Toddler bottles

Can anyone recommend any good non spill water bottles for my toddler. I’m sick of my 2 year old getting soaking wet or having the bottles leak all in the change bag etc…

What time does your baby wake in the morning? Do you wake them up or let them wake up naturally on their own?

I’ve seen a lot of people saying their baby wakes up at 7am. My LO wakes up between 8:30-9am. I feel very grateful that I get to sleep in that long but I’m thinking I should probably set an alarm to wake up earlier to prepare for nursery in the new year. Also struggling to get all bottles done throughout the day as ...

Baby blues?

My baby girl is 4 days old and I randomly keep crying and I’m feeling so anxious but nothing specific I can think of. I love her so much but I’m so worried. Is this baby blues?

Safe sleep

How is everyone currently putting their little ones to sleep? I’m feeling so overwhelmed with what is safe. Our little girl was great in the next to me the first night but wouldn’t go down in it the next so we switched to the Moses basket with a cellular blanket right at the bottom (feet to bed of course) but I’ve g...

Tommie Tippie Steriliser

Hey! Does anyone else have/had any issues with the TT steriliser. I find myself descaling it at least 2-3 times a week which seems a lot to me and I find the metal disk burns really easily and often I can smell a burning smell coming from the machine after a full cycle. I try my best to remeber to stop it half w...

Has anyone noticed the lack of mother and baby spaces in car parks?? Or the ones that do have some are taken by people with no children

I never really paid much attention until I was a mum, went shopping at a retail park today and there wasn't a single baby space.

Lying preference and flat head

My LG is 9 weeks old and has developed a preference for lying on one side. I've noticed she's starting to get a slightly misshapen head as a result although friends and family have said they wouldn't notice unless id pointed it out. I'm worried about it getting worse / not going away as she gets older. Does anyone h...

How do you get your little one to go sleep?

My LO doesn’t have a bedtime routine per se.. usually falls asleep cuddled up to me on the sofa and we carry him to bed and put him in his cot but lately he wakes up screaming when we carry him up and won’t settled back down.

Pump then feed

Will my baby get enough milk if I’ve just expressed from both boobs but he wants breastfeeding right after or will I be empty? I’m worried he won’t get anything, sometimes his feeding and my pumping schedules clash if he wakes up early for a feed etc. I don’t know what’s best to do?

We aren’t renting a car and will only be taking taxis occasionally, but it doesn’t seem possible to order a taxi with a car seat.

Anyone's baby waking constantly at the moment?

My little girl has always been a rubbish sleeper...... but got to a comfortable point for a couple of weeks, she was waking every 3 hours which was amazing for her. But now she's waking every 40-60 minutes.... and has been for a week and a half. I'm exhausted, anyone else going through similar? She'll just scream un...

Best way to feed baby?

I’m looking for the best way if I can’t breast feed, to feed baby. Whether this be prep machine (although I’ve heard it’s not recommended so I don’t really want to use this) or nuby rapid cool. Or just the kettle method or any other ways please? I’ve also bought a flask that mimickes what the nuby does as I’ve heard...

Screaming before sleep

My LO screams the house down when he is trying to sleep, is that normal or is there an underlying issue I should look into?

Tolerance

At this point I honestly just feel like our relationship is over. As bad as I want it to continue I just think it’s dying and we are only coexisting and still together because I’m having a baby in February. I feel like once she gets here it’s going to put more of a strain on our relationship and we are going to brea...

15m old not walking

I know I shouldn't stress but my 15m old can pull to stand and pretty much push herself to stand if holding on to even one adult hand. She cruises fast across furniture and has started taking a couple steps between furniture and towards you sometimes but always tips forward after 3ish steps. She favours crawling and...
