Hey! I have been exclusively breastfeeding feeding my 6 week old but I’m debating starting to express so that my partner can start to help throughout the nights - Because wow I’m finding the sleep deprivation hard. When is best to express? & how do I know if what I’ve expressed will be enough to satisfy him?

Does anyone have any tips on how to get my 17 (almost 18) month old to sleep in his own bed? We’ve co slept since he was 3 months old, contact napped until he was 8-10 months old, and he’s napped in our bed ever since. I tried with the crib I really did and he just never took to it. I tried again a few weeks ago to ...

Does anyone know what causes green poop in babies? I'm getting worried. Our girl is 9 weeks old and exclusively breastfed. But in the last week keeps having green poop. She did have her vaccines last Tuesday so don't know if it's related to that? (Picture in comments)

I have a healthy and wild 6 month old boy who is full of life and alot of emotions. I have emotionally been struggling as a new mom and have had a hard time finding people to talk to about it and finding support. My only true support is my husband. Part of my problem is I put on a facade that everything is fine and ...

I just needed to rant. My little boy loves to whine and winge at least half the day if not more. He’s SO inpatient and also really bad at playing by himself which makes him complain and moan even more if I’m trying to literally do anything and he wants me to play with him! He’s driving me insaneeeeeeee 😭😭😭 Anyone…

I have my newborn in this sling gifted from a friend. Is he too low? He ends up curled so his head does rest down on his chest which I don't think is correct? Any advice welcome.

My daughter just turned 2 and today decided she doesn't want her afternoon nap. Is anyone already dropped all the naps?

Anyone else’s 18 month old not talking yet? He uses sign language and responds to everything we say/ask of him accurately, he gestures often but struggles to isolate his pointer finger when pointing. He tries very hard, like he knows what he’s suppose to do, it kind of looks like he’s snapping his fingers when he is...

Hi all! Just wondering, when will our little ones next see the health visitor (if they do). Our last visit was a bit daunting and the women werent particularly helpful or friendly with any questions we had. Do they get another soon? Starting to mentally prepare myself

Hi! My son is 3 weeks and half and he’s been fully breastfed for the past 2 weeks and a bit however we have slowly introduced a bottle a day as I feel like my boobs sometimes run out. Like they become so soft and just feels empty even though milk comes out, he can’t latch when they’re ’saggy’. My question is, someti...

Hi ladies, My little boy has had a horrific cold/flu for about 4 days. His first night was very broken sleep with multiple wakes & crying and since his overnights have mostly been back to normal (very fortunate he sleeps through) however overnight last night he did nearly 16 hours and that’s only because I woke him...

My child is 4 months and won’t nap in her crib, bassinet, or pack & play. I’m stumped because at bedtime she sleeps in her crib but daytime will only sleep on her boppi. I drape a thick blanket over it and she sleeps (I’m always in the same room/ area) but I know this isn’t ideal. Last week I worked on cutting down...

My little girl decided to do a monster nap today at 11:30 til 2. What time would you do bedtime? She’s only ever done a one nap day once before and it wasn’t great 😂 but I feel like she’s already had her day time sleep needs?
