my daughters pediatrician told me he thinks it’s best that i stop breastfeeding for the time being and just pump and bag my milk. i literally sobbed my eyes out. obviously it’s the best thing for her apparently though 🥲 has this happened to anyone else??

Looking for some nursery advice. My little girl had just turned 3. She goes to nursery 3 days a week. Last Nov she was bitten by another girl. The incident report said that the girl had pushed my daughter earlier in the day and then several hours later walked over to where she was playing and bite her arm. The nurse...

My 2 week old needs to be woken up in between feedings (every 3-4 hours) at night…when can I just wait for her natural wake up to feed her? I.e. let me sleep longer too?!?

We still dream feed (formula) and HV suggested stopping this to help baby sleep at night but I’m so nervous this will cause more wakes with hunger. Anyone done this and baby slept better?

What age do you stop say good girl/boy for burping?

Anyone elses toddler stim but you don’t think they have autism? My toddler stims but he does so much stuff that I dont think he has autism is it normal for neurotypical kids to stim too?

My baby recently started crying with my parents and husband’s parents and before she wouldn’t do that now she cries so much you would think she’s being tortured and only me or my husband are able to calm her down. She instantly stops when we get her. Is this a phase that babies go through? How long does it last? Thi...

Anyone’s LO doesn't seem to like the Love to Dream swaddles? What do you use instead? She seems okay with tommee tippee sleeping bag but can also sleep at night without one (contact sleeping or in bed with me) - not ideal according to lullaby trust I know but it’s the only way she sleeps at all for now.

How long are we pushing the last wake window for our 9 month olds? I've recently had to drop to 2 naps which means his last wake window before bedtime is almost 4 hours (one day we did 5 hours as we were out and he wouldn't nap and I felt so bad for him 😭). His 2nd nap now finishes around 4-4:30 and bedtime is at…

So, I have a 18 month old, she's always been milk mad and I've never really been that bothered by he amount of time it takes to get her to sleep (average 1-2hrs of feeding) but I recently found out I'm pregnant and it's starting to worry me a bit. She stays latched for a good 45+mins for her nap and bedtime is usual...

I have frozen colostrum from August 2024. Baby is 7 months can I give it to her or no?

My baby had her 8 week jabs today and for the past 2 hours she’s been screaming and crying she’s had calpol but won’t settle😩💔feel so helpless

What shots and vaccines did you decline after birthing your baby ? What did you tell them to prevent them from doing so? What did they tell you after declining the shots and vaccines. If you did get shots which did you get after delaying them ? I want to administer vitamin k naturally to my baby and decline...

I’m due twins this summer, I’d like to pump again like I did my last baby but that was 5 years ago so I can’t even remember what one I had! Anyone have a good recommendation for pumps? I’m UK based. Thanks 🙂

My baby is formula fed and he is currently 7.5 weeks & weighs just over 12lb. Today he has around 35oz of formula, and he’s been hungry every 2-2.5 hours (between 5 and 6oz throughout the day) I know it’s ’feed on demand’ but I don’t want him to be eating too much? Is anyone else’s baby the same?

For those who co-sleep, does your baby eat like all night? 😅

Hey!! This may sound like a ridiculous question but I’m aware there’s going to be a 4 month sleep regression coming… but without sounding stupid, what does that mean?? Are they more hungry so wake up for feeding or is it just that they wake themselves up so just need to be soothed back to sleep???

At least that’s what everyone says it is but I’m not convinced.. LO used to sleep through the night but now wakes up absolutely hysterical and screaming down the place and she’s screaming and crying in the day too on and off. Never ever did this before.. she’s not even been asleep for an hour tonight and already wok...

Honestly girls when do you start to feel more yourself? Also c-sections bellies when ? How, do you get flatten it a little. I know it’ll be there forever but my god this girl is not making me feel great right now

Is this even a thing!? My boy turned 7 months a week ago and I feel since then he’s going through a sleep regression. It’s like his a new born again, constantly waking up to be soothed back to sleep to waking every 3 hours for food and just in general rubbish sleep tossing back and forth. Anyone else experiencing or...
