Hi! My baby girl just turned 1 last Sunday. She’s currently taking 2 naps 1 in the morning and one in the afternoon. When do you think would be ok to transition to 1 nap? This is my first so everything is new for me 😅

Currently with your 14+ month old, how many naps do they normally have?

My 4 month old sleeps through the night with no problem, but when it comes to naps, he tends to be more needy and I usually have to rock him to sleep every time. Any Mommas out there have advice for how to nap sleep train? I love for him to start putting himself to sleep in his crib for naps on his own. Any advice o...

Hi there ! My almost 23 months daughter refuses to take her naps but after a little while she falls asleep but then she wakes up half an hour after and wants me to be with her during the whole time until she wakes up if I leave the room she wakes up crying very frequently… is that normal ? Also I weaning her from Br...

Has anybody used a next to me crib that can later be converted to a normal crib? I found some 4 in 1 options, but none are really suitable for use as a bedside crib. I'm from Turkey and they're really popular there but I couldn't find a lot of (preferably wooden) options here in the UK.

My 3 month has just started to demand food every 2 hours… he’s taking 5-6oz each time. Surely this is too much too often?? 😫 He will suck at the bottle as if he’s starved 😭

Hi, I’m hoping to travel to Nigeria next year but there are no appointments at the embassy in London till February to renew my expired Nigerian passport and to get an appointment for my sons to get their first Nigerian passport but I am planning to go earlier. Also can’t get visas as the appointments are also not a...

Hey I am currently 37 weeks so not long now until baby’s arrival. Our first and only other daughter is 5. She has been really excited about becoming a big sister but has been extra clingy to me the last couple of months. Tonight she became really upset and tearful at bedtime and told me how worried she is, that she’...

Some nappies of my newborn had red mucus, not a lot. Took him to GP, they said he has anal fissure from too much bowel movements. And that I breastfeed him toooften (every 2 hours mostly, on demand). GP said to feed him every 3 to give time for the fissure to heal. Anyone had experience with such nappies before? An...

Anyone else having random feelings of anxiety come out of nowhere for no reason. I am also feeling very emotional today and feel so sad I’m almost depressed? Is this normal?

I live with my baby and baby’s grandma but struggling as my baby gets really upset whenever held by her. I don’t know what to do, nothing works. She could say hello to baby and that’s it, it just sets off the crying. Grandma is great with baby it breaks my heart and hers that my baby won’t settle with her. Baby is b...

I'm sick of constantly guessing what the hell is wrong. I keep wake windows consistent, yet somehow some nights he is literally screaming his head off, yet the night before he fell asleep soundly??? I'm so tired of it. I cannot explain how sick I am of the inconsistencies. Nothing makes sense. I try do it all perfec...

My baby has just gone up to 210ml 6x a day (so 1260ml per day) while also breastfeeding a couple times per day. But I’ve just read that 5-6 month olds should be on around 1000ml a day so now I’m worried I’m overfeeding him?? He’s not a particularly big baby on the 5th centile

For the past 5 weeks we’ve had 9-10pm bedtimes. We just can’t get her back to her 8pm bedtime. Anyone else experiencing the same? Or have any advise? X

My twins girls are only 10 weeks so I understand a routine isn’t going to happen but I’m worried I’m messing things up. Due to my anxiety and PPD, I have struggled from day one with being alone with my girls. I’ve made plans every day to go and be at someone else house so I know I have other hands. However this mea...

My autistic son can communicate very little and he's taken to screaming at everything. If he doesn't want something, when he's angry or frustrated, or if his toy falls over. Really any time hes misunderstood or doesn't get what he wants. Trying to help or comfort him just makes him scream more. Does anyone have a so...

Any one else considering bottle feeding? Feel awful for giving up so soon but I’m really struggling with not knowing how much they’re getting 😭

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...
