Hey all! I have been looking at a travel cot for our holiday next month. Im looking on FB market place and none of them come with a mattress- just the hard base. After researching I can see the hard base is in fact the mattress 😐. That's horrible, it looks hard and uncomfortable. But thinking about travelling…
I had baby n2 in Jan via emergency c section and it was a near death experience, I absolutely hate my birth story and I cringe or cry everytime I think about it. I’ve kept really busy these past two months so I feel like the pain is only now catching up with me. Also, baby was in the nicu for two weeks. Anyone else ...
Does anyone have any recommendations for a bed rail for a 22 month old? Me and my daughter are going away to Newcastle next month to go and visit my best friend and rather than lug a travel cot all the way up there, I was thinking of getting a bed rail and using that in a single bed instead for her to sleep in.
Does anyone else use the owlet sock? My son is almost 12 weeks old. We bought an owlet sock before he was born but we haven’t used it yet. I keep seeing videos about people using them, I can’t tell if it would make my anxiety better or worse starting to use one now
Just to share some reassurance… While the official advice is to stop lying on the back after 28 weeks, some websites even tell you it’s better to avoid as early as beginning of second trimester! If you’re also confused and worried about sleeping positions, I found this which I thought was very reassuring so just wa...
Has anyone else’s baby not giggled yet or took a while to giggle when they were small? My little one is 18 weeks old and I literally feel like my life is currently being consumed by the fact my baby isn’t giggling… Now I know this sounds dramatic, but we have a few mum friends who had babies all around the same age...
Anyone else had the bottom of their mam bottles melt in the microwave? Followed all the instructions etc.
Currently going through purple crying. Late at night for hours just him crying no matter what I do. I’ve broke down because of it. Has anyone else gone through it?
I have a 2yo and a newborn. At the moment they have a change bag each. I wondered what others do? Is it worth getting a bigger change bag and putting their clothes/ nappies all together so it’s less to carry? Recommendations on change bags if so… ☺️TIA xx
My baby is exactly 6 months today and the past week has been sleeping in his own room for his day naps and instead of 20-30 minute naps he now naps for an hour + EVERY nap! So I’m considering putting him in his room tonight but I’m so anxious! We have a camera set up and I can always bring him back into our room a...
How do you get your baby down for a nap? Since we've hit the 12 week mark, my boy is very fussy around nap time, to the point he just won't sleep! I've tried bouncing him, quiet room, noisy room, darkened room etc It's like he knows he should be napping, but he decides against it 😂 What are your tips? X
I would like to know your bed time routine with your child. I feel I need a better one.
My baby is now 9 months and shows no interest in moving. She can sit really well and can roll over but she can’t crawl. When I put her on her tummy she just kicks her legs and then starts getting upset. Anyone else in the same boat or got any advice on how to get her moving?
I’m freaking out.. my little girl is 10 weeks old. I changed her nappy and fed her at 12.30am.. she then somehow slept through from 1.30am until 8.15am and even then I had to change her nappy to wake and feed her. I say change her nappy but is was bone dry even after that many hours. Is this something to worry about...
Any tips / advice?!
My little girl is 13 months and still use bottles for her milk. But she still doesn’t know how to hold the bottles herself, so we need to hold it for her. Is this worrying?
I'm living with my BD but I need to leave because he's a narcissist and stressing me and my babies out. They don't even believe he likes them because of the way he treat them.
I combine feed and I’m planning to stop BF at six months which is next week. This was always been my plan and tbh I want my body back and am desperate to get back in shape but I feel guilty. Any thoughts? I’m still feeding baby at night but cutting day feeds as I’m going to be cutting calories so my supply will just...
Hi all, I'm trying to prepare myself for the 4 month sleep regression. Currently my bub sleeps wonderfully at night and insists on contact naps during the day. My instagram feed full of "sleep experts" say that you need to teach baby how to sleep independently by sleep training to get through the regression. The ...
Anyone else still doing hourly or 2 hourly wake ups? 🫣 anything you've done helped? We breastfeed and also give boob milk in a bottle. Sometimes we rock him back to sleep but it's easier to feed him back to sleep but am sooo exhausted and it's getting to me 🥺💜
