My first son was similar he loved sleep. I know it’s early days still and prob should wake him every 3 hours?

Dummy

My lo will sometimes use the dummy and sometimes hates it. I’m thinking of removing it before he becomes dependant as I’d rather he didn’t have it. I’m just unsure of how I’d then settle without it as my first born always had a dummy. Those who don’t use dummies, what do you do to help settle??

I don’t want to oversupply just to produce enough to feed my daughter and perhaps bag bit for when I go back to work. Currently pumping around 8-10 ti...

Should adults have to pay for Soft play?

I wanted to book my son's birthday party at a soft play near us and tell me why I need to pay almost £10 for each extra parent that comes. That's ridiculous!! They are running around and playing and this package didn't include food.

If you live in apartments, can you hear your neighbors having sex?

I don’t mean to bash/judge my neighbor for her sex life, she’s a single woman in her early 50’s but I can hear her moaning & it makes me uncomfortable that her bedroom shares a wall with my toddler’s room. Anyone else deal with a similar situation?

What happened to my 8 months old? She's always been a good sleeper at night, always been happy to sleep in her bed/bedroom. Since a week, she is a different baby.
