As a FTM, how do you not stress about germs??? Idk if I am or have become a germaphobe or if everyone else is just kinda gross 😣 I just can’t get down with shoes in the home, outside clothes on the bed, not washing your hands, etc. I’m trying to ease up since my soon-to-be 1 year old has to build up her immune…

When you give your little ones milk. Do you heat it and if so… how do you heat it up?

Hi ladies, Wondering if anyone has any advice. We’re currently on 2 naps for LO, 11:00 for an hour and 15:00 for an hour with a 20:15/20:30 bedtime and 07:30/08:00 wake up in the morning. It was working quite well and LG was waking up and bringing all sleeps to an end herself but lately I’m having to spend anywher...

My 4.5 month old has pretty much always breastfed to sleep but this hasn’t been working for us that well the past month. Sometimes she will feed and stay awake afterwards making her overtired. Rocking her only works sometimes too. I’m fed up of it now. It’s made our days so much harder. How do you put your baby to...

Our LO is coming up to the limit of his current car seat, so we're looking to upgrade. Any recommendations for a rotating car seat?

Anyone else have this sometimes

Hi. I want to buy my newborn to be due in December a travel cot as a bedside crib for now. I have a proper cot already but his older brother is currently in it. I'm thinking by the time my newborn is about 7/8 months, I'll transition it older brother into a floor bed and then newborn into wooden cotbed. So for now...

I’ve been for my 16 week midwife appointment today and come away feeling slightly unsettled. At my 8 week app I had a lovely midwife and we discussed my concerns about my feeling low and depressed - she offered to prescribe medication but I said I’d like to make it past 12 weeks to see if things improve naturally. ...

How long did use wait to have sex after episiotomy/ tearing

My son will be 2.5 in December but the last week he is having trouble napping. However if he gets a short nap in (30min ish) he is a terror the rest of the day. He used to sleep 1-2 hours and would be in a such a good mood. Now these short naps or just pretending to sleep for the nap time (i have a 7 month old as we...

Any tips my 7month old gets rocked to sleep every night - once asleep generally does sleep through the night but I really want to get into the habit of teaching her how to self soothe and go to sleep herself, however when I put her in her next to me to self soothe she just screams and gets so worked up to the point ...

My little girl is getting her posterior tongue tie done tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone else has had this done and if you could share your experiences and whether it helped what a difference it made etc. thanks

I don’t know what I aim to gain from this but I guess I just need to open up a little bit. My little one is 12.5 weeks old and she has never been a very settled or happy baby. In all honesty, the last 13 weeks have been the absolute hardest of my life and I have PPD. She’s had reflux since 3 weeks old and colic,...

Calpol - should I wake them to give them their second dose of calpol? No fever, but nurse said we should keep on top anyway

Baby is 4 weeks old and I have tried to breast feed and baby isn’t latching to well however I am pumping and baby will have that, however I am not producing much milk and want baby to keep having breast milk but fear I’m not producing enough to do so. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to help increase...

I’m struggling to pump enough for my daughter to be fed by family when I return to work, so I need to start using formula too. I’m so confused about it though, how do I know how much she needs and when? She’s EBF, eats 3 meals a day and breast feeds at 6am, 9am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, bedtime and then twice through the n...

Hey mamas! I need help. i have been 90/10 ebf throughout babies first year and only used formula when we went out and she drank from a bottle (didn’t have good pump supply, she would hybrid drink) but towards the end of her first year i messed up and just stopped giving her the bottle as much and now she’s super att...

I am currently 30 weeks and still so unsure about what formula to use. I know some can be so expensive but I just want to get what’s best for my baby. Does anyone have any recommendations?

After reading some reviews apparently there’s a clorine/bleach smell after taking the bottles out? Has anyone else experienced this? Surely it wouldn’t be used in maternity wards if this was the case and baby could taste/intergest chlorine tasting bottles

My 8 week old little boy is incredibly hard work at the moment. He kicks off constantly all day even when fed and changed. Sometimes he's smiley and happy and I live for those moments. But inevitably 5 mins later the crying starts again. He sleeps okay at night, goes back to sleep after feeds with no fuss but I worr...
