Bugaboo donkey 5

Anyone have one of these? Really contemplating getting one as my little girl will be 2y1m when our next baby arrives… Thinking it’s use will only be for 6-12 months, but are they worth the money? (Looking at a 2nd hand one!)

Help! I need to replace my Cybex Cloud T i-size car seat. I currently have the matching rotating 360 isofix base.

My baby has just turned 11 months, weighs around 9.6kilos and is around 71cm - on the 72 percentile. Her legs are bending as there isn’t much room.

Stair gates

Can I see what stair gates you guys are using? The skirting around our staircase is quite thick wood, but the bannister is low. I'm struggling to get my head around how to fit the gate I bought and I'm worried it isn't going to fit without me having to drill into the bannister? I'm sitting here spending my Friday ...

Car seat confusion

My daughter has always been fine in the car but the past few weeks gets so, so upset when she’s in it. Obviously a car seat isn’t cheap.. so I’d rather be certain it’s the seat she’s maybe outgrown rather than developmental (she’s recently on the move) or anything else.. When do you know when you need to change y...

Tongue tie

Hey everyone, I just wanted to jump on here and share my experience as an adult who has a tongue tie. Maybe it’ll help give some perspective to your child’s future if you are deciding whether or not to get a tongue tie release.

Baby Chokes during Bottle-feeding

My 1 week old tends to choke on a bottle if the nipple is filled with too much milk (the nipple is a level 1). My husband is moves super slow to pat her back and it drives me crazy. He just looks at her and slowly puts her on his chest. Sometime I want to yell at him to move faster or just don’t allow him to feed h...

Transition from breast to bottle

Little one is almost 10 months. He is strictly breast-fed. Bottles were introduced in the beginning, but stopped due to complications that we thought the bottles were causing. They were not introduced again, though after the complications were resolved. He will not take a pacifier or a bottle. He just chews on them....

co sleeping

I don’t need or want to hear any opinions on co sleeping if you’re for or against it. I am strictly wondering how old should you wait for your baby to be until you start it?
