What is going on!? 🤦🏾‍♀️🫣

It seems from posts on this group a lot of babies have gone off their milk! I thought it was just my son and started to get a lil worried as he usually LOVES it but seems like I’m far from the only one going through this atm 🫠

Breastfeeding

When does the pain go away? When baby first latches on the pain is horrible, it goes away after a minute & my nipples aren’t cracked so I know it’s not my latching but I’m getting a sore neck from tensing up because of the pain

5 month old sleep issues

I’m losing my mind. I’m burning out. I need help. What we used to do - She would feed to sleep, then I’d move her onto my chest with a dummy and she’d sleep. She’d wake up after 30mins cycle and I’d soothe her back to sleep. I’d then place her in her cot and she’s go to sleep. Wake up twice in the night for a feed...

Mixed Hair Care

My little one is 11months old and has mixed hair texture, it's very curly and quite thick. I've tried different products and honestly not 100% sure what i am doing anymore, and recently he cries if I even try to do anything with his hair. Like to the point if I've started to try and style it and I literally touch hi...

Nappy sizes

Hi all, my LO is 5months and weighs 6.9kg. She's in size 3 nappies which say they are for 6-10kg. Recently though they look a bit small, we've had more leaks too. Size 4 is from 9kg though so I'm not sure if I should size up yet? Anyones LO a similar weight and already in size 4?

Bottle teat size

What teat size do people use to give their breastfed baby? She’s 5 months and currently on a size 1 and has been since we intrusive a bed time bottle. However, she has recently started to refuse bottles and we aren’t sure if this is because the flow is too slow so is getting bored and would need to size up? Has anyo...

How often does your breastfeed baby feed during the day?

My baby is 6 weeks and generally feeds every 2 hours during the day but then sometimes she will go 3+ hours without feeding and I’m wondering if that’s okay?

Sleep Training

Just had a call with a sleep consultant who basically helps you identify your babies cries when they are trying to sleep. It feels a bit close to ‘cry it out’ for me but also, I think it would be SO beneficial to identify cries as I run around like a headless chicken most days trying to work out what to do. Anyone...

Devil child (I’m joking)

But seriously, anyone else got one? I used to laugh when people said their baby’s would tantrum (expecting to not have to deal with it until terrible 2’s) My baby was a literal angel, so happy all the time. Everyone commented. This weekend complete change, still happy but has learnt anger, so will “cry” but it’...
