Hi🙂 My daughter is 3 months old and she’s been sleeping in a cot since last Friday. She’s very wriggly and always on the move. She’s slept through the night since 2 weeks old but since she’s been in the cot, she’s waking herself up once a night with her either hitting her head on the side of her cot or getting her…
I bought my daughter a play pen when she was around 6 months old, but I can only recall a handful of times where I actually used it, lol. Now it sits in the corner with miscellaneous stuff in it
My Fiance requested I go to the gym to get rid of my postpartum body when making this request I had just finished feeding baby and was about to get in the shower. Am I wrong to be mad at him. I felt so disheartened especially because after the birth of baby my heart rate dropped significantly and I became unconsciou...
Giving formula is easier than breastfeeding and/or pumping exclusively.
I planned a homebirth that ended in a c section because they lied to me. I'm having a hard time processing and accepting all the consequences that comes with doing things unnaturally. I feel robbed of my very first childbirth experience and now I'm sad all of the time about it. I'm happy to have baby girl, but I jus...
Day 2 of using my dreamland weighted sleep sack and my baby sleeps so Much better. But I just saw a law suit against them. Regarding its safety issues. Does anyone else use this ?? My husband thinks it’s overall safe but I’m unsure now.
Currently on hour 3 of being awake with my 5 day old where the only thing stopping her from crying is being latched to my right nipple (the left just isn't good enough) Tell me it gets better 🫠😴
How long did the sleep regression last for you? When we had the 2 month one it felt like weeks and weeks. I think we just entered the stage as he has been up every hour and half but he also had his jabs yesterday
Hey ladies, so I'm due baby number 2 in December. I formlar fed my first, and I'm thinking of breastfeeding my second, I'm not sure yet. I'd like more information from women who have breastfed. I've heard that some babies don't take a bottle. Have you experienced this as I'd like my partner to help too but worried i...
How do I know if my baby is hungry or just using the dummy for comfort!? During the night at roughly the same time each night she’s quite fidgety and occasional cries out. Without the dummy to somewhat settle she, she continues to fidget for at least 1-2 hours with short breaks for 1 min in between randomly. she doe...
I’m seeing some people post about how they no longer need to wake their baby up for feeds in the night as they’re now over their birth weight. My question is, how are you even getting to that point? I can’t even get my baby to sleep during the night, if she does fall asleep it’ll be on me and obv I try to move her ...
I just had my son and I was told to wake him up for night time feeds , I just tried at 3am and he would not latch! Just wondering how to wake him and feed him at night ? (I know it’s his first day on earth but I just want to be prepared).
Baby has woken 9 times.. from. Only 19:30 last night. She will do this all night long I’m absolutely exhausted she does this every night I genuinely get no sleep I’m a single parent and I can’t take this much longer I have no idea what I do wrong
Even if baby has a good latch, will breastfeeding always hurt for the first week or so? Baby was born yesterday afternoon and the midwives aren’t being super helpful so I’m waiting to go home and meet with the infant breastfeeding team. In the meantime, me and baby were separated for about 3 hours after birth be...
Is anyone else’s newborns rolling on their side? My little boy is 5 days old and we struggle to get him to settle in his next to me sometimes anyway, but now he’s started rolling straight onto his side and trying to sleep on his side. I’m panicky as it is and keep putting him back to his back but he just keeps going...
