More bed rest or walk about during FET TWW?

So I was telling my husband during the TWW I prefer if we had activities like visiting Christmas markets etc so it can distract me from thinking about the TWW and time passing slowly, however he said maybe resting is better. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts on this? I read right after the transfer one can eve...

Are moms actually truthful about the struggles of motherhood?

Do you find that moms are actually truthful about how they’re doing/how their babies are doing? I feel like I’m always honest and open about how challenging motherhood and newborn life can be particularly with sleep, but the responses I get are apparently everyone else’s baby is sleeping through the night and they’r...

Balancing bottles and solids

I’ve read everywhere that I need to offer a bottle first and then solids. The issue is that my LB still feeds to sleep (we’re working on changing it slowly) so he doesn’t want a bottle when he wakes up. He will only drink maybe half the bottle and then I have to give him the other half at his nap time. I’ve tried ...

Night feeds

When did your little ones stop having night feeds? My little girl is 5 months old and is still having 2-3 feeds a night! She was born on the 2nd centile, weighing 4lb 12 and now only weighs 12lb… does this have anything to do with it? I’m one tired mama😩🤣 Pic of my cutie for attention🤣🤣

Horrible sleep

My boy just turned 9 months on the 14th and his sleep has been horrible for probably over a month now. Waking up every 2 hours all night. I feel like I’m going insane idk how much longer I can take. I dream about the day when he finally sleeps through the night, he’s only done it like 3 times since he was born 😭

Please share your nap routines! ☺️

I’m sure this has been written before but I’d love to see some of your current nap routines… that work to help your littles have better sleep! 🥲 There’s nothing I haven’t tried at this point and my little boy just doesn’t sleep through the night, rarely anyway, we often have multiple wake ups with a 5.45-6am wake…

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.
