My 6 week old daughter has been so hard to put to sleep the last few days! It’s not witching hour anymore, it’s a whole day thing! It’s like she’s fighting her sleep and wakes easily, we don’t even put her down, she’s constantly in our arms. I’ve had her on my breast since 5pm, it’s now 10pm. She is suckling in be...

Oh baby is 2 weeks and 2 days. We thought we had his feeding figured out a little but the last two/three days he has being really difficult to feed. He was taking 4oz every 2.5/3 hours. Which the HV recommended as he was drinking his full 3oz and waking for more. The last couple of days, he has been waking during t...

My son is 2 in April and he’s on 1 nap a day. He was so good at napping in his cot. He’d love going up and sleep for around 2 hours and I could get things done. For the last 2 weeks, as soon as it’s time for nap time, he asks for the car and if I take him up, he has a full on meltdown so I’ve had no option but to d...

Any recommendations for a car seat or on how to get the seat to stop forcing baby boys chin into his chest? The one that came with my travel system forces his chin into his chest, the only way he can use it is by me having to adjust the headrest to pull his head back a bit, but I’m not sure this then provides enoug...

My 3 year old is constantly overtired, please send help 😂 he sleeps 7:30-5:30ish is tired still but won’t go back to sleep. He used to nap to catch up (I’d give him 2 hours) sounds crazy I know but then that night he would sleep 7:30-6:30 so he essentially gets an extra 3 hours and is soooo much happier in himself…

Can anyone recommend a good travel cot that they have tried and tested? Thank you

Does anyone know where sells carobel at the best prices? And does anyone know how to best mix it in without leaving clumps and without shaking the bottle hard?

Sorry if this is a silly question 😳 My 5mo tends to wake early in the morning (6am). This morning she woke at 6:20 - or at least I woke then to her babbling. I left her for 20mins to see if she would go back to sleep, she didn't, so I got up and breastfed her. Put her back in her cot while I went to shower and get…

I don’t plan to put my toddler in a separate room for now so how could I manage both kids? Anyone with same preferences could pls suggest how you’ve done it please ☺️

My little guy makes the craziest sounds when he sleep, and he kicks his legs and moves his head and grunts and is absolutely impossible to sleep through. So my question is how do you know when to just leave them to do their thing and when to pick them up Becuase he wants a feed or nappy change or just a hug? Do you ...

Omds I’m losing my mind!! My 2 year old sleeps at 9pm but wakes up at 6am every day! He used to get 10 hours at night with frequent wake ups, now he sleeps through from 12-6am but is up way too early. Nap is 2-3 hours long bc he doesn’t get enough sleep at night. I’m also pregnant and running on about 5hrs sleep. Is...

Anyone else a solo mama, working full time and in the final year of their degree? Any tips to survive the last couple months of study before my 6 years of hard work is complete? Toddler has sleep regression too, thankful for a very understanding boss, but absolutely drowning in it all right now. Can anyone relate or...

My little girl is 21 months. She has been on pepti one since about a month old. We completed the milk ladder months ago and she absolutely fine with food that contains cows milk. We then started putting milk into porridge and things like that which she tolerates. Last Friday I decided to try her might time bottl...

Since our baby was born my husband changed, he is a completely different person, now he is always mad and yells at me all the time. He did everything possible for me to go crazy (literally because now I have postpartum depression and I was having really bad panic attacks and suicidal thoughts) I started going to the...

My little boy was 13 months on 3rd March. He still hasn’t taken any steps, he stands all the time but would still rather crawl. Are everyone else’s babies who are a similar age on here walking yet? I’m always so worried about him being behind.

You see the way you can leave breast milk at room temp for 5 hours, does this mean if I pumped at 2am, I could use the same pump (without washing) again at 6am, then put that milk in fridge, wash and sterilise the pumps?

4 the past few month my 19 month old will not sleep unless he is contact sleeping. He always been a restless sleeper and woke regular for breastfeeds or to be touch so he can drift back off. But yeah past two months or so he wants to use me as a pillow. Who else's little one like this. He still breastfeeds but not e...

With baby on the move and pulling to stand on everything, how are you getting yourselves ready for the day? I've tried containing him in his cot but he tries to stand in there and ends up falling and bopping his head on the bars. It's getting increasingly difficult to just get ready for the day 🥴

My baby is 5months, 2 months corrected as he was 3 months early & I wanted to stop breastfeeding soon (at around the 6 months mark) I’m currently mixed feeding, but I just feel so guilty as he also uses my chest for comfort. So I’m just wondering the average durations everyone else is doing/done?
