Baby

Hi all, my baby is due early June with a possible early induction. I want to have a vaginal birth but I'm more worried about the pooping and farting and the smells while pushing than the pain! Is there anything I can do to reduce this? Anything I should eat or avoid eating before and when?

Hi everyone, my LO will be 8 weeks on Sunday and for the past 4 weeks it has been hard work. He sleeps well during the night, waking for feeds and nappy changes and quickly goes back to sleep. Morning feed is usually between 8-9:30am and after this he either has a nap or a wake window and is calm. From around 11am u...

What do you guys leave your baby in to have 5 minutes to tidy the house or put dishes away or make there bottle or make your tea or a cuppa without them screaming the house down 😩 11 weeks old

I had my little girl 2 days ago and we’re breastfeeding at the moment. I’ve had multiple midwives say her latch looks great, she’s feeding well etc but my nipples are in absolute agony. One nipple is really sore and the other is that bad it is literally bleeding and almost looks bruised actually on my nipple. I th...

My newborn keeps crying in hysterics whenether I place him in his cot any tips

I don't think I'm coping or dealing well with postpartum... I cry everyday and I'm now even questioning my relationship with my partner. He is very supportive and I'm super grateful for him but seems like lately everything he does or says annoys me. There is also some sort of resentment I feel for him due to some st...

I've been lying wide awake for an hour now, is anyone else struggling with insomnia this late (38w) in pregnancy? 🥴😭 I feel like labour is nowhere near, no signs of baby at all 😅

Well, my daughter’s 3rd birthday is coming up and it already looks like it will be another year with most people declining. I want so much for her to have friends to play with, but nothing I do seems to work. She’s a wonderful little girl I just wish other moms would give us a chance and other kids would give her ...

20days PP. I can't fully BF as I'm so tired and unwell from my csection. But my wish is to BF mostly as formula is so expensive! And I just want her to have my milk but I'm so sore still. So I'm sometimes putting her on my breast. If not then I'm pumping. But when I'm pumping I was doing every few hrs and ir would s...

Hi mums, my twins will be 9 weeks old on Monday and I wanted to now try and establish a routine for them- past couple of days I’ve been trying to establish a bedtime routine but feel like feed timings/naps etc are not consistent during the day- has anyone else got their babies in a day/night routine at this age?

So I’ve been told by many family members that it’s okay for the baby to cry, but I was also told not to allow the baby to cry too much too often. So I’m wondering what is the maximum amount of time should I allow my baby to cry?

Is anybody else’s little one still waking every 3-4 hours? I feel like I’m doing something wrong as so many say theirs sleep through but my little boy wakes so often and I’m just exhausted - anybody else in the same boat?

I was told that with breastfeeding I might lose some baby weight, but instead of losing it, I keep gaining weight. I try to eat healthy and enough, bit I don't seem to be losing any weight at all. Did anyone else gain weight while breastfeeding?

Hello, my baby has just turned 5 months, I have spent every second with her. She sits in her chair or plays on her mat in the bathroom while I shower or wash my face, I always have her in view. I enjoy it like this, it makes me happy to be around her I'm not complaining. I don't like being away from her. I have neve...

My LO is 4 weeks tomorrow and I’m thinking of putting him in his nursery - we live in a flat so the room is literally across the hall and I am thinking of putting him in his own room in his Moses basket but then in the cot so it’s still familiar for him, he also sleeps in a sleep bag so no concerns over the blanket...

Hey ladies...so I've noticed that my milk supply has been dwindling, so I've been working extra hard to produce more. I've been pumping every 2 hours and nursing in between that (even in the middle of the night). But as of recently, I've been having these intense burning, shooting pains in my breasts. Before it was ...
