Life with a newborn brings lots of time to think and lots of things to worry about: from formula and breastfeeding to sleep and self-care. Peanut is here to share real stories from real women and expert information to support your first year of motherhood.
My baby is 6 days old, I want to start going out but I’m a little nervous about breastfeeding in public, sometimes she doesn’t latch well and it can take a while but I don’t want it to stop me getting out. Any recommendations on how to cover up but still get her sorted without it becoming too stressful for both.
Our baby is due on June 8th and it’s my husbands 30th on 29th June. So if she comes on time, she will be exactly 3 weeks old. I’d like to take my husband to the cinema (a film he really wants to watch comes out that week) and for a meal. I’m hoping to breastfeed so I know I’ll be very tied to the baby but also hopin...
I can't decide if this is normal or not. For context, I've met him several times and he's always been nothing but helpful. Then one day he gave me his number and said I could book in with him directly next time. I also wasn't sure if he just meant to use it on that one occasion or whether he was okay with me contact...
Girlies, I have to share this because it’s so so funny to me that this actually works and hopefully it’ll help some of you out 💕So my milks just come in and my boobs have been so so sore 🍼 When I saw the midwife on Friday she said to try cabbage leaves kept in the fridge … honestly it looks crazy but I promise you…
I am not planning on killing myself. I don’t even really think l want to die. Like the thought of leaving my kids sounds unbearable and I would never do that. I just find myself thinking that phrase a lot. And yes I’m in therapy and on medication. Just curious if anyone has dealt with this?
My daughter and I fell asleep together around 9pm. Her father started a phone call a few feet away and woke us up after it took me forever to get her down. I brushed it off decided to use the time to get things done. He wasn’t doing anything but playing on his phone so I asked if he would keep an eye on her so I cou...
My baby wakes up at 4:30-5am every morning and won’t go back to sleep, I’ve tried earlier and later bedtimes but it still makes no difference… he’s 8 months and has also now begun only sleeping for 30 minutes during naps Throughout the day resulting in him having 6 naps😩I can’t get anything done during the day as…
My son fully wakes up, is wiggling and fussing around so I go get a feed ready.. come back and he is asleep again? So I go back to bed and then he jumps awake and starts all over again? It’s not active sleep because he’s proper looking around but then it’s like he passes out? 🤷🏼♀️
Cannot get my boy to settle and stay in his bed tonight 🫠 I think he’s really overtired at this point and keeps demanding fed but falling asleep on the boob. I’ve waited various lengths of time to put him down, burped him and made sure his nappy is clean and he is still not staying asleep despite feeding almost non…
My baby is 5 weeks old and was typically going to sleep at around 10/11pm which wasn’t too bad. I would also be able to feed and then put her down and she’d have maybe one false start but then sleep. The last 5 nights or so she’s not gone to sleep until 2am and now 3am, it’s really starting to affect me now. She’ll ...
Both babies wake multiple times through the night. Both babies are unwell at the moment. Littlest baby is only 6 weeks old.
My son rolled off the bed today. I am devastated. Our bed is probably just over half a metre high. The bedside drawer was open, but I don’t believe he hit it on the way down otherwise he would be much worse off. But I do think he went to lift his head up and donked it in the bedside drawer. So he has a red line on h...
I am needing a device I can access through my phone to periodically “listen in” at home… since I can’t figure out how to see how many hours a day my SO is actually on video games. 🙄 Yes… I am taking it to the next level because this is my final straw!
Hi moms My 10 months old got gastro. He used to be a very healthy boy and he liked to eat specially solid. But now, he lost his appetite not even keen to have milk. Anyone has any experience? Hints?
I'm just wondering if anyone else's little one's do this, my son started doing it more recently, he's two.
My little boy is nine weeks today! He’s started to sleep through the night (anywhere between 7-8.5 hours), is this normal for his age? I’ve tried to implement a routine since day one so he knows the difference between day time and night time sleep! Anyone else’s nine week old doing the same? X
