Anyone else at this point?? Idk what to do. Everything says “keep them in a crib as close to 3yo as possible bc they are way to young otherwise for a toddler bed” but then also says, if they climb out they need to be in a bed or other floor and gives no other help. We transitioned the crib to a toddler bed Sunday night and it was a disaster so we went back to the crib but with a sleep sack and it worked until tonight when I walked out of the baby’s room (he was laying in the crib) took three steps away and heard a thud bc he’d climbed over the railing in the sleep sack and hit the floor. (He’s fine!) I’m currently holding him snoozing in the recliner but this is obviously not helpful long term.. but neither is any advice I’ve found from all these sites about baby sleep 😭😭 anyone else here and so torn and struggling?!

(Sorry for typos- typing at a funny angle over sleeping baby and trying to just get this out!)

So my son is 18 months old and hasn’t breastfed since he was like 5 months completely done just wanted formula from 6 months and up. Well…. I’m still leaking milk is this normal?

Hi Mamas, my daughter is 13 months old and the only cow’s milk she’s had were a few sips she had directly from my glass when I was teaching her how to drink her milk from a cup as we were weaning her off the bottle.

At her 12-month visit, her pediatrician said it was fine to have her finish whatever breastmilk stash I had before we gave her cow’s milk. I’ve been somewhat of an overproducer for most of my breastfeeding and am still weaning off pumping by lessening my number of sessions and pumping duration (already got a clogged duct yesterday, oh boy) but feel like we still have breastmilk to last us through the winter at least.

Do I continue to have her on my breastmilk or do I mix in cow’s milk every now and then?

I’m a bit rubbish at coming up with healthy meals so could I just have some ideas of your babies’ favourites that we can try please?

Specifically things that include pulses (lentils, chick peas etc) and oily fish. I want to try to increase her protein intake and add to the meat and cheese she already loves.

Thanks all 🤩

Hello, I'm just wondering if anybody had a vaginal breech delivery with there little one & what your experience was like? I'm pregnant with baby number 2 & they are breech. I can't have a C-section (please don't ask why I don't feel comfortable sharing why online) so a V delivery is my only other option at the moment. I will be trying a EVC even though I am worried about the low success rate!
