Hello, I’m not a very creative person so hoping for some suggestions for sensory play at home. I was thinking play dough with shapes. I’ve used dried pasta but she isn’t very keen. Any ideas for cheap things for my LO to do with me? TIA x

I'm due in December and my stomach dropped like 2 weeks ago and have had wild Braxton Hicks and pelvic pain. I can feel the baby down in my pelvis. Has anyone had their belly drop 2 months before their due date??

My 14 month poos are dark green in colour and tar like, sooo thick with no shape to it. It’s not diet as he’s eating same things always has. Any ideas? So hard to wipe off!

My LO has an eyelash in her eye! It doesn’t seem to be bothering her, any way I can take it out without infecting the area?

How much milk is everyone feeding baba? Our doctor has said we may be over feeding our little boy so I’m curious

My baby is now 6 months old but I still feel like I’ve got the baby blues. I get really down (not all the time) cry over silly things. I’ve always had depression and anxiety but this feels different. Is this normal or is it just me?

When do the kids typically leave afternoon naps ?

My son is 10 months old and I’ve only just started putting him down for naps in his own bed with no assistance like rocking, bouncing, breastfeeding, and such and i’ve been doing it for around 2 weeks now and he’s been doing great. He doesn’t cry as long as he did when we first started at all, he cried for less than...

Anyone else absolutely done and miserable? Of course i want him to grow fully and stay inside for as long as he needs but omg i need him out! I am so tired and always in pain. The acid reflux is constant and is my worst enemy when trying to sleep. I feel like a mammoth and just so ready to have this all be over😫…

How many cups/bottles of milk does your baby have? And what time? My baby has 1 at mid day and 1 before bed. Wondering if I need to drop one? Thank you!

We’re teaching our son sign language slowly and I was wondering if if anyone else is as well. And if so what signs have you taught him besides the basics?

I don't mean the newborn check, I mean ongoing appointments, like for a toddler

Has anyone solved their baby’s infrequent poos? The GP said it’s somewhat normal that my baby only goes poo every 4-5 days but ERIC says otherwise and suggests it can cause issues further down the line. Today my baby also has quite firm poo and was in bad pain trying to get it out. Normally it’s a large amount of ve...

My LO is 5 weeks old and has literally been feeding all day! He’s slept for all of about 15 mins today and been on the boob so much that they are now sore. I know there’s cluster feeding but this is excessive. Is this normal?!

Hi ladies can you recommend good bath time products for a 8 week old baby?

Anyone else’s toddler pooping In the bath? Mines just started doing it and we don’t know why?

I have a 5 week old baby. Been trying to combi feed since day 1 but was encouraged to give formula in the hospital whilst my milk came in. Since day 1 she has preferred the bottle over the breast because she gets far more milk from the bottle. She goes on the breast but only for a few minutes and then gets bored. I’...

Due early December and was hoping for thoughts on the bouncer? Crazy over priced or worth it?

Anyone elses baby’s gone off their milk? He eats 2-3 meals a day he will always finish his morning bottle but afternoon and before bed one’s he has a couple oz and that’s it. He’s meant to be having 21 oz and is having 18 at max. I’ve tried dropping the amount of food and still no change. He just screams until he ge...

I feel sympathy and empathy internally. I'll cry for people when I'm alone but as a child we grew up being shamed for expressing emotion. So now as an adult when people are upset I just freeze up and I turn into robot mode and feel so incapable of genuinely going "oh I'm so sorry you're going through this etc" I fe...
