So my LG had a really really unsettled day yesterday and seemed colicky and was very unhappy most of the day. She then slept really well and today is super sleepy. She’s fed well and only woken for feeds, Is it normal for them to maybe have a sleepier day after a day of restlessness? I don’t want to complain she’s...

How do you give milk to your toddlers? In a cup or bottle and how often? My toddler is 2.5yrs and has milk X3 a day. As soon as she wakes up early she asks for it, during afternoon nap and then bedtime. She has it in a bottle.

My hair is in desperate need of a good chop, I was about to book a last minute appointment before baby came along but then he arrived that same day! So now I'll have to take him along - is that ok?!

Any advice…. My baby won’t sleep in the day time unless being held. If we go out in the pram for a walk he will sleep but as soon as we get home he wakes, he’ll sleep in the car but I don’t want to have to go out every time to get him to sleep. He sleeps in his next to me crib absolutely fine at night but day time ...

I’ve been emailed this as a rough schedule for 3 month olds and god I’d be wining if he napped for that long!😂 usually he wakes around 6:30 will be awake till 8:30. All His naps last around 30 mins MAX! He feeds 4-5oz every 2 maybe 2.5 hours 😅 until his last nap around 5/5:30 then I keep him awake until bath at…

FTM 24 weeks, Nipples feel dry and sore, has anyone started using nipple cream already? Which one?

My family and I have recently moved house but the bathroom only has a walk in shower. We bought a portable bathtub from b&m but my daughter seems to just slip in there and I find it really difficult to bathe her on my own. The shower has a temperature gauge so can I hold her in the shower with me one handed and wash...

I’m not sure if this is cradle cap or not. Shes almost 11 months old and has had it almost her whole life. I’ve got a scalp massager and i gently comb through with a headlice comb but i can’t get it off. Her hair is quite thick so you can’t really see it but would like it gone. Any ideas?

My usually PERFECT sleeping toddler has taken a strange turn over the past couple of weeks. Going down to sleep is taking hours and results in full blown meltdowns, not to mention staying asleep through the night has now turned into 2-4 wakes (not for long though). For those who have experienced something similar,...

Hi, my baby is a little over a year and we’ve been introducing her to cows milk. She has no issues taking the bottle or anything but it’s been causing constipation. Has anyone else had this issue ? What did you do?

Has anyone had thrush on their nipples/ baby had oral thrush and it made their baby not feed properly. I think we may have it (docs booked for later) but not sure what to do in the meantime as he isn’t feeding well. We already top up with expressed milk as he lost weight when he was born but do I just give a bit mor...

Does anyone cap their little ones naps? My baby has reduced night sleep to 9-9.5 hours. Usually gets that less if daytime sleep is 2.5 hours which I didn’t think is a lot tbh. Baby is 10 months old

I've been hearing about these at playgroup. I looked them up and they are kind of pricy $$ but if it'll get my babe to engage in listening to stories I'll talk to my husband about getting one.

I really want to use reusable nappies for my baby, but my partner is very disgusted by the idea and I don't know if I will be able to change his mind. Is anyone else thinking of using reusable nappies? Or already had experience with this? Should I just accept that I will be the one cleaning the nappies? Don't know w...

How are you transitioning your little one out of the swaddle? My baby loved being swaddled but he rolled over on his own yesterday. I have the halo swaddle and I just have one arm out, started doing during his naps but he usually naps on his swing, being supervised. He just woke up to feed but I’m having a hard time...

First time mumma’s, when are we buying things like furniture, pushchairs etc etc I’m 20 weeks, so far all I’ve really bought for baby girl is some clothes😂

Anyone else’s baby irritable but sleeping more in the heat?

My 12 week old literally refuses to nap anywhere other than my arms. I’m all for a contact nap but it means I pretty much can’t go out. He won’t sleep in the pram anymore, I’ve just taken him out at nap time for 90 mins and not a single wink of sleep! Won’t sleep in the car either, even if he drifts off he just wak...

Hi! This will be my second baby and my youngest will be 21 months when baby is born. Honest opinions would you but a double pram(looking at a second hand one from someone we know) or would you see it as a waste of money and go for something like a buggy board or uptown rider? My partner seems to think the uptown ri...
