so me and my partner the other day was saying how the nipple area of our baby boy is huge and we sort of joked it off thinking that was just his build but I was just properly looking and I’m not actually sure if this is normal? It almost looks as if it’s swollen but both sides are the same so I’m not sure??

Had the two year health review and they have suggested to start cutting out my toddlers nap? I did try to not do nap time today but she fell asleep in the high chair eating dinner 🫠 She normally naps for 1/2 hours in the day and then bed at 8ish and sleeps through until 7-8

My 16 month old just says dada, na night, quack quack, dog dog and moo 😂 She knows mama when I ask her but doesnt call me it

What is everyone giving milk and she will take water from the 360 cup but not milk. I’ve also tried the munchkin transition cup - pic attached. She also won’t take it from a timer tippy sippy cup. I’m thinking of something that’s maybe more similar to a normal bottle?? She’s currently still having it from her dr b...

I know they're a big "no no" when it comes to the nhs and safe sleep, but does anyone use cot bumpers for their 16 month olds? My little boy messes around so much when he's falling and asleep and when he's asleep, that he's constantly bashing his head on the sides and top of the cot. Surely at this age they're more ...

I had my little girl two weeks ago today. It was a very traumatic experience, i didn’t get to see her come out, I didn’t get to do skin to skin, I got an infection which meant I couldn’t breastfeed her and I had to stay in hospital with her for a week. I didn’t even get to feed her the colostrum I collected my partn...

I have a really tall toddler who’s nearly 3 and due in the next couple of weeks with a newborn. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding double buggies ?

Hello, I was wondering when it’s ok to introduce a dummy? I’ve been told it’s good for breastfeeding babies to reduce SIDs but not to do it until milk is established?

My baby is sleeping 5-6 hours at the start of the night (very lucky I know (also know it most likely won’t last)) should I be pumping during this time to stop any drop in my supply? Any of you in the same boat? Baby feeds every 2-3 hours apart from that one chunk If you do pump, best affordable pump?

Hey, since a couple months I’ve noticed that one boob is significantly bigger than the other. I do feed from both, and was wondering if anyone else experiencing something similar? 🫢

Is anyone's EBF baby a snacker? And do you have any tips for increasing time between feeds? Our health visitor has suggested that little one is a snacker (I thought she was cluster feeding but apparently not as its all day every day) and isn't getting a full feed hence feeding often. Currently she feeds about every...

My 14 month old is refusing to drink milk. He usually has three 9oz bottles a day. He is refusing them all at all times!! He’s also not eating as much as he usually does. On top of that, he’s also not sleeping the best. Yesterday he only slept like 40 minutes from 7am-8pm. I don’t know what’s going on and I think ...

Just wondering how many nappy changes people are doing in a 24 hour period? We are using an app to track and the average is about 18 a day which people have said is excessive.... ??

My 5 month breastfed baby wakes up between 3-4 times a night for feeds. I feed him to sleep and he feeds well in the day. I am so tired and finding it mentally draining because as soon as I fall into a deep sleep I am up again. Any tips which may help for longer stretches?

My son will be 2 on May 5 & I’m starting to worry that he has speech delay, he can only say a good handful of words, I was wondering if anyone else’s toddler is going through the same thing or if I should just bring it up at his next dr’s appointment. My 8 year old has autism & I just worry he could possibly have it...

Hi everyone, so I got the devastating news today that my cat Pepsi has to be put down tomorrow. He’s got aids from fighting with stray cats and grew a kidney infection, he also had the habit of eating off the floor even when we tried everything to prevent it. Like, he’d take his food out the bowl and eat off the flo...

Is anyone else’s baby having a super long afternoon nap? My baby sometimes only naps twice in a day. The odd time will do 3 naps. Morning nap is always quite short maybe 30 mins at most. Sometimes another quick 20/30 min nap around 11am. The last nap of the day is always her longest sometimes we’re talking 3 hours...

Wondering whether to give up breastfeeding as my baby couldn’t be less bothered. It’s now an effort to get him on, then he either starts chatting with my boob in his mouth or constantly pulls away, looks around. I’ve missed a feed a few times by accident and he wasn’t at all fussed. I had really wanted to go to 18 m...

Would you be annoyed if your MIL told your boy it doesn't matter that you don't wash your hands after going pee because "you didn't touch anything." I can't do anything when she takes him and that's why it's a battle to get him to wash his hands at the house because she is telling him otherwise. How do I get my son ...
