I am planning a homebirth for this very reason so I don’t have to but baby boy currently isn’t playing ball and is breech and the thought of leaving my first is eating me up inside 😭

I’ve been feeling the same. If I think about it too much I sob 😭 I had to do a practice sleepover the other night and he was completely fine and loved spending time with his cousins. Me on the other hand, I was up all night in case they called and said he needed me

Same mine will be 3 in June and also feel the same about leaving her, when I give birth will be the first time 🥺🥺

Same mine is only just 25 months old and never not put her down for her nap/ bed and been here for when she wakes up.
When I mean no one has put her down, I mean no one! So this is really hard for me right now
I’m glad (but not glad if you know what I mean) that it’s not just me😭sorry you are all finding it just as tough!
People make me feel crazy for it, they say things like see it as a break or tell me to do a practice run (I’m like hell no why would I put myself through more upset than I need to). I’ve even said to my husband part of me wants to give birth alone so he can still be here for our son atleast xxx

I was also hesitant to do a practice run (kept putting it off) and then my husband ended up having a big accident and I went with him in the ambulance which meant my parents took our first for a sleepover. I was having a terrible time worrying about both of them and I don't think my daughter even noticed we were gone😭🤣
I'm still not looking forward to leaving her again for labour but if your little one is with people you both trust I'm sure it will help 😭❤️
Has anyone got one of these from a brand they recommend? Not sure if Coco seat is a UK brand or what it's like as a company?
Thanks in advance!

My 12 week old uses Aldi Mamia size 3 nappies during the day with no problems, but at night both Mamia and Pampers Premium Protection size 3 have leaked after a few hours. Has anyone got tips for nighttime leaks or recommendations for other brands or strategies?

Hi all so my nearly 3 week old is wanting to sleep through the night she has had no issues with her weight and is gaining really well. Can I let her sleep through or do I keep waking her? TIA x

My baby is 15 weeks on Saturday. He used to sleep 9ish-6am with only 1 wake for a feed. He’s now ready for bed at 7/7:30 and sleeping until 7am but waking for 3 feeds! He had dropped to 6 5oz bottle but has now added in an extra one at 11pm. I’ve tried him with some 6oz bottles in the day but he struggled with them. What’s going on? Do I need to ride it out or try and up his daytime intake?

I was just curious if anyone has switched formulas. My 12 week old baby has been on aptamil 1 since birth but due to crap mat pay and the prices of formula nowadays I was wondering if anyone can advise if they switched and (or) if they've used aptamil and changed; which brand did they switch to. Thanks mummas
