So I’m posting anonymously because I’m embarrassed. I didn’t see anything wrong with using WD-40 to clean off the sticky substance off my 7 months olds bath so I was sharing it with a friend and she advised me that that product is too toxic. My intention was to use product to get rid of the sticky substance , to p...

How do I know if the teat flow is too fast or slow? He doesnt choke but milk comes out on the side of his mouth

Hi! My baby is in the infant carseat I got with the Britax Romer Strider M travel system. He is 6 months old now and is still under the weight limit for the car seat (13kg), but he has long legs & his legs are going up the seat so I think he needs a bigger car seat ? The only problem I’ve got is I don’t drive but am...

Anyone have big boobs and find that they leak through their breastpads at night, any recommendations for breastpads apart from Lansinoh ??

My 14 month old is having 2 naps and atm goes for a longer am but then has to be a shorter pm because otherwise it affects bedtime. If I wake him from the morning one he is SO grumpy. Not sure how best to go about it? How do you work on 2 naps?

Hey ladies! My little one is outgrowing the babybjorn mini carrier and to be fair it’s killing my back carrying him in it now! Some carrier recommendations please which are comfortable and easy to use. Thank you 😊

Does anyone else’s little one bang their head? My boy is 14 months and started purposefully banging his head when he turned 1. It was mild at first and seemed to be his way of communicating he was unhappy (usually did it when I put him down or dropped him off at nursery). We put it down as a toddler tantrum and did ...

Oh my God the bliming dummy!!😩 Has anyone else’s little one just not taken to it?! My little one is such a hungry baby, for her it’s almost like if there isn’t any milk coming out of it then she just isn’t taking it!🥴 But also I don’t think she has quite got the concept of what to do with it, if I try and give it…

I have a 3 yr old as well as a 4 week old. Obviously my 4 week old needs all the cuddles right now, my 3 year old understandably wants mummy to play with her & do things with her which I miss doing with her too. Are baby wraps and carriers worth it? I tried it with my baby and she was fussy but do I just keep persev...

Is anyone else experiencing this? I get that he’s inquisitive but the ‘why’s’ and the ‘what happens if’ are driving me up the wall. It’s making me feel overstimulated 24/7!

I accidentally ordered the 3.5 love to dream swaddle instead of the 2.5 one, will I still be able to use this? If so, what would i dress baby in underneath? My room can get to around 15 degrees at the lowest

So I was telling my husband during the TWW I prefer if we had activities like visiting Christmas markets etc so it can distract me from thinking about the TWW and time passing slowly, however he said maybe resting is better. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts on this? I read right after the transfer one can eve...

So my little one is almost 6 months old (🥹) I am planning on beginning the transition from her next to me into her own bed in her own room. We have for the past month or so done nap times in her cot in her room to begin the process (unless of course we are out and about). I am just wondering if there’s any tips…

Do you find that moms are actually truthful about how they’re doing/how their babies are doing? I feel like I’m always honest and open about how challenging motherhood and newborn life can be particularly with sleep, but the responses I get are apparently everyone else’s baby is sleeping through the night and they’r...

My LO is 10.5 months old and in the last 2 weeks her sleeping routines completely gone out the window. She doesn’t sleep at night until earliest 11pm sometimes we’re awake until 2am trying to get her to sleep. She’s BF and we co sleep, she wants to be BF all through the night and wakes up if I take her off, which ke...

I’ve read everywhere that I need to offer a bottle first and then solids. The issue is that my LB still feeds to sleep (we’re working on changing it slowly) so he doesn’t want a bottle when he wakes up. He will only drink maybe half the bottle and then I have to give him the other half at his nap time. I’ve tried ...

Anyone else’s 9m got really solid poos that it seems like are hurting them to pass? They look like bricks and he cried when he does it. Isn’t drinking barely any milk these days either so that isn’t helping!

Not sure if it’s just because of teething and it will pass but we have never had sleep issues like this so I’m a bit shocked ☹️ any advice or anyone experiencing the same?

When did your little ones stop having night feeds? My little girl is 5 months old and is still having 2-3 feeds a night! She was born on the 2nd centile, weighing 4lb 12 and now only weighs 12lb… does this have anything to do with it? I’m one tired mama😩🤣 Pic of my cutie for attention🤣🤣

My boy just turned 9 months on the 14th and his sleep has been horrible for probably over a month now. Waking up every 2 hours all night. I feel like I’m going insane idk how much longer I can take. I dream about the day when he finally sleeps through the night, he’s only done it like 3 times since he was born 😭
