Hey mama's I've been having to take iron supplements, and well, that causes constipation, and I haven't found anything that actually works for any recommendations? I haven't pooped in almost 5 days 😩

I know some people are just born blessed. With my first I dealt with bad PPD, so I definitely slacked my responsibilities with pumping on time. This ontop of not feeding myself the best made it so I only breastfed a little over two months. I’m due again in august this year and I am determined to be the breastfeeding...

Has everyone’s little ones got their pre school immunisation? And were they fine afterwards?

Little one had her 12 week jabs today and I've been nap trapped for over an hour, every time I try to put her down she cries 😅 Soaking up the cuddles, just wish it wasn't 24 degrees today as she's already like a hot water bottle on a normal day 😂

I'll go first... I just accidentally turned the stroller upside down whilst out for a walk today with him in it while I was turning a corner and not paying attention. He's fine but I went straight home sobbing my heart out with the guilt.

I’ve been EBF for 6 months, so far baby has refused a bottle but since weaning he’s been drinking out a cup well so I thought I’d try milk in a cup (as I need to get him used to something for nursery etc). I used readymade formula as we had some and because I tried pumping and was struggling with blocked ducts. I ju...

My little one is very clingy, he always has been but it’s on another level recently. We will go to classes or the park and he will still cling to me or will have to hold my hand wherever he goes. Is this happening with anyone else? Does it sound normal- I worry there is something more to it?

First time mum here, with a little boy he’s 2 weeks and 4 days old he’s combi fed and become a little concerned about his texture of poop sorry for the tmi I’m just worried incase he’s constipated or having digestive issues or if it’s normal or possible allergy. I will post the photo in the comments

Is anyone finding wearing a bra extremely uncomfortable? I’m 30 weeks + 4 and feel like my ribs get squashed to the point of it being painful. I’ve tried upsizing, using bra extenders, wearing maternity specific bras or looser bralets but nothing seems to work especially after a long day at work. I’m 34DD so can’t e...

Hey all, I just want to know if it’s is normal I just had my 6 week checkup all was good got the all clear. Me and my husband tried having sex for the first time and it wasn’t painful but it didn’t feel great either. Does that get better with time?

I’m just curious as to what others have been told. When I went for my 6 week check I mentioned to the dr that my daughter only poos every couple of days, which I know is very common. The dr agreed but suggested giving a little bit of water if seems constipated. I have another little girl and never did this with her ...

My baby is 15 weeks and I think we’re going through a regression. He also has reflux but is on meds. He will wake 30 mins after bedtime… After his first stretch/wakeup, he will wake every hour, sleep for 30 mins and wake again, sometimes he’s even having trouble just sleeping in my arms. Is this a regression? Is the...

Hey, Been looking at the scooter/bikes with parental control in smyths and just wondering if anyone has either of these products. Would you recommend? Any pros or cons to be aware of. Planning to see both in smyths tonight but wanted some user experience/advice ❤️ Will post pictures in comments.

Just wondering how everyone’s 9 month old is ? For the last 2 ish weeks I’ve had soooo many temper tantrums for almost anything lately. She’s going through a huge sleep regression fighting her daytime naps and having a lot more milk in the night/ wake ups to the point that we are going to be sleep training her to sl...

Just wondering if anyone else has gone through a mind shift? I was team breastfeeding whilst pregnant. Baby came a month early, had to have a c section, I still had high bp after birth and he was very tiny and my milk didnt come in for the first few days. As such he's currently doing a combi feed of formula and pump...

Any one had this post labor? I am 3 weeks pp and noticed something bulging in my vagina, went to the GP and they told me it’s a ‘cystocele’ and told me to do pelvic floor exercises. You know what GP appointments are like, so quick- I have so many unanswered questions. Will it ever go away or back to normal ? 😭

last night i had a bunch of braxton hicks back to back. not painful by any means just not fun- i’m 33+6 is this normal?

Hi! Please share what you feel is a good high chair! I am looking to get one and there are so many!

Hi girls let's see if someone can help me o reassure me. For around a week and a half my LO has been very unsettled at night. She's sleep but moves a lot and when I say a lot I mean a lot. She makes lots of noises, so much so she wakes us up. She moves arms and legs, she lifts her legs and kicks the mattress, while ...

Have you guys ever had to take an EpiPen then breastfeed
