Hard to describe but my nipples just felt wet and could clearly see the leak from outside my PJs

Been leaking colostrum since before 20 weeks, now nearing 28 and I’d just say, my nipples would feel wet, I didn’t have any odd sensations in my boobs or anything though xx

I’m almost 28 weeks and have noticed it’s getting more and more now. It doesn’t hurt/feel a certain way. Just feels wet, definitely noticed a colour change in my nipples though

I’ve not experienced this yet. I’m 28 weeks now. Is it normal to not have this start yet?

Yes! Been leaking since 24 weeks, just feels wet, like you’ve dripped something on your top. I’ve never felt it come out by my boobs ache the day leading up to the leak x

from what I’ve read on my pregnancy apps etc, it’s Normal to not get it until way later on, some women get it earlier and some don’t, it’s completely normal xx

I am 31 weeks and nothing! I am big breasted as well so I thought it would pour out of me .. little disappointed tbh

I’m in the same boat as you! 31 weeks today and absolutely nothing, I really thought I would have leaked something by now but thankfully it’s normal to also have it not happen yet so that’s reassuring for now 🫶🏽

I had sore boobs yesterday and they felt a little warm, but nothing. A friend recommended to try pumping or trying to encourage but I’ve also seen that squeezing ect can cause early labour so really reluctant to!

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?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

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😢💗

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 😂
