Positive support after emotional few weeks

Swaddle up?

I’ve heard good things about the Love To Dream Swaddles, I have a 2 month old who doesn’t sleep well. I’m considering buying one but it seems weird to me that their arms are stuck upward? Thoughts on swaddling babies arms upwards? Thoughts on those specific swaddles?

Proud mummy moment 🩵✨

My 17 month old now knows his colours 🎨 I can't even explain how proud I am of his speech and pronunciation. The past 2 months have been amazing, he can recognise and say - animals, colours and fruit. I would love to know if any other May babies are speaking or what milestones they have smashed!!!!

Baby rolls at 2 weeks

Baby rolls onto his side at night. All the way, not just his head. Scares the crap out of me. I bought this in hopes that itll keep him from rolling. Thoughts? Advice? We have tried rolling towels and putting them on either side. He somehow rolls right into and around them. Would this insert be okay for a pree...

Speech - speaking in sentences

My 25 month old still isn't really talking in sentences. I think she is talking in two word sentences but it's difficult to tell. She sometimes says things like: "there's the ball" does this count? Other than that she has lots and lots of words but isn't putting them together much and doesn't conversate. How are yo...
