My baby is exclusively bf and currently 8 months old. She'll start nursery when she's 11 months old. They have advised us to get her used to bottles now. Until she was about 2 months old, we gave her a bottle a day until she refused to take them. Since then, she's been ebf. Now, we're gonna try again, but I don't re...

Anyone else kind of laugh when people talk about the 4 month sleep regression because their baby has literally never slept through the night 😭😭😭😭😭 my bags are getting darker by the month and I’ve just accepted constant exhaustion as my reality and walk around like a zombie x and yes before you ask my baby is ebf…

Hi ladies! Any of your 23 month olds not saying many words yet? My little boy will be 2 at the end of April, and he seems to not say many words at all! Advice would be lovely! 💜

My little will be coming up to 1 next month. I will express as long as he needs it and is still on breast milk but I want to start winding down. I have a good freezer stash. I currently pump 5x a day. 8 12 4 8 and 11pm The 11pm one is surplus just so I dont feel too full overnight and allows me to build a stash. ...

My 8.5 month old has completely changed, constantly moaning and fussing as soon as I leave her, I could be in the kitchen while she’s in the sitting room and she’ll start crying and come to find me (she’s currently army crawling everywhere) she did go through a stage of realising i could leave her around 6/7 months ...

I really need some advice. I feel crazy. My 15 month old still wakes up at night. Sometimes it’s just one time at 4 AM but other times she’ll wake up at 12 AM and then again 4 AM. At 4 AM, 5 AM if I’m lucky she will not go to bed unless she’s touching me. If I try to just put her in bed with me, she wiggles around, ...

My little boy is 16 weeks, his wake windows very rarely stretch to 2 hours which is supposedly the top end for his age. Interested to hear what others are experiencing for their ones around the 4 month mark? X

Y’all, I have been awake since like 3:30 am after going to sleep at like 1:30 am and it’s now almost 7:30. I got up for a bit and moved around some to try and get my brain to slow down and got on the heating pad because my lower back was hurting. Still tossing and turning with no progress falling asleep. Been having...

Has anyone had successful nights of their baby sleeping in their bassinet/crib? My baby will only sleep on his dads and my chest but I don’t even get a descent night of sleep with him on me. I either wake up to check on him or wake up due to him moving around. It’s 5am and I tried putting him to sleep in his bassine...

How do you know when you baby is full I don't know when his full cos heel go off the boob then go back on after 3 seconds off been off and keep doing that

I have them regularly, they don’t effect me that much, they just let me be more focused and alert 🚨😂 Example: I leave my baby in the safe playpen, so I can do something around the house, then this intrusive thought come in and I’m scare she will chock on something inside ( even if there is nothing to be choked…

Little one goes to bed around 7/8PM, we wake up to feed at 10/11PM and then he goes back to sleep until 5/6AM. Some wake ups in the night but never for food. Do you ever drop the 10/11PM feed as that seems like a long time to sleep? If yes, how would you know when to do it and would you increase frequency of feeds i...

Has anyone found using bottles of formula at night helps their baby sleep longer stretches? I’m exclusively pumping but considering doing this.

I was exclusively breastfeeding my LO for the first couple of weeks, but was advised to introduce formula as she wasn't gaining weight. Since introducing it, life has been so much easier and I have been much less stressed about how much food she is getting. She is also gaining weight really well. I am still breastfe...

My little one absolutely hates bath time! Whenever he touches the water he starts crying! And no, is not too hot or cold. We've created a cosy atmosphere for him, we're playing beforehand, we've tried anything but he's just not having it. Please tell me I'm not the only one! How did you get your babies to enjoy bei...

I sadly feel my breastfeeding journey is coming to an end. Its not been easy, I was putting him on the breast once or twice a day (after 5 or 10 minutes would fuss then cry so gave him a bottle) and pumped 3 times a day. I was going to continue this as long as possible but I'm struggling to produce 10mls a pump now ...

Really pees me off seeing posts saying ‘oh my baby sleeps in their crib/basket from 9pm to 8am blah blah and I don’t know if this is normal or they want to contact nap during the day blah blah even though they sleep in cribs all night’. These women don’t realise how lucky they are having a baby who sleeps that well ...

So my very nearly 6 month old has slept through the night for the past 2-3 weeks and we have nailed down his daytime routine so we’ve had a very good past couple of weeks. But last night he screamed when I put him to bed, he woke up at 2am hysterically crying and had to be rocked back to bed and at 5:30am he woke u...

When did peoples boobs stop growing? I’m 21 weeks and no bras fit. I’ve brought some new and bigger that fit but they’re not comfy. I’m reluctant to get measured and buy more if they’re going to grow again!!! Also bra recommendations?? Even ones that are comfy result in major rib pain at the moment as they’re not ...

My LO has been waking up about 7 times every night for the last 3 weeks. I usually stick a boob in his mouth and he falls asleep quite quickly. But then we have to repeat again an hour later and again… What’s causing this? He’s 15 weeks! Isit hunger due to a growth spurt or a regression? How long will it last? I a...
