Baby

Hello everyone, so I think I could have PPD and it’s literally taking over my life. I have suffered with my mental health for a few years now and I already feel like the worst mum in the world because I had my little boy. Don’t get me wrong I love him so much and he is my world but I feel like I’m such a bad mum and...

Whenever my toddler gets frustrated or not her own way she shoves her fingers down her throat and won’t stop until she’s sick. Usually it happens a lot in the car so I can’t stop her. Anyone had this? 🙈 photo so we don’t get lost ❤️

Little one has always been a contact napper and woke up as soon as i put him down but today iv been wrapping him up in a blanket and he has done all his naps alone 👀 It might be a one off but im really shocked! (yes we use the carrycot as a moses basket in our living room 🤣)

Absolutely crazy that I have had to remind my midwife of everything we should be talking about in each appointment. We have not even spoken about harvesting colostrum and I’m already 37 weeks pregnant. Next time I see her I will be 39 weeks pregnant. Which to me is a little late! She’s asked me if I have any syring...

No judgement but we have started Ferber sleep training as our child is unhappy all the time due to lack of sleep, so it’s in his best interest. He will cry for the allotted time period, then as soon as I go in a put the dummy in he falls asleep. Is this defeating the object because he’s not self soothing? 😩

This is SO weird. So I have a 4yo, who’s autistic. She says some words and phrases but mostly just babbles/makes noises with her mouth to communicate. Or so I THOUGHT. Recently, we took our daughter out with us to a Japanese restaurant. We go sit down, a waitress comes to give us a menu, and welcome us to the esta...

So I'm exclusively breastfeeding and baby has steadily started to sleep for longer between feeds at night (one night up to 6.5 hours). This naturally causes havoc for my boobs so wanted to hear from other breastfeeding mums about how they've managed this change. Happy to have more uninterrupted sleep but the engorge...

My baby boy is 15 weeks old and is sleeping brilliantly, goes down between 7 and 8 and then wakes around 4ish then back down until half 7. He's been doing this for over a month now and initially he would wake up, fuss for a bit and ultimately end up crying if we weren't fast enough to feed him (my husband feeds him ...

What’s your opinion on the tommee tippee prep machine? I have been using it for a few weeks but my health visitor does not recommend it and she advised me to make each feed using the kettle.

So baby is 3 days old right now, my plan was to breastfeed, tried for the first 24 hours or so and really struggled due to my section, couldn’t find a way both me and baby were comfy and her latch was super painful and hospital staff weren’t the most helpful. Moved onto formula but want to start expressing some and ...

We are out and about today and forgot my LO’s sippy cup. We just started wearing and she had some soup at lunch. We ended up offering water in a bottle. I know milk changes taste once in contact with saliva, is the same true for water? For how long can I use the water in that bottle?

Is anyone planning to breastfeed as well as do some bottles of formula? Apparently you can’t pump in the first 6 weeks so was thinking about some formula here and there! X

I’ve been breastfeeding other than one bottle at night (either formula or pumped milk depending how much I get). My daughter went from pooing a few times a day at 3 weeks to pooing once every other day now at 4 weeks. I know breast milk is a natural laxative so now i’m worrying she’s not getting enough or she’s con...

We have a Moses basket in the living room which used to be just the ticket. But she’s starting to grow out of it, also starting to dislike being in it and barely ever stays asleep when I pop her in it (eg if she falls asleep on us/bouncy chair/somewhere else, then move her into the Moses). This is starting to make f...

What time does your baby have their last feed before bed and what time do they wake up? We usually do a dream feed around 10-10.30pm and I have to wake him up at 7am. I'm worried he's going too long between feeds over night. Tonight he had a feed just after 8pm, do I leave him to sleep or give him a top up at his ...

Hey ladies! I’m in desperate need to build up my supply again. Any suggestions that could be a “quick fix”? I was doing very well with breastfeeding and had a good supply but I had a mentality challenging couple of days where I didn’t realise that I wasn’t drinking or eating much. I’ve noticed my baby being more...
