Does anyone know of any support with this - my health visitor has been useless and...

What does your baby weigh at 10 weeks? My baby girl is 10 weeks and she seems so big for her age and she seems quite heavy🤣 she's not been weighed since her last health visitor appointment which was about 4 weeks ago and she was 11lbs exact. She's definitely put weigh on since that last appointment I'm just worried…

Hello, so I have an 11 month old that is very poorly at the moment and all he wants to do is feed. I understand it’s for comfort and suckle, however I’m getting very overwhelmed and very out touched. He won’t take a bottle. He won’t take a dummy. He screams if I take him off of the boob so I’m just wondering if anyo...

I'd always planned to stop breastfeeding at around 12 months but now I'm not sure how to go about it. My little one will start nursery when she's about 14 months, and I'd also seen on here you're not necessarily supposed to wean at night till 18 months? Would I be able to have weaned her at 1 year but still feed f...

So my second daughter is expected to be following with my first with a cows milk allergy. However, we have been to GP and hospital as she hasn't been putting on weight.
