

Mommas help! When are we moving our babies from the infant seat?! He’s still way under the weight limit to move to a big car seat however he is getting too long. The head rest is all the way up already. Also what car seat do we recommend? I looked at the safety first grow and go but then after reading more into the ...

What nappies have you found that last the whole night without baby needing a change?

Hi everyone! Looking at different car seats (it’s a minefield!) looking at either the Ickle Bubba Rotator 360° 0-12 Years or the Joie i-Spin Multiway Car Seat 0-7 years. Has anyone got either of these and if so what’s your opinion on them? Thank you!

Hi. Being told different information from doctors / health visitors / midwife’s which is confusing. Out of interest (for formula fed babies) how much is your baby having per feed / per day at what age? Thanks.

Does anybody have any pushchair recommendations for tall parents? I’m 5”10 and my husband is 6”5 so we want something that’ll work for us! Thanks 🤩

!! Trigger warning !! Depression/anxiety/toxic relationship Hello, I’ve come here to seek positive stories, if there are any. I’m at the end of my second pregnancy. My first baby came after a stressful but well managed period of my life. They’re great. But this pregnancy was made awful to me. Just fights over fight...

First time mom here to an 11 week old preemie. She just got home 4 days ago. Usually I am a very light sleeper to the point I can hear my boyfriend get up to go to the bathroom. I’ve been doing her morning and late night feeds and he helps with a couple during the day. She apparently cried for really hard and I didn...
