Hi all, my 3 months old baby has suddenly decided to refuse taking the bottle. She won't suck, just sort of mouths it and then screams, sometimes even to the point of gargling and sounding like she's choking with the bottle in. And we take it out, she screams will more. She’s been really hard to settle for bed at n...

My LO is now 4 months for the last three days has been crying for a long time before each nap. It seems to start when he gets tired. I am watching his sleep queues and wake windows and we have tried everything from walking around, changing him, singing, another bottle etc. But he seems to only stop for a moment when...

My boy is getting neutered in February, had to postpone it due to moving house, moving vets and then the day he was meant to be going in originally I went into labour! Just wondering how long it took other people’s male dogs to be back to themselves after having the operation?

Hi all! FTM worrier here!! Our 4.5 month old has had a cold since Wednesday and feeding has gone completely out the window 🫠 Formula fed - every bottle is a battle only managing to get 70-90mls down him in one sitting (normally drinks between 180-210mls every 3-4 hours). I am offering milk every two hours but he is…

I don't know whether to leave her a little longer to see if she self settles. I probs only give her 2mins max (feels way longer but I checked my camera and I'm getting her between 2 to 3 mins) What does everyone else do? For info she's still in our room as we have temporarily moved into my parents house for 3 mo...

My son is 7 months and waking every night, around 1:30/2, for 2hrs. This has been going on since the beginning of November. He’s wide awake and nothing can settle him. He’s not hungry, I change his nappy if it’s needed, I’ve adjusted the temperature in his room in case he’s getting cold, I’ve tried going in every ...

To start we've had little practical support. No one has ever had my lo for more than a couple of hours... other than nursery. My inlaws have only ever had my lo (now 4) for an hour tops alone. There's now talk of him sleeping over theirs (an hour drive away) Firstly it's a bit too little too late in my eyes. Se...

I’m wanting advice please. My baby is almost 9 weeks old. Since he had his 8 week jabs he’s been sleeping for most of the day. Due to this, it’s taking ages to get him down when it’s actually bedtime and then he’s waking around 2am and isn’t sleeping again till around 8am no matter what we try. Will he just grow out...

Hey! My little one is 9 weeks old now and I’ve been pumping since day one. At the moment, he drinks every two hours and has 120ml per feed. He weighs over 14lb so he drinks A LOT!😂 The last feeds - 8pm & 4:30am is with formula (180ml). I know that with formula, babies will tend to feed less but have more. Do I…

5 day old baby loves to wrapped to sleep in a swaddle like a burrito We have bought swaddle wraps but he isn’t a fan a was restless at the start of the night in it We swapped it to a fleece blanket Is this ok to sleep in over night?? Or has anyone experienced this before when they prefer one type to another ? A...

She seems fine. Sometimes she strains unsuccessfully, but overall not uncomfortable or vomiting.

I’m 3 months pp and my milk supply has dramatically changed in the last week. I’m still pumping the exact same as I was, my life style hasn’t changed in anyway, I haven’t changed my diet, I cannot pin point what’s happened 😭 I was pumping 120ml a pump last Saturday and today I’m pumping 30ml a pump if I’m lucky.…

My little one has started throwing his head back quite often. It seems to only be when he’s frustrated or tired but I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this?

Is this normal ? And why do we only talk about postpartum depression?!

What are the best period tracking apps?

I am one of those who have no drive… but I’m super curious of those who claim to have sex before 6 weeks because you just “can’t wait”. Did you not tear during labor? Are you not bleeding or having lochia… which smells like a dumpster truck? Also… I’ve seen people say they do anal.. like people saying “we have mor...

I know it may be a stupid question, but I am really wondering. My little one recently turned 4 months, and he was rolling before but not during nighttime in his cot! Now he is sleeping on his side and on his tummy, but when I think about him rolling over and maybe not being able to roll back or to be in a deep sle...

Does anyone else's baby spend some nights straining loudly for poos. No difference to how much she is winded. No signs of constipation, but whilst asleep in the next to me she will loudly strain during active sleep

Has anyone else changed from a carrycot to an upright chair but facing you? My little boy is 15, nearly 16 weeks and hates the carrycot as he likes to be nosy 😂 and look about. This means we end up having to put him in the carrier, but he is getting so heavy so isn’t good long term and was wondering if the upright…

I will start by admitting I am not a great wife or mom. I wavered in my relationship and seeked attention from other men, but I finally put a stop to that bad behaviour and told myself I'd commit myself to my husband. We'd fight a lot about communication and our sex life, I'm awful at communicating, I literally shut...
