Nap times

Do you time nap times as when you put them down for the nap or when they actually fall asleep? Luckily it usually only takes a minute or two for my girl to fall asleep but occasionally it can take a bit longer but she’s always put in her next to me awake

How are we all holding up?

Just a post to how we are all dealing with such nasty narcissistic women! It makes me so angry and ashamed that I share a gender with them! I am finding myself struggling with all things related to my partners baby mum at times. It's hard not to let it affect you, but when people are telling you to "ignore her" whe...

Renting car seat on holiday

Travelling to Dubai in a couple of weeks. We have rented a car and paid extra for a car seat but actually thinking about it, how can I trust where it’s been / if it’s been in an accident. Should I just take my own? I have a cybex car seat, would it get ruined by airline?

It’s been rough today

He was inconsolable for a couple of hours, I feel anxious just thinking about it now. I had to swaddle and rock him for a couple of hours to soothe him. We gave him gas drops and even Ty...

3 naps - 6 months old

Hi How do you encourage 3 naps please? Nap 1 can be longer in the cot - would you wake after 1hr to attempt a 2hr lunch time nap? What if you’re out ? 🤯 How do you get them to nap for 2 hours & have time for a third? My babies night wakings can be after 6-14 minutes & people are saying it may be due to the day naps…

Fussy feeding

The last few weeks my baby has been so fussy with her milk. She wants it but constantly moves her head, chews on the teat etc. If i take it away because i think she’s had enough, she cries. Does she need a bigger teat? I’m reluctant to change the teat because she makes herself cough/choke already because she sucks h...

Latching problems...

Is anyone else struggling to get their babies to latch onto the nipple? I'm a bigger girl, so have bigger boobs and nipples, and I genuinely wonder if I don't have the correct anatomy to breast feed my baby! I've been referred to the tongue tie clinic at Denmark hill, and I'm hoping that that will solve all our prob...
