My LO is 8 weeks old and has started sleeping for at least 7/8 hours in one stretch the past few nights. Should I still be waking her up to feed every 3/4 hours like I used to do or is it alright to just let her sleep until she wakes up at this age? She has been gaining weight well and is over 10lb now.

My LO has always gone into his cot awake and fallen asleep independently or with a little help of a little pat on the bum, he then has woken multiple times in a night. However recently the only way I can get him to sleep is to now cuddle and rock him to sleep. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this just a phase?

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.

My husband and I just started. We’ve had three sessions so far, and I know that’s not much. So far I feel like it definitely helps us to communicate during sessions… but the time in between session have been unbearable. My husband will take small things I say during the session and mock me or use them against me. Th...

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!

I think we’re going to try couples therapy in the new year. I’m starting to think we actually might break up. It’s just so hard.

Little one is 3 months old and I have recently debated quitting breastfeeding but I feel SOO guilty!!! He truly doesn't do the best with 100% formula bottles as he will spit up way more. He does well with BFing, latch is great, our biggest issue is that I just don't produce enough (20 oz but he eats 32 oz) so we sup...

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.
