Naked at the doctor

At what age does the doctor stop asking for your baby to be naked? I was just thinking about teaching them about privacy and private areas, not letting others touch them and how I would explain or handle when it comes to care providers

Crawling with foot?

Does anyone else baby do this? 😅 She is constantly pulling herself up to stand and hated learning to crawl, I figured she would skip it altogether, but she managed to figure out how to get around using her foot and one knee. 😂 it's the funniest, cutest thing I have ever seen!

BF + pumping and switching sides

I’m trying to increase my supply by pumping after feeds, and I’m not producing a lot plus he’s cluster feeding so I just feel like I’m empty. Which side do I offer first for the next feed if for example he eats on the right side last and then after pumping my left side produces twice as much as the right? Would I of...

Baby girl private parts cleaning

I have a newborn baby girl and I’m wondering how to clean her private parts. Should I be cleaning in between the labia? The deposit is too thick and doesn’t wash away with oil, soap and water. I don’t know what to do

Fitting in self care

Okay how are we making sure we take care of ourselves while also taking care of the family? I have a 19 month old and 7 week old and I don’t even feel like a person anymore.

I swear I have the hardest to deal child ever to exist.

Formula Fed poos

Hi, my 5 week old is being formula fed on Kendamil whole milk and his poos have been absolutely horrendous. They smell super strong and are slightly loose and wondered if this was normal? I know all babies are different but the poos just seem extreme! I wondered if he had CMPA but he’s never sick or spits up his milk x

Breastfeeding

How often are you mama’s breastfeeding baby? Do you wait for their cue which sometimes can be 4+ hours or do we wake baby up and feed sooner? Also for how long should a 3 week old be on the nipple for?

Hi mummas. My 8mo little boy has been exclusively breastfed.. apart from the odd bottle of expressed milk between 3-6m… he’s now refusing the bottle.
