I ebf and my LO keeps biting me during nursing and it HURTS! I understand he’s teething atm but seriously ouch. I tell him off and say “No biting” or “Ow” naturally and he still continues to do it every feed. I want to throw in the towel so badly but I also don’t at the same time 😭 I’ve offered him teething toys…

Last few weeks my son just wants me to carry him everywhere! He won’t walk up and down the stairs without being carried, I have to carry him into nursery, we go for a walk and half way round he wants carried. It’s soooo annoying. He’s so heavy. If I say no he gets really upset. Any ideas why he’s doing this now?!

I’m currently EBF my 6 week old but my GP wants to rule out a milk allergy due to a few issues he has been having ( skin rash that raises when feeding, gassy, struggling to pass wind, struggling to poo without help, mucous in poo, green poo, tiny tiny spots of blood in poo, a lot of straining and crying ) because I...

She had a baby april 8th and we have been talking all day every since but she hasn't messaged me back since Sunday and I'm getting worried about her I've texted so many times and even called she lives two hours away and I don't have a car so I can't go to her house I'm worried and don't know what to do

Anyone’s toddler takes ages to sleep? Mine takes about 2 hours every night from bath time, book time to actually falling asleep. He refuses to go in his cot before he’s almost asleep and it has to be me not his dad. He’s very cute and cuddly but it’s really exhausting! I have a full time job and he goes to nursery 4...

I mostly BF and give bottles at night/morning but for some reason this week my baby is getting so fussy and won’t take boob as easily during day! She’s 11 weeks and I’m scared she’s not getting enough. In the middle the night time and morning she takes boob fine but during the day and right before bed she fusses! No...

I have fraternal twin girls, 22 months old. The older twin, who is slightly taller and heavier than her sister, keeps pinning down and biting her sister when they are alone in their room for either nap time or bed time. We just transitioned from cribs to floor beds about a month ago so this is pretty new freedom to ...

Is there a medication that you can give to a baby (7 months ) to help with calmness and reduce hyperactivity/helping them with sleep?

Hello I recently stopped using our love to dream swaddle as baby is showing signs of rolling, so thought I'd get ahead of the game. Did well with on arm out so did the other the next night and seemed all good! However since I've had 2 rough nights, every time I lay him down he keeps rubbing his eyes and therefore ...

So when my toddler has a bath, I’ve always just had to do it that I kinda fill up a jug and pour it over her head as I just can’t get her to either stay still, or keep her head back. I hate doing that though as it all goes in her eyes and stuff! I immediately dry her face with a towel but I feel so bad. I’ve tried t...

So baby was born 27th April and my milk has come in today (30th) been breastfeeding and latch etc is all good just today finding them to feel like they are going to explode, scared to pump as I've heard it can make your body think it needs to generate more...any suggestions to ease the swelling?

How many ml are you formula feeding your 3months olds? And how often?

My girl is 7 weeks old and it’s about 22–24 degrees in our bedroom. What should she be sleeping in as I do y want her to overheat x

My baby is 3 months now and has learned to roll from belly to back and it's recommended to stop swaddling when baby is showing signs of rolling, but if she isn't swaddled she won't sleep. I'm having to still swaddle her during the day so she can nap and she's been cosleeping with me at night because she's now refusi...

Those of you who have got your LO in a routine, what does your day look like in terms of feeds and sleeps? And what does your bedtime routine look like?

My baby woke up with a stuffy nose today, his dad has been dealing with a sinus infection so I’m a little worried. He doesn’t have a fever, I’ve used the aspirated in him and got some boogers out the first time but haven’t gotten anything new out. I have a doctor’s appointment for tomorrow morning. But wanted to see...

Can someone please recommend a stroller suitable for a 5 month old that fits in Ryanair’s overhead locker. I’m struggling to find one that fits their height requirements once folded. Preferably not too expensive either! Thank you x

Anyone’s 9 month old on one nap?

Last night he went to bed at 8 PM, woke up at midnight, and then continued waking up every 2 hours until morning. The night before, he woke up at 2 AM and didn’t fall back asleep until 4 AM. Today, it’s almost 9 PM and he still hasn’t slept. When I talk to people about this, they immediately say, “You need to creat...
