What does bedtime look like for your 2 year old? Our little one is just turning 2 and over night, has suddenly decided they won’t put themselves to sleep at night. Bedtime is now a 45 min/1 hour battle and with baby number 2 on the way, I could do without this. Any tips? I’m going back to sleep training but he’s no...

Shocked to see Dr. Browns in the list :/

How long is everyone's 14 week baby (EBF) nursing for on average?

Our DD has hated napping since she was 6 months and it’s been a constant struggle. We used to be able to get her down eventually but now she just scream cries in her crib until we let her out. Then one some random days, she will nap for 3 hours no problem. We always wait until she shows tired cues, she’s kept busy...

Does anyone else have a swaddled baby that constantly knocks their dummy out to the point they are having to put it back in 1000s of times a night 😩 ??!! Any tips on how to deal with this, even if it’s getting rid of the dummy? I honestly got more sleep when she was a newborn I’m exhausted 🥲

My partner is ready to start helping with feedings but I’m exclusively breastfeeding now. Baby is 9 days old. When should I start pumping? I have a lot of milk already coming in. Also when breastfeeding, baby keeps choking on milk because it is coming down really fast. Any tips??

Hi ladies, i know every baby is different but how many ounces were your little ones on at 7 weeks old? My little boy is on 5 ounces every 3ish hours, was in hospital with him yesterday and the doctor told me im feeding him to much and to do 3 ounces every 2 hours. Now im overthinking whether i am over feeding him

My daughter seems to be really ratty in the evening and I think she just doesn’t have enough sleep in the day. Do you track your babies naps or have set times to put them down? She will be 9 weeks old on Monday.

My boy is due his weaning soon. I am confused among lots of options in high chair expensive and cheap ones. Do they all does the same job? What you all are using? xx

I know there have been lots of posts about this but we're really struggling with awful sleep. Baby used to nap fine and go down in the cot for bed, now he refuses the cot completely. The only way to get him to nap is to take him out in the pram and every bedtime is a long process of getting him sleepy enough that he...

My 9 day old baby boy is really struggling to get wind up after most feeds. He is formula fed and is currently on 3oz aptamil every 3-4 hours. We are trying all the different burping techniques/positions but it can still take ages for anything to come out. Is there anything I can give him at home to help with this?...

Me and my partner has taken the dummy off our 5 month old, he’s gone over a week now very happily without it but when he did have it he slept all through the night but since taking it off him he’s now waking up for a bottle instead. Does anyone have any tips on what we can do to stop him from waking? Tia

I am STRUGGLING to get my girl to drink milk or water. She has still been having wet diapers but they aren’t as full as they were when she was on formula still. I have been letting her drink out of my Stanley bc she’s interested in that more than her sippy cups but then she lets half of it spill out of her mouth. Sh...

My LO is 6 weeks old and I’m looking to combi feed - how do you start doing this? What are the best times to introduce formula feeding? I plan to express when bottling to keep supply up is this the right approach? Any tips welcome! Thanks FTM

I’ve got a travel system bugaboo Fox 5 for my everyday use, I’m looking for a stroller for nursery for my 1 year old son, he’s on the higher centile.something that can be left at nursery, any recommendations please? TIA

My lo has been fighting her naps for the past couple of days. She’s about to be 16 months old and I have no idea if it could be that she’s teething or if she’s just not tired enough to fall asleep. Like, she’s obviously tired and cranky. But as soon as we put her in bed, she all of a sudden has all this energy. Am ...

I’d have to write a book to describe all the crap I’ve been though since I met him but it’s just not worth writing about I feel so lonely and unheard and neglected it’s sad He literally puts me down about everything and I’m always made out to be a monster He never wants to meet me halfway for anything it’s either...

My baby is ebf and is gaining weight well. He's on the 75th centile. Eventhough he's almost 5 months he wakes very frequently at night for feeds. Between 10pm-8am he has around 4 feeds. I'm considering giving him formula at 10pm, will it help reduce the night feeds? Not entirely sure he's hungry at night because he...

Is anyone else having major issues cutting their toddlers nails ? My little girl will just about let me do her fingernails without much commotion but her toe nails are a no go. She screams. Thrashes about. Gets soooo worked up im at a loss with what to do

I really want to breastfeed but the price of breast pumps goes through me !!
