Although they are widely sold, they’re not actually recommended. I’m not good at explaining so I’ll send screenshots from chatgpt lol

We have a jumperoo. He will go in it max twice a day for 10 mins at a time as I know they aren’t great for them for long use. I waited until 6 months

I got my 6 month old a walker as he’s always had strong legs and standing up. He loves it and hops forward with both legs when he’s excited it’s so cute! Depends if you want your baby stationary or mobile. Jumperoo would keep them in one place!

Jumparoos and sit-in walkers are not recommended due to concerns about causing extra stress on the hip joints. Push walkers or stationary, ait-in activity tables are better choices

I didn’t use any. He used a push walker at 8m, and had a wooden activity table he walked around. Sit in walkers are banned in Canada to my knowledge, and not sold here in Aus either

Check where you live for regulations. Walkers are straight up banned in Canada. You can get an activity centre that is immobile. Jumperoo is not banned however advised against.

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

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 😂
