Can anyone explain what my toddler is doing in this video? He has started doing this a lot more frequently now… managed to get a little bit on video. 🤍
The other day we went somewhere together in his truck. It had been quite a while since I'd been in his truck, but this isn't mine... so now I'm curious. Today it's gone though.
I fucked up. What do I do. 😩
I’m due my 3rd in August and I currently have I candy Lime which my 2 year old is too tall for now and we are rarely using an Oyster zero stroller now . With all the scooter and stuff the car boot I was thinking of getting something a bit more smaller than the I candy Lime . Does any one have the Baby Zen YoYo do yo...
The only ‘peaceful time’ and ‘time to myself’ I get is around 7:30 onwards when baby boy naps on me until his last bottle at 10:30 before bed. Does anyone else let there baby nap before bed? If so how long? Do you wake them up just before bedtime or do you wake them up an hour before so they sleep longer? Help pleas...
Wish someone would have warned me how EXPENSIVE feeding is, I’m so fed up. First I breastfed, got sore nipples so had to buy nipple shields, nipple cream and breast pads. Fine. Then he wouldn’t wean off the shields but I was producing a lot, so I had to buy a pump. Cool. Most mums have one. And also a bunch of expe...
Hiball little one was born on Sunday and since then I have been having a tough time with breastfeeding him. He doesn't have a good latch so I expresses for a few days and he was much happier. I sought advice from a lactation consultant and she advised nipple shields to help with the latch. It does help but he wants ...
Personally for me; my mother was a mother of 4 with 3different baby daddies, she was unable to raise all of us on her own so she gave us up to each of our fathers. My dad was for the streets so It was my grandparents who stepped up! My siblings & I were all raised with our paternal side. My mom’s family had mostly w...
My LO is 14 weeks on Sunday coming and has been fighting her sleep so badly, naps are 10/20mins long unless it’s a contact nap or in her carrier and has gone from sleeping during the night to been unsettled and waking for feeds (which I don’t mind at all baby has to eat). I have the wonder weeks app which I follow l...
I had a very difficult pregnancy and a very traumatic birth. Due to the blood loss, baby’s tongue tie and extended stay in hospital, my milk supply has been low and also it’s been difficult to breastfeed. I mentally decided for myself that I won’t breastfeed for my own mental health reasons and I’m combination with...
Hey how’s everyone’s night routine going? Has anyone managed to get into one yet.

Are any EBF mummies able to get into any routine with their babies? Are they going regularly a similar amount of time throughout the day? Baby is 6 weeks and every feed throughout the day is completely different in terms of times In between feeds
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...
Hi, it's my second baby and I've got mostly everything from my first, but I feel I am missing stuff.. has anyone got a useful checklist for newborns? Thanks so much!
Are people buying special baby bath towels? We have a few smaller towels that I use for my hair but I’m worried they’re going to be too rough!
