Body hair during child birth!

Well I know this is going to be controversial but want to hear people’s views and experiences. I’m not one who maintains my body hair very well, but I do feel so much better and “cleaner” in myself after I’ve shaved my legs, underarms and pubic hair. I’m wondering if there are certain expectations for when you give ...

Projectile Vomiting

Is anybody's little one experiencing projectile vomiting multiple times a day especially after coughing? I took my little boy to the doctors and they've put it down to a viral infection. It's just so horrible seeing him vomit out all his feeds and I'm so worried about him losing weight 😢 Other than that he's still…

Milestones

Has your baby said any words yet? I'm not comparing, I know they still have plenty of time. I'm just curious. My daughter is still babbling and we think she's trying to say kitty, but no dada or mama yet unless it's by accident, so, she's saying it but not intentionally.

Speech delay

Hi all! Just looking for some advise and maybe other mom’s that are on the same boat. My son will be 3 on the 31st December. He does speak, and constructs simple sentences.
