So my baby is only 6 wks and my deep freezer and half of my freezer is full of milk but I still have to pump while away from baby because my breast will get sore and leak. Should I just start dumping the milk I pump at work cause I have no room for it ?

Hi guys, So my LO is 15 weeks. I contact nap with my baby during the day and co sleep during the night. Almost everyone has told me i need to let my baby cry. He usually cries when he is tired and due for a nap. He does not settle for anyone else but me. It is tiring but i get very very anxious when i hear him cry. ...

So my baby is 2 weeks old today, and I decided to stop expressing because she has bad colic and she seemed worse after breastmilk. Has anyone else decided to opt out of breastfeeding and expressing after baby was born? I just can't shake the guilt feeling.

So when you first have your baby the health visitors say to only bath them once a week, I now bath my baby 2-4 times a week depending on how messy she is, I was wondering if anyone does the same? Or if I should be bathing her everyday

Little girl is 3 weeks old. I stopped breastfeeding after just 5 days and switched completely to formula. We had a fantastic birth experience but she was very sleepy and a reluctant feeder for the first few days - that along with her being so tiny terrified me that she wouldn't get enough from me alone and would bec...

He’s only 10 weeks and he’s nearly fills his carrycot he will not last in it till 6 month.

Just wondering those mummas who have had their babies already… how many times does your newborn poo? My baby seems to be going literally after every feed. I’m not sure if it’s tbe milk not agreeing with him, he doesn’t always seem uncomfortable but does seem to cry when he poos sometimes.

Before you went into labour was you really gassy? I have had two poos and been farting so much in the last ten minute and they stink! Is it a sign of labour?😬😬😬😬

(TW) colostrum harvesting I don’t want this too seem like I’m showing off because I know some people absolutely struggle so I’m so sorry in advance. I’m on day 3 of my harvesting journey trying to collect for infant and induce labour however the colour and consistency and amount has changed so drastically in 72 ...

My LO is 8 weeks old and I’m just wondering what people are dressing their baby’s in at night to sleep during this hot weather? TIA 😊

So I have been diagnosed with diabetes and recently my fasting results have gone higher than usual but not during the day. I got this message to call but it’s closed and now it’s weekend? Anyone had a similar experience. Thank you 🙏🏻

I feel really vulnerable posting this pic but it just describes how I feel. My 6 month old son hasn’t slept through the night one time yet and it’s catching up to me so bad 😭 I wouldn’t mind at all if he was only waking up like 2-3 times a night but it’s still usually every hour or 90 mins every night. I struggle…

I have been sterilising my mam dummies by boiling water for 5 minutes. Do I need to sterilise them each time she uses them throughout the day? So for each nap? Or is a rinse of the dummy in between okay and just sterilise once a day? How is everyone else doing it? Xx

We've been co-sleeping since my lil has out grown his bassinet. It was due to lack of space for a crib. Well we are finally getting into a 2bdrm meaning he'll have his own room. Need tip's for transitioning to solo sleep.

Just left triage for high blood pressure. My doctor told me to go have sex and it will help me go into labor lol I’m like well ok I’ll go do that 🤣

Is anyone else just struggling really bad with their baby hitting the 4 month mark? Or just struggling with motherhood in general? My daughter was a good napper . I felt like we had finally gotten into a good sleeping habit with naps/nighttime and as SOON as it started to feel consistent she turned 4 months old and ...

My little one will be four months on Sunday and I’m intrigued to know what peoples day time routine is? He seems to be fighting sleep in the day at the moment and I’d quite like to get in to a bit more of a routine as i feel a bit all over the place 😬

How long did everyone wait to have sex? I’m 9 weeks PP and still haven’t, I’m so scared it will hurt

Ok so I’ve always been an under supplier, and I don’t want that to happen this time, I would love some tips or ideas or pumping routine you guys have that helps you guys 😭

I hope this doesn’t come across as negative because it’s not intended to be. I was stuck with contact napping 5 times a day, every hour and a half and it really really got me down. Every post I saw on contact napping always had a comment saying ‘enjoy it, it won’t last forever’. Which may be true for some but I tr...
