After having my first baby in 2021, I developed agoraphobia and it got worse/diagnosed in 2023. I can't be outside my house without my husband without having anxiety. somedays, I still have anxiety and dissociate. Right now, I'm literally just sitting on my back porch watching my kids play and the longer we're out h...

Just wanting to know if anybody else having same experience as me? My 8 week old has always been such a struggle to get to sleep, found i had to have contact naps to be able to get him to sleep as soon as he put down he would wake up. But lately he's literally hardly slept all day! He's ok at night wakes every 2-3 ...

Would you say it’s cruel? We won’t be letting him cry for more than 10 mins.

How do I overcome the feeling of guilt and failure linked to breastfeeding. Started off breastfeeding in hospital and felt like it was going okay but baby wasn’t gaining weight well. Was advised to top up with breast milk. At 2 weeks baby was being violently sick and was admitted to hospital. Discovered he had pylor...

My LO is doing 3 naps, they all seem to be the classic 30mins unless we get lucky (pure chance) for longer ones. Are your LO 3 or 2? Do they sleep well at night? Our LO has just started doing 10.5/11hr stints - which is lovely (absolutely not complaining) but some bedtimes are like 18:15/18:30 so you can imagine...

We’ve been super lucky with our second boy, who’s slept 13 hours every night since he was about 4 months old, but this last few weeks he will go down fine and then be screaming and crying until like 3am or so, he’s fine when I cuddle him but he refuses to settle on his own 🥺🥺 he has a little Ollie owl teddy that…

My son is 10 weeks and pretty tall. He’s grown out of his love to dream swaddles so I’ve had to put him in a sleep sack tonight with his arms free. I just know he’s going to wake himself up by his jolting reflex, has anyone else had to transition? Did your little ones just get used to it and how long did it take?

My baby is 10 months and isn’t crawling - should I be worried?

Should I be concerned if my 10month hasn’t clapped for a whole week?

Anyone else feel like the 4 & 6 months sleep regression has rolled into one? 🤪. My little girl was sleeping 7-6am but when she hit 4.5-5 months BAM it’s like having a newborn again 😴. I swear she drinks more at night than she does in the day! I’m really hoping it’s a phase and it will pass..🙏🏻😂

So as the post says, my 2 and a half year old daughter cries when I sing, she’s fine with nursery rhymes etc but when I sing properly she cries and gets really upset. I’m very good at singing so it can’t be because it sounds awful so I don’t understand why she hates it so much. I’m just wondering if I’m doing someth...

I’m currently 4 days into recovery from mastitis. I pump to feed my baby via a bottle. I’ve noticed my milk supply really decreased in my breast by not in the one with mastitis (that has decreased but not by much) My breast that’s has decreased loads was my breast I got most of my milk off. Is this normal and wil...

Can anyone recommend a good Osteopath in London for my baby who’s 2 weeks old and suffering with colic/reflux. Trying to find any solution that will help!

Of course I've been on and off emotional throughout my pregnancy.. I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and life has become a lot more overwhelming lately. I've communicated this with my therapist but she's making it seem as if it's "just my hormones". My boyfriend is great but is struggling a bit to keep up with how I'm...

It does go with pressure applied

When did everyone stop using prep machine water for their babies? Along with when did everyone stop sterilising their bottles? My son still has bottle in morning and night just of cows milk but I’m really anxious about stopping sterilising his bottles. He has water or a drop of juice in water during the day from t...

Honestly feel like a failure of a parent sometimes as my son is 4 in August and still won’t sleep alone in his bedroom. We have a 2 bed house and my partner now sleeps in my son’s room/bed every night and my son will sleep in with me. My relationship isn’t bad, but we’re nowhere near as romantic as we used to be, ...

So my ebf baby has finally started sleeping long stretches and is now only waking once in the night at 4.45/5am to feed, she then goes back to sleep until 7/7.30am but I am wide awake and can’t get back to sleep so I am starting my day at 5am 💀 has anyone got any tips on how to help her go an extra hour or so…

Any tips for trying to get a breastfed baby to take a bottle? Tried mam and tommee tippee but fully refusing - crying, arching back etc

I finally caught her doing it. I would just randomly see her sitting and wouldn’t see the process of it.
