Baby

I’d love to start a thread about any free things that you can access to do with your pregnancy as I’m sure we all have a tiny worry about wanting to be able to provide for our little ones so every little helps! To start us off I’ve found that if you download the ‘Emma’s diary’ app and go to ‘my club’ you can downlo...

My 7 week old has now been asleep for 5 hours and hasn’t had milk for closer to 7 hours! I wish I could say I’ve slept that long but have made 2 bottles in that time waiting for her to wake up and now I don’t know if I should wake her or not 🙈 She is extremely healthy and putting on weight lovely (she’s 10lbs…

Ok please no judgmental comments! My son is 11 weeks old and has been co sleeping ( safe sleep 7, king bed, breastfeeding, dad works overnight so it’s just the two of us) he sleeps well, goes to sleep around 9:30- 10 wakes up for a bottle around 1 sleeps until 6 another bottle and then will sleep again until about 8...

Extremely grateful 😂 but LO has been sleeping a solid 8-9 hours at night (from about 9am till 5:30). However it means he’s dropped a bottle, so rather than 6 x 5oz bottles, he’s now only having 5. Should I increase him to 6oz? Or try and get that 6th bottle in during the day?

I have seen it mentioned a few times as a great resource for sleep training and establishing routines. If you have tried it, can you please share your experience? I’m also open to any other similar resource or training recommendations. We’re trying to get our 7 week old into some sort of routine. Currently, he skips...

My baby constantly sucks his hand even after eating, especially his index finger (with a closed fist). I have read that she is exploring and even improving her sucking. Does this happen to you? Do you let her do it or should I stop her?

I have not had uninterrupted sleep since the birth and my husband is sleeping through and snoring next to me every night and I can see him everytime I wake up. I feel this is a vicious circle because now I am the one that know baby so well and is able to calm him in no time. I am also resenting my husband for sleep...

Hey, My little girl has just turned one but when she was 8 months old my mother died suddenly. Has anyone experienced something similar who would be willing to chat? I’m really struggling

Soo she’s breastfed and when she wants boobie she gets the boobie! I don’t track how much she feeds but some days it’s like every hour. Shes been fitting 00 for a couple weeks now and wears size 3 diapers

How do you know when to use the next teat size?

Hello all 👋 my lo has been doing this kicking & pushing up for 2-3 weeks now but shows no other signs of crawling. Just wondering if your babies have started crawling, how did it happen and how long did it take from this? I am not worried about progress, just curious about how much time I have left before starting…

What time does/did your baby go to bed at 3 months? We had a nice bath, bottle, bed routine going on but baby would go to bed for 10pm and I noticed he would sleep well into the morning (9:30-10am), with 2 wakes in the night to feed (around 3/4 am and 6/7 am). I feel that this is a bit late for him to wake up in th...

After I don’t know how many wake ups tonight, I’ve realised I’m starting to hate motherhood. Baby has been waking so many times each night for weeks now and it’s getting too much. I’m sitting here now and baby doesn’t want anything- trying bottle etc but just wants to be held. I’m really starting to resent everythin...

Our 12 day old has struggled since being around 4 days old to pass any stools, he goes 3 days without going and his stomach gargles when feeding and he seems uncomfortable as he kicks his legs around/up seeming like he is trying to strain. We’re using cow and gate from birth formula and unsure wether to change his m...

Help! My baby goes to bed at 8pm and sleeps through but always wakes up at 5am soaked through. I’ve tried sizing up, doubling up on nappies, and nothings working. I use Aldi nappies, should I try a different brand?

Anyone else’s 8 week old really fussy in the nights all of a sudden?? Just refusing to sleep 😭 is this normal??
