How did you get your baby to sleep 4 hours at a time or when did your baby start sleeping 4 hours straight?

I bought some books for my LO when she was 1, just because I thought they’d be cute—haha. I didn’t grow up in a reading household (not even bedtime stories!), but now at 2, she’s obsessed with books. She’d rather read than play with toys! I haven’t done anything special to encourage it, so now I’m wondering— Is thi...

I’m ebf and my LO will be 8 weeks on the 22nd. She has had a bm atleast once a day since being born but now has gone 24 hours on two separate occasions this week without one. She’s still passing gas and is acting normal. I just don’t know if this is normal for this age when ebf??

I’ve started pumping more and breastfeeding less due to going back to the office. I’ve noticed I get bumps in my boobs more often even though I’m pumping every three hours. Any advice? I don’t have an oversupply.

My baby will be 7 weeks old on Monday and the past week has been awake from 4pm till he finally goes down at around 10pm. We start the bedtime routine from 8pm. I feel the 4 till 10 wake window is way too long and he gets overtired but he just won’t nap from then. Milk drunk is non existent these days 😣. Any tips…

He’s a size 6, weights 15.6kgs. Leaks through every night! Any advise?

When did you all get your period after birth?

I know some young newborns have trouble pooing but it thought it was meant to ease after a few weeks. when did your little ones find it easier and stop thrashing their legs around and straining all day/night? Thank you - a sleep deprived mum

Does anyone have recommendations for a belly oil? I used Hatch last time but don't want to spend that much.... so open to other clean non toxic nice ones 💗

My baby is 7 weeks old and EBF. She's gaining weight well and has plenty of wet /dirty nappies. During the day, she's happy to feed every 3ish hours and seems satisfied after her feed. However, from about 9pm onwards, when we put her down to sleep, she's just not bothered! She never wakes me up for a feed and I try ...

My husband and I will be staying in an Air B&B this summer for 8 weeks (He has to go somewhere for work) There is no bathtub. What are we doing for bathing babies with no tub? Just buy a bin for the shower? Ideas please! Edit: She will be 12months when we go.

Some please say they have cracked a solution for side sleeping baby who’s nappy leaks bloody constantly!! The last two weeks my 6 month old ha decided he’s a big big fan of side sleeping. However….every single nappy at night he leaks through, I’ve tried sizing up, sizing down, pull ups, normal nappies, two pull ups ...

He does 1 4 hour stretch from 7-11ish after a bath at night. Then the rest of the night and day he’s like clockwork every 2 hours feeding and he’s nearly 3 months

I literally cannot do it anymore, physically and mentally I am not doing okay! Why after nearly a year of such sleep deprivation is she still doing this?!

5 weeks baby , used to cluster feed or atleast wake every 2 hrs to feed. now she is not waking even after 5 hrs in night, should i wake her up every 2-3 hrs in night. daytime is still similar feeding every 1-2 hrs or sometime 2-3 hrs.

I don’t know what to do as I have a vegina delivery and got a second degree tear I’m 7 weeks pp and my partner was to keep on have sex but I’m still sore we have done it a couple of times but it just hurts and then when I say it hurts I have say it about 10 times before he stops but then he sounds pissed off with me...

Hiiii! I’m 34 weeks due in just about a month. I need to order my stroller and car seat like… now. I’ve had my eyes on a few, but this one in particular: - Maxi-cosi zelia 2 luxe 5 in 1 modular travel system What’s your personal experience with this stroller and are there other ones that are better in your opini...

Anyone's 6month old still sleeping terribly? My LO use to sleep in 3 hour chunks, but has suddenly gone back to waking every 1.5 hours. When we go to bed she will go down and do a good chunk of sleep. Then after that she wakes every hour or 1.5 hours. I don't know what to do. She's ebf and struggles to settle herse...

I'm getting desperate ... My baby boy is 16 months old and for the past few nights has been waking up during the night and not being able to get him to fall back asleep for 2 straight hours, after which he's apparently exhausted and falls to sleep. We do co-sleeping since he was 3 months old and I do breastfeed him...
