*Child - safety question*** What child safety restrictions have people got on their windows? I know they are sometimes in-built but don't look like they are. Have seen some on Amazon but not sure if they'd fit - the ones where your windows just open a bit not all the way .

that it is biologically normal and completely natural for babies to sleep on us and next to us. Putting them down in cots and cribs etc. (even if it is safe) goes against natural instincts. So if your baby is resisting, rest assured there's nothing wrong. Enjoy the contact naps and cosleeping while it lasts!

Just curious as to what others do at night with bedroom doors. Do you leave both yours and children's doors open? Do you close all doors? Do you have one open and one closed? Little chap is still in with us at the minute (house reno mixed with him still waking a million times a night) but he'll be trying his own r...

I feel like my baby sleeps less than the recommended amount. We do 3 hours of naps and roughly 10 hours overnight. She does seem happy and content but I do wake her up some mornings too otherwise it throws everything else in the day out. Her wake windows seem accurate so if I let her sleep later, her bedtime would a...

How much are your little ones drinking each feed? My little one is 3 weeks old and won’t drink anymore than 2oz each feed, should I be worried? She feeds every 2 hours during the day and longer stretches throughout the night!

Has anyone not had their 2 year review? We've not had a letter or anything. Just wondering if that's normal?

Hello everyone Second time mum here with a hack for you all if you didn’t already know 🤪 make sure you and your family all download Emma diary’s app and collect your free packs. I never had to buy size 1 nappies last time, I had enough wipes for months and the vouchers I collected saved me so much money on…

I'm dyyyyying. We were FINALLY sleeping longer stretches again. That lasted like 2 days. Now she just rolls onto her tummy all night long and gets stuck. I have to keep flipping her over only for her to do it again. I have no problem letting her sleep on her tummy except she's crying and complaining. We do tummy tim...

Has anyone swapped their child from a swaddle to a sleep sack? My 9 week old only does long stretches of sleep if he is swaddled but I want to try and slowly transition him over rather than go cold turkey but he wakes himself up by hitting himself in the face with his flailing arms 😂 If you have successfully done…

Recommendations for baby carriers that can be used before 3 months. I was looking at the momcozy but it’s from 3 months. I had an ergo baby with my first but I’m now not able to use that one. I liked the style of it so looked at getting one but they’re pretty expensive new (was gifted to me before).

Anyone's else's 5 month old in a sleep regression with me?

I am 3.5 weeks post partum and area around scar is still sensitive however how do I know if the scar is infected? The scar itself is more red than it has been previously but I don't have any other symptoms. Is this just the colour of its healing process?

I know this has been posted so many times but I can’t seem to find anything when I scroll! My little girl is ready to transition to one nap I think as is constantly fighting her afternoon nap or not having it! It was nap about 10 then about 3 for one hour at a time but now thinking of letting her have just one 2 hou...

My baby keeps slapping me and others in the face. I’ve tried to google if this is normal but it just tells me about toddler tantrums. She’s 11 months old, is anyone else’s baby doing this?

How long do you let your little ones play independently for?

Hi everyone, I am mom currently in grad school and I am in a health informatics class. I have to conduct a survey (it will be anonymous) regarding health information searching behaviors. My focus is going to be on breastfeeding challenges. I am still in the process of making the survey questions, but I wanted to ask...

My little one is 11 weeks (EBF) and from around week 4 or 5 he started having very green poos. I asked at the practice and got told that it was normal and it might be my oversupply of milk as he was probably not getting the fatty one. He has always been so gassy and with some reflux. This week we saw a tiny speck of...

Baby is bottle fed from birth. Now doesn’t want to feed even after 6 hours. Any trick to feed the baby?

Hi guys! So my LG is nearly 5 months and we use a bouncer to keep her safe around the house while I do chores, cook, shower, etc. as it's lightweight to carry around and she can watch me. It's age and weight limit is 6 months so we won't be using it much longer. Can I please ask if there is a safe alternative to ...

My 7week old has weird breathing noises sounds like a blocked nose but her nose is definitely not blocked she is fine at night or when sleeping but when she is awake it always sounds like her noise is blocked. She was born via c section which i was told these sounds are normal but not sure if it shouldve been gone b...
