Anyone else going through this? Our 16 month old is refusing her naps and waking in the night for hours chatting and wanting to play. She only started sleeping for most of the night last month, feels like we will never get decent sleep! So fed up

So my little one has suddenly started napping 30 mins not 1 hr.... just 1 nap a day and isn't getting more night time sleep than normal. It's happened really suddenly Anyone else in the same boat?? X

Has anyone had any experience with this carrier? I recently bought it and it seems OK but not sure if it's hip healthy for baby and if these hard seat things are recommended or not? Comparing it to a Beco Gemini that I recently tried at a sling library. Any thoughts welcome please! ❤️

My son is turning 2 this month and won't stay in his bed at night 😩 every morning, around 6:30am, he gets out of his bed and tries to wake up his brother by getting into his bed (they share a room). He kind of tosses and turns a lot at night too but only tries to escape once it's morning for some reason. We have to…

Any other babies decided they don’t like sleeping or napping in their cots anymore and only contact sleeping/napping? Every time I put her down in the cot she wakes up instantly and starts to cry.

Hi! Just wondered if anyone could help recommend a good baby carrier? Expecting baby number 2 in a few months, so anticipating that a baby carrier will be a frequently used item when having to keep a 2 year old entertained! Looking for something comfy to wear and easy to use. Any advice appreciated - thank you ☺️

Hey guys, times a tough and we currently using aptamil 1 for all of my 6 week olds feeds. However he is going though a tub a week🙃 has anyone tried the Mamia aldi formula?? Is it ok and is it worth swapping over ? Thanks

Those who started bed sharing early on, did your baby experience a sleep regression. I heard so much about the dreaded 4-6 month regression but hadn’t seen anything different with my baby. Maybe naps started to get a bit weird but nothing like what I saw other woman online talking about. Do bed sharing babies go thr...

My son doesn’t play with toys just bites everything, he doesn’t play with other children will walk away from them, he likes to lick stuff too ie the floor and windows, he doesn’t say any other words other than mama when he’s upset but he does babble and he doesn’t respond to his name. Is anyone else little one like ...

Any tips. My 10 day old has been switched from BFing to formula and she seems constipated now. We do the bicycle kicks foot rub and tummy rub (as carefully as we can because she still has her umbilical cord stub). Any other things ppl would recommend to try and help her poop?

Can anyone recommend any fake-tans or gradual tans that are safe whilst breastfeeding?

Hey, Has anyone been to Cyprus Paphos for a holiday? If so how did you sterilise the formula baby bottles? Also did you use mineral water for making the formula milk? I understand I have to use mineral water with the least mineral content. Any help will be really helpful xxx

Anyone else’s 4 month old fighting the bottle? He’s always been formula fed and never had a problem. But now every feed is such a battle! He’s hungry so I know he wants it but he’s just knocking the bottle out of his mouth, and so distracted by everything else around him! Takes so long to get through a feed thes...

Has anybody used silk bedsheets for their little one? My little girl rubs her head on the cot a lot when settling herself to sleep and I’ve seen ads online about silk bedsheets and I was wondering if people actually had experience with them and if they’re worth the hype! She’s not lost hair yet but hoping to preve...

Can anyone recommend a good nursing bra with clips that’s not too expensive for larger cup sizes? I’m a 36F so the wrap over ones hold nothing in 😂

My daughter has been in hospital and is used to sleeping with a pillow and lots of blankets shall I use it at home

Brand new pair of leggings on this morning and she ran and fell over on a muddy path within 30 seconds of leaving the house 😅 any tips to get stains out as I never have much luck getting them out 😑

*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!
