March 2025 babies 🇬🇧

I have just done a pregnancy test after being 9 days late on my period! This was not the plan at all. Anyone else found themselves in this situation?

Has anyone else recently seen that bottle prep machines are not recommended by the NHS because they cannot guarantee reaching temps of 70C? I’m seeing recalls of formula for things like botulism which granted are in the US but when googling noticed that brands like Kendamil also did recalls A few years ago. I’m now worrying and am thinking I should boycott the Babmoov machine I use as it can’t actually give a specific reading as to what temp it gets to.

My son is 7 nearly 8 months old and still wakes 2/3 times in the night for milk (and another 2/3 times just to moan at me)?! To be honest I don’t even know if he’s hungry but it’s the only thing that settles him back to sleep!? I’ve tried giving him more food and formula during the day in the hopes it’ll keep him fuller for longer but nothing seems to work, he’s in a routine of going to bed at 7pm. I’m just desperate for sleep 😭 so any help is appreciated x

My little boy who will be 6 months on the 31st has literally just got himself so hysterical after waking up an hour after being put to bed. He’ll probably wake every 1-2 hours now for the rest of the night and will only fall back to sleep with a feed. He will self settle in the day for naps and used to wake only 2-3 times in the night, but he’s been getting worse with each week. I track his daytime sleep to make sure he’s having the appropriate wake windows etc. I know I shouldn’t feed to sleep at night but he wont stop screaming and I’ve got my little girl who i don’t want disturbed.

Anyone else going through this or have any tips?

Is anyone else really anxious about introducing the allergens when weaning or is it just me? Baby has been really enjoying her weaning journey but I've only introduced gluten so far because I'm so worried about allergens. Shes had a couple of minor allergic reactions (same allergies as me, aubergine and pumpkin) but there's no family history on either side of anaphylaxis or anything and I know the later you wait to introduce the main allergens, the higher the risk of reaction. But I found these little skin rashes stressful enough and now I'm so worried about introducing the main allergens! Does anyone else feel like this? How do you overcome this?
