Hello! I’m new here and 16 weeks pregnant of my first baby :) I was curious to know.. what is the first item you have bought for your baby?

My baby is 5 weeks and I exclusively pump so he has only ever had breastmilk. Today has been day 3 (I think) of no poos, just very small smudges when we wipe during nappy changes. He has been passing wind. He is a little refluxy so not totally unusual to be fussy after feedings however he has been more so in these l...

6 mo fell off the bed when dad accidentally fell asleep with her on the edge, our bed is like a foot/foot and a half off the ground it’s really low down. She has her bottom two teeth and the top gum seems to have been cut (the top two are coming in rn) and she was bleeding. She has a bit of a bump on her head. She w...

Hey mommas my best friend is at Oakland Cali currently .. she’s struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety but since she’s Hispanic our culture don’t believe in that nor believe in mental illnesses..her mans aunt kicked her and her man out with their 8 month old baby today .. and she’s also currently preg...

This is the first year since the birth of our first child that we’re putting up our Christmas tree so I’m buying the keepsake ornaments for each of our girls’ births. My first pregnancy was a twin pregnancy and we unfortunately lost twin A. It was pretty hard on us but due to others it became a lot harder. I want to...

Cluster feeding… can varying from every half an hour to hourly. Nighttime’s are so hard, constant changing nappy, feeding (BF), burping (if hasn’t then can’t lie down as sick) Then try settle her and the cycle has already began again. So sleep deprived helppp

Hi everyone, I have been very lucky with my supply of breast milk - so much so that I have absolutely loads of it in my freezer and it keeps on coming. I know I will use some of it but I am overrun with it to be honest and am just wondering if anyone knows where you can donate it or how that can be done? I live in M...

My baby is 3 weeks old and seems to cry all night long even when all his needs have been met. I've tried Infacol and Dentinox colic drops and nothing seems to be helping. It's my second baby. He's fed expressed breast milk in a MAM bottle and has Kendamil formula. I'm up crying as well because I just don't know wh...

He goes to bed around 7-7:30pm but wakes at 5am and only has about 9hrs every night (with wakings & he’s breast fed.) He point blank refuses to go back to sleep at 5. He’s just wide awake chatting 😅 any one else? What can I do? 😴

I have an 8 month old, and she is on 3 meals a day and 5 bottles of 5 ounces. The health visitor has asked me to reduce her milk, but she is still hungry! I feel awful like I'm over feeding her but she obviously wants more milk. For context they have asked me to reduce milk due to LG not crawling or showing any sig...

Did you ladies circumcise your boys ? My hubby didn’t want to and I respected his decision. I respect everyone’s opinion because both have good reasonings but why did or did you not ?

My baby is 1 month today and waking up every 1.5-2 hours for feeding who else is?

Just looking for some advice, my daughter is 5 months old and sleep in a sleep suit at night and still contact naps in the day. If I put her down without being swaddled or if her arms are out in her sleep suit, she’ll just wake up. She’s always been very handsy and always touches her face or pulls her dummy from her...

WHY WHY WHY is my baby waking up at half 3 and babbling away until now this is the third night in a row of this and she will still wake up at the usual time of 8 to start the day I AM SO TIREDDDD!!!!

So we’ve got a little problem on our hands. Past 2/3 weeks my daughter who’s 16m old has been slapping me and only me. Not dad or grandparents or anyone else. A little confused on where she got this behaviour from as I’m sure she hasn’t seen it or we don’t let her watch violent stuff. She does it all the time. If sh...

Hi, just given birth with forceps delivery to a 9.5lbs baby and ended up with episiotomy and grade 4 tear. Wondering if anybody has any tips for recovering, when to start doing pelvic floor exercises etc Any advice appreciated!

Any advice on how to stop breastfeeding! My lo is nearly 8 months and is combi fed. He breastfeeds once in the morning and all night long (which is mainly the reason I want to transition fully onto bottle) I feel like I’m really mentally struggling with the lack of sleep and have tried absolutely everything else. He...

What are your wake windows if your little one is on 2 naps? And how long are they napping for? My little girl gets tired after 3 hours absolutely maximum! She has an older brother so we have to get out and do things, could it be the extra stimulation makes her more tired? She also wakes at 6am most mornings so ...

Does anyone have any advice on how to get my 20 month old to sleep in near to breaking point. He shares with his 4 year old brother who sleeps through the night but he is he every half an hour screaming😩 I’m also six months pregnant. We are in a small flat so the cry it out method is unfair on our neighbours and…

Baby is 4 weeks today and won’t sleep unless he is on his stomach against my chest. How do I get him to nap/sleep at night in his bassinet without screaming crying?
