Am I doing this wrong?

My baby boy is 6.5 months (coming up). We’re having one “meal” a day in the evening. BF all other times of the day maybe an occasional snack. His naps are like 30 minutes in the day we’re getting about three of those. A little longer if im out in the car or carrier/chair or a fluke nap. At night we aim to shower...

Reflux issues

How much is normal for baby to sick up after a feed? I breastfeed but also express and feed through a bottle and my baby is sick after both, often multiple times over a period of up to an hour. Sometimes it looks like the whole amount comes back up again. Wondering if anyone has any advice? It doesn’t really upset ...

Toddler craziness

I hate to even say this but is anyone else’s toddler driving them crazy? It’s cold and yucky outside so that’s not helping, but I feel like we have been in this phase where she is just constantly fighting me. Not really looking for answers just coming to vent and see if anyone is in a similar situation 🤪😑

Emsella chair anyone?

Hi everyone. A black Friday deal has come up for 6 sessions on an Emsella chair for £300. I haven't yet been diagnosed so not sure which type of prolapse I have yet. I feel it's more likely a uterine than a cystocele as I don't have urinary incontinence. It's often advertised as helping urinary incontinence and I ha...

Body hair during child birth!

Well I know this is going to be controversial but want to hear people’s views and experiences. I’m not one who maintains my body hair very well, but I do feel so much better and “cleaner” in myself after I’ve shaved my legs, underarms and pubic hair. I’m wondering if there are certain expectations for when you give ...

Toddler acting out

I'm sure I'm not alone here, but it would feel good to confirm. 😅 My daughter has been so challenging lately. She can't hear "no, because..." and she starts to meltdown. I've always been super calm and patient, but it's overwhelming to have someone crying behind you all day. It's what she wants or a meltdown, I…

3.5 tog

Anyone using a 3.5 tog? My boy runs cold and he’s been in vest; sleepsuit and 2.5 tog for a while now and he’s waking a lot in the night cold. He’s woken 6 times since I put him done at 7.30 and I’ve checked his chest and it’s cold? The thermometer says it’s 20 in our room but it’s got to be crap because I’m under a...

Projectile Vomiting

Is anybody's little one experiencing projectile vomiting multiple times a day especially after coughing? I took my little boy to the doctors and they've put it down to a viral infection. It's just so horrible seeing him vomit out all his feeds and I'm so worried about him losing weight 😢 Other than that he's still…

Milestones

Has your baby said any words yet? I'm not comparing, I know they still have plenty of time. I'm just curious. My daughter is still babbling and we think she's trying to say kitty, but no dada or mama yet unless it's by accident, so, she's saying it but not intentionally.
