Baby

I had my little girl on 31/05/23 and she is beyond perfect. I’m a FTM and really struggling with the lack of sleep at the moment, I was expecting the lack of sleep but I’m just wondering if I’m doing anything wrong. She will only settle in my or my husbands arms (very occasionally in her Moses basket during the day ...

Hello everyone, My baby is 2 weeks old tomorrow but was wondering if anyone had any advice on what they should be wearing during the day and night in the summer? I’ve been putting him in a vest and baby grow but not sure if that’s right or not? He seems to be ok and not getting too hot but I don’t want him to over ...

I screen shotted a really nice looking Moses basket ages ago and just came across it again. I was wondering if anyone actually used anything like this downstairs in the day? Or should baby always be put for a nap in the cot? We have dogs, so anything to keep the baby raised (when we are in the room of course!) whe...

I had go out for four hours to collect my daughter. I expressed BM for my partner to give to our boy, I did 6oz and the expressed a further 2oz, just in case and baby drunk the lot. I googled how much he should be drinking at 7 weeks and it said 3-4oz every 3-4 hours. He is in a growth spurt but is this right? Anyon...

Hello, my lg is 2 weeks old and has a lot of gas, it won’t let her sleep. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it? We do tummy massages, bicycle legs, tummy time and burps. She is exclusively breastfed ( I also have gas!). Not sure if there is a diet I can try or common food causes or any other suggestions apart fro...

So my son is now 1 month old. He did not latch at all for the first 3 weeks. When he did latch at day 23, he doesn't move much milk. After about 45 mins of bf, he need atleast a 2 ounce bottle of pumped breast milk. Every single time. Its draining me out physically and emotionally. I feel so inadequate and also lack...

My baby is 10 days old and she just hates the car seat / travelling in the car and also going out in the pram. I’ve found for both she can manage about 10/15 mins where she’s wide awake looking round confused but then any longer she starts screaming and is distressed and nothing will settle her. I’ve tried mid walk ...

Should my baby be drinking 6oz at 4 weeks or am I over feeding him?

My baby is 5 weeks old and hasn't done a poo in 2 days, just farting a lot and looks uncomfortable doing it. She is fed both with formula and breast. Do I contact 111 or my community midwife and at what point??

Just wanted to share our success, might help someone, as it took a lot of googling and reading to figure it out. So my girl got colic around 2 week mark and as I'm EBF, I was trying to change my diet to help her (even going to pharmacy to ask for some drops, they said I shouldn't get any and focus on eliminating thi...

We started BLW 3 days ago, babe was showing all the signs of readiness and has taken to it like a duck to water💕 I’ve taken photos of her at each meal time devouring the bits on her plate and I love them😂 Would love some ideas on meals for introducing allergens! We’ve started with wheat this week and she’s had…

May sound silly but sterilising is confusing. So if I sterilise bottles and don't use them straight away and put the teats on and lids on would they be OK to use later or would I have to resterilise them. Ie if I had them in bag if out etc and were sterilised in the am would they be OK to still use. Also anyone got...

Am I the only one that struggles with bedtime? We tried various times but most of the time it just doesn’t work. Does everyone really have a successful 7/8pm bedtime where they do a little ritual of bath and cuddle or book and then just put baby in the cot to sleep? Am I the only one who hasn’t mastered that? We spe...

It just breaks my heart and I'm constantly breaking down into tears today. I try to hold him in my arms and rock him to sleep but he just squirms and kicks and throws a tantrum trying to break free. I'm currently trying to sleep training him (transitioning from rocker seat to crib) and I'm not seeing any light at th...

Hey! My 2 month old drinks 5oz bottles of formula every 4 hours. I know babies his age typically do not drink that much, his doctor said it was okay as long as he isn’t spitting up too much. He normally gets one bottle during the night but last night he slept from 1030-700 and got a bottle at 7. I was wondering if I...
