Nasal spray or nose drops my baby has a bad blocked nose and so far the spray has done nothing

Currently breastfeed to sleep as nothing else works and considering sleep training once she’s 6 months but breaks my heart when she cries. Can’t imagine just letting her cry. I know there’s more than just the cry it out method but most methods are quite similar. 😔

When are you letting visitors to come see your newborn ? I wanted to wait 2 months until vaccines but I’m not sure 🤔. My mom said family will get mad at me, but I don’t care! Like I want to wait 2 months but baby was born full term too and healthy. I was thinking possibly if I let them, letting family wear masks…

Multiple wakes through the night from my 6 month old LB. I’m exhausted!! We have odd nights where he’ll sleep through with 1/2 wakes that are easy to resettle. I just can’t figure out what I do for those nights to be different! He is combi fed but I’m wondering if I should move onto just formula now. Is he waking to...

Hey! So my baby girl is 7.5 months, we’ve been weaning since she was 6 months but have only offered vegetables, toast, egg etc (no fruit). I gave her some banana today and she ate a little bit of it. In her nappy this evening she’s had small balls in her poop (pea sized) which are a weird colour but if you squeeze...

Is it normal not to nest? I'm 34 weeks and i haven't felt the need to clean or do anything to get ready for my baby boy when he makes his appearance. I've done his clothes and stuff but it felt more of a chore and I wasn't excited to do it.

My baby is 7 months and will still only go to sleep if he’s rocked/paced back and forth. I absolutely do not want to cry it out or sleep train, I have had tired putting him in his cot but he just kicks and rolls and keeps himself awake and doesn’t seem the slightest bit tired. I’m just worried I should be teaching h...

My little girl is 4 weeks and has picked up a cold from her sister 😫 she’s so snotty and I can’t lie her down because she starts gagging/choking on the snot. The only way she can sleep comfortably is upright on my chest, but I can’t sleep with her like this, what should I do!? 😫 I’m going to buy one of those snot…

My little girl has suspected CMPA so has been prescribed Pepti 1. She’s been on it 4 weeks now. I’m at my whits end with the constant spit up because it’s so thin 😭 I feel like I don’t get time to bond and play with my daughter as I can’t lay her down or play as it gets very messy with the spit up 😂 Don’t even…

This is an odd one just wondered if anyone else’s baby does this or if I should take her to get checked. My little girl will do almost a humping/grinding motion and I’m wondering if she is uncomfortable down below or if this is some sort of development thing / comfort? It seems odd to me. Sometimes she will do it i...

My LO is 4 months and is EBF. I think my supply is getting low and my frozen stash is high in lipase so he doesn’t want to drink it. I may have to introduce formula to him. Has anyone had to do this and has any issues? Worried he’s going to refuse it. Also, if anyone else has had frozen breastmilk high in lipase, ...

So I’m 3 days post partum today (23rd) and i thought my milk had come in because my breast felt a bit heavy, however i did use to harvest colostrum before baby was born and that did increase my colostrum. But the milk I’m pumping still looks like ‘liquid gold’ is this my proper milk now or is it still colostrum. Wit...
