Screaming and crying

My 18 week old little girl spends most of the day fighting naps, absolutely screaming her head off. When she does sleep, she’s only sleeping for like 20 mins at a time and then we’re back to square 1 of crying and screaming because she’s still tired. She’s also getting really awkward with having her bottles too and ...

Desperate plea for advice - baby is completely off milk

Please no judgement comments etc, I’ve gone through our GP, health visitor and my last resort will be 111 / hospital. My baby is completely well in himself from what I can tell and GP exams, but he is completely off his feeds. I am struggling to achieve 24-32 ounces, we’re lucky to hit 21. The only advice I get i...

Sample routine

I’ve just transferred from breast to bottle, I have no idea what I’m doing how many hours to wait in between feeds, no idea when to offer food no idea about wake windows? Feel like I’m drowning a bit and feeling very overwhelmed. Any sample routines or usual day for your 6 month old?

Advice? Relate? Relationship question…

Not sure how to word it…but this is a thing and it’s really bothering me right now in my marriage and I don’t think it’s unique to my husband! Have had a partner who you’ve grown very comfortable with, been together for years, been through all the life things and they get to a point sometimes where the typical soc...

Not pooing

Baby boy only poos once or twice a week usually however we are now on day 6 no poo … I wouldn’t say he’s really uncomfortable but he does sometimes make a noise when he’s pumping. He has been passing wind, just no poo and I’ve tried bicycle movements with his legs and tummy strokes … what do I do?

Supportive sport bras while pregnant

Could anyone recommend a good supportive bra for working out? I’m 23 weeks pregnant now and my normal bras are small and annoying because the band under digs into baby belly

Terrible sleep

My son has never been a good sleeper, up crying for comfort anywhere from once per night to hourly 😭 he doesn’t like co-sleeping, he doesn’t want milk only comfort. How the heck can I get him to sleep better? What’s everyone’s opinions on white noise machines? Can I leave it on all night for him? I’m soooo tired…

I just need to vent or clarity

So I hired a night nurse to help me run through this regression and to sleep training my almost 5 month old baby. She was waking up every one to two hours expecting food before hiring this lady. She’s completely changed all day and night expectations for my child. My babies only used to drinking 4 ounces of formula ...

Pumping

Just out of curiosity is it bad to start pumping before 36/37 weeks (I’m currently 33 weeks)? Someone told me it’s dangerous and wouldn’t advise it and I also searched it which it said it could lead to preterm labour. I was using a pump to help with the pressure and soreness of my boobs/nipples which helped howeve...
