Hi, Is this amount of air bubbles normal for formula? Thank you!!

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...

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...

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! 😅

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 ...

My 11m boy always hits the fish tank really hard. I've tried say no and shaking my head but that makes him really happy and shake his head back. 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...

What time are you all putting baby to bed for long night time stretch?

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...

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...

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 ...

He's only 4 weeks old but we've been out and about a fair bit and found he's an absolute angel in his pram and the car seat, today we got the train home from an outing and he laid on my lap asleep/half asleep the entire time. Not cried all day. As soon as we get home he's SO grumpy when not on the breast, in the bat...

After a bit of advice.. There seems to be something wrong with him but how do I know what it is.. at first I thought he was gassy, then I questioned my breastfeeding, then could it be reflux, then a dairy allergy, or even tongue tie… I honestly don’t know, this is my second baby so you think you’d be able to figure ...

Hi all! First time mum who feels like an idiot for the past 8 days just looking for some maybe stupid advice! I have been breastfeeding since birth but have decided to use formula at the moment for various reasons! I think I may have given it to fast (currently has 60mls) and he has been sick loads. Seems settled no...

My son is nearly 6 months, at 3.5 months he just started waking once for a bottle (formula) as opposed to twice a night, we went on a trip and the routine was broken and he went back to waking up twice, sometimes more. When he would wake up twice he would drink a full bottle each time and go back to sleep. I am tryi...

My LO is a little over a month old he's my first, and we've officially entered the "witching hour" phase. We have mostly just been feeding and cuddling as much as possible. Babywearing sometimes helps, but sometimes he's just too frantic. Would love to hear any advice or techniques that worked for your LOs! 🙏

Does anyone have an owlet and if so do you recommend? I’m struggling to sleep myself when she’s sleeping as I keep checking she’s ok as TikTok seems to be serving me a lot of SIDS videos so I’ve had to stop using it. Know it’s naturally a mum thing to be anxious so any tips would be greatly appreciated 💖

Just dawned on me I haven’t bought anywhere for baby to sleep in the daytime, I only have a crib which is adjacent to my bed or a baby swing if he’s awake in the day. Is it necessary to have a daytime sleep crib or Moses basket/bassinet for daytime sleeps when I’m downstairs and chilling housekeeping in other rooms ...

Baby is nearly 6 weeks and is EBF. Does anyone else get a pain in their breasts (usually between feeds) - it’s like someone is squeezing them really tight, only lasts about 10 seconds. Feeding or pump every 3-4 hours.

Has anyone ever ordered off thenurserystore.com ? Is it genuine?

Hi ladies, any advice on how to deal with leaky boobs on a night. I breastfeed during the day and my partner usually gets up to bottle feed on a night as i dont seem to wake up first 🙈😅 but when i do wake up my top is quite wet 🙈 Ive tried vests/crop tops/bras all with breastpads in and i just seem to leak,…
