little one doing better with eating solids, is trying and eating more, naturally she is dropping milk amounts (she is bottle fed and has mainly breastmilk and a little formula) because of this but she won't really drink much water and we haven't got onto trying cows milk properly, any thoughts or similar experiences?

Mommas help! When are we moving our babies from the infant seat?! He’s still way under the weight limit to move to a big car seat however he is getting too long. The head rest is all the way up already. Also what car seat do we recommend? I looked at the safety first grow and go but then after reading more into the ...

What nappies have you found that last the whole night without baby needing a change?

Hi everyone! Looking at different car seats (it’s a minefield!) looking at either the Ickle Bubba Rotator 360° 0-12 Years or the Joie i-Spin Multiway Car Seat 0-7 years. Has anyone got either of these and if so what’s your opinion on them? Thank you!

Hi. Being told different information from doctors / health visitors / midwife’s which is confusing. Out of interest (for formula fed babies) how much is your baby having per feed / per day at what age? Thanks.

Does anybody have any pushchair recommendations for tall parents? I’m 5”10 and my husband is 6”5 so we want something that’ll work for us! Thanks 🤩

!! Trigger warning !! Depression/anxiety/toxic relationship Hello, I’ve come here to seek positive stories, if there are any. I’m at the end of my second pregnancy. My first baby came after a stressful but well managed period of my life. They’re great. But this pregnancy was made awful to me. Just fights over fight...

First time mom here to an 11 week old preemie. She just got home 4 days ago. Usually I am a very light sleeper to the point I can hear my boyfriend get up to go to the bathroom. I’ve been doing her morning and late night feeds and he helps with a couple during the day. She apparently cried for really hard and I didn...

I’m just wondering what size teat mums who breastfeed and bottle feed use. It seems to be recommended to use the tiny newborn ones but I know my flow is faster than that and she seems to be getting frustrated with how hard it is to get milk from the bottle… she will happily try so that’s not the problem!

Is anyone else’s 12 month suddenly fighting bed time. Screaming for hours, can’t self settle at all but has previously self settled for months! Not sure what’s going on but I’m losing my mind. My little boy is getting around 5 hours sleep at night because of the constant crying! We’ve tried calpol, nurofen, vapour p...

Has anyone found comfy bras to wear with wearable pumps?

Struggling with split nights! When baby boy is at home with us Friday - Monday, we can try to get him to have 2 short naps a day and he sleeps better. However, when he’s in childcare midweek he only has 1 nap. He’ll then treat bedtime as a nap and we have a 3-4 hour wake window in the night 💀 I’ve tried giving him…

Looking for some advice with nap transitions. Is anyone else finding that their babies wake window has suddenly extended and they might be ready for 1 nap a day? How are your little ones finding it? I don’t know whether to consistently push 1 nap a day for my little one or keep it flexible day to day.

My baby is 12months 3 weeks. EBF and I’m in the process of weaning him off night breastfeeding so I can get good rest at night. I’m a single parent working full time. I want to replace his breastfeeding with a bottle whenever he wakes up at night. Want to try if he will take milk in a bottle Does anyone have r...

hey, what has people used for their babies when they’ve got conjunctivitis. i can’t get into our doctors, i didn’t know if i can use the same ointment as my 3 year old?

Is everyone who's little ones at nursery, sending them when they go through leap 8? Our LG turned one and has had a personality change its crazy. So clingy, miserable, sad crying etc she still sleeps, eats but we had weaned her off the dummy now it's the only thing that settles her. I know the Leaps only kast a few...

Anyone coming out the other end of the regression yet? I’m 2 weeks in hoping the end is near 🥴🥴😴

Hello! I haven't bought my pram yet and we don't own a car. I'm planning to use the pram and bassinet to walk around Hither Green/Lewisham, public transport but also to travel abroad frequently. The thing is we don't own a car so I'm hesitant to buy the whole travel system with car seat+Isofix only in the case we'...

My lb is 7months and sleeps an easy 3hrs when he first goes down around 7:30 and self settles for this pretty easy. He always wakes for a bottle around 10:30 - 11 I’m finding after this it’s so hard to get him to settle back in his cot! Just wakes constantly.. sometimes just after 10mins - maximum 1 hour and won’...

I’m really struggling to sleep at the moment because I’m so anxious about accidentally sleeping on my back. I’m 27w5d so almost at 28w and it just feels like this big looming date of when I’ll harm my baby if I’m on my back. I keep waking up and I’m on my back and I don’t know how to stop it happening as I’m natural...
