My boy was on hands and knees screaming crying shaking while pooping 😢

He was a bit constipated for a few days, having only small drops. Then today this happened it was really hurting to poop. He's had a cold for 2 weeks so had poor appetite. I'm guessing that's why he was constipated as didn't get enough fiber. However he has been clinging off my breasts for 2 weeks so I know he was f...

Unexpectedly pregnant

My supply has immediately disappeared after learning I was pregnant. I feel like a failure to my baby. I have no idea how to transition to bottles. He’s hungry and cranky. Hates the bottle/formula.

Basically telling me she wants h...

Does your baby sleep in their bassinet?

Hi all I’m expecting my baby at the end of April and now shopping for baby essentials. One of them is a bedside bassinet, and I heard that actually it is one of the most overestimated items as babies prefer to sleep with their moms (and I get it, so safe and cozy😇) Just wanted to hear from you if some of your…

Please help

My 2 year old (24 months) hasn’t napped in over a week. She started skipping her nap a few weeks ago but it has progressively gotten more consistent. I have a 3 month old as well And my husband is on nights so I’m solo parenting. She is a nightmare these days I’ll be honest. If she doesn’t nap, she barely makes it t...

Bath Seats🫧

I currently use the Angel Care bath seat to bathe my now 5 month old but he’s started to push himself off which isn’t safe and makes it a lot harder to bathe him. Old photo just incase people don’t know what I’m on about 🙈 What do you use to bath your LO?

When did everyone start expressing?

Just wondering when to begin expressing as I’ve read online your milk is in as early as 20 weeks, but it can be quite risky to express early due to it potentially triggering contractions! I would love to know to prepare as with my first I never produced anything until my milk came in when he was 2 days old, so I wan...
