Sleep during the day.

My nearly 4 week baby girl loves her sleep at night and will easily settle back down after her feeds however, during the day I struggle to get her to sleep or when she does she will sleep in my arms, if I try to transfer her to her cot she wakes straight away. Any suggestions on how I can help her or what I’m doing wrong?

Did anyone else’s epidural not work?

Writing retrospectively here. I had a epidural with my 1st baby in 2025 and it pretty much had no effect, I was in absolute agony the whole time (hours). Anyone else experience this?

Midwife now says this isn’t normal and I shouldn’t have been in pain.
Due my 2nd in 6 weeks and debating weather I should go for one again. 😣

Am I killing my supply?

So my almost 2 month old has started sleeping for 5.5 hours before waking for his first feed of the night. I usually get him to bed around 10 or 11 right after pumping from both sides and bottle feeding. When he wakes up in the night, either 3:30am or 4:30am, he only eats from one boob then he's back to sleep for another 3 hours. I'll still be engorged in both when he wakes btw. So that means that only one of my boobs is getting emptied throughout the whole night. Basically my question is will this kill my supply?? In one boob or both? What about when he starts sleeping through the night do I need to wake myself up to pump once a night to keep my supply? I still feed/pump every 2 hours or so during the day. But I just don't want to kill my supply because I'm doing the night-time feeds wrong.

Periods

Anyone not had their period yet?? 5 weeks pp not breastfeeding and freaking out 🥲🫣

Help I need milk

I am 5 weeks pp and struggling even producing an oz. I have two other children 10 and 8 that breast fed for yrs and it was never a problem. I have not had an appetite since I gave birth so eating might be an issue. But I’m also very stressed with my relationship. Any tips I appreciate.

need advice!

so i’m about 34 weeks with my first baby 🥳🥳 i have these friends who seem to care more about the baby than they do actually being friends with me ( i met them early in my pregnancy)… one of the girls even implied that their fiancées would be the fathers of my baby… im a single mom and she kept talking about how my daughter would be damaged severely. i dont know my biological father but i grew up with an amazing stepdad who later adopted me. the other girl has her wedding 11 days before my due date and has invited me but im conflicted on if i should even go cause 1. it’s so close to my due date and theres a huge chance she’s going to be early and 2. they honestly make me feel awful. they both came to my gender reveal and talked about morbid stuff on the couch the whole time and when it came to talking me they talked about themselves the whole time and that’s the same way with when we hang out.

Lactation suppression

I do not want to breastfeed (please don't ask me why) i just don't want to. I just found out the NHS no longer prescribe cabergoline and instead recommended cabbage leaves 😞 anyone know how I can get a cabergoline prescription or anything else I may be able to ask for or get to stop lactation. Happy to pay private prices

Breastfeeding

Hi ladies! FTM to a 2 week old boy. Anyone else having issues with getting enough milk to breastfeed? I’ve tried all the teas, all the cookies, power pumping and I feel so guilty and defeated because my baby boy doesn’t do well with formula we just switched him to a Soy formula this morning which he seems to be doing a little better on. I never knew guilt like I’ve felt with this Mom Guilt.. just venting

How many people cosleep?

I cosleep (bedshare) with my 7 month but not by choice anymore haha (I’m over it). I feel so alone in my cosleeping. How many people here cosleep? My baby boy won’t even sleep in the next to me crib, absolutely cannot stand it and I don’t know what to do. Weve tried sleep training him in the crib but it did not work at all and made him more afraid. I’m hoping to move him to his cot before I start work in a couple months! Is that an impossible task??

Hunger cues…

Mommas, what’s your babies hunger cues in the night? My little one is 3 months old and has 1 bottle in the night but I don’t know her cues. She stirs a lot so I’m still not getting any good rest as any little noise wakes me up. What are the signs your babies do? Or have done? She moves and I just instantly think she needs a bottle?!

Hair advice toddler boy

Hey my son is 18 months old and his hair is getting quite long , it’s fair and curly. I don’t want to get it cut yet so any advice on how I can tame it? Thanks

Feeding to sleep / nap

Anyone still feeding their baby to sleep/nap?

I read so much on how this isn’t good as they become solely reliant on feeding to sleep and aren’t able to self soothe 😔😔 But with his wake windows/hunger etc. it just kinda works! Not sure if I’m setting myself up for hard work??

First time mum and still feel unsure at 5 months (he isn’t interested in dummies) 🫠🫠

Wake windows

My LG has just turned 4 months. Naps are up and down at the moment which I know could be the regression..

We’re on 4 naps a day, but the last nap is getting so early that “bed time” is getting so early.. I’m wondering whether I should extend her wake windows slightly?

I was trying to anchor the day with getting up at 7am daily, but the last week or so this has gone out the window

Breast milk

My milk supply seems to have dropped massively can’t help but feel sad

Car seat meltdowns

Does anyone else’s 6 week old scream bloody murder every time they’re in the car seat? My little girl is ok until the straps tighten but once she starts she screams inconsolably until she falls asleep. This usually only happens once I’m on a motorway so short local journeys she just screams. This afternoon was the worst as it was a good 30 minutes. It’s really hard not to sob along with her and it’s making me feel so anxious about car journeys, especially ones when I’m by myself with her, but I can’t stay home all the time either. She’s quite a screamy baby anyway but the car seat is the worst as I can’t take her out and hold her. 😔

Withdrawal symptoms

Has anyone experienced withdrawal after leaving their partner? It’s like I was on drugs or something! The angry fog is lifting after months and i just miss them so damn much 😭I keep going back and forth. I love him, I hate him, we need him in our lives, we are better off without him. I don’t know how to stop it
