Is anyone else’s baby suddenly throwing tantrums? I don’t remember my first born going through this stage but this little one is proving to be very different. Sometimes I’ll try to pick him up and he will throw his body back making it hard to carry him, this is usually when I’m putting him in the pram or when it’s t...

I’ve been putting baby down for naps in the cot for a while to try and help night sleep and it has been working. I actually have nothing to do right now so I tried to breastfeed her and contact nap but she was so hyper on me. I put her in the cot and she protested for a minute then fell asleep. I know this is a win ...

What’s some tips & tricks if you have gone through this ? My first baby I had it really bad but I didn’t know what to do to control it, aside from smoking a cigarette and taking a breather. I’m finding that this time around I was fine but having that anger come back around 2 months after having the baby. I feel b...

My little one is nearly 13 months and we still haven’t had a letter for her jabs. Is this normal??

So we’ve been pretty loyal Honest customers… my son has always been one size up from the recommended sizes as he’s a 95th percentile baby. He’s only 17 months old and Honest diapers don’t go up to size 7 overnights (which I think is absolutely ridiculous considering they have size 7 regular diapers). He has been soa...

Hello all, my daughter turned 1 two weeks ago, before she was 1 she was able to stand up by herself, walk along the sofa by herself, walk with her walker and walk whilst holding my hand/hands, now she’s turned 1 i’ve tried to do a lot more walking with her and it just seems that we are in the same place as we was a ...

LB is in so much discomfort after each feed, showing all the signs for CMPA and silent reflux, has trouble passing wind and becomes constipated, formular fed. We have tried everything.

How was your babies after 3 set of injections? My boy has his today. He was fine with the first 2 sets but just wondering how others have reacted to them so I know what to look out for?

I’m with my baby 24/7 Does anyone else get overstimulated or overwhelmed when their baby cries and whines and you don’t what they want. I want to put my daughter is daycare but my partner won’t let me because his fear of something wrong happening but I’m with my daughter 24/7 and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten an h...

I’m sharing just because a lot of mums with toddler’s my son’s age didn’t know this. Now they’re all getting chickenpox and it looks horrific! It’s not on the NHS routine vaccination schedule yet so you have to pay about £75 per dose for two doses, however it pays for itself in terms of the time your child will be ...

Which toothbrush and toothpaste do you use for 8 month old? I didn't realise we were supposed to be brushing so early 🫢 (he's got a tooth and a half 😅)

My 3 month old has been super fussy and hungry lately - past week or so. He is going less than 2 hours with formula - I’m reading they should be going 3-4 hours at this age. He won’t eat any more than 120ml unless at night when he will happily have 150ml. I’m at my wits end and can’t get anything done cause he w...

Can anyone recommend good baby monitors? The ones we have were cheaper VTEC ones from John Lewis (just audio) and half the time they don't pick up when he stirs or cries! 🤦‍♀️ Thanks in Advance x

My son started saying mama around 9 months old and now says dada and nana however he says these all day for a few days and then will stop and start saying it again. I haven’t heard him say any of these for the past couple of weeks. Is this common? I worry as my older son has autism and regressed with all speech ...

Does anyone use baby tooth paste for their LO that doesn’t need to be spat out ?

My 1 year old has had all of her up to date baby vaccinations - MMR etc. She is such a happy baby & she hardly ever cries. Once she had these injections, it’s changed her drastically. She was so unhappy, she cried & cried, She had no temp but did have a reaction on her leg. My mind set now is not wanting her to...

Can anyone recommend a lightweight foldable bouncer? One that doesn’t require batteries.

My 9 week old is very grumpy and tired today, do we think this is weather related or a coincidence? Our house stays relatively cool thankfully, she's only wearing a thin sleepsuit and I don't think she's too hot (certainly isn't clamy on her neck anyway). She's sleeping a lot on me and I'm worried that my body heat ...
