How can I get my baby down to nap in his next to me during the day? My LB (4.5m old) has always been quite good at sleeping in his next to me during the night. He’s going through a sleep regression at the moment but he eventually will sleep for a few hours in his next to me at night. During the day is another stor...

Haven't mastered this yet...?!

Do you have to get the next to me bedding for the brand of cot ? Or can you get any next to me bedding

So I used to be close friends with this girl, but then she just suddenly stopped speaking to me. She’s now recently revealed she’s pregnant with her first. I was initially confused, as the last time we spoke she was in a relationship with a girl, upon investigating (Facebook stalking), I’ve discovered she’s married ...

My daughter is constipated and crying with it what can I do to help?

How long does everyone's lo nap for? If we aren't doing anything in the day, he will have one nap after lunch and it can be up to 3 hours long. I worry this is too long but we have no issues with him sleeping through the night and if I try to adjust, I'm afraid this will mess up his night sleep and I'm quite enjoyin...

I’m expecting a baby and I’m with boyfriend at his mothers. He only has a small box room (bedroom) . I will have to stay for a little while before getting a place off my own. Any ideas for bed space as well as cot etc and storage. Please no judgement it’s only until we can get a place off our own.

My mother in law has bought my 15 week old baby a doorway bouncer. I don’t want my baby using this until they’re a bit older (6+ months) I don’t feel comfortable saying anything to her but I don’t want my child using it just yet. What can I do? I’m not a strict parent, but I’m just not comfortable with that yet from...

My husband and I finally did the deed last night for the first time since my son was born. And the condom BROKE! I am almost 4 months PP, still exclusively breastfeeding, and haven't gotten my period yet. I read that I can still get pregnant. I am not physically or mentally ready to be pregnant again. I've never tak...

Is it abusive for a husband to break a plate out of anger? I was trying to argue without yelling and get my point across tonight and he started talking over the top of me and swore and started yelling and when I asked him to stop he bared his teeth in anger and put the knife down so hard he broke a plate. All becaus...

How many naps do your 8 months old have ? Mine still goes 3/4 never slept through the night but gets cranky if he doesn’t nap, MIL keeps telling me to drop naps so he will sleep through the night

Has anyone else’s little ones behaviour just become so bad out of the blue!? Everything is no, I don’t like it, I don’t want to, even things I know he wants! I’m finding it really hard to keep calm when it’s from 6am to 7pm every day, defiance and tantrums ramped up, I thought it was meant to ease off not get worse…

How quickly does milk supply replenish after expressing? I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding for 5 weeks but started expressing as I have a few days where I’m working and needed to build a supply. However, little one is cluster feeding so finding it really hard to squeeze the time in to express and wanted to ens...

So once my little girl got up to birth weight, the midwife told me that if she’s sleeping longer stretches at night, not to wake her up and to just let her sleep. So I’ve been doing that (and appreciating the extra sleep at night) but now I face a good three hours in the morning where she just feeds constantly! She ...

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this but I have an eighteen month old boy and we’ve just seen the health visitor about some concerns I had regarding his speech and some behaviours he exhibits which can be early signs of autism. She did an assessment and said that I was right he is delayed in certain are...

I managed to ebf my first, who's now 5, for about 8 months before making the switch to formula. He fed every hour during the day and every 2 hours at night, it was exhausting and hard work. It was, however, lockdown so there wasn't much else I could do anyway so I just rode it out with him until I couldn't take it a...

Hello, I have exclusively BF the whole time and have slowing weaned my baby off the boob to 1 feed a day - the morning feed. (Around 5am) The only other milk feed is before bed which is formula.

My two month old is a decent sleeper for the first stretch of the night. We don't have problems putting her down for the night and the first stretch is usually around 3-5 hours. But the second stretch is rubbish. Last night we put her down at 10pm and she woke up at 4:30am. I gave her 3oz (offered 5oz) she fell ba...
