Tantrums.

Does anyone else’s 2022 baby throw crazy tantrums? My daughter screams and cries all the time and some times she is inconsolable. You can’t tell her no in any way or form. Don’t take anything from her either because she’ll definitely break down. I really don’t know how to handle these. 😫

Baby Not Pooping?

When should I be concerned about baby not having soiled nappies? - Baby is 3 weeks tomorrow. My baby girl lost a lot of weight after birth and continued to lose. She was seen by a few different teams and the GP and was put on a few different feeding plans (which unfortunately had to include bottles and formula), ...

When to stop breastfeeding

I feel like time is flying and baby is 4 months next week. Have people given thought as to when to stop breastfeeding and how you will do it? I initially thought 6 months but I am not sure now. I cant say I enjoy it but it is fine for the most part. However it would be nice to get my body back and have more freedom.

Bellababy carrier

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! ❤️

2 year old escape artist

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…

Cot hatred

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.

Regression

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...
