Help I feel like shit. Gave birth almost a week ago. I don’t like my baby and feel so disconnected. I feel that if it was a girl I would feel way more connected like I was with my daughter. I feel like I ruined my family with this baby.

I work in a call center like setting where I have to type information in on a computer while also being on the phone. I am exclusively breastfeeding. I do not plan on pumping. My baby wakes to feed every 3 hours. I work 8-5. I have 3 breaks a 15-minute break at 10-11 and 3-4 and a 1 hour lunch break at 1 pm. My baby...

Anyone else experiencing this ? My baby is refusing all naps and is incredibly fussy. When we finally are able to get her down she doesn’t nap for more than 10 minutes. Help 😫😫

I feel absolutely exhausted tonight.. and honestly have even cried. My daughter just wont go back to sleep and I have not slept. I dont think I am going to be sleeping tonight either. I rocked her.. she fell asleep.. I put her down she stayed asleep for only 2 minutes before wide awake again.

this second baby won’t let me drink water at any pace (slow, fast, like a cat, etc) without gagging and wanting to throw up. open to small packets that I can add or full drinks to buy. hopefully doesn’t break the bank 😂 I just have no idea cause nothing sounds good. help!

Does anyone's toddler like to knock their head on the headboard to lull themselves to sleep? Not hard, to where it would hurt them, but it just seems like a weird nightly ritual for them. Anyone?

Any breastfeeding mana’s can attest to this? I haven’t been on contraception and I’ve had unprotected sex on my ovulation periods several times, so maybe is due to me breastfeeding?

Little one has had a bit of a bug 5 messy nappies on Tuesday & 3 yesterday. Only had an hour nap (usually would have 2) has been very out of sorts & crying loads. Will not go to sleep have tried everything. Currently playing in the living room & not showing any sign of tiredness

My son was born on the 22nd and so is on day 2ish. He is sleeping through feeds. I have to wake him every 2/3 hours to feed otherwise he would just carry on sleeping. Is this normal and something he will grow out of soon?

I can’t tell if what I’m struggling with is post partem anxiety or a normal first time mum at almost 3 months post partem. I am struggling to be away from my little one, even in the other room when she’s with her dad for longer than say 5 minutes I just worry about her. I am obsessively thinking about SIDS, it’s h...

Hi guys. I’m freaking out and sobbing. So my boy cat will nibble on our hands to get our attention. He loves the baby and is very patient and gentle with her. I am holding her and cradling her head because it’s bedtime. He goes to nibble my hand and gets her head instead. I’m trying to get her to sleep so I can’t ...

So my son has always been a terrible sleeper. From the start he’s slept in our bed for overnight so we all sleep better. But now he sleeps in his crib for day naps and the start of bedtime until I’m ready to head to bed. He wakes up about every 30 mins or an hour and needs to be rocked, nursed or bounced to sleep. H...

I would love to hear some high chair recommendations! A comfortable high chair that turns into a baby chair is not a huge selling point for me. I’m most interested in something that’s easy to clean and is well made.

So I’m genuinely just curious at what yall are doing to get these babies to sleep? We weaned bottles at 1 year pretty easily but the rocking to sleep thing has been a struggle. He’s too big for me to rock anymore, he can’t get comfy on me. Most nights, he goes in the crib just fine and then sometimes it’s like wrest...

Hi my baby is 5 days old and sleeps and settles very well in the day, come night time she is.very fussy when put down wants more milk every time she’s put down even tho she is clearly it hungry and drinks a small amount and stops, has anyone else having this happen?

For the past few weeks my baby’s sleep has been awful (was never great to begin with) but he’s taking like 4 hours to get down in the evening and waking hourly. Now he’s no longer a newborn I find myself obsessively reading about sleep training, constantly worrying that it’s my fault his sleep is so awful and that I...

You’re at work and your child is left at home with their father and you find out that he sleeps when he’s supposed to be watching yalls child!🤦🏽‍♀️

Anyone found anything to help being able to sleep? I’m up 100 times a night for a wee, heartburn, restless legs and general insomnia!! I work full time and have a 15 month old who still wakes up in the night and I’m desperate for a bit of rest 😭😭 any tips?! Xx

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. 😔
