A few months ago my son started doing this eye thing where he looks up and then to the side, then in the past month he keeps p...

Feeding

Hi all Hope everyone is coping with motherhood. My little boy is 6 weeks on Monday and we are having a few issues feeding. I was breast feeding him for the first month with no issues then a growth spurt hit and I wasn’t producing enough for him so we moved on to bottles as well. Now he is thriving on the formula mi...

Seems to not want to sleep

My baby turned 5 weeks and now he won’t sleep like before. He seems to fight sleep and is overly tired. Seems like he’s constantly trying to push as well. It’s tiring! Anyone else experience this or can share some words of wisdom. Thanks mama’s ♥️

Am I overreacting?

I haven’t seen my best friend since telling her I was pregnant in October (currently 38+1). Last I heard from her was 2 months ago when she said she wouldn’t be able to make it to my baby shower. She explained that her grandma was being moved into a care home and things were hectic. Of course I completely understand...

Is anyone else’s 2 year old still using a pacifier for sleep only?

If so when do you plan on getting rid of it and how? Sleep has been good for us for a while now and I’m terrified to mess it up since I’m also pregnant🙃

Same time everyday same feeling

Since I’ve given birth to my daughter I get this massively overwhelming feeling that starts around 5/6pm every day. It’s like a massive cloud over my head. I get emotional, stressed, anxious. It causes me to think about things that don’t matter. It’s when the major mum guilt thoughts enter my head over my toddler. I...

Sound sensitive naps

It was starting to get very hard but has recently improved to put down my LO for naps. 🤞🏼 Is it detrimental that I’m trying to put her down in dark and quiet rooms? Idk how to balance the everyday normal, while she is going through a fussy phase.

Colostrum harvesting

I’m 37 weeks tomorrow and going to start colostrum harvesting if I can. Tried manipulating my breasts and find it’s not the most comfortable experience. Does anyone else find that or is that just me? Does it work and how long does it take?

Judgement

Choosing not to vaccinate my baby in the UK and don’t know anyone else personally that has made this decision. We are getting a lot of backlash and I find it hard to remember statistics and facts when trying to defend our decision (not that we need to). Does anyone have anything simple that they say as to why they h...
