I just went for my baby's 2 month well check and my pediatrician said she was already showing early signs of crawling. (scooting herself forward with her legs and pushing off of things). She said she wouldn't be surprised if she was crawling by the time she's 4 months. I told my MIL this and she said absolutely no w...

So exhausted from cluster feeding. 25 day old baby is on the breast every hour in the day and most of the night continuously. Eventually settles down around 4am to 9am. So tempted to start combi feeding! Please tell me this will get better? How long is this going to last for? Is this defo cluster feeding - the sympt...

At what age were your babies sleeping in their own room?

My LO has always gone into his cot awake and fallen asleep independently or with a little help of a little pat on the bum, he then has woken multiple times in a night. However recently the only way I can get him to sleep is to now cuddle and rock him to sleep. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this just a phase?

Any recommendations for hands free pumps? Also is it best to buy a single or double and when is the best time to pump as I don’t want to create an oversupply. My new born is almost 4 weeks and I’ll start pumping next week

This is specifically for those mamas that faced postpartum stuggles, such as depression and anxiety. And to those mamas that don’t have a lot of help. I have a wonderful son. He’s absolutely everything to me and I adore his smarts, his curiosity, his love for learning, his personality, his cute gestures and of c...

For those Mums that still give there little ones milk before bed, which bottles are you using? Thanks

Hi! What's everyone's routine with their little ones? (6.5 months ) Im struggling to figure out when to give actual food around milk feeds and naps. Also how do you go about giving actual food if you're busy in the days or miss the window? Any help would be much appreciated to see how your day goes with your babies...

I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant and my right boob burns and hurts like it did if I waiting too long between pump sessions with my last baby. I don’t know what to do any I no longer have any pumps bc I wasn’t supposed to be able ...

Hi we have a day to day pram and a travel pram. I’ve whittled it down to a couple of options for compatible car seats with both prams. My question is if we go for cybex or maxi cosi car seat and base, does that mean any future car seats would also need to be cybex or maxi cosi too? Otherwise we’d need to purchase ...

What do you have your babies in during the day while you do chores? My baby is not sitting up yet. I feel he's too old for the rocking chair but too young for the IKEA high chair. Thanks!

I think we’re going to try couples therapy in the new year. I’m starting to think we actually might break up. It’s just so hard.

Little one is 3 months old and I have recently debated quitting breastfeeding but I feel SOO guilty!!! He truly doesn't do the best with 100% formula bottles as he will spit up way more. He does well with BFing, latch is great, our biggest issue is that I just don't produce enough (20 oz but he eats 32 oz) so we sup...

These past few days my 7 week old has started rubbing her face on me when I’m holding her. She keeps doing it and I don’t know why. Has anyone else seen there baby do this, over and over? Do you know what it might mean? She does it awake and sleeping, and on a full tummy. 🤷‍♀️

My little girl all of a sudden is just being an absolute nightmare especially at dinner times. We can't take her to any restaurant's or any family members houses as it's so embarrassing with how much she has a meltdown🙃 We have a nearly 2 month old baby so not sure if this has affected how she behaves. But she will…

Hi! I’m new to the group, about a year ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. I have an aunt who has it, so my risk of getting it is higher. I wanted to gather a second opinion but since I recently had a baby my PCP suggested waiting about 8 months postpartum before getting blood work done. I’m 6 months postpartum. But rece...

I want to start officially combi feeding, my baby used to reject bottles but recently accepts them when I offer every now and again and I want to routinely start with every bed time, is it best to do a bottle in a different room to usual, bath, story etc. then bed? Normally I do bath first. I want to teach my baby...

Unfortunately I have anxiety every time I'm with my husband's family. I am dreading to travel to them. My mother in law doesn't speak English at all. And my dog isn't allowed to be there so she will be stuck in a kennel at the hotel. I'm venting because I can't drink or smoke and that was my way to relax and not ha...

I've literally just put my 12 week old daughter in her first reusable nappy Was wondering, do you HAVE to use a liner as we haven't this time but I will going forward if needed

Does anyone else really want a break from their baby and when they get one spend the whole time worrying about them and if they're okay? I never used to have this but now I'm riddled with anxiety when they're with me and when they're not like I can't win!
