Early morning active sleep

My little one has always had a period of active sleep at around 5am that is incredibly noisy. I used to take her into bed and breastfeed her and she'd resettle. I'm no longer bfing now and for a while she was still settling once I brought her into bed and we'd cosleep for an hour or two until we were ready to get up...

Trying to get my EBF baby to take the bottle

My little one is 15 weeks and has been exclusively breastfed. I’ve been trying to get her to take a bottle of expressed breast milk in the hope I can have some me time! I’ve tried NUK & MAM bottles to no avail! Is there any teets or tips on how you got your baby to take the bottle? She never took a dummy either.

Rolling in sleep

Hi mamas, My son is 8 months old and we just transitioned him from bassinet to the crib. Last night he kept rolling to sleep on his stomach and he’s not able to roll from tummy to back yet. What should I do?

Sleep help

Anyone got any advice or help. My boy used to sleep all night in his cot and now he is waking up between 10-1 and staying awake and crying for up to 4 hours. I am beyond exhausted I don't know what's wrong with him or how to sort it. I bring him into my bed and that doesn't help either so I'm at a loss but I have a ...

Different perspectives

Everybody keeps telling me my baby is quite big and whenever I tell them his 6 months they’re shocked and say wow he’s a big boy isn’t he. But when I look at him he’s tiny . He’s in 50th centile and weighs 8.5kg . That’s pretty normal and average for boys surely ? Do us mum’s see our babies differently or are t...

How long does your little one take to settle after a night feed?

I'm at my wits end, he is often only up once but doesn't feed to sleep, after he's been fed he will be awake for 1.5 - 2 hours every night. Not crying just awake and really noisy. I've tried adjusting naps and wake time etc and it makes no difference. I don't think it's just teething as he has always been like thi...

Cold nights

Temporarily staying at my mums house until our house is sorted & having the heating on overnight isn’t an option it knocks on and off all night SO LOUDLY and wakes the whole house up. However it’s significantly colder than my little one is used to and she’s waking up in the night. She’s already in a vest, onesie & o...

EBF baby won’t take the bottle!

Hi ladies, so my baby is EBF and she’s 7 weeks old. She’s had 2 bottles of my milk since she’s been born just to test that she will take them but lately she’s refusing.

Breastfeeding tips!

Last night, literally over night, my milk supply came in and my boobs slowly got harder and baby started struggling to latch as easily as he was. He’s also been a lot more keen to be on the boob. Any tips for managing just how firm and painful they are right now? Or how I can get him to latch more successfully

Me making noise when falling asleep

Slightly odd one but I am 13 weeks pregnant and I’ve started the last few nights making noises as I’m falling asleep. It’s like a little moan (not sexual) or more like a little noise you make when you’re agreeing with someone without using words (if that makes sense). It’s driving me up the bloody wall. I’ve not sle...

Sleep training

I went from co sleeping to him sleeping in his crib at about 11 months. It was a brutal transition. But we got it. He was then sleeping 9 pm-8:30 am and he’d nap 12:30-2:30 And that was perfectly fine with me. We had a couple late nights when he got sick recently which obviously pushed back wake time for both of us ...
