My baby boy is now 9 weeks old. Since about 7 weeks old, he basically only cries while awake. We feed, diaper change, etc. and the only time he’s not crying is while eating and while sleeping. There might be an hour a day of awake time when he’s happy and not crying. Anyone else have/had a baby with excessive crying...

She’s 5 weeks old. I’ve had her to the doctors 4 times already and they keep telling us it’s reflux. We’re on hour 12, of her refusing to sleep, she won’t even settle cuddling. She’s had an hours sleep total since 11am. This has been happening since day one, only the days are getting longer, the cries are getting ...

Harvey is almost 8 weeks old and since 7 wks he has started waking up from every daytime nap after exactly 30 minutes. Before that he would sleep anything from 2-3 hours uninterrupted and now his eyes ping open after half an hour every single nap. I try everything to get him back off but he’s just wide awake and the...

My 8 week old is not sleeping through is this normal ? I know every baby is different but he goes down to bed at around 10pm and then will do 2hrs 30 mins - 3hrs and then after that he’s awake every 1hr 30 mins - 2hrs for a 5 minute feed and back to bed. Is anyone else experiencing this and do you have any advise ...

when I was 9 months pregnant, my MIL came around - the house was 95% immaculate I had been cleaning for hours! She waited until my partner left (I asked her to help with cleaning some tiles as it was too much for me) anyway she then gets a ladder and says why aren’t you dusting your cupboards??? You need to be organ...

(Just to clarify- she’s not a terrible mom. Not neglectful or abusive. Just didn’t know how to title this) I’m struggling and so conflicted. I’ve known my best friend since childhood. We’re super close. She’s always been extremely supportive of everything I do. I trust her and love her. However, we are VERY diff...

Did y’all had to wait the 6 weeks to have sex with your partner? Or not ,even tho you had a perineal tear?

My baby contact naps in the day and doesn’t go into the cot - I want to try and introduce the cot for one nap a day - do you know when your baby naps? I literally just led him feed (EBF) and sleep on me when he wants. People make me feel guilty that I’m not putting him in the cot also but I know it’s because he do...

Hi my little boy who is 2.5 years old started nursery today, he did a session 9-3 and when I picked him up he still had the same amount of nappies in the bag he did when he went. His nappy wasn’t very wet when I changed him once we get home but now I’m worrying about tomorrow! It’s only his first day so I’m weary ab...

My LO is 7 months old and still wakes (well cry’s - her eyes don’t actually open lol) Atleast 5 times in the night for her lunchboxes (so we call it - normal people would call it booby haha) I’m in total zombie mode every day I genuinely hate mornings and I’m usually a morning person. I was hoping as were weaning...

So… I’m 20 weeks today. When did everyone start getting their milk in? I haven’t got any signs of it yet. Infact besides from tiredness and being unwell I don’t feel pregnant at all. Anterior placenta so can’t feel it moving no bump as I’m plus size. I’ve waited sooo long to have a healthy pregnancy and experience ...

My 6 month old has started going up to things (couches, tv unit, toy boxes, sides of his crib) and pulling himself up. I’m unsure whether to encourage it and his develop by holding him up because of course he isn’t strong enough yet to stand for any length of time at all, or whether to say no and redirect him. Both ...

Just wondering where does everyone put their little ones for naps? Do you make the room all dark? My little one is 4 months old and when I put them down for a nap I have the room quite dark, fan on and put them in their sleep suit. She naps quite well and sleeps from 8-8 with one wake up or none so I think this is...

I’ve been boiling water and letting it cool then put the cold water in the bottle then the scoops of formula, however with no hot shot or...

Hey Can anyone recommend a steraliser - currently using a microwavable plastic dish with lid but I worry it's not sterile enough as once it's open to get one thing out then it's no longer sterile I believe? Also, how does it work if items are wet...if you dry they're no longer sterile? I'm finding this such a minef...

Has anyone got this radar key? I'm always out and about and often baby changing and disabled toilets are locked and have to ask for a key. I'm thinking of buying this key, it apparently opens for 9000 toilets in the UK. Anyone got one?
