Have the worst mum guilt this morning hope I’m not the only one this has happened to. My little girl is only just turned 5 months and she wasn’t strapped in I went to the toilet came back she was out of the chair. Honestly I feel like the worst mum in the world worrying she’s hurt herself, checked her over she isn’t...
I exclusively breastfeed my 6 month old. I have pumped very occasionally when she was 2/3 months and we left her with grandparents for a few hours but haven’t touched the pump since. I’m going in for my first KIT day at work on Monday so I need to leave milk for dad to feed the baby while I’m gone. When I pumped w...
I don't know if I'm being overly sensitive about this situation so looking to see what others think, my partners dad my father in law made a comment on my babies appearance, he said that on some recent pictures I had posted that my baby looked like gollum from lord of the rings. I never said anything at the time as ...
We plan on going on “holiday” when baby is around 6-8 months old. The hotel won’t have a microwave to sterilise his bottles and since we’re going by train I don’t feel that I can take his steriliser with me as there will be a lot of suitcases we have to take too. Does anyone have any idea how I can sterilise his bo...
Me and my fiancé just had sex and I didn’t get off. Now he’s just snoring. I’m extremely pissed. I woke him up and he gets upset and says can I stop yelling at him/bothering him and making it more than what it is because I started snapping out. Can I get y’all opinion on this?
Does anyone have any experience of taking their little one to an osteopath? We have noticed recently that my little one is holding her head tilted to one side and now can’t stop worrying about it! Need some advice please
4 month sleep regression. That is all I have to say! I was really hoping that as my son is a much better sleeper than my daughter ever was that maybe we’d avoid the 4 month sleep regression. But oh no. It’s hit. He’s getting more and more difficult to get to sleep. Then I can set my watch by him waking up after exa...
I am looking for an affordable baby formula for my 5-month-old. She drinks Kendamil, but it's always out of stock and I can't buy it online. I need to switch her to something else as soon as possible. We tried Bubs, but it's expensive for the amount you get. Do you have any suggestions? I'm located in the U.S :)
I had a few drinks yesterday evening and had expressed milk for the night as I knew I wouldn’t be able to breastfeed. My partner woke me in the night however to let me know he’d accidentally spilled all the milk. On autopilot I just breastfed the baby directly and now I feel terrible and so guilty as there was defin...
Hello, my son is 18months old, but I am worried a little bit. Does your 18m olds talk? My son “walked before he could talk” Here is what he can say: Mum (mumma) dad (dadda), Tillie, my sister, see later, nanna, what do, yes, no, ta (thank you), please, juice, one, go (ready set go), and some other things He usuall...
Hello, I started noticing my son is doing this (see video) and idk what to think about it.. my worse fear is it being some kind of seizure 😞 he will have his one year appt in December
The other day my daughter showed me she can get out the cot so I have put her cot into a floor bed, I have taken the coterpiller off as it just keeps falling down(didn’t do that in cot) and pink bunny is there for decoration during the day, is there anything I should change here? Little girl is 11 months and crawl...
My little one is 8 weeks old tomorrow and has been doing really well with his sleep and sleeps 5 hours most nights however for the past couple of nights he has been waking up every two hours on the dot, screaming for food and then taking an hour to fall back asleep, I have the baby all day and all night so I was get...
Anyone else dealing with a more fussy baby? More crying, harder to get to sleep etc. My little girl (born 21st August) is seriously making me work for her naps (sometimes she falls asleep then wakes up minutes later 😅), is fussy on the boob, more gassy and just generally crying more!
Need some advice… My little boy is 7 weeks today weighing about 12lbs, is it normal for him to still be having 4oz every 3 hours. I was definitely hoping for some more sleep by now😂 but he will literally wake up on the dot and will be acting like his starving 😂🤦♀️ even just a extra hour sleep inbetween would be…
I’ve always put baby in this when I’m showering but she’s pretty much outgrown it now and I feel guilty putting her in as it doesn’t encourage her much to build on sitting/developmental skills etc
