Bathing newborn

So my babies umbilical cord has been off for a week or so now, but I am kinda terrified to bathe her.. the more I leave it the worse I feel, since I wouldn’t like to be left unbathed for that long, but it’s just such a nerve racking thing to do! I have heard newborns don’t need baths that often, but how long has peo...

Breastfeeding struggles

Hey everyone, I just had my baby boy on the 12th December and he’s perfect. The only dampener on his arrival has been breastfeeding - we had 1 good feed when he first arrived and ever since then it has been agony. I’ve had help from midwives, a lactation consultant, I’ve been showing my latch to anyone who will look...

Hair touching fetish

My 3.5 year old son has this habit of having to touch my hair if it’s down or in a ponytail, i know it’s his soothing method as he will twiddle his fingers in his own hair while sucking his fingers when he’s tired and he’s done this since he was 4-5months old. But man it gets annoying.. anyone have any ideas how to ...

EBF in Public

Us mamas are pressured to breastfeed yet in public it’s frowned upon. I had an only guy physically move away from me when I started feeding my baby 🤯 My first baby was formula fed and I never suffered anything like this. The frowns, the dodgy looks it’s relentless! 😅

I've tried sitting him down with hands on knees but he gets back up to continue. I've carried him away 100 times over he's straight back. I've tried avoiding eye contact to...

Sleep training sucks

I don’t know what to do… we’ve hit the 4 month sleep regression, and some kind of sleep training needs to happen because my LO has been a nightmare sleeper since birth. Currently fed to sleep and I hold my breath as I transfer her. Recently she’s been feeding to sleep, then waking up and crying. I’ve tried this even...

Sadness

I wish I had someone I know and trust to tell them how I really feel and not just a therapist who is paid to listen and give advice. I wish I would have listened to what my partner wanted in the beginning of our relationship so I wouldn’t be in the relationship mess I’m in right now. I wish my relationship was as ea...

Baby bath tub recommendations for large baby?

Our baby is very large for her age. She'll be 5 months next week and so far we had a nuby tub but she's getting too long to properly fit in it. She used to love bath time, but now she starts crying every time and her legs keep slipping out. She can't sit by herself yet, so we still need a bathtub with a seat. I was ...
