Is your pram approved for occasional sleeping? If so, you could get a stand for that ?

I bought this for my now 7 year old when she was born it’s lovely

@Rachel oh great, that's helped cos I wasn't too sure.. x

We had the snuz baskit and it was great. Although my girl was small so fit it longer than bigger babies would

I had a small cot that was probably only about 1 meter long not even look super neat and tidy in my living room! Xx

it’s great I loved it until my teenage son thought it would be a good idea to sit in it and break it 😂😤

online4baby is a brilliant website for alternatives and there are sales up to 75% off

I brought a snuz baskit, little smaller than a Moses basket and looks more modern x

I used the pram for my first (the bassinet attachment). HV said it was absolutely fine as the mattress was firm enough etc. Meant I didn't have to have multiple things taking up space. I could also push it back and forth to help soothe her

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?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

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?
