I go to my boyfriend’s house yesterday after he fell asleep on me the night before. We literally had sex for like 3 hours and it was great. I was exhausted after and so I went to bed. I wake up after idk how long, maybe an hour, and he’s eating a full meal. I ask if he got me anything and he said no you were asleep....

Hey, Does anyone read a book whilst breastfeeding? If so, what’s the best position for this? Thanks in advance 🤩

I can’t for the life of me sleep when my little one is sleeping I sit up all night next to her cot watching her she is 4 months old I’ve done this since the day she was born im some what lucky my mother is around to look after her while I get a few hours sleep during the day I just feel like I’m missing out on so mu...

So our newborn is an absolute pooping machine, apparently completely normal but we are going through nappies like no tomorrow. I know you’re supposed to change pooey nappies right away but we’re finding she will sometimes poo again right after (funnily enough she just did exactly that as I typed!). Whats the maximum...

Anyone struggling tonight to get their baby asleep .. cluster feeding and crying

I gave it up within 1-2 weeks .

Edit he means by “missing out” on is that he’s worried things will change a lot for me. I haven’t had the best experience when it comes to sex. I’m still understanding my own body and what I like and don’t like. It’s one thing that stresses me out so he’s worried it’s might get even harder for me. He’s very understa...

I’ve seen a lot of different thoughts on what is classed as sleeping through the night and I’m not sure what others opinion on this is? What do you class as when people say babies are sleeping through the night without a feed at this age?

I’ve been looking at some rocking chairs for my baby’s nursery with the intention of using this for feeding or comforting during the night but they are all pretty expensive and I’m wondering do I actually need one, will I use it or is it just a nice piece of decor that will stay in the corner of the room. Should sav...

Hi, My baby currently sleeps swaddled in a tomee tipee sleeping bag with her arms in (9 weeks old) Tonight I have put her arms out the poppers in preparation for her next size up sleeping bag which can not be swaddled. She has been throwing her arms around waking herself up, she did settle for a bit much has been v...

Baby is EBF and now 8mo we were following wake windows for the longest time and found that evening sleep has been terrible since 4 month sleep progression (regression). We would have multiple evening wakes- I’m talking 8-10. Baby not hungry, not too hot or cold, sometimes would stay awake for a while other times wo...

When did people start using sudocream when changing a nappy? I have had mixed opinions from home visits and health visitor. My baby is a bit sore but only a few weeks old

How did you know your little one had reflux? What did you do and did it help? I think mine is suffering with reflux. He just vomited multiple times after feed and has been vomiting after most feeds for the past week or so.

Just wondering if anyone else can relate. My son is 2.5 years old he only says a few words . He had his health check and they said communication emerging in the red book. I feel sad today because I took him to a stay and play, there are younger children that seem miles ahead. Playing together, I feel like I’ve fail...

Morning! I am trying to get organised and need to decide on formula - what brand formula do you recommend? I want to stick to the most organic and healthiest option (if that even is a thing) thank you!

We use MAM bottles and have reflux so my 9 week old has been using size 0 teats up until now. The last couple of days he has been falling asleep during feeds and not finishing the bottles so thought maybe time to change to size 1. Tried it tonight and he coughed and spluttered and half of it ended up splashing on ...

Hi all! For the past 2 weeks my baby has suddenly started waking up at 5am regardless of her bedtime. We have kept it consistent, with 2 naps of 1.5 hours each during the day. We have tried extending wake windows, shortening wake windows, changing her bedtime...nothing works. Today she was up at 4:30am! She has a se...

I’m looking at getting a nursing chair for the baby room to ensure I have a nice comfy set up for feeding. I’m finding most of the options either pretty ugly or extortionately overpriced. I’ve found a chair that swivels, so could assist in moving baby a little to settle them, but it’s doesn’t rock back and forth. ...

Hi ladies, I am looking for a good electric hands free breast pump. Any good recommendations you’re currently using or you’ve bought? I’ve looked at getting the Medela Freestyle hands free breast pump- is it all the hype as it is very expensive?
