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 ...

Anyone else’s 9m got really solid poos that it seems like are hurting them to pass? They look like bricks and he cried when he does it. Isn’t drinking barely any milk these days either so that isn’t helping!

Not sure if it’s just because of teething and it will pass but we have never had sleep issues like this so I’m a bit shocked ☹️ any advice or anyone experiencing the same?

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🤣🤣

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 😭

Hi everyone- I had an Episiotomy around a week ago. I’m still experiencing discomfort and some itchiness that I can’t seem to shift. Has anyone else had this? It’s starting to wear me down

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…

Today’s the day that I’ve decided to stop using her dummy, I’ll be updating this post daily to let people know how it goes l, how she settles etc. feel free to follow this post if you’re thinking of getting rid too and wish me luck 😂. Just to add she’s a great sleeper I done it with my son when he was 2 and don’t…

I’ve been giving my son the wrong scoops of milk. He is 4 months old E.g : 4 scoops x 240ml My son’s a little over weight, I now know how much to give him approximately now. Will it cause any issues with him?

So my daughter has a dairy allergy and is on special milk but I feel like there is something else going on. She isn't sleeping, always has stomachache especially at night, is so gassy qnd is either constipated or has poo explosions Any ideas??

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...

Looking for your bedtime routines with times and if you sleep train how? If you put down in cot how? :) thanks all!

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.

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?

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 ...

Do you wait for sleepy cues to put baby to nap/ bed or just go by a certain time/routine ?

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...

Hi all Any recommendations for overnight nappy please? We are using pampers but is leaking overnight 🥲 Baby is 3 months old, sleep through from 7:30 to 6:30. Thanks xx

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...

Hi ladies, My LO has been crawling since 6 months and pulling to stand. He can walk holding one hand, walk with his walker.. he furniture walks with speed and he can climb things… but he still hasn’t taken an independent step. Any tips for helping him get there?!
