Pumping?

Has anyone tried pumping again months and months after that initially had stopped? I’m 8m pp and I’m still making drops if I squeeze my nips. Opinions and thoughts on this matter? Nothing negative.

Nursery bags

I hate even having to post this 😭😂 but does anyone have any recommendations for a good nursery bag/where they got theirs from? Bonus points if it personalised ☺️

for a month now my 8 month old baby is literally crying from morning till night it is so annoying, nothing is wrong with her! she cant get down for naps because she has so much energy meaning shes falling asleep at 10/11pm and up at 7/8am I cant do this anymore i've tried rocking i've tried putting her to sleep on me first i've tried everything. I cant do this anymore, i have the worst headache.
i've tried the cry it out method but she literally will not stop crying she literally cries for 10-15 minutes and on going if i dont go to her. I cant keep doing this, she was never like this.

i have adhd and its so overstimulating and overwhelming my body is in constant fight mode because of it i just feel like i cant keep doing this, i love my baby but i'm hating myself and my life. i cant keep up with the house or even clean it up for her because all she does is cry and my husbands at work basically all day and helps when he can.

does it get better or just worse from here.

Health Review

Hey Mamas, has anyone else's baby had a health review yet? I've been reading a few things online and now I'm worried I was supposed to book one with the health visitor. She’s 4 months old. I don't remember being told to arrange it myself. Did your health visitor contact you, or did you have to book it?

Daytime naps

I have a nearly 4 week newborn. Baby sleeps great at night, she sleeps in the next to me in her cocoon pillow with her love to dream swaddle blanket.

I’ve heard advice that during the day they should be put down for a nap not where they sleep at night with slightly more daylight.

She doesn’t really get off to sleep much during the day at all. Feel like I hate to cuddle her for ages for her to settle for only about half an hour.

I feel like maybe I should put her down for naps upstairs in her next to me as she would during the night just so she can get some sleep during the day.

Anyone else’s baby just fights sleep during the day?

Breastfeeding and formula

Has anyone had experience with breastfeeding just once a day?
Really struggling with the BF/pumping journey and looking to wean down but I don’t want give it up entirely.

Baby’s night bottle

Hi all just looking for advice. My little one is 7 months and formula fed. She has 1 bottle through the night,(8oz) she dose wake up hungry. Whats people’s advice for getting rid of this bottle, so she sleeps longer?

Has anyone ever put baby rice into the last bottle? I’ve heard lots on people putting rusk in a bottle also, I’ve looked online and it’s suggested not to do this but lots of people say it works.

Has anyone tried?

New mom

I had a very traumatic labor to the point ion think ill do it again. But everyday I look at my handsome boy and forget about it. I cry about it sometimes but im trying my best to not let it affect me.

Crying

Anyone else’s baby cry inconsolably every time they are awake? I’ve been to the doctors and we are looking at CMPA or silent reflux? But I can’t take it anymore :( it’s so sad hearing her cry all the time and it sends me crazy

Momma’s of 5+ year olds….when does the defiance end??? Or does it 👀

I’d really like to know when the pushing boundaries and talking back stops. Holding on by a thread 😮‍💨🫠

Failing.

This is too damn much. A newborn and a 5 year old that’s on the spectrum. About to transition into kindergarten soon..

Sleep training?

Hi! I have a 5.5m old girl and I’m contemplating sleep training her using the Ferber method. I’m looking for people who have sleep trained or are thinking about it. Any tips? Anything we should know before we start?

Bcg

Mamas, has anyone else's 4 month old's BCG still not fully healed yet? It still looks like a bump and leaks a little when I bathe her, but she seems absolutely fine otherwise. How long did it take for yours to fully heal and go down in size?

Second baby

The mum guilt is seriously starting to affect me. I keep crying at the thought these are literally the last final weeks of just me and my daughter. Then the baby is going to come and then next year she’s off to school so that’s “just us” basically over. I just can’t handle it. My heart is breaking 😭

Postpartum Anxiety

Hi there all! I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl at the end of July, and over the last week or so, I’ve been experiencing so many anxious waves, where I’m literally worrying about anything and everything and I just feel like I’m losing touch with myself ☹️ it’s not constant thankfully, and it has gotten easier as the days go by, but when it hits, it hits like a freight train and all I want to do is cry 🥲

It’s even to the point where I’m anxious about little things like showering, which is just mortifying to admit 😅 I guess I’m posting this just to get it off of my chest and maybe see if anyone else is feeling this way?

Thank you for reading either way 🫶🏻

Post bath
