3 year age gap and buggy?

I will basically have exactly a 3 year age gap and I’m unsure if I’ll need a double buggy. My little boy will be at nursery half the day but at the moment he does still rely on his buggy. We bought an expensive pram for him that I am reusing so don’t really want to fork out on another. Did anyone else get a double f...

What is happening?!

Losing my mind trying to figure out what’s going on. Baby has suddenly started waking at 5am. He’d also started fighting naps etc so switched to one nap a few days ago but he’s still waking at 5! He also seems to desperately want his morning bottle as soon as he wakes up so is he waking early because he’s hungry?? H...

Pillows

When can a baby have a pillow? My daughter’s 14 months and every time she lays down she tries to lay herself to where she’s elevated. Shes also obsessed with playing with them. She still sleeps in her crib right next to me and my fiancé but I’m scared she’ll hurt herself

Confessions of an anxious momma

Omg. Sometimes I can barely stand the noises my infant makes at night. Is she awake, is she asleep, does she need me, is this normal, did I burp her enough. It's never ending. Anyone else?

Baby wakes at 5am

Baby consistently wakes up at 5AM. Even if we move final feed time he still gets up at 5AM. Any tips on changing his internal body clock to push it to 6AM?

I dunno if I should trigger warning this cuz it's gross of course. But my youngest, fattest cat binge and purges at least once a day. Just eats so much he immediately hurls. And since it's just slightly warm, undigested food... I let the dogs eat it cuz whatever. Less for me to clean up. My husband is absolutely dis...

15 month regression

How long does this delightful waking up 100000 times a night lasted for you all? The only thing that puts him back to sleep is a bottle and I’m worried he’s going to start getting used to night feeding again

Hi, Currently exclusively pumping and wondering if anyone is offering their little ones 6 oz/180ml bottles of breastmilk. The lactation consultant and the tongue tie specialist we worked with both said that babies shouldn’t ever need more than 5oz bottles of breastmilk in one go. My little one finish’s 150 every s...

Terrible twos

Toddler moms how are we doing?! I’m barely surviving around here with my almost 2 year old lol. Mine has been super cranky, throwing tantrums for every little thing and sooo picky with food it feels like she’s surviving on air and Mac and cheese. And it’s been so hard getting her to nap. We went to the park today an...

Baby self-soothing

I have been rocking my 8 week old baby to sleep for daytime naps. Everything I read says to put baby down drowsy but if I do that in the daytime he is wide awake immediately, and often upset. Am I missing something? Any suggestions on how to do this better? I’m worried he’ll get use to being rocked to sleep, but...

Hate baths!

My 6 month old has been fussy hating her bath for like a month now I can tried everything. Toys, cooler water, warmer water, different bathtubs, bubbles, no bubbles. This kid just hates baths when she absolutely use to love them. Anyone else? I’ve even tried earlier in the day when she’s more awake.
