My baby is 2 month old and her weight is 3.9 and she cries alot during the evening without any reason! Or its normal? Any suggestions?

I’m not an early riser as of yet. My oldest son wakes up before me most of the time and he usually wants to watch TV and I don’t want him to. He’s 10. He sometimes doesn’t know what to do with himself. Any suggestions so he can keep himself busy without watching TV? Maybe I should just wake up earlier than him, but ...

Hey mamas, what milk are you guys thinking of transferring baby too when they are off formula? I don’t wanna do dairy milk, we’re thinking unsweetened almond milk since we don’t drink cows milk in the house. Any recs?

My baby is nearly 2 weeks old. She sleeps amazingly during the day - not a care in the world. Isn't woken by noise, doesn't mind the moses basket, is an absolute angel. At night time she will not sleep and I am at the end of my tether! She will fuss and cry for hours and hours. It feels like a constant cycle of nap...

Does anyone have any tips or advice to try and have the smoothest transition from next to me crib into big girls cot in her nursery? Shes almost 6 months old so we’re starting to prepare!

Is it possible to introduce a pacifier to your baby at 6mo?? We have never offered my baby a pacifier before as he never needed it, he was a very chilled newborn who slept through the night.

What’s the best way to get my baby off formula and onto cows milk. She has 3 bottles a day at the moment.

My girl goes to bed for the night anywhere between 7 and 8 but doesn't matter what time she does, she always wakes up around 5.30. and it takes anywhere from 10-30 min to resettle her usually by bringing her into bed with me and feeding (even if she fed a couple of hours before that). I'm usually awake at 5.30 anywa...

My baby is 9 weeks old and was breast fed exclusively until 7 weeks old, now she has formula all through the day and just breast before bed and through the night. I’ve just upped her formula to a 5oz bottle but she feeds every 2 hours still. Is this normal?! I’ve tried to stretch it to 3 hours but she just screams...

My little one never took to me breastfeeding however I don’t know what to do. He’ll be 3wks old on Thursday however I started making bottles about 2wks ago tomorrow for him. I started him on 4oz bottles and he was drinking them dry, then I upped them to 5oz as was told to by my midwife, and now I’ve upped them to ...

I had to find a platform where I can write this anonymously so I don’t get judged. I feel like since pregnancy I have not had a break mentally and on the verge of a break down. I keep putting people first and none of them even care when I need them . I finished uni and fell instantly pregnant and moved to Oldham to ...

We’re travelling with Turkish Airlines in 2 weeks and have purchased the front row seats where you are able to get bassinets. Does anyone know if I have to request them beforehand or if they will already be available on the flight?

How do you guys do it with a newborn? As soon as I put her down anywhere she starts screaming and crying and so we both feel neglected and want to do things but can't :(

Does anyone feel 1000% more sensitive and overwhelmed on their period? When my baby is crying or winging it overwhelms me so much more when I’m on my period and in pain, feeling like i just cant do it. Especially feeling like it’s constant and that I’m not getting a break or being able to take care of myself. My hus...

Hi all, could you please advise me how does it work? I haven't heard from Health Visiting in ages and my baby will be 1 next week. I have tried to call them but it's quite difficult to get through and whenever I manage, they say they will send out invites very shortly - I realise they must be super busy. I'm just cu...

My baby is 14 weeks on Saturday and I’ve been trying to get him to sleep unswaddled as I’m very paronoid about rolling etc. the problem is he still seems to have a startle reflex and has been very unsettled at night and during nap times when unswaddled. I’ve tried to do it gradually with alternating 1 arm out. Do yo...
