Baby boys

Hello mamas! For those of you that had boys and did not circumcise, have you started pulling the skin back yet? Last time I took my baby to the pediatrician at about a month and 1/2, she said he was still too little and “it wasn’t time yet”. I’m not a first time mom but am a first time boy mom so I have no experienc...

4 month sleep regression

Currently in week 3 of terrible sleep. My baby will sleep in his crib at the start of the night for about an hour and a half and then after that won’t settle in the crib at all so my husband and I are having to take turns staying awake while he sleeps on us. We’ve been trying to put him in his crib for daytime naps...

Tantrums

My daughter has started to throw tantrums. She’s screaming, throwing things and hitting things. I’ve tried validating her feelings and then trying to offer her other things to do but it only makes her more angry. Has anyone else’s 1 yr old started having tantrums? If so, what are yall doing to get them out of a tant...

Any advice to encourage a healthy sleeping arrangement for my little family of 3?

Me and my partner haven’t slept in the same bed for a year now. Since being pregnant as he didn’t like the pregnancy pillow. (I personally loved it as it meant I weren’t being edged off the bed every night) 😂 he would sleep on the sofa in the living room He tends to sleep later than me anyway and as we were…

Anemia

Did anyone have a low hemoglobin after surgery? Mine was low and needed an iron transfusion. If so how long did it take for you to recover? I am 6 weeks PP and having my first period and I feel like I’m going to collapse at the end of the day my bleeding is worse than after delivery

Momcozy S12 Pro

I’ve been 13 months exclusively breastfeeding. But I have a close friend who’s struggling to provide enough milk for her daughter so I’ve started pumping to give her some of my oversupply. I recently got the Momcozy s12 pro and have an insert but I’m struggling to get the same output I would get from my medela hand ...

lunch before or after nap?

Are you doing lunch before or after the one nap? What time do your babies wake up and go to bed? Can you drop a sample schedule. My daughter’s second wake window seems to be a lot longer than the first wake window so we do lunch after the one nap. Any time I have offered before nap she seems to fall asleep as lunch ...

Anyone else’s 18 month old not sleep through the night??

Is anyone’s little one still getting up a few times a night?? He’s 2 end of the year. People seemed shocked of how much my kids don’t actually sleep and most people I know kids slept really well… I’ve not had this experience with both my kids. Literally it’s 2am and my little boy had been up since 12. I feel like I ...

Sleeping through the night / breastfeeding

I don’t want to jinx it, my my daughter has slept through the night for three night in a row now. She’s 3 months old. I keep waking up for when her nighttime feeds would have been which is frustrating but more so I’m not quite sure whether I’m doing the right thing in terms of my milk supply. I tried to hand express...

Night out

I have a 3 month old. I went out from 7pm-11pm the other night. I breastfed him and I pumped like 2oz before I left. I set out 1oz bottle that was frozen and he wouldn’t eat it but he ate the 2oz. My mom said he was really fussy and seems like he just wanted the boob. It just worries me he only ate 2oz or is that no...

Lotion

Hi! First time mom and it looks like my baby is breaking out to the Aveeno baby lotion I’ve been using on him. Anyone have any better brands to suggest? Or does anyone have any easy breast milk lotion recipes??

Switching baby from car seat to regular stroller

My son is turning one in a few days and I’m wondering what age do you stop connecting the car seat to the stroller and start using the stroller regularly.

Breastfeeding/bottle

I plan on breastfeeding and was wondering when baby would be able to use a bottle if dad is taking care of baby if I was ever gone. If breastfeeding goes well, I don’t want to mess up the process if introduced to a bottle.

Sleeping through the night

So my baby is able to fall asleep independently from being fully awake to asleep at the beginning of the night - usually with this pacifier but sometimes even if it falls out. We do a routine every night, sleep sack, sound machine, black out curtains and he is awake for 2-3 hours before bed. He naps for 30-45 min 3 ...

Not crawling or pulling to stand

Am I the only one with a baby who’s not crawling or pulling to stand yet? I’m a bit (very) anxious about it, especially when I see everyone’s baby crawling and starting to stand.

Naps

How long are your babies napping for? Mine wakes up at 29 mins on the dot unless she’s asleep on me!

How long are you letting baby nap during the day?

Do you ever wake your baby up from a nap? I've heard that they shouldn't have any longer than 2 hours (which is very rare for my LO anyway), but I've also heard I should be capping naps at 1 hour and 15-30 mins, so much conflicting advice that it's very confusing!
