I’ve started pumping during the mornings and I’m wanting to store some milk in the freezer if I can. How are people storing it in the freezer? I only have a tiny freezer so worried about storage👀

Baby girl is 18 months in 6 days. Had a few rough weeks where she wakes in the night. Some days she cries that I bring her in to bed but recently has been falling asleep. Getting 4am wakeups aswell. Any suggestions on what to do or could this all be part of the 18 month regression Thanks

Sleep

I can’t remember how I got my daughter to sleep through the night it was 5 years ago😂, but how do you stretch your baby out for longer in the night, he has his bottle at 6:45 and is down by 7 but he has started to wake up around 1 and is up near enough every hour to two hours and this has started for a couple weeks…

Dummy weaning 😣

Firstly - I’m kicking myself for keeping it this long….secondly, any mummies out there recently weaned their toddler off the dummy? My son only had it until 6 months, so this is totally new territory for me! My daughter only has it for nap and night time, but she LOVES it (gets super excited to go to bed so she can ...

4 month old sleeping on her side

Hey, I have a 4 month old who has just learnt to roll from back to tummy but can’t yet roll from tummy to back … since she’s learnt this she is sleeping on her side at night and I’m really worried she’ll go too far and not be able to breathe - also says online it can increase the risk of Sids… I try to move her back...

Help! 15 month sleep.

My 15 month old has never been a great sleeper, since the 4 month regression. Typically a night would look like this. Lots of waking and will only really settle if she then feeds. She was EBF until solids and refuses any formula, cows milk or a dummy/soother. Can anyone suggest how to help her sleep better/ point ...

Dummy & Sleep

Since accepting a dummy a few weeks back my girls sleep is so bad. She’s waking every 20-30 minutes wanting the dummy and messing on. I find myself in this cycle between 1-5am, I give up at 5am and put her in bed with me where she’ll sleep content. I’m actually demented and massively sleep deprived 😭😭 any tips or…

Clock change-will it help?!

For anyone has been through it-my baby won’t sleep past about 5.20am. Did you find the clock change helped even for a while? I’m hoping 5.20 might become 6.20 lol

How many dirty nappies does a 6 week old have per day?

My eldest pretty much had maybe 1 a day however it’s not even 6am and I’ve already had 3 dirty nappies… the last week or so it feels like she’s being changed hourly but I’ve been told it’s normal at this stage by a GP so just wondered if I just have a pooey baby.

S T R E S S E D

I'm stressed to the MAX right now. My baby's formula is running out, and I went to the clinic to ask for a sample can, but they said they don't have any because breastfeeding is their priority.. Our churches only give out food, not supplies. Any advice? Please, no judgment

Stopping breastfeeding

I have decided to switch my LO to formula because I'm going back to work. He is turning 5 months this week and I thought it would be easier to start switching to formula. I’m wondering how it works. Because I will definitely deal with engorgement. So when he doesn't take the breast and it is engorged, do I have to p...

Does anyone else get nauseous when. The nurse or pump

I’ve experienced this with my first child and now again with my newborn. I had no idea why or knew anyone else that experienced this but I finally found information on it.
