How does your toddler sleep abroad?

So we're off on holiday in June and my LO is in a standard single bed which I'm fine with BUT it's quite far off the ground. At home he sleeps in a toddler bed with a rail to make sure he doesn't fall out. How would you recommend having him sleep? We were thinking either putting the mattress on the floor but I can't...

What is my son saying?? 🤣😫

He says "Seebee" or CB, probably 20 times a day, for weeks now. I have no idea what it is and it's driving me mad!! I've thought it's maybe been the following 'Sleepy" 'TV' 'Sheepy' 'PC' which is what he calls PC Selby from Postman Pat. But none of that seems to be right. He hasn't ever watched Cbeebies, so it...

Went in it Friday absolutely fine but since Saturday just screamed his head off in it & again today when he had an appointment.

How many poos a day?

Feared of strangers?

Anyone else's suddenly become feared of strangers/anyone other than parents? Is this normal part of separation anxiety/development? My little boy used to be the most smiley happy baby and would grin at absolutely everyone. Everyone used to comment how smiley he was. Recently if a stranger tries to talk/interact wit...

Anyone else still have their 8 month old in their room?

It makes me feel so sad thinking of him going in his own room 😔 keep putting it off but he will soon out grow his next to me crib. Is it bad I might move his cot-bed into our room? Not sure if that will cause bad habits 🤔

Are American or European car seats safer? I notice in the US there’s an added safety chest clip usually

And while it would take longe to get the child out in an emergency it seems safer I can’t help but think the child always looks like it could fly out through the middle or hurt their back in seats without the chest clip

She’s had reflux before (one of the symptoms), but since being on this formula.. it’s like something else!! 🫣🫣 so much seems to be coming out, it’s not vomit, but still worrying. Has this happened to anyone else’s little one? If so, did…

A positive post

I really hope people take this post as a positive and not that I am bragging or anything. I just find that everytime I come on the internet about anything baby related all I read is negative stuff & it makes me worry & stress and it took over my life when my little girl was first born! She has just turned 5 months ...

Big boobs!!

I’m struggling to find good bras whilst pregnant (29 weeks) and any nursing bras that will support then but also not have underwire. I’m a 36H and even struggling with M&S and just cannot bring myself to spend £50 on one bra when I will need multiple 😭😭

Bedding for King size

Does anyone know where I can get an extra large king size comforter? I get so annoyed because every time I purchase a comforter it barely fits on our bed and after a night of sleeping our sheets are all over the place because my husband gets night terrors occasionally. I don't mind that, but it is a little frustrat...

Wake windows - what to do

My little one is now awake for 2 hours at a time (4 months old) and I don't know what to do with her. We read books, sing and play. She's not able to grab things or roll. I'm finding it hard to fill 2 hours

Stopping sterilising bottles

I know best practice is to sterilise bottles, dummies etc until 12months …. Has anyone stopped sooner? Seems crazy to carry on when their hands / objects / weaning equipment in their mouth constantly? Thoughts …. 💭

Baby #2 after my Aug 2023 baby! First trimester! (Lots of emotions)

I prayed for this baby! I already love our little seed so much! 🤍 May God cover us in strength and protection. Trigger warning (birth trauma): “You’ve done this before”… “you were just pregnant you’re fine”… I am not doing well. Wow, admitting that alone feels good. My husband and I planned this baby…. And yet,…
