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

Giving formula is easier than breastfeeding and/or pumping exclusively.

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 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...

Please be kind. This is something I'm really struggling with as time goes on. My 15 m.o has always been a mummy's girl but I worry about how mums that are super close to their little ones go when their child naturally wants them less and less. I know it's a natural, normal thing to happen but i am beside myself with...

Our LO struggles to have long naps during the day

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

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.

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 ...

So I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding for 3 and a half months (same age as baby), and I used to have an amazing milk supply. Ever since he started sleeping through the night my milk supply has dropped it seems? I can’t get more than 2oz out using my momcozy electric pump when I used to get over 9oz earlier on! It’s...

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).

Hellooo :) Could you please tell me about your daily routine for a 10 month old? I am quite struggling with transitioning from 2 naps to 1, and when to give her bottle. My little girl has started to fight against the second nap, but also, because she is getting tired around 10:30in the morning, she needs the nap. Al...

Hi all, Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts and feeling are to the rsv vaccine? I know it’s new in the uk and I don’t know what to do! My little boy is due in January and every health professional I see is telling me to get it but I’m worried as it’s new.

She slept for TWELVE hours!!!! My 16 week old slept for 16hrs, I can’t believe I woke up before her! Think I’ve forgotten what sleep was.

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...

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

Is anyone else’s babies at the moment just miserable? My LO used to be so happy and content but now if she is awake all she does in pinge and moan. It’s so frustrating as she constantly fights her sleep or when I put her down now she’s out for maybe five mins then she smacks herself awake or drops her dummy and wake...
