This 4 month regression is completely taking it out of me. My little one is up every hour/hour and a half. By the time I’ve settled her and got back to sleep myself she is up again. I can’t help but feel frustrated but then I feel so guilty as I know she can’t help it and it’s only normal for this stage in her life....

Hi gang, My baby is 11 weeks so still a little way to go before teeth start coming through but I’m dreading it a little. I had such a hard time with nipple pain due to poor latching because he was so small when he was born. He’s much better now and I’m experiencing virtually no pain from breastfeeding but nipples ...

I posted about my 21 month old suddenly refusing sleep both nap and bedtime a few days ago. Well now she’s “sleeping” but doing it on the side of the crib. (Pic included) she’ll jerk herself awake but instead of laying down in the crib she just stays on the side. For naps I just let it happen but for bedtime I will ...

When my baby breastfeeds he's got a clicking sound when he sucks. Not all the time, but enough times to notice. I have to really try quite a few times to get the latch properly to not hear clicking. Is this normal, purely coz of a bad latch or is this a sign of something else like tongue tie?

Has anyone been able to revert their babies bottle preference? My girl is 12 weeks old and she recently (as of two weeks) has wanted a bottle too up! She’s progressively latching on my breast for shorter and shorter amounts of time before she literally won’t latch anymore as if shes full and doesn’t want but I know ...

My twins were born in March and my little boy tonight had been hysterically crying for 30 mins now!! I’ve given ibuprofen, me abd my husband are taking it in turns to cuddle him. I ran down and made him some warm cows milks, I’ve never had him cry like this for this long!! He stopped to drink the milk and went strai...

She was OK but then 20 mins later started struggling to breathe and her oxygen dropped to 50 percent, she was rushed to neonatal and had help In the high dependency unit with oxygen and medicine int...

My little one has developed now to wake every hour at night. We never had this issue before, she is around 5 and a half months old. We are used to her doing 7pm-7am with around 1 or 2 bottle feeds. I’m not sure if it’s sleep regression, or if she is getting separation anxiety from now being in her own room. She has ...

I’m due end of June and one of my best friends (I’m in her wedding) is having her bachelorette party Labor Day weekend, so the first weekend of September. I know most of the girls going including two of my cousins, but I’m wondering if ~2 months is too soon to leave baby? I’m not planning breast feeding & I know my ...

Family kissing baby *only* a few times on face. But, how to tell them to politely stop. It’s our first baby. 🙂

So my son woke up at 9am. YESTERDAY. He has not slept nor taken a nap all day yesterday. He was falling asleep laying on me at one point around 5ish, and then when I attempted to get up to go upstairs to put him in his cot, he woke up. 😭 he has got to be completely exhausted because I know I am. I'm not sure what…

Random but am I the only one who finds the 5 little ducks song a bit traumatic? Lol my 10 year old nephew hears it for the first time on Easter and he was like “where is this going” 😂

I am suffering! My 8 month old won’t sleep unless she’s in my arms. Every time I put her down she just starts screaming! I’ve been trying to get her to settle and sleep for 2 & half hours now. How do I sleep train her? Also we got her a new cot today because she was constantly waking herself up because of lack of s...
