I had this during the week - I was going crazy! Today she has gone back up to her normal feeds, and she doesn’t seem ‘angry’ all day like she did all week.

I may be imaging it but she seems to have gained new skills over night and she is suddenly reaching out for things in front of her - maybe she is going through some big developments 😂 just keep an eye and if it goes on for too long, maybe speak to HV or GP. xx

My LG is five months in the 29th just for reference x

We had the same thing and turns out she was teething they seem to loose their appetite when they are teething - have you tried to glass trick on her gums to see? X

what is this magical trick you speak of?

She was also really grouchy and fussy alllll day, wouldn’t eat anymore than 2oz at a time and extra dribbley

Thanks girls! She is definetly learning new things right now and just wants to try and roll over, bite and rip the bottle from her mouth as she’s started to hold it herself or just play in general😂 I’ll keep an eye out and try the glass trick! Xx

Good luck! It will be just a phase but when someone said that to me last week, when I was in the middle of it, I wanted to scream!

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
