Anyone else’s 4 month old fighting the bottle? He’s always been formula fed and never had a problem. But now every feed is such a battle! He’s hungry so I know he wants it but he’s just knocking the bottle out of his mouth, and so distracted by everything else around him! Takes so long to get through a feed thes...

Has anybody used silk bedsheets for their little one? My little girl rubs her head on the cot a lot when settling herself to sleep and I’ve seen ads online about silk bedsheets and I was wondering if people actually had experience with them and if they’re worth the hype! She’s not lost hair yet but hoping to preve...

Can anyone recommend a good nursing bra with clips that’s not too expensive for larger cup sizes? I’m a 36F so the wrap over ones hold nothing in 😂

My daughter has been in hospital and is used to sleeping with a pillow and lots of blankets shall I use it at home

Brand new pair of leggings on this morning and she ran and fell over on a muddy path within 30 seconds of leaving the house 😅 any tips to get stains out as I never have much luck getting them out 😑

*Child - safety question*** What child safety restrictions have people got on their windows? I know they are sometimes in-built but don't look like they are. Have seen some on Amazon but not sure if they'd fit - the ones where your windows just open a bit not all the way .

that it is biologically normal and completely natural for babies to sleep on us and next to us. Putting them down in cots and cribs etc. (even if it is safe) goes against natural instincts. So if your baby is resisting, rest assured there's nothing wrong. Enjoy the contact naps and cosleeping while it lasts!

Just curious as to what others do at night with bedroom doors. Do you leave both yours and children's doors open? Do you close all doors? Do you have one open and one closed? Little chap is still in with us at the minute (house reno mixed with him still waking a million times a night) but he'll be trying his own r...

I feel like my baby sleeps less than the recommended amount. We do 3 hours of naps and roughly 10 hours overnight. She does seem happy and content but I do wake her up some mornings too otherwise it throws everything else in the day out. Her wake windows seem accurate so if I let her sleep later, her bedtime would a...

How much are your little ones drinking each feed? My little one is 3 weeks old and won’t drink anymore than 2oz each feed, should I be worried? She feeds every 2 hours during the day and longer stretches throughout the night!

Has anyone not had their 2 year review? We've not had a letter or anything. Just wondering if that's normal?

Hello everyone Second time mum here with a hack for you all if you didn’t already know 🤪 make sure you and your family all download Emma diary’s app and collect your free packs. I never had to buy size 1 nappies last time, I had enough wipes for months and the vouchers I collected saved me so much money on…

I'm dyyyyying. We were FINALLY sleeping longer stretches again. That lasted like 2 days. Now she just rolls onto her tummy all night long and gets stuck. I have to keep flipping her over only for her to do it again. I have no problem letting her sleep on her tummy except she's crying and complaining. We do tummy tim...

Has anyone swapped their child from a swaddle to a sleep sack? My 9 week old only does long stretches of sleep if he is swaddled but I want to try and slowly transition him over rather than go cold turkey but he wakes himself up by hitting himself in the face with his flailing arms 😂 If you have successfully done…

Recommendations for baby carriers that can be used before 3 months. I was looking at the momcozy but it’s from 3 months. I had an ergo baby with my first but I’m now not able to use that one. I liked the style of it so looked at getting one but they’re pretty expensive new (was gifted to me before).

Anyone's else's 5 month old in a sleep regression with me?

I am 3.5 weeks post partum and area around scar is still sensitive however how do I know if the scar is infected? The scar itself is more red than it has been previously but I don't have any other symptoms. Is this just the colour of its healing process?

I know this has been posted so many times but I can’t seem to find anything when I scroll! My little girl is ready to transition to one nap I think as is constantly fighting her afternoon nap or not having it! It was nap about 10 then about 3 for one hour at a time but now thinking of letting her have just one 2 hou...

My baby keeps slapping me and others in the face. I’ve tried to google if this is normal but it just tells me about toddler tantrums. She’s 11 months old, is anyone else’s baby doing this?

How long do you let your little ones play independently for?
