My baby is 2 weeks old today. Every day thus far, she has been an incredibly chilled out baby. Will wake for feeds and nappy changes but then loves nothing more than cuddles and long sleeps. Today, however, nothing will settle her. She’s constantly crying and wriggling around and feeding lots.. then crying again. I...

Hii! My baby is 3 weeks old and hes been struggling to poop. The doctor says he has to learn how to poop but I just feel so bad I can’t help my baby. We’ve tried gripe water gas drops massages foot reflexes. The windi gaspasser but the doctor says he’s gotta learn on his own. I wish I could help him😩 anyone got any…

How’s the babies doing ? Milestones ? They are or about to be 3months. 🥹💖

LO has 20-30 min naps and always has done. That’s fine I’ve accepted it. I thought I will try and transition her from 4 naps to 3 to see if she’d sleep any longer. Nope she didn’t, she slept the same amount and she ended up being super moody, over tired and fussy + crying because wake windows were 3+ hours whereas...

Anyone else’s baby just not follow the conventional wake windows? Sometimes she’s awake an hour, sometimes it’s 3🤷🏼‍♀️ I can’t figure out any sort of routine

Are your babies crawling yet?

Is anyone else’s baby fighting sleep 😅 it’s actually a sport to get him to go to sleep. If the bottle or dummy makes him sleepy he will refuse it 🙃 has anybody got anything that helps? He will fall asleep on a walk but will only sleep for max 30 mins unless he’s on someone - my first was like this and I just went…

My little boy has been hurt on three occasions now by the same child. Scratched, pinched and bitten. Each time drawing blood and causing bruising. The boy doing it has 'additional needs, no verbalisation'. The child has done this to multiple other children too. I can’t help but feel like he should be in another nu...

My 10 month old still wakes up at least twice for a night feed (usually 10pm and 3pm). I have tried reducing the amounts but he screams and screams for more… I wouldn’t have any idea how to get him back off to sleep without a bottle 😭 any tips? I am worried now I’ve read he should really stop bottles at 12 months…

Hey - no judgement at all but are there any mums that have decided not to Vaccinate their baby? And if you would like to share your reasons please do/ if not that’s ok. I have chosen not to Vaccinate but just wondering if there was anyone else?

No food, can’t travel to foodbank bc of my back and anxiety. Yh is is all making me so depressed. Can’t even afford lunches to take to my ag...

Can I have some high chair recommendations my baby is turning 6 months soon thank you

We put the ipad on a little stool about half a meter away from her cot bed. She watches one movie on the lowest brightness and volume 1, and she very rarely makes it to the end of the movie before she’s fallen asleep. I still feel all manners of guilt that I’m being totally lazy and just sticking her in front of a s...

Has anyone else’s child started swearing I was so shocked when my 3 year old turned around today and told me to “fuck off mummy you fat pea “ this is first time he’s said it and now he knows it he keeps saying it and “fat women “

My LO wakes up and feeds every 2.5 - 3 hours, usually takes 1 - 1.5 hours to bottle feed, diaper change and rock her back to sleep. Then I pump for an hour after that, leaving me 1 hour to clean up and nap. Before I know it she’s up again. Is there a better way to do this? I feel like I don’t have enough time to br...

I’ve been advised by the vets that my dog can’t have his kennel cough vaccine yet as we have a 4 week old baby at home. They can’t advise when he can have it as they can’t make that call apparently. Has anyone else been through this? How old was your baby when your dog had the vaccine?

daughter keeps taking her arms out of the car seat straps and refuses to put them back in without an extreme tantrum and someone having to sit in the back of the car to keep her arms in. can anyone recommend something I can buy to stop her from being able to remove her arms from the straps? I have seen you can get...

How often is everyone breastfeeding their 19 month olds? I aim for before naptime and before bedtime and 2/3 times during the night. He sometimes wants some milk when he’s agitated during the day but that’s only sometimes. He’s eating his meals and snacks. Should I be starting to cut the feeds down now?

hi mamas! anyone else have a baby that does not fall asleep independently yet? i feel like there’s a lot of expectation around babies sleeping independently around or before this age (11 months) and my baby does not fall asleep without nursing to sleep or being rocked (unless in the car). i know every baby is diffe...
