How old is your baby? Have you tried waiting it out until he unlatches? It takes a while but my son will do a dramatic pull-back from the boob and unlatch 😂

I just saw the group this is in and your baby is the same age as mine, so ignore my first question! x

sometimes it can be an hour or longer and his sleeping but he just wants my boob in his mouth😭 i don’t mind comforting him sometimes but not all the time as it makes it hard for his dad or another family member to calm him down

Will they take a dummy? Or such Thier hand/fingers? I unlatch my little girl as soon as I think she has finished feeding but I have done this from the start and probably against advice but I do think this has helped with her sleep tbh X

he doesn’t like the dummies and he does use his hand to put in his mouth but that doesn’t seem enough to sooth him😭 as soon as i latch him off he wakes him straight after😭

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 😭😭😭😭

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

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

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between
