Running out of things to say!

4months in with my first baby and as a SAHM we spend about 10hours a day awake together. I know talking to her is important for her development but maybe I’m taking it too seriously? Like should I really be talking to her at every waking second? Because I am running out of things to say sometimes 😂 If I’m doing…

Fast let-down

Hi mamas, I’ve noticed that one of my breasts has a fast let-down, and my little one struggles to feed on that side because of the strong flow. Sometimes he starts crying, and I see milk leaking from all sides even with a deep latch. It really hurts to see him struggle, so I switch sides, but this makes the other si...

Stroller recommendations

Hello! Needing some help in finding stroller recommendations for holidays. My LO will be 4 months when we go on our first holiday. I have seen some strollers which are really nice but can’t seem to justify paying £200+ for one?!😳 any recommendations would be really helpful thank you

Circumcision Help

We plan to circumcise our newborn son. I’ve heard that it helps to cover their penis in Vaseline or something to prevent it from sticking to their diaper, which can cause bleeding. I want to prevent discomfort if I can. What do you recommend we use for this? Will coconut oil work well? I’ve considered Vaseline, Aqua...

Double buggy recommendations or do we even need one?

I have my first born who's 2 at the start of June and we are expecting our 2nd in late October. What double buggy would you recommend or do we even need one? I'm thinking we will need one at least for a bit as if we go on long walks he'll need to sit down

15 month sleep

Anyone else struggling with little one at night sleeping around 15 months?! She’s been a really good sleeper since 12 months and started sleeping through, now she’s up 1-2 times crying, making animal noises, talking, shouting mama and dada and requesting milk (she hasn’t had milk at night since 12 months). Is any on...

How are we all handing the sleeping situation with newborns and husbands going to work? Separate rooms? and if separate rooms, are you then sleeping together on the weekends?

Do you have a good sleeper or bad sleeper?

We had it rough with our toddler so I genuinely thought this baby would be the opposite and be good, especially as he’s a boy and everyone said boys are better sleepers!

Formula pushing

Reflux/silent reflux

Anyone else’s newborn suffering? I feel so sad for her and to watch her struggle and feel like it’s so common yet I have nobody to talk to about it! I’ve done so much research about it, yet there really is no support when it comes to mums seeing their baby in pain!

Sleep time

Does anyone else still go to bed when their baby does? I have always gone to bed when my daughter does because that way I could maximize my sleep. However, she goes to bed around 7-8pm and whilst I'm tired then and do sleep, it feels I'm missing time with my husband as he often gets home at 6.30. My husband sleeps ...

If you're a zen chill mom with a toddler are you on an antidepressants?

I only ask because when ever I talk to moms who let all the little things roll off of then. Not stressing about sleep, picky eating or erratic toddler behavior, they're always on an antidepressant.. do you feel the medication numbs the experience of motherhood to barely levels?
