Does anyone also feel worried about newborn vaccines and has decided not to give them?

Anyone else’s baby not like to sleep? LOL. My baby girl is about to be 5 months and I swear ever since she was 2 months old, she won’t nap for more than 30min, 3 times a day. She also will only sleep 9ish hours total at night. Maybe one day she’ll nap for longer 🫠

Hi mamas, I need some insight on introducing formula on some feeds to my son. He is breast/bottle-fed but as he is growing, I can tell he requires more and I’m afraid I’m not producing enough for him. He gets fussy and I get very stressed out :( Has anyone introduced formula to their breast/bottle-fed babies? What’s...

My tiny girl was born on Feb 25th, she will be 3 weeks on Tuesday 🥰 Since she has been home, she’s been resistant to the bedside bassinet and crib. For our sanity, my husband and I have switched off doing contact sleeping in a recliner with her to get sleep however we do not want to do this forever, it’s not comfy…

I exclusively pumped for 16 months with my first baby due to her not wanting to latch. Due second baby and will attempt breastfeeding from the breast but if she also doesn’t want to then will pump. I had the medela and mam 2 in 1 pump which were both amazing but I massively regret not buying a wearable breast pump a...

My baby has been exclusively napping either in the stroller or during contact naps. Does anyone have any tips for transitioning their baby to nap in the crib at 9months +? I feel like we are so late to this. Thank you!

I see my toddler say his tummy is hurting almost every day and he presses his mid to upper belly area, and he soon does a poo and doesn’t mention it again. In the last 3 weeks his pops have been looser and more frequent. Nothing has changed with diet or otherwise but this is also when he started saying his tummy is ...

Any advice ladies! My supply is utter crap! All I do is breastfeed and my baby (12w) is so hungry so I’m topping up with formula. I’ve been pumping now for a few weeks to try quantify mls (instructed to keep a feed diary due to low weight) and no matter what I do, it’s only ever 50ml! I’m drink 2/3l a day, takin...

Am I the only one putting my baby to sleep on their tummy? My little girl is 14 weeks and 5 days old, and she’s been napping on her tummy since she was 11 weeks because it helps her sleep longer during the day and then she rolls to her back when she’s waking up. At night, though, she sleeps on her back. I’m curious...

Those of you mamas who feed baby to sleep, what does your bedtime routine look like if your baby sleeps for the night way earlier than you do? Do you feed on your bed and slip away once baby is asleep? Or do you transfer them to your bed after they feed and fall asleep on your lap? How do you make this transfer suc...

Does anybody keep their baby upright after a night feed? My LB is EBF and ever since he has been a newborn we have kept him upright for 15 minutes after a feed. As he has gotten older ( now 4 months) this wakes him up as I don’t think he’s very comfortable being sat upright on my chest anymore. I have always done t...

Hey. Could I please have some help as I am sooooo confused. My LG is just over a week old and we have pretty much mastered her latch for breastfeeding after a tough week of pain! I have always said I was interested in combi feeding just for ease and enabling my partner I help. I do enjoy breastfeeding and it is ...

Did anyone start properly co sleeping later on like say after 6 months old? Interested to see why people started and how it’s going/how old babies are now. If they are still co sleeping etc We’ve recently ended up permanently co sleeping baby is 10 months old. Wondering how long this may go on for etc I love havi...

I feel like this is a really dumb question but I don't have anyone irl I can ask and I'm too embarrassed as this point to ask the midwife 🙈 How do you dry your babies bum after a nappy change? I've been just using a wet wipe then putting the nappy straight on, but I feel like this is wrong? Do I need to be drying…

Hi everyone, my son is 2 weeks old and is suffering with constipation. It’s really making him unsettled. We can see he’s trying to poop but no luck. Anyone have any advice on what we can do to help him? We’ve tried tummy massages and the bicycle method but no luck 🥺🥺🥺

Hi, I’m still getting pain during sex and I’m now 9 months pp. My partner and I haven’t had loads of sex since I gave birth for a few reasons so idk if my body just has to get used to it again. However, it’s still painful especially when he goes in quite deep. Is this normal or should I be going to see a doctor? M...

Hey, looking for advice please, my little one is 10 weeks tomorrow, for the last few weeks she’s only been having a poo once every other day occasionally one a day , now all of a sudden she is having 4-5 a day… is this normal? Could it be down to her 8 week jabs 2 weeks ago? Thanks very much

Feeling so defeated with increasing my milk supply, pumping and getting bubba to latch before every feed but have to give formula from start as baby had very low weight, was born on 6th percentile and was separated a few hours after birth due to being transferred to the baby unit. I’m trying different pumps but I fe...

FTM and need advice! We have a bunch of diapers too small for our daughter now! What do you do with them? I’ve donated some to local mom groups but these are big boxes we haven’t opened and honestly can’t afford to just donate them right now. 1. Can we keep them for our next baby? Planning for 2 ish years from n...
