Panic attacks/night terrors in young children?

Does anyone else's toddlers/small children have panic attacks or night terrors? My son is two, and will occasionally have full blown panic attacks randomly in the middle of the night. Like, not just waking up and being upset, or just crying about a bad dream. I mean fully screaming, crying, kicking and punching, and...

Cold sore on lip - pregnant

Hi all I got a cold sore on my lower lip. It has a yellow crust. Is Aciclovir safe to use during pregnancy? Have any of you used it and did no harm to baby? Thanks

Sleeping in the cold weather

How does everyone else keep their toddlers warm at night during these cold nights? He’s in a toddler bed so no longer can use a sleeping bag. He has a duvet but seems to kick it off a lot and our room gets to 16 degrees overnight. TIA

Moving into own room

We went away for 2 nights in a hotel and it was the best nights sleep LO has had. Slept until 4:30 bottle then back to sleep until 8am. Two things that supported this I believe where she didn't have 2 dogs disturbing her as they sleep in bedroom with us and she had loads of room in travel cot. We got home yesterday...

Period and drop in milk supply

I’m about 4 and a half months postpartum and just got my first period back which I wasn’t expecting! I always heard if you breastfeed you don’t get your period back and even though I knew it was possible this still just seems so soon! Anyone else? But anyway I seemed to drop my milk supply significantly, I used to p...

Naps

Hello, my baby used to sleep until 6:30-7:30am and has 2 naps of around 2h in total. This week he has been fighting his first nap, I managed to put him to sleep but with some crying or complaining first. He has also been waking up at 5am in the morning. Can it be a sleep regression or maybe it is time to drop a nap?...

Will I ever get back to breastfeeding exclusively?

I had a very difficult birth. I planned for a homebirth, but two weeks before, I developed sciatica and hip pain that required crutches. When my waters broke, In labour experienced intense contractions within mins, but no dilation for four days—only excruciating hip pain. I ended up needing an emergency C-section. T...

Naps

How am I supposed to reduce my 6month olds naps when she's waking at 5am and not going back to sleep. She's still on 4 naps and only naps for half an hour still. I'm literally at my wits end. I feel like she's now broken into a new sleep regression, waking multiple times a night again. Then when 5am hits she's r...

Food, bottles etc

My baby hardly eats any solid food but still loves milk. He isn’t showing any signs of wanting to drop a bottle and still has 4 7oz bottles a day. I feel like I need to try and help him reduce milk in the hope that he’ll eat more but I also am a bit skeptical of this as I just think he’s still not going to eat much ...

LO still needing drink at night

I don't know what to do. My 14 month old refuses to go to sleep without her sippy. She gets cows milk, but I know she can't have it after brushing teeth. She refuses to drink plain water, and juice has to much sugar in it.
