What age did you stop breastfeeding?

So I love my breastfeeding journey and I’m not trying to stop anytime soon. My youngest just turned 1. Does anyone have any positive stories to share about their journey and how you dealt with things like biting, dips in supply, or self-weaning?

Has anyone else ever seen this ad before??

I am honestly shocked that I keep seeing this ad on Pinterest for such a dangerous product. I've reported it several times, even emailing Pinterest support directly.
I've had them remove my pins and threaten to take down my account over the dumbest stuff yet things that put babies at risk is fine? I was just thinking that maybe if a lot of people report it it will actually make a difference? I'll put the link in the comments, please report it if you have the time.

Sleep help PLEASE

We transitioned our little boy to a floor bed around 12 months and was amazing at the time for him to have extra space etc. He did amazing at not climbing out through the night etc. He went through 14 then 18 month regression and was abit of a struggle but we just had to lay with him to settle him then sneak out. He got over the regression about 3 weeks ago and the past week or so he’s refused to go to sleep unless you’re in his bed with him having a cuddle which I absolutely do not mind, it’s his only comfort he has never taken to a dummy/comforter or teddy.

Since this has started over the past week he’s been waking 3/4 times in the night and opening his bedroom door (we have a stair gate) and crying shouting mammy and daddy until we go lay in his bed to get him back to sleep.

Any tricks/methods to get him back to being able to self soothe and sleep on his own all whilst being in a floor bed? We did sleep training around 4 months in his cot and did the gentle ferber method, he’s never been left to ‘cry it out’ and wouldn’t be able to cope doing that now.

Did your husband buy you a gift after you had your baby?

Mine didn't even when I was hinting

Big bed

Did anyone put their little ones into a Montessori bed or toddler bed early? I’m due my second baby in September and I love our cot and would love to get more use out of it. But my daughter will only be 17 months when baby arrives.

I was thinking of using the cot for the baby/going in the babies room and then getting my girl a Montessori bed but before baby arrives to avoid too many transitions at once.

Wondered if anyone has done the same and it didn’t ruin their sleep ect?

It takes my toddler over an hour to fall asleep for nap and bedtime. What the fuck am I doing wrong

I do my best to get his fucking energy out all day long and it just seems to rile him up more and I do my best to do the cool down calm down and bedtime stories etc but nothing works for this child and I'm starting to worry that he has mental health problems because he can't turn his brain off and I've taught him how and I keep doing it every night. I'm getting worried that I'm screwing up his sleep. He sleeps well otherwise once he's out he's out for like 12 hours every night or more

Colostrum

Have people successfully collected colostrum, and did you do anything to prepare (other than having a warm bath/shower)? I’m 37 weeks and have been trying in the last few days - but nothing is coming out! My midwife did say it could take a while, but I’m also worried that this could be an early indication of my lack of milk supply when the baby is here. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated! (FTM, if you can’t tell 🤣)
