Weaning from breastfeeding

I haven recently dropped daytime nursing sessions apart from the very first one when my LG wakes up. She then nurses at nighttime. When at nursery she will accept at least a few oz of oat milk during the day (they’ve tried her with cows milk but she point blank refuses). At home she refuses to have cows milk or any...

When were your toddler sons able to sit still for a haircut?

We have always had to just buzz his hair at home with a guide because he will not sit still and screams anytime someone touches his hair. He's 3.5 now and I'm still not sure he'd tolerate a real haircut in a salon.

Why is my child trying to climb back in 🫠🫠

Honestly it’s ridiculous at the minute. She has to be constantly touching me. I’m fed up of her being all over me. It’s like she’s trying to climb under my skin 🙃🙃🙃 She’s been poorly and teething so that doesn’t help but is anyone else finding their LO’s on another level at the minute??

Toothbrushing - toothpaste

The toothpaste I got even though stayed for ages 0-2 on the box says to get them to spit it out. We all know that’s not exactly as easy as that at our babies age. Can anyone recommend a toothpaste they use, and the method they’re using Thanks

Contact naps

Anyone's baby still a 100% contact napper in the day time? How are you handling it? Do you have any plans to try transition away? And how? I cannot put her down ANYWHERE but between 7pm and 7am she will be in her crib no problem. I appreciate that lots of people couldn't accept this from the start due to work/othe...

Cleaning

What do you use to clean a baby mat? My little boy has got a little play mat with toys that dangle from it he can kick etc. He’s at the age where everything goes in the mouth so I’m thinking if I just clean it with a normal cleaning spray he could potentially ingest some of that which isn’t good..thanks mamas☺️

CMPA

Any little babas being diagnosed with CMPA or in the process of? We are in the process as Sonny had a rash, but I’m really not sure if it is CMPA- I thought he had more of a viral infection which is what the initial doctor said. Here is a rash that he had but it cleared in its own. Struggling to get him to take th...

4 weeks old - awake windows

Advice for a first time mum please! My baby is 4 weeks old and unless he is feeding, he cries when awake. I do all the checks (nappy, wind, feed, sway, sing) but nothing seems to calm him unless I go on a walk. Any ideas? Or is this just something to grin and bear?

Getting in the high chair

I've seen a video where someone shows you how to get a kid in the car seat when they're doing the whole arched back/rigormortis thing because they don't want to go in it. I have two questions: 1. Do we think this would work for the high chair too? 2. Does anyone know the video I'm talking about and have a link to...

The regression 😭

We've been in the 4 month regression for 5 weeks now. He wakes up every hour from 9pm to 7am. Am I suppose to be training him not to do this or do it stop on its own eventually?

Everything in the mouth

When does this phase end? She tries to put anything she can get her hands on in her mouth. She doesn’t play with toys and just gets frustrated trying to stuff them in her mouth resulting in pure anger and shouting! When does this end?
