Does anyone else start to cry when they start expressing themselves during a deep conversation with their SO?

I’m so annoyed at myself 🙄 I can never get my point accords fully cause I start crying. I’m such a big baby, but it’s like I literally can’t help it, the tears just fall and I lose my train of thought so it makes it hard to have those important conversations without me getting emotional, in turn I feel like the…

cups

Has anyone tried giving their LO milk from a sippy cup or another container other than a bottle? My baby is EBF and will not take a bottle. I’ve tried loads of different types and teets and I’m at my wits end. It’s really starting to affect me mentally and I’m struggling. I love BF my first but he would also take ...

5 month old constipated

It is now day 4 that my 5 mth old boy has not pooped. He is exclusively breastfed and we have not started solids yet. He typically goes every other day and poops a lot when he goes.

Noise around babies when sleeping

My LO is 10 months old, because I have my own place, my LO has always slept in a very quiet environment (white noise or some kind of lullaby is always on in the background) and I’ve always kept it that way as I was worried of waking the baby up. But, now have to come to realise that, that’s probably not the best app...

Anyone's baby on 8oz??

My baby is currently on 7oz and has been for a little while. This seems like a lot to me but I've followed their direction. The last dew days they keep crying after every feed indicating they want more. Surely 8oz is way too much at this age?
