Why are you awake right now?

I'll start...

My boy has only in this last week started to sleep longer stretches (5+ hrs) so ive not been dreading night time as much. I've currently got my partner snoring the loudest he's ever snored in our whole 5y relationship one side of me. On the other side, I've got my son grunting with the wildest active sleep I've ever heard. I think he's trying to poop (8w and learning how to use his muscles)

I've been awake since 2am after pumping and haven't been able to sleep since...

Thank god the grandparents have my LO for a few hours later so I can get a decent nap in.

My lg woke up an hour ago and is refusing to go back to sleep. Currently sitting in a dark living room trying to get her back over

@Heather oh man, that sucks. Fingers crossed she goes back to sleep for you soon. My LO usually wakes between 5/6 for a feed and doesnt settle easily after that, so im fully expecting to be doing the same shortly x

My LG woke up at 3:45 and finally she is drifting back to sleep. Just got to transfer her to the cot without her waking up again 🤞🙏

I just fed my LG and she is on me for a few minutes to make sure she does not bring milk back up. Currently she is trying to settle by herself by feeling my warmth. I have green noise on which seems to soothe her as of lately (I recomnend it-trickling water gets me to sleep!) . We are co-sleeping so baby’s and my nights have been good.

yeah just a bit. Awake for over an hour and a half. Finally got her back to sleep and in bed cot. I'm now not tired so just lay in bed scrolling my phone lol x

scrap that she's up again!x

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
