First flight with baby.... Haven't booked a seat but requested basinette. How does the seating work? Do they normally place you and baby squashed up beside someone or do they try and give you leg room

Hello, how long did it take after surgery to be able to sleep comfortably on your side?

Just found out that the purple lidded sterifeed bottles that we used with the hospital pump are actually single use only!! I have just ordered the white lidded ones which are reusable. Did anyone else not realise this? We have been using them for the last 5 weeks and sterilising after every use, not had any issues....

So my baby girl is 15 weeks now, her sleeping pattern isn’t too bad exactly however she does go to sleep usually between 10:30-11:30pm, the past 2 weeks she’s been waking up during the night for a feed and going back to sleep but she did used to sleep for at least 6 hours straight before that. I feel as though her b...

How many naps is your 1 1/2 year old taking? How long are they? My mom says my babygirl sleeps too much🤣 Mine takes 2 naps anywhere from 40min-2 hours. On a good day if not just one nap!

My LO has been a terrible sleeper at night for months. Averaging about 5-10 wake ups rocking back to sleep per night. I’m genuinely so sleep deprived. Recently it was getting slightly better but the last couple nights have got worse again. Tonight he threw up all over himself because he was crying so much so his sic...

What’s everyone’s 6mo nap routine. I think my daughter is having less daytime sleep so therefore affecting her night time sleep

My baby is 5 months now and we were wondering how to set a bedtime for her. She usually naps through the day and evening, so wakes up after 15m to 45min right upto around 10.30pm then she only goes for a proper sleep at midnight after she is fed. She then sleeps in until 10.30am (waking up for feeds but sleeping ver...

How do I get my 18 month old okay with having the clip in bows in her hair. They look so cute and I want to be able to do things with her hair but she keeps taking them out. Do they eventually become okay with it and stop taking things out of their hair or what’s the process? I just tried today so far and randomly o...

As much as I love every moment hugging,snuggling and cuddling my little one. I just can’t catch a break! ( I feel awful saying this) I can’t go to the toilet,eat,drink or even make a snack or a cup of tea. My baby refuses to sleep in the Moses basket,in the bed side crib,on the sofa or any other place. All my baby w...

How is it going? I find that some days she doesn’t want to nurse a lot but other days it’s getting to be too much for me. It’s definitely a comfort thing and I wish I could just hug her and hold her but she always wants to nurse for comfort. I also feel like it is affecting my teeth and may be leaving the nutrient...

What is the longest stretch of sleep your baby does right now?

He’s been given it but refusing to feed at all. I did try to slowly donit by mixing with his normal formula but any more than half a dose he refuses to drink… even trying half it’s hard and I have to try add something to make the taste better. I’ve tried adding infacol. Dentinox and vanilla extract? Not had any chan...

Dear mamas, I’m so so upset and just need some support. My friend came over to drop off some presents for my baby today, she ordered some food and jokingly said she was going to give my baby a potato chip from her take away. I said no because everyone knows I’m a healthy/organic mum who doesn’t feed her kids that ...

How do you deal with it? Do you simply cut ties? Boundaries? I am so close to losing my shit with my mother and her attempts of emotional abuse. It isn’t a new thing, she raised us kids as a single mother, with help from her family, not that she’ll recognise or admit it. But in hindsight, she has always been narciss...

Is anyone’s baby taking an hour to finish a 3-4 oz bottle or breast feed?

On a weekday, she gets woken at 6.45am to get ready to go to nursery. She goes to bed at 7pm. She has 45mins-1 hour nap at about 11am. We can’t really change the morning time as I have to drop of to nursery and get to work for 8am so we need to leave the house by 7.20am. I usually get home between 6pm and 6.30pm in ...

I have just moved my baby into his own room in his cot as he has outgrown the next to me. He has started sleep on his side, would you move him back to his back or leave him? He can roll back to front and front to back.
