Warm milk start trying to put your little one down earlier since it'll take a while to put them down

My children specifically are very loving so they love cuddling and I know that people don't like it but during these stages I'll co-sleep with the kids while my partner watches and when the babies are asleep he'll take them into their room or set up our room so they can sleep on their designated rest spot weather that's a bassinet or a bed/kid couch bed mat close to the bed it all just depends on what works best for your family!

There's a melatonin tea you can give your child an hour before bed just don't give too large of a batch to your child a small cup will do just don't do it often as well

Keeping freshly harvested lavender is also a very big help to help calm your child and get them to rest

how do you know when to stop co-sleeping? As in how do you know they’re passed the stage? And can you give tea to a 3-4 month old? Thanks for the tips!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
