My 5 month old will sleep between 8-11 hours a night. She has 3 naps in the day and 4 10oz feeds. She use to have a bedtime between 10pm/11pm, I’ve started changing her bedtime to 8/9am-8am but she sometimes she will wake at 5 or 6. Do I give her an extra feed in the day and an extra nap? Or do I just give her a...

My LO doesn’t like to be covered when sleeping tends to kick away blankets. I’ve tried swaddles and sleeping bags but she doesn’t like to be restricted in them. It’s getting colder and I don’t know what I can use for her to sleep in. Any suggestions?

I'm looking to upgrade my car now that my second is here. I want a car that I can ideally fit two car seats in the back and a passenger. I know the car will need 3 "full seats" at the back, but I was wondering if anyone can share experiences, etc. At the moment, it looks like I'm going to have to go with a 7 seat...

Just a rant, I'm 5 days pp and I'm so unbelievably over the discomfort of down below, it feels worse than half the pregnancy symptoms we had. I just want to no longer be swollen or sore down there😂

Just wondering how much everyone’s toddler is sleeping now? My daughters fights her nap in the day & is only sleeping 8-5 at the moment! 😫😫

My mother in law recently (among a lot of other things) has called the fact that my baby sometimes sleeps on me ‘unhealthy’. For context, my LO is 12 weeks. She sleeps overnight in her bassinet (mostly unless it’s a particularly bad night), in the day she does her first two naps in her bassinet, but afternoon I str...

Hi everyone, FTM here. My little boy was born on the 22.10, I have been giving him the colostrum I harvested, however, he doesn't get full anymore. I tried breastfeeding him, I don't have any milk yet...I have him a pre made bottle kendamil, he nearly drank all of it and the bottle is 70ml - I assume he drank just...

My baby is now 1 and a half weeks old but still tiny (6lbs 2) I can’t put her down flat on her back without the back of her nappy leaking so she keeps getting wet clothes. Has anyone got any advice?

Any tips on removing morning bottle please? I have tried everything!

My little one refused to nap alll day yesterday apart from 40 mins in the morning .. then had us up from 1:40-4ish. She was so tired but would not completely go back to sleep so when she was put back in her cot she stood up crying. Tried putting her in our bed, didn’t help. I’ve now got to try and work a full day ti...

Can somebody tell me why this 4 month sleep regression has lasted a month and a half😭 it’s just getting worse.. what am I doing wrong???

What age do babies drop their night feed? I keep seeing if you sleep train you can have 0 wake ups but my boy still has a night feed. I'm just wondering when he will no longer need this and how to reduce/stop.

Cereal bottles, mashed potatoes, no late nap, no long nap, extra nap, co-sleep, crib sleep, rocking, not rocking, bath, no bath, white noise, silence…..It does not matter what I do my baby will not sleep through the night!! Sometimes the harder I try the earlier she wakes. WTH am I doing wrong??!!

My 5 month old used to wake up around 6:30/7 every morning but lately it’s getting earlier and now it’s between 5&6, with the clocks changing soon this is going to end up being 4/5am and I’m not here for it. Does anyone have any tips?

My LO is 3 months and 2 weeks and is EBF. He follows a routine during the day where he naps at least three times and is fed very well throughout the day*. Once given a bath and breast fed, he will sleep from 8:30pm to 10:30pm once fed again he will sleep for 4 hours (that’s the longest he’s ever done and not often) ...

Question for all the mommas who formula feed! Have you guys had to replace your bottles? I scrub them and sterilize them but the bottles just don’t seem to be super clean? Almost foggy looking.

What lotion ,soap and oil do you recommend for newborns? I’m confused on which to get.

So my best friend since kindergarten has been upset with me and I have no idea why, and she won’t give me a straight answer. We hung out a few weeks ago and everything seemed normal and fine but a week or so after I noticed she wasn’t really talking to me and was taking long to reply when I tried. I gave her space f...

Hi. My LG has become such hard work, she won’t get dressed, it literally takes hours. She’s pushing boundary’s all the time and seems to think it’s funny. I think I’m peri menopausal and exhausted as she’s up half the night n bed swapping and I’m finding it really hard to manage, keep wondering if I am doing things ...
