Please can I have any recommendations for the best lightweight (for this heat!) wrap style baby carriers? Currently have a boba which is ok but a bit warm!

Baby waking

My son has been constantly waking up throughout the night because he sits up in his sleep and cries and then wakes himself. Sometimes he’ll lay back down and go to sleep, sometimes I have to physically lay him down but that usually results in more crying and then I end up picking him up which I feel like has become ...

We're working on our latch and have had a tongue tie revision but with there being lots of damage they're still really sore (can't currently put her on my right boob it's that bad), wondering if anyone had any healing tips (using Lans...

Cluster feeding?

Baby is 1 week old, he will literally feed and then just go on to the other boob and do this all night.. he slept 1.30-3.30 but thats it? The rest of the time he won't settle and will be constantly feeding, is this normal?! Shattered mommy here..

Baby cried hysterically for 2h last night until i put him in my bed

My son is little over 8m now and has never slept well, but recently he wakes up hysterically crying and would not be put down. Last night the only thing that worked is getting him in our bed which is a habit we eliminated a couple of weeks ago. Is that another sleep regression? Is it separation anxiety? Does it go a...

Morning wriggles

I know it’s normal for babies to wriggle and grunt in the early hours but at what point are you tending to them? My LO isn’t crying but sounds really frustrated and will eventually properly wake up. I don’t know if I should wait until he gets a bit upset to go to him coz im doubtful he’d ever fall back asleep on his...

Waking up before 6am

Anyone else?

LO is 11 weeks. She sleeps well in her next to me crib for the first part of the night eg 8:30pm-1am but 1am onwards she feeds frequently (or just uses me as a human dummy), and hates being put down in her next to me crib. So I find myself having to nurse her pretty much all the time to soothe her. She won’t take a ...

Areolas have bumps on them that aren’t red/white headed but if I pop them this white waxy ball stuff comes out. They never go away and just fill up with white again. They don’t hurt. I never breastfed but they’ve been there since birth.

It’s been many years now.

Jealous mom

I’m a first time mom to my sweet 6 weeks old boy, I HATE when someone carries him other than me and his dad, I get really mad and you can notice by my face but I swear is not intentional, it’s just something inside of me, my MIL loves him and if it was for her she would be in my house 24/7, at some point I felt like...
