Toddlers

Is anyone else struggling with their 19 month old at the minute? Everything I do she twists and that’s with all her needs met. She’s awful in her pram and I really struggle taking her anywhere.

Still have a Lump in breast

So I went to the doctor 2 days ago…. They told me it’s a clogged milk duct (they think) . They just felt around on it and that’s what they came up with. NOTHING im doing is making it go away or even get smaller. What should I do ? I’m at my wits end. It doesn’t hurt unless I push really hard. The doctor said hot com...

Dummy thoughts

How are your little ones doing with dummys (if they take one)? My little boy loves his for naps and sleep. He uses it to fall asleep and once he’s dropped off it falls out of his mouth. He doesn’t feed during the night (last feed at 8pm) but since he has hit the regression he now wakes on average 6/7 times between ...

Nappy changing

How are we going nappy changes? My little girl screams Bloody Mary when I try to change her nappy. She won’t lay still and will cry so much until it’s finished and will turn and turn trying to get away from me

Fatigue Sleepiness Naps

Does anyone else feel intense amount of fatigue? Where sitting down and resting, including napping is almost required daily?

So sleep deprived

I think I might be the only one whose son doesn’t sleep through the night. Forget STTN I feel like he’s the only one who wakes still every 2-3 hours on a bad night which is lots of nights. Always wanting to muse and not settling easily without nursing. Tried everything from the book on not nursing to sleep, increasi...

Short naps

Any tips for conquering short naps? My 6.5 month old has never really been a good napper and will usually nap for around 25-40mins per nap, 3x per day. She’s sleeping well at night and is mostly happy after her short naps but would be nice to get an hour at least once a day! Does this just sort itself with age?

16-Month Speech

Hi everyone, we recently had a visit with a health visitor and my son scored quite low in the speech portion. I’m not necessarily worried yet because he babbles and talks a lot but just doesn’t say many real words. He says “moo”, “quack quack” “woof woof” and “hi or hiya” along with “dada”. He has only put two words...
