Just need some advice or words of encouragement really! I’m a FTM, I’m 8 days PP and planning to go out in public for lunch tomorrow so some family can meet the baby. I’m really excited to get out, but the idea of breast feeding in public is really overwhelming. Particularly in-front of in laws and my partners fami...

I’ve received a letter today for my first smear test. Opening the letter turned my stomach. My daughters nearly 2 and I still haven’t returned to sex as it’s too painful for me I don’t know how I’ll handle a smear. What should I expect?

So as you can imagine, I’m heavily pregnant and maybe most can relate that its a struggle doing the most basic tasks. I’m deep in my nesting phase trying to get prepared for baby and did my first load of her washing today. It took me over half an hour to hang up her tiny clothes and hats etc. My neighbours backing m...

Baby is 10 days old today and cries unless she is held... so I end up holding her on my lap the majority of the day, whilst she feeds or sleeps, then my partner will usually take her and hold her to give me breaks. At night, we've started co sleeping with her on sofa during shifts. As she will not stay down asleep i...

I’ve tried harvesting colostrum for the first time this evening and got the below. Feel quite proud as it’s my first time and think I’ll get a bit better each time. I just have a few questions I’m hoping others can answer… It seems very pale and watery, is this normal? Do I need to use a new syringe everytime, o...

Ladies I’ll be honest, I’m really not enjoying being a mum. My child melts down+++ - they scream ALL the day. They don’t sleep. They don’t feed well. It’s relentless. How do you stop an uncontrollable baby?

Before you start attacking me, I know the safest way for my baby to sleep is flat in his crib without any blankets or pillows, but my baby has been dealing with reflux and it is so frustrating to see him grunting and squirming in his sleep and have doctors tell me my baby is fine. what do you think about this suppos...

Hey my little one is nearly 6 months but she’s just not very chilled, she’s generally good at night but in the day the naps are often non existent and there tends to still be a lot of crying or shouting. The reason I’ve put ‘chilled babies’ is because everyone I’ve spoken to or seen seems to have a chilled baby and ...

Baby’s due in the next 6-7 weeks max when should I start washing clothes and disinfecting bottles/pacifiers

Life of a mum on a feeding plan 🤪 If anyone has any tips on how to survive on low sleep that would be appreciated, only managed 3 hours last night as she decided not to settle between the 2330 and 0230 feed 😳

Was thinking of getting a Moses basket and transferring to cot when too big. I’ve heard a few people say they found the Moses basket didn’t last long at all! Are they any good?

My son is 9 days old and he’s cluster feeding, the boy is insatiable! Every 20/30 minutes he’s searching my chest for milk or screaming for a feed; I’ve been trying a dummy in between to save my boobs from the pain! Has anyone else experienced this? It seems excessive the amount he’s drinking 🫣

Hey girls. I had plan to EB my baby until September and then give her formula. But today when I had to leave her with friend and gave formula we did end up in hospital as she was vomiting and got pale and floppy. Has anyone had this and it was milk allergy/intolerance, as that was only guess doctor told me. Will any...

My 8mo old keeps taking her diaper off when it’s time for bed. She sleeps in a crib across the room. The night before last I heard the Velcro noise from her diaper multiple times but when I looked over in her crib I couldn’t figure out what it was. She had only unfastened one side. Last night however, I heard the no...

How's everyone coping with leap 4? My LG has gone from smiley to demon! She just cries and it's breaking me 😫😕 any tips

My little one, 6 months, wakes up every time I try to put her down for a nap. She is absolutly fine being put down for bed and through the night, she’ll nap in her pram but when I try to put her down in the day she wakes up and stays awake. I do exactly the same thing as what we do at bed time, white noise, sleep sa...

I thought comfort milk was supposed to help with constipation? When I informed my GP I’ve switched my baby to SMA comfort she said no wonder your baby is constipated the formula is a lot more thicker so it would make her constipated.

My baby boy is 2 months old and has began to not want to nap during the day however sleeps beautifully during the night? Is anyone else going through the same thing or knows what to do??
