My little one is 12 weeks old. She has recently stopped using shields to feed but she’s gone from feeding 25 minutes on one breast to between 5-10 minutes on one breast.

My baby hits his head when he’s frustrated, angry, or doesn’t get what he wants. I thought it was just a phase, but it’s been over three months, and I’m starting to worry if it could cause any harm.

My 14 year old is so rude to my husband. They used to be so close. As she gets older she is getting worse. I keep praying it’s a phase and it’s not getting better. She’s spending more time with her dad and I’m sure that’s a huge part of it. He is so toxic and she’s doing a lot of things he’s doing. My husband used t...

That's how my day is going with a threenager. Woke her from her nap for her to cry and scream for her dad (who had gone to the shop) for 10 minutes straight.

Don’t know if i’m expecting too much but what is normal wake window wise for a 17 day old?

But all he seems to do is wake up, cry, i ch...
