Has anyone got any tips for a colicky baby that aren’t already on google? We’ve tried everything with our 6 week old LO and the night times are really rough. I find myself getting upset simply because I can’t help her and I feel so sorry for her! I’m going to talk to my health visitor on Tuesday as I’m fairly certai...

My twins are 4 months next week and I have been breastfeeding and expressing all this time. When I tell you I have gone through it mentally I really have. It’s been the hardest thing ever. I’ve felt like giving up on so many occasions but I’ve persevered. Sometimes I just feel like I’m not producing enough. I can’t ...

My 3 month old has been in a swaddle at night since birth and is now trying to roll 🫣. Knowing it’s now not safe I need to stop using it but he just will not settle at night without it. Has anyone got any tips? I’ve tried a sleeping bag as a way to transition but it clearly does not give him the same safe/cocooned…

So my little one is 7 weeks old and we have been EBF. I've pumped 2-3 times and given it in a bottle in the first couple of weeks but not had a chance to pump since. I hear a lot of people talk about leaking milk, or having to catch their let down on one side while they feed on the other breast. I never leak in be...

My LO sleeps in nursery for an hour and half but then sleeps at 10:30pm every night but since yesterday he is home and I tried to put him to sleep but he was fresh and playing, woke up at 8:30 am and slept at 9:30 pm. Is it okay to skip afternoon nap at this age?

What is everyone’s little ones on now for wake windows/routines?

Okay, so I have stopped breastfeeding my almost 2 year old this week, I stopped because I am pregnant (7 weeks), any advice on what to do when you stop? My boobs are massive, engorged and so so sore. She’s my first baby so I don’t know if there’s anything I have to do after I stop breastfeeding. Any advice welcome, ...

What bottles/cups has everyone moved onto for cows milk? How are we feeding to sleep if we can’t use baby bottles eeeeek xx

Where is everyone's baby at with milestones? My lg can roll back to front ( did front to back 3x 3 weeks ago but hasn't since!), she doesn't really hold her head up long for tummy time and just lays down. She's doing "crunches " trying to sit up, and can sit with support. Shes done 2 really cute proper chuckles abo...

My little boy is 14 months old. I went back to work when he was 9 months old. I work part time mon-wed 9-5. He goes to a childminder & our parents and they always say he’s good as gold. When it comes to our time just me and him on Thursday and Fridays, he’s a different baby - really whiny, hitting & pulling my ha...

How is everyone sleeping whilst their babies lie next to them being noisy? It’s my shift until 3am when my partner takes over and I am *so tired* right now but she’s making so much noise (silent reflux 🙃) that I just can’t switch off! This happens every night so I am only getting like 4 1/2 hours sleep 😭

I've been breastfeeding for almost 2 years. Recently, I noticed that the shape and firmness of my boob's have changed. I'm so scared and shattered that I just want to cry. Will they ever come back to a more or less decent shape? I know they won't be exactly like before pregnancy. But I don't want to end up with slo...

Hey mamas! I’ve been thinking about all the wild thoughts that ran through my mind right before labor and how much I didn’t know, even after all the prepping. I kinda of felt helpless. I did 4+ years of mindfulness exercises including yoga, meditation etc. I never thought about using any techniques during labor ( wh...

I had a bit of a foul mouth before my daughter, so I had to adjust as quickly as I could! Luckily I had a bit of practice guarding my words when I worked as a ski instructor (lots of Littles in some classes), but my family and friends tend to make fun of me when they hear me "not curse" now lol so I'm curious, what ...

babe is 14-2 rn and she just keeps pooping during her sleep. i try and avoid feeding her too soon before bed and trying to encourage her to go after dinner (we’re working on figuring out potty training so having her sit on the potty or a poop massage if that doesn’t work) but even if she’s pooped like 3-4 times duri...

Hey guys! Posted anonymous as haven’t told everyone I’m pregnant again yet:) But just wondering if anyone could help from experience which pushchairs will be best for a baby & a nearly toddler ….side by side or the front / back ones? Don’t want to waste my money on the wrong one, Thankyou in advance!!

Does anybody know if RPH provides the small pre-made formula bottles for baby’s after birth? I do want to try to BF but just wondering if I’m not successful, do I have to take my own or do the hosp provide them. Thanks x

Our little boy is 7 months old and has always been brilliant at sleeping however it gets to bedtime now and he refuses to sleep. From 4.5 months he used to have bath at 6.30, then be in his next to me asleep by 7.30 no problem. At 6 months he was bath at 6.30 and asleep in his own room by 7/7.30 The last 2 weeks h...

Anyone else have this? Sometimes it just completely catches me off guard and it’s so painful to walk on. I just struggled to get up the stairs to my baby crying in her cot 🙃
