Can anyone recommend any scratch mitts that actually stay on?!? Feel like we have loads of cute outfits for my little girl but she just wears sleepsuits with built in mitts because I can’t be bothered with the hassle of putting scratch mitts back on that come off every 0.2 seconds 🤣

So my daughter today has just been vomiting so much but it’s just clear liquid but stinks of sick is this normal. She’s been on her milk now fully since Thursday.

Mine would defiantly be the lack of sleep my little girls 1 month old but my boys are 9&7 and I forgot how much I took being able to sleep in, in the mornings for granted, this broken sleep has not been missed 😅🤣

I’m full of anxiety 🙃 don’t think my hormones help today. But I’m worrying for no reason. I’ve got 5 kids! I should know the answer to this. My baby 3 days old literally sleeps all day! I wake her up to feed and change etc. but she’s straight back off to sleep. She is awake a lot in the evening though. Am I being…

Has anyone introduced a duvet at night or know what age that it’s recommended? I’ve had a look online and I can only find advice saying after 1. My daughter uses a duvet for naps and we are considering trying it out for nights as well

Anyone else the same? She literally screams red in the face when I put her down to nap. She’s normally a great napper and doesn’t need contact naps usually. Presuming linked to this leap/regression? It’s draining to say the least! Hate hearing her scream like that (she’s been a very easy going baby up until now)

Do you dry sterilised bottles? Really confused because the self-sterilising bottles say to leave them in tact to keep sterilised so would I put the milk in straight away or dry them first? Wouldn’t it be bad for tap water to be in the bottle? But drying would make it no longer sterile? So confused and trying to give...

In an effort to make a not so great latch better I’ve made it worse. Baby is 3 weeks and tried flipple technique and sandwich the breast tissue to get more in the mouth but now I’m ending up sore and lipstick shaped nipples. Can’t even remember what i was doing before this to just go back. This is the second baby I’...

Hey what are you mummy’s doing about space?? We sleep on a double bed and baby sleeps in the next to me. He’s almost one years old and I know it’s not safe but there’s no space for a cot!! What am I to do? What are you all doing

Is anyone’s kid is still not talking. He never addressed me as mama Never stays still to teach anything We try everyday to repeat words

Anyone else’s toddler just a complete terror right now 😩 Nap times are just horrific no matter how much I try he just ends up crying so much I give up and I haven’t been giving him his nap recently and just putting him to bed earlier which is 6:30 so he’s not overtired but makes no difference cos he’s waking up…

suggestions for what i can use for piles and stitches? one week postpartum. it hurts when i sit on my bum, walk, lie down, use the toilet, i feel itchy & irritated. if you suffered with the same - what did you use to help? im currently using anusol for piles which isn’t helping massively, & i ordered spritz for bits...

Nalas baby or aveeno ? I’m thinking about getting aveeno and pretty set on it but which one is actually better ? It’s so hard to decide

Which one is the best???

So me and my husband haven’t really had much sex or intimacy since we had our little boy, I think it’s mainly because I just don’t feel up to it, it does hurt when we have sex but I just feel like I’m ugly im not happy in my own skin. Does anybody else feel this way?

Hi everyone, Sorry if this is TMI, I gave birth vaginally 3 weeks ago, I ended up having to have an episiotomy, which seems to have healed well from what I can see and feel. However I sometimes feel I smell down below, idk if this is normal following birth or an episiotomy, I am still bleeding slightly so don’t ...

Hi I have a 4 year old and since he was two has showed some autistic traits. Since it didn't seem to be a problem I didn't question any professionals on it. Some of the behaviours include very specific unusual fascinations/obsessions. When we go to this specific place that he is fascinated by he will over share info...

For those that already have babies or even if it’s your first time.. what brand nappies are you going for? I’ve heard some pampers really aren’t the best but I have no clue 🤷🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got this done while breastfeeding?

Im on lexapro to help manage it. But when I have to be up at 4 to 6am everyday because she won’t go back to sleep once she’s up? I can’t take it right away. And typically by the time I remember it’s too late to take it and be able to get to sleep since she’s down by 5 to 7pm and I’m exhausted lol. And I know I could...
