I am EBF for seven weeks and probably getting 3 to 5 hours of sleep every 24 hours. My body is exhausted. I have some pumped (haakaa) milk in the freezer, and I’m too tired to figure out how to use my spectra pump. I’m too tired to figure out how to combo feed with formula, too. I’m open to both. My husband is wi...

So I thought it was going to end with the sleep regression but she still refuses to sit. I have been bathing her standing up for 6 weeks now. She used to love her bath. We live in a lake community and she LOVES the lake. She loves her water table and playing in the rain. I don’t understand and it’s getting me very u...

Hi mommas, Can you recommend toys/ books for 6 month old pls

So I've avoided mentioning contact naps and night wakes successfully for months. I live far from my family and mentioned it in context to clocks changing upsetting our routine. Baby is 14 months for context. Now my mum has twice told me this week that I need to stop contact naps because I need to have a life, beca...

I think me and my boyfriend are going through a bit of a room mate phase and I hate it. He's out at work all day then comes home and does the whole bedtime routine with our LG. She then sleeps on me for the evening so he then makes us our dinner, tidies the kitchen, lets the dog out in the garden when needed and al...

My son's figured out how to climb out of his crib! Yeah, it's on the lowest setting... Wondering what you all did after the crib?

Right this is going to sound insane to a lot of people but my girl is 19 weeks and is sleeping 12 hours 6pm-6am without a feed as she stated refusing her 11pm dream feed last week to the point of Getting upset about it so stopped and she’s just slept through ever since. At 6am, she wakes up happy (hungry yes but not...

Anyone exclusively breastfeeds their baby and also have them use a pacifier? If so, which one?? This is my second baby and my first didn’t take a pacifier so he never used one. But this time around I don’t feel like being a human pacifier. Plus with a toddler, house, and wife duties I really don’t have the time. ...

Now we are coming into spring/summer what tog are we putting our baby’s in? My boy has grown out of his current love to dream swaddle and I’m unsure what tog to get now?

Is anyone getting their baby to sleep through the night? If so , what does your day / night look like?

So someone I know through my boyfriend told me that my bfs mom is planning to foster the baby and involve CPS the second it’s born??? I don’t know if it’s true or not, I have reasons to believe and to not believe it. Either way it’s a concerning statement. Before I found out I was pregnant my bf and I used drugs, ...

September 21 toddlers!

I’m unsure if i should reach out to HV for this. But my 14 month old still hasn’t said any words. He babbles, saying mama dada baba but he doesn’t link them to anything, just random. He was also a very late babbler, at 9/10 months was his first babble. I’m really concerned he’s speech delayed and i’m trying so much...

FULLY AWARE i shouldn’t yet intentionally express. is it worth getting some catchers, syringe it and store in the freezer ? does it currently hold any nutritional value ? how quickly does it need to be frozen once le...

My daughter was in her crib playing and fighting sleep just to fall asleep on the couch. 😭 all my plans to get the house picked up after I transfer my son are dunzo now.

Newborn has to have a hand under his head to port him when breastfeeding, if I put my arm under him he unlatches and throws a fuss, not sure if anyone else has the same problem and got any tips
