Hello everyone. My LO is almost 4 months. I am exclusively breastfeeding, and my husband occasionally feeds our baby my frozen pumped milk. I typically pump 50-70 ml per breast. She is gaining weight well, approximately 30–35 g daily. She feeds every 1.5–2 hours, including at night, and I am considering supplementi...

When are you all putting your little ones in their own room? my little one is almost 5 months now and *almost* sleeping through the night. The only problem is that his bedroom is upstairs, while ours is downstairs. when would you suggest we put him in his own room?

If im honest we don't have any specifics that we want in a stroller just wanna see what people recommend :) Actually edit- we do go for a lot of walks so one you can take on all terrains and good going round tight corners would be amazing!

Has anyone sussed out sleep yet 🤣 7 month old, I think has low sleep needs. I've tried following wake windows and it doesn't work. I'm fed up with fighting naps. I follow sleep cues which means she usually do 3hr-4hrs wake time. Most of the time, she will do 2 30mins naps. Sometimes 3 30 mins naps. If she goes…

My baby says “Mama” and “Dadda.” I’m not sure he fully understands what they mean yet, but sometimes he says them at the right moments when he wants his mom or dad. It also sounds like he says “doggy” when he sees the dogs around us. And every once in a while, he’ll say a cute little “Hi!” in the mornings ☀️

Explain diaper sizes to me like I'm stupid 🤦🏼‍♀️. Son is currently 19 lbs and in a size 3. But he's over 12 months obviously so do I wait until he's 27 lbs and move him to size 5 or move him to size 4 when he's over 22? The age thing is what's throwing me as I've never seen that before. Do they make the toddler…

Hi everyone. I’ve finished my NHS antenatal course and there was no information about life once baby is born (e.g. feeding and caring for baby). Does anyone have any recommendations for a free class or resources about this please? I’ve watched some NHS videos on feeding and read general care info online but wonderin...

My 2 1/2 year old son has been waking up the last couple months extremely clingy, if he wakes up when we do he has a meltdown and will throw a huge tantrum if we walk away to go to the bathroom and some days runs into the bathroom trying to climb up onto us. It's been such an exhausting process because we wake up wa...

Just a quick question, I’ve got 9 month old twins girl and boy.

From a mother who has tried weaning their child off mam teats for water for months and has constant guilt (please don’t judge me) I’ve finally found a alternative I think but would you say these are okay for a 16 month old?? He’s started taking to these, dentists does say not to worry too much but the health visitor...

Just curious how often you ladies are feeding baby? Mainly if you breastfeed or pump, my little one is 12 days old and idk if she’s just a good baby(my other girls were so colicky and fussy all the time) but I find she’s eating every 4 hours and sleeps in between, with maybe little spurts of 20-30 minutes being awak...
