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...

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!

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!

Does anyone’s baby still not self settle? My boy is 8 months old and we cosleep. He started waking every 30mins to an hour at night . I presume he can’t link his sleep cycles. I’m not sure if this is a phase or if this is him now… I can’t really cope like this … but also I can’t do any form of crying it out as it ...

Anyone’s baby more fussy when out of the house? We’ve been to lots of parties seeing as it’s Christmas and she seems to struggle with all the stimulation! Anyone else? Any tips?

I own a Peugeot 308 Year 2013. I’ve just bought a Joie iBold car seat which requires I tether to an anchor point in the boot. My manual says it is on the floor but I have searched and searched and cannot find it anywhere. I’ve even lifted the boot floor out. It’s driving me mad. Does anyone own a 2013 308 and know w...

Baby is now 3 months and has started being quite fussy on the boob. Also seems to be feeding for much shorter times. Don’t know if it’s my supply or a developmental thing. I’m combi feeding so hard to monitor if she’s getting enough. Have also noticed my boobs feel much softer. Anyone else experiencing similar?

Should u be concerned if I sometimes hallucinate a bit at night? It hasn’t happened in a couple weeks but some nights I wake up and think I see my baby laying next to me and I get so confused because she sleeps in her crib but it goes away after like 30 seconds or I’ll even think I see my partner next to me and he w...

Would a cot bed frame hold me if I was to get in there with my son? I’m unable to go into mine and partners bed as he is really ill atm so sleeping on sofa or the floor of my boys room. If I was to get into his cot, would it hold me? I don’t want it breaking but he likes me as his comfort.
