Baby biting my nipple with teeth 😭

Hey, has anyone else experienced this and what do you do?! Baby girl has her front teeth and she’s biting down on my nipple randomly sometimes whilst feeding it’s awful. I EBF but it’s making me feel like I won’t be able to continue breastfeeding as I’m scared she will wound me and then I’ll struggle to feed her o...

Issues with bedtime expressed bottle for breastfed baby

Our normal routine is for my husband to give baby a bedtime bottle of expressed breastmilk. This was initially to give me a break when breastfeeding was hard, but now we keep it so she's used to a bottle when I start to spend some time away from her (like for an evening out). Recently she's been absolutely screami...

Mental health

A couple months ago I begged my husband for help. I talked about being sent away to get my head right. I don’t live near my family and the only option was if his parents could watch our kids (his mom doesn’t work and his dad is always away for work) so I thought maybe it could work. Well nothing has happened from th...

Rent a compact stroller

Hi everyone, we are going on a holiday with a 12 month old next month and was wondering if we could rent a light weight cabin friendly stroller anywhere online/in Glasgow? Does anyone know of such a service? We have a really sturdy stroller but it's quite heavy and doesn't fold to fit in the cabin so I'm looking at ...

Does your baby also hate the outdoors?

My 3 month old screams bloody murder when we go outside regardless of how we do it - stroller vs carrier vs just being held carrier free. 😭

Nipple Pain

Anyone have any suggestions for nipple pain with BF? My left nipple has been hurting so bad every time baby feeds. I wear the silver nipple shields, but it hasn’t helped much. If I need to see a doctor, I’m not sure if I should go to my primary care provider, or my OB? Any mamas have any suggestions for me?🙏🏼

Next car seat

I need to pick a new car seat asap as little one is at max capacity now. Does anyone have the Joie I-spin 360, is it any good? When it’s rear facing is it still reclined like the newborn car seats? Feel like my baby is done with being reclined. Also, I don’t get the difference between this one and I-pivot??

Baby monitor

Has anyone whose baby sleeps in their own room stopped using/doesn’t use a monitor? I use one as I’m always worried about not hearing him cry, but I’m such a light sleeper and I’m constantly waking up to any sound he makes. My husband thinks we’ll hear him if he needs us. I sleep with a fan on in the room too, so wo...

Vaccinations

I’d like honest opinions on vaccinations for babies - for and against. I’m not pro or anti vax, as my baby had his 8 week jabs but due to having a horrible reaction and ending up in hospital I’m now not wanting to continue with the rest. I’ve done research but wanted to know peoples opinions and if you vaccinated y...

9 Month Old Constipated

Do any moms know what I can give my son for constipation? It’s to the point where he is crying and grunting 😩and he went to the doctor for it, but the drops he’s been taking (Mommy’s Bliss Constipation Drops and Mommy’s Bliss Probiotic Drops) aren’t helping at all. I’ve tried Apple juice, pear juice, and prune baby…
