So my little one is 7 weeks old and we have been EBF. I've pumped 2-3 times and given it in a bottle in the first couple of weeks but not had a chance to pump since. I hear a lot of people talk about leaking milk, or having to catch their let down on one side while they feed on the other breast. I never leak in be...

My LO sleeps in nursery for an hour and half but then sleeps at 10:30pm every night but since yesterday he is home and I tried to put him to sleep but he was fresh and playing, woke up at 8:30 am and slept at 9:30 pm. Is it okay to skip afternoon nap at this age?

What is everyone’s little ones on now for wake windows/routines?

Where is everyone's baby at with milestones? My lg can roll back to front ( did front to back 3x 3 weeks ago but hasn't since!), she doesn't really hold her head up long for tummy time and just lays down. She's doing "crunches " trying to sit up, and can sit with support. Shes done 2 really cute proper chuckles abo...

My little boy is 14 months old. I went back to work when he was 9 months old. I work part time mon-wed 9-5. He goes to a childminder & our parents and they always say he’s good as gold. When it comes to our time just me and him on Thursday and Fridays, he’s a different baby - really whiny, hitting & pulling my ha...

How is everyone sleeping whilst their babies lie next to them being noisy? It’s my shift until 3am when my partner takes over and I am *so tired* right now but she’s making so much noise (silent reflux 🙃) that I just can’t switch off! This happens every night so I am only getting like 4 1/2 hours sleep 😭

I've been breastfeeding for almost 2 years. Recently, I noticed that the shape and firmness of my boob's have changed. I'm so scared and shattered that I just want to cry. Will they ever come back to a more or less decent shape? I know they won't be exactly like before pregnancy. But I don't want to end up with slo...

Hey mamas! I’ve been thinking about all the wild thoughts that ran through my mind right before labor and how much I didn’t know, even after all the prepping. I kinda of felt helpless. I did 4+ years of mindfulness exercises including yoga, meditation etc. I never thought about using any techniques during labor ( wh...

I had a bit of a foul mouth before my daughter, so I had to adjust as quickly as I could! Luckily I had a bit of practice guarding my words when I worked as a ski instructor (lots of Littles in some classes), but my family and friends tend to make fun of me when they hear me "not curse" now lol so I'm curious, what ...

babe is 14-2 rn and she just keeps pooping during her sleep. i try and avoid feeding her too soon before bed and trying to encourage her to go after dinner (we’re working on figuring out potty training so having her sit on the potty or a poop massage if that doesn’t work) but even if she’s pooped like 3-4 times duri...

Hey guys!

Don’t want to waste my money on the wrong one, Thankyou in advance!!

Does anybody know if RPH provides the small pre-made formula bottles for baby’s after birth? I do want to try to BF but just wondering if I’m not successful, do I have to take my own or do the hosp provide them. Thanks x

Our little boy is 7 months old and has always been brilliant at sleeping however it gets to bedtime now and he refuses to sleep. From 4.5 months he used to have bath at 6.30, then be in his next to me asleep by 7.30 no problem. At 6 months he was bath at 6.30 and asleep in his own room by 7/7.30 The last 2 weeks h...

Anyone else have this? Sometimes it just completely catches me off guard and it’s so painful to walk on. I just struggled to get up the stairs to my baby crying in her cot 🙃

Hi folks. My baby is 5wk 4 days. How often are your babies waking through the night, and are you setting alarms? We tend to find he goes 10-1.30am ish, then wakes again about 4am, then again 6.30 ish. We are still setting alarms 3 hours apart just incase. He is gaining weight and feeding well. Anyone else set alar...

So my 10 week LO only contact naps day and night. We’ve tried different bassinet, swaddle, white noise, rocking, dark room.. literally every single thing you can name but absolutely refuses to be put down! 😫 It’s so bad that we contact nap during naps and thought the night, soon as you put him down… the eyes are…

Hey y’all. My daughter turns 5 months in a couple days. She’s teething and loves putting her hands in her mouth. But sometimes she gags herself. Especially when she’s tired - I think she’s more forceful with chewing on her hands when she’s tired. Anyway, she sometimes gags herself and today she actually vomited poor...
