Not supporting me

I’ve chosen to exclusively breast feed and my partner has done nothing but badger me to go onto formula because “he’ll sleep better” which I don’t think is good enough reason. I had a really hard time breastfeeding my first she wouldn’t latch and we had loads of problems with it and it affected my mental health so I...

Anyone use Kudos diapers? I accidentally ordered the wrong size earlier this month (forgot to upsize) and instead of them having me send it back they said I can keep it or give it away 🥹 love themmm so sweet. I’m in Roosevelt Island if anyone would like to come pick them up! It’s about a month’s worth of diapers.

How long does it take you to get baby back to sleep?

So my LO is 7 weeks now and in general he sleeps well. He normally only wakes once during the night to feed. Now from when he wakes up to when he's back asleep it can take 1.5 hours. For us it's fast when it takes 45 minutes. Now my mom told me that it should take way less time during the night. Between nursing from...

Face down in bassinet

My baby is starting to roll over and she likes to sleep on her side almost face down into the mattress. Even if I turn her on her back she ends up in the same position. She’s going into her crib for the first time and I’m worried about this position. Does anyone know how to deal with it?

Night Feeds

Hello Ladies - hope you can give me your thoughts. So by now, our babies are 4-5 months old and many of us must be enjoying the fact that babies have started sleeping through the night. When your little one has slept for 7-9hrs and let’s say they had slightly less milk the previous day, do you wake them at night to ...

I have a lot of size 1 diapers and my baby is has been using size 2 since 1.5months. So if anyone wants some size 1 diapers I’m down in Miami. Pick up only I don’t have the money to ship them.

Would you let your 4 and 5 year old be in the room during childbirth?

I think it’s a super beautiful thing, and could be a great moment for them to understand the power and nature of a woman’s body and its capabilities. I’m slightly worried that it will be too scary for them, although I doubt it, and I also know my husband would remove them if something bad started to happen. Another ...
