Right, so I’ve been wondering about the guidance on this. It all says to get your baby to sleep from 7pm to 7am, this seems to be the ideal, but I can’t find anything online as to why exactly this is. Is it a scientific thing, or just to prepare them for nursery/school/parents going back to work, etc? I’m not a mor...

Hey mamas, my daughter is currently 3 months old and is wearing number 2’s in nappy sizes. It’s between Aldi ones & pampers that she wears, I put her on the Aldi during the night as she now sleeps longer but she keeps leaking through every morning. The pamper nappies are more bigger so I thought they wouldn’t be ide...

Our baby is due early April, I’m wondering what tog people would suggest getting? I don’t really want to buy more than two for the newborn stage as he’s going to need to upsize very quickly. Any advice welcome!

My baby girl is 6 days old and we have been struggling with breast feeding. Lately she has been all over the place trying to latch which is frustrating for both of us. When she does latch it’s painful for me. Ive already seen a BF consultant and things went really well but when I got home they have been horrible aga...

Morning ladies, hope everyone’s doing well? Might be a silly FTM question Lol and I know every baby is different, Does anybody else have an October baby (little man is 4months) who’s around 13/14lb? What size are nappy are the In at the moment? And what signs am I looking for that it’s time to go up a size? My li...

I wake my little one everyday between 6/630 despite the night we have had. I do this so nap times and bedtime remains the same everyday. My little girl sometimes is snoring and I feel so so bad but my anxiety around naps won’t let me just let her sleep for however long she wants as then her naps and bedtime would be...

Husband and I are sleeping in separate rooms to give each other a break to sleep through every other night whilst we take turns having the baby. It was his turn last night. I was having a nightmare that my baby died and I woke up in tears and rushed to his room. He was asleep holding a bottle of milk and the baby h...

My little one had issues latching from the start due to a severe tongue tie, and my nipples were so incredibly sore and cracked so I started pumping and also giving him formula (mainly formula). I had his tongue tie cut last Wednesday and he still doesn’t want to latch and gets so frustrated so we’re on mainly formu...

Hey mommas, what brand nappies are these, I can’t remember for the life of me.

Hi all. Pretty sure my 5 week old son has cradle cap across his eyebrows. One tiny scab is a little weepy but looks as if he’s scratched that off so will keep an eye on it. Any help on how to clear it (UK product recs please)? Thank you 😊

Anyone else struggling to put their LO down for bed at night? My LO takes HOURS to finally go to sleep. I do a bath at 7pm, feed her, etc for a bedtime routine. She falls asleep for 10 min in her crib, wakes up, and I try rocking/shushing/feeding/etc to put her back down. It’s a vicious cycle that lasts for hours....

Has anyone started leaking colostrum yet? I’m 29 weeks on Wednesday and woke up and my boobs felt wet but then there’s been nothing else, wondering if it’s my imagination or my colostrum’s starting to come in?!

I’ve never really thought about baby staying out overnight (with family). Someone mentioned it yesterday and implied my boy should be staying out occasionally as it’s ’good for him’ 🙄 He’s not the best sleeper so I personally wouldn’t have him stay out unless on an emergency basis. But when he’s older, sure,…

My 12 week old sleeps in his bassinet at night with no issues, but during the day we can't get him to nap in there. He falls asleep on me, we put him in the bassinet and maximum 10 minutes later he wakes up. Any advice to help him nap in the bassinet?

Hi there. I wondered what TENS machines everyone used and honest feedback? My friend had the boots one for her first baby and thought it was useless. I’m looking at the Elle tens 2- any feed back? Also I read that list go up to 40-60V but some 100v- has anyone happened to use a 100V one? Thank you in advance :)

I never wanted to co sleep but since my son turned 5 months the sleep has been IMPOSSIBLE (some say teething but he’s now nearly 9 months and we still had multiple wakes a night) If we co sleep, he sleeps like a LOG. Anyone else in the same boat? And anyone else got stories where they co slept and then were abl...

What are everyone’s opinions on reins, I’m in 2 minds for my 1 year old, she’s okay still to be in the pram and doesn’t kick off but, she does also like to walk and explore but loves to run off and act like she’s Usain Bolt, anyone have good or negative experiences with using them?

Does this need plugging in constantly to work or does it just need recharging when the battery gets low?

When do you put your baby to bed and leave them alone without being in the room with them? My daughter is 12 weeks and I can’t put her down to sleep at 9 without going to bed with her as I feel terrified of SIDS! So I end up going up with her and missing my evenings with my husband as I don’t want to learn her alone...

Alice is my 1st so I'm lacking experience and don't know whether I should be concerned about her behavior or if it's considered a "normal" stage for her age but I keep worrying about it. Firstly she absolutely cannot share, she's been in a nursery setting who promote sharing since 9m old but with kids her own age if...
