Has your LO discovered their voice yet? He’s shrieking and yelling like never before just for minor things like wanting to be picked up. He screams like he’s in pain but he’s being so dramatic lately these past few days

Hey moms!!! Anyone have experience with supplements for lactation ?? I produce about an ounce an hour and I do pump here and there …I feel like I produce just enough for my baby but I wanna be able to make a surplus of supply to be able to store as backup in my freezer. What works for you to make A LOT of breastmilk???

Sometimes I wish I didn't choose the breastfeeding route. I thought I'd easily be able to combi feed but it's just not working. She won't really take the bottle of my milk or formula from anyone..she will take it from me occasionally and my partner but rarely. It's not the teat she just wants my boob. People who f...

Hi everyone, Congratulations to all the fellow Mummies out there who have had their October babies already! I’m so lucky with my baby. At just over 2 weeks old, we already have a good 3 hour routine between waking for feeds - night time included! However, my baby will only settle for sleep again suckling on the br...

My little one has been diagnosed with pica, they say pica and autism go hand in hand. She shows a lot of autistic traits that I brushed off until now and the pica diagnosis. She used to speak so well, nearly full sentences, but now she hasn’t spoken in over a week just back to babbling.. could this be a regression? ...

I am really struggling with my baby as he will not feed during the day and only will at night! It's near impossible to feed him of I am out and about. I am breastfeeding him during the day and night but we have a formula bottle for breakfast and just before sleeping. I don't know what to do and I am thinking just m...

P.S I don’t have support or a village but I really want my child to have a sibling.

this is for the moms who didn’t sleep train their babies and still helped them fall asleep until after a year. we had a lot of sleep issues when my son was younger and we didn’t have a chance to sleep train him because it would have made his already messed up sleep schedule even worse. he’s about to be 16 months and...

Hey all! At the beginning I was an oversupplied and now it has steadily dropped, which I am sure is normal. But I am so close to making to my goal of exclusive breast milk/ breast feeding for my son’s first year. And am scared to start supplementing with formula on top of solids. I feel like my son isn’t really eati...

When is everyone starting their washing?? The time has started to go really fast!

I had a call from the health visitor today (31 plus 1) wanting to visit next week. I didn’t realise anyone would come until baby is here, does anyone know the point of her visit or has had this?

I feel like the only description I can give is that it smells a bit like sick. Anyone else finding this?! He’s 10 days old.

I had a baby 8 weeks ago and me and my husband have not had sex since baby was born…..I feel quite nervous about it in case it doesn’t feel the same anymore and if my husband doesn’t feel the same pleasure as before. We haven’t had sex for about 5 months as I just wasn’t interested towards the end of pregnancy. ...

I have enough diapers to get through this baby and another. But it’ll be at least 2 years before we start to try again.

Is there a way other than latching and power pumping which I'm already doing what can I do to make my milk come in for longer? Based on baby's swallow sounds, milk only flows for two minutes, then is a trickle, and she's still hungry. If I don't pump the other boob while she's feeding the milk goes away so I can't...

in the day. I don't get it because she goes down at night in her next to me and sleeps 11+ hours (I do put her down asleep). If she does nap Inthe day it is only ever less than 30 mins but will contact nap for 2.5 hours! 🙈 I want to start getting things done in the day and would love to be able to put her down!

I’m not sure what they do at my daughters preschool but I’m tired of her coming home with stained clothes. The worst thing is, even after wash it doesn’t come off. Hasn’t even been two mnths since she started pre school and majority of her uniforms are stained. They’ve also misplaced one of her t shirts. Does anyo...

New to pumping and only made half an ounce today! I would like to freeze this in a bag and then if I make another ounce tomorrow freeze that in a separate bag. Then when I need to use it, thaw bags separately and mix in one bottle for a full feeding? Sorry I’m being so tedious ! Anxious mum here!

Anyone’s baby out of no where started cluster feeding? My son is on his 7th bottle today and having 4-5 oz each time 😳 5 and a half weeks old!

Anyone Else had this. My little girl has been on cows milk from start of September just before she turned one on advice from health visitor when she had her 10 month check. Ever since then she’s struggling with constipation to the point she’s inconsolable crying and she’s making herself bleed. It’s been 6/7 weeks...
