aw sorry to hear that for your friend but I’m glad she has found someone lovely who supports her 🤍

I had a abusive husband for 5 years and I finically left a year and a half ago to meet my current boyfriend who is the best boyfriend honestly I think it made me realise how much better my life is since leaving. I was married to a man who made me chronically tired and ill I lost my hair because of stress. I had really bad mental health. To know I’m in uni doing a degree in criminology in my own home and actually trying to make friends and about to go on my first family holiday becuase he’s not spending all my money. It is tough getting out, but think about all the things you can do once you leave xxxx

Not me personally but my mum definitely! Youre not losing anything by leaving because you’re miserable anyway/l- there is always someone better!

aw so happy you got out for the better! It’s stories like this that really make me feel a lot better. Thanks for sharing 🫶🏽xx

My best friend left her abusive partner when their daughter was around 6 months old
She started a relationship with her now husband around a year or two later
They have a child together now, and he has children too in his custody so they are all a blended happy family!

It’s ok, that’s what we’re here for to all support each other through the hardest. I think also if your sitting and thinking does my boyfriend even love me. Then he isn’t the one for you because he if he truly loved you and appreciated you for bringing his baby into the world he would appreciate you fully so you don’t feel let down. My boyfriend isn’t the father of my children and I’ll tell you what he is the bestest fatherly figure he’s shown me and the kids what love is. Keep going your doing well your children deserve to see their mum happy not barley surviving xxx

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!
