Hi! FTM here. I’m looking for thoughts on more expensive v more affordable diapers. Anyone feel like the more expensive ones are worth the price tag? What’s your experience been?

I’ve just realised I didn’t get my child benefit payment for this month (Jan). Did this happen to anyone else? Have had no issues previously.

Hello Mamas, I have been exclusively breastfeeding for 4 months. My supply has been going down. I pumped 2 oz. total today. My baby is drinking 5oz. I start work in February and have no supply frozen for childcare. I’m going to start formula feeding. I feel so guilty though. Does anyone else feel guilty for stoppin...

I’m ebf and my lo had been so fussy today- she’s going for the nipple but then pulling away and not taking a deep latch. At the same time she’s kicking her legs, raising her arm and being vocal - has anyone else had this? I’m not sure what she’s trying to tell me! She’s 4 weeks old.

Really need some words of support / encouragement right now. My little girl has literally been feeding all day. She’s been awake since 6pm wanting feeding constantly this evening, I’ve just finally put her down as she fell asleep on the boob, for her to wake up after 20 mins wanting more milk. I don’t know how mu...

My baby is 3 months old. No matter how hard we try, she never sleeps between 8 pm to 1 am and wants to be constantly entertained. Sometimes she cries until I feed her again within an hour of feeding her which in turn makes her spit up and takes even longer for her to settle down. Any suggestions as to how I can get ...

I’m so fucking depressed just so over it like I’m not me anymore idk who I am being called ugly everyday by someone who’s supposed to love u then for them to say that they only say it to make you mad bc they know how u feel already . I haven’t had my nails done or hair done since my kid was 2 months he’s 2 now and I...

Has anyone else’s baby ever sat up in their sleep? My little girls done it twice tonight and I find it so freaky 🤣 I fear I’m in it for the long run of lying her back down

So after being already fed etc , my baby was asleep then out of nowhere screamed like she was being eaten alive , so I tried seeing if she maybe wanted more milk even though I knew it was more than that as she litrealky screamed in pain and then I thought she gotta be constipated , checked and there was like yellow ...

Our 13 week old has suddenly started screaming when she is put down at bedtime, no matter how deep a sleep she appears to be in. She will not sleep in her crib. Please tell me we are not alone. We are so sleep deprived.

Has anyone here used Conceive Plus (the lube)? Did you conceive and carry to term? I got it cause of so many positive reviews and used it this afternoon for the first time and just got my peak a couple hours ago, so chances are high. Idk why i decided to google the reviews again and came across quite a few saying th...

Hey Mamas, does anyone have tips on relactation? I had to stop breastfeeding my baby for 2 weeks because my niples were very sore and bleeding but now my baby doesnt want to go back to it

Just curious if anyone was able to get a referral to see a speech specialist even though your child does know a few words? My son knows a handful of words but we still sometimes struggle with communication which leads to tantrums. I’m wondering if we should see a speech specialist to see if there will be improvemen...

I feel like my little one is constantly asleep. She wakes for feeds and is filling nappies but she sleeps soooo much! Is this normal, am I blessed 🤣

I’ve got really painful breast when I press the breast and really raised veins and little lumps around the veins and after I pump it feels like a burning sensation has anyone had this and knows what it could be?

10 weeks old and just screams from 8-12 every night 😩 anyone else? Nothing I do can console him, essentially just have to wait until he wears himself out. It’s sooo hard. The constant screaming literally makes me feel dead inside 💀 exhausted! Does this stage just pass at some point? I just don’t know what to…

Does anyone know what this noise is? I took her to the drs a while back for a blocked nose and the last couple of days she is randomly doing this it’s got me worried?

Does your little one wear mittens/cover their hands when sleeping at night? When can a baby sleep with their hands out?

Obviously it’s a good way off but me and my partner have been discussing it lately. I have a stepchild and they have an iPad and are obsessed with it. When pregnant we agreed we weren’t going to have another iPad kid in the house and now my partner is making comments about when the baby gets an iPad they can play to...

How much did you have in the freezer by the time your lo went into daycare?
