Moving Rooms

Has anyone got any advice for moving their little ones into their own bedroom? My LO will be 7 months next week and she is almost the length of the Next to Me bed. She will only contact nap on me in the day so putting her down for naps in their first isn’t an option 😩.

He is soooooo tired , rubbing his eyes yawning (I’m catching all the cues at different times to see if it makes a difference) then he is becoming fussy because he gets so tired. If he manages to doze off while having a feed he then wakes up...

Toddler wide feet

My son has G feet from Clark’s meaning wide feet, I’d love to get him a pair of vans, addidas, converses or Nike shoes? Has anyone else managed to get some shoes for a toddler with wide feet from these places? I did get him some addidas ones but they were too skinny fitting.

Naps &sleep

Ok, so baby is just turning 4 months old. For my sanity when she was a newborn, I started bed sharing with her, because she would only sleep when being held. This has worked, and still works brilliantly for us, but I'm now wanting to change things up a bit. She's currently exclusively breast fed, but I'm going to ...

Car seat advice - is 360 spin worth it?

Hey everyone, I am a member of the car seat safety group but would like opinions too! Do you think having a 360 spin base is worth it for infant carriers? They say in the group they are pointless, but I’ve read and heard so much about ease with these! Can anyone that has had/used both confirm their thoughts? Also,...

Breastfed baby barely poos

I was told that breastmilk is like a natural laxative but for some reason my little one very rarely goes. I find that when I’m exclusively feeding him from the breast he won’t go at all but if I give him a bottle of expressed mil
