My LO is still having 4 a day, he only naps for 30-40 minutes max. And his last nap is around 5.30ish. He goes to bed at 8.30-9pm and wakes around 6-7am. We tried to drop a nap but this resulted in an early bedtime and an early wake (5-6am) which just doesn’t work for us. We saw the health visitor the other day who ...

can someone please tell me how to manage baby's sleep when the clocks go forward so her wake-up and bedtimes don't go completely haywire?? i can't get my head around it 😭😂or are people just going with the flow when it happens?

My baby is turning 7 months tomorrow and is still on 4 naps a day. A few weeks ago, we had transitioned to 3 naps, but recently he’s been waking up very early (between 6:00 and 6:45 AM), happy and active. Because of this, I’ve had to reintroduce a fourth nap to make it to bedtime. Bedtime varies between 7:00-8:00 P...

My MIL is keen to get a car seat for when she’s looking after our little one in the future - she’s got her eyes set on a Doona (mainly because she thinks it’s an interesting concept…) but I’m a bit wary based on various things I’ve seen and read. I believe they also don’t last particularly long? He’s currently comi...

Not sure if this is a stupid question Been weaning our 7 month old for a little while now and she’s been eating absolutely fine and drinking water. She used to drink 210ml bottles (7oz) between solids however she now won’t even finish her 180ml (6oz) bottles. When weaning do you lower the formula consumption ...

PLZ IS ANYONE ELSES LO STILL WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT CRYING?!?! Like at first it was for milk but we stopped giving milk at night and just gave her water. We had a solid routine and she STILL WAKES UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Idk what to do. I’m exhausted from waking up when she cries & then waking u...

My baby girl just turned 7 months and I really don’t know what to do so she will learn how to put herself to sleep. I don’t wanna do sleep training, any Cry it Out method or any method that requires the parent to let the baby stress and cry hard. She falls asleep either via nursing/ rocking in arms or rocking in ba...

Anyone had nursery mention a sensory report to see what could be causing some speech delay whilst at nursery?

I’m super guilty, my 5 month old daughter fell off the bed onto her back.. she seems okay and settled down quickly after the fall. Has this happened to anyone else?

So we have a stomach bug making its way through the house atm and I’ve recently got over it but my 2 year old seems to have it the worst.. would giving her some of my breastmilk help her fight the bug? She’s been unwell constantly for the last few months so she’s struggling.. sorry if this is strange to ask

My baby can now roll back to front, but can’t get back on his back once he’s on his front. In the night I sometimes find him lying on his front, asleep with his face down and it scares me so I roll him back onto his back but this wakes him up! What shall I do?

I have a vauxhall corsa sxi. It's a 3-door with not the biggest boot. We have a 2 year old and are due baby 2 in August. We don't really have the money, but could mayyybe scrap it up from somewhere or with help. Would we be able to cope with this car, or do we need another? Please comment any cars that are cheap to ...

Hi mummas! What monitors are we buying? Im reading all the reviews and cannot seem to find one that has just positive reviews 🙈 TIA xx

My baby has a tongue tie and it’s led to some pretty bad nipple trauma. I am using the lansinoh gel but wondered if anyone had found any other products useful? There seems to be so many different options on the market but I don’t know which products are worth buying.

Is anyone else's baby really unhappy with being changed now? My little boy just screams the whole time and tries twisting away so he can crawl. I've tried singing, tv on etc, any other advice ? It just makes both of us feel ribbish at minute!

Baby is nearly 9 months, used to sleep through the night and since 8 months has been waking up multiple times through the night🥲 Dropped from 3 naps to 2, extended wake windows slightly as she was already staying up 3 hours, she can self settle but doesn’t seem to at night anymore. Any advice!?

I am exclusively breastfeeding but have given my daughter the odd bottle of expressed milk so I can leave her if needed but noticed a difference in her latch. I wanted to try the lansinoh test but wasn’t sure what flow she should have? She’s 11 weeks old. How do you know if they need a faster flow??

My partner said to her that she's bound to want me and him, but she's saying it's unhealthy and not normal to want us all the time? She cries every time she's near her and wants to come back to me
