Baby

Hi girls, I just had a phone call from a health visitor to say they now do antenatal assessment, it's not mandatory but something they offer. I don't think I want a antenatal assessment, I've helped with newborns before and know what I'm doing despite it being my first baby but I know what I'm doing you know? Has...

I put my almost 1 yr old little girl in the backseat so I can turn on the car. We just finished visiting a daycare and wanted to park so I can give her some snacks before heading to the mall. When I opened the backseat door so I can sit with her, i didn’t notice that she was leaning on the door…so she fell when i op...

I have a hair appointment tomorrow and was not planning on taking baby however leaving her with dad means he will have to be up earlier than usual after a night shift and she also had her first injections today so would like her with me… but not sure if it’s the done thing?

My baby is 6 months old. I’m meant to be leaving her for a night at the weekend. The last two nights my partner has tried putting her to bed but she has screamed and cried until I eventually came to settle her. I gave him my pyjama top that I’ve slept in the last couple of nights to try and help but it didn’t make a...

Hi lovelies, I am 29 weeks pregnant with our boy and starting to aggressively nest 😂 We have been super lucky to have been passed along tons of stuff including baby rockers/Moses baskets etc that are all in really good condition. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on what to use to clean/disinfect them…

Mixed advice on whether I should be burping my breastfed baby? A HV said today to trial without as it just seems to annoy my little one more after a feed and when she’s fallen asleep?

Ok, am I the only one who feels like they’re being ripped open during sex at the beginning? Like I had a 2nd degree tear so I had stitches but I’m 14 weeks pp and I figured I wouldn’t feel like that anymore at this point? It literally feels like I still have stitches and they’re ripping open 😂 anyone else???

Is anyone else’s 6 month old going through a patch where they’re not sleeping very well and waking every couple of hours in the night again?. Last night he was so restless and crying, was like the newborn days again 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey! My 9 week old sleeps so rubbish at night, he is exclusively bottle fed, he goes down around 8/9 after a feed, then wakes every 3 hours for a feed, I’m reading people posting at this age their babies do like 6 hour stretches, this seems so far off for me, he also from after the 11/12/1am feed, has really interru...

I’m coming towards the end of my second trimester and I’ve got like something crystallising out of my nipple. Could this be colostrum?

Hay yall so I had my baby 8 months ago and it is HARD work. Only help I have is my mom and she watches her like once every two months and the rest of my family is in NYC. My baby’s father lives with me but has had 2 seizures since our child was born and can’t help me at night because he needs rest or he will seize a...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone else has been instructed to do formula top-ups for their little ones. We had to do this because our LG lost quite a bit of weight early on. She’s now 5 weeks old, has surpassed her birth weight, and has been discharged—all is good. We would like to gradually reduce the fo...

I'm embarrassed to say my 3yo still doesn't sleep well at all. She can take so long to go to sleep and either myself or husband have to lie with her until she's asleep. She then wakes EVERY night without fail and can't fall back asleep without us. We have a 6month old baby now so one of us is with her and the other ...

I’ve been cosleeping with my little guy since he came home. We were in the hospital and he spit up and was choking on it while I was in the restroom and after that I had such bad postpartum anxiety that I literally would not put him down to sleep. He slept on me and then we just kept that going. Now almost a year la...

My little boy will be 9 weeks tomorrow. Over the last few nights, particularly in the evenings he won't settle with his dad. He'll only settle if he's with me. As much as I love him it would be nice to be free even just for 20 minutes in the evening!! Is this a known thing at this age? Is it a phase? I breastfeed if...

How in the world are you meant to tell what sleep sacks are what tog once you’ve thrown away the packaging? I’ve got some 2.5s and some 1.5s and I can’t tell which is which. Can’t see anything on the label and can’t find the same ones online to see what they are advertised as. Am I missing something?
