I would say wake baby up for a feed if they havnt woken up in 4 hours. That should help!!! Also what a lucky mums having such a good sleeper!!! Xx

You must be making some wonderful creamy milk! Xx

Eventually, your body will only produce what your baby needs. If it happens every night, your body will adapt to not producing that much at that time as baby doesn't need it. If you want to increase your supply, you could pump it, but obviously your body will think baby wants milk. You could just hand express to make it more comfortable.

I’ve experienced this - i express for a couple mins to make it more comfortable but make sure not to empty the boob x

Any one know Toni?

I specifically mentioned in my post this is a no judgement group chat & this is the first thing she does be careful because me and my friend were once in a group chat with her a while back and she talked so dirty to us because we gave our babies purees said "your doctors know nothing " "your baby is gonna have issues " and "yall are dumb" that "i trust online research not my doctors " just beware!!!

Ms Ratchel

Okay moms. I’m feeling super guilty. I let my 10 month old watch ms Ratchel, it’s not an every day thing but I run out of ideas to play with him. He refuses to crawl, hates tummy time and has no interest in wanting to try. Any other moms currently going through this?

7 month old poop

My 7 month old pooped normally this morning. He ate avocado and banana mixed with my breastmilk and then pooped (image shown) 30 min later. Does this look concerning? He’s exclusively breastfed and acting normal.

Sleep help

Hi mamas!
A sleep question..
My little one (13 weeks) tends to go to sleep around 8pm (give or take) after bath, bottle, bed routine. He quite consistently has a good 4-5 hour stretch initially before waking up for a feed around 1-2am. Once he’s fed and settled back in his next to me crib, the rest of the night is very bitty up until he wakes at about 7am. He’ll go down for an hour or so at a time but finds it tricky to stay asleep for longer than that. VERY thankful for the initial stretch but hoping we can maybe nail down a second longer stretch somehow. Any tips or tricks? Thanks in advance!

Sleeping sack to duvet

This may be a stupid question but by little girl will be 2 next month and i was thinking of starting to introduce her to a little toddler duvet before winter is officially here…

But i dont know if shes ready for one? Or is it just one of these things you just need to encourage?

Baby refusing calpol

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a 10 month old to take calpol ?

My baby has had gastroenteritis and throwing up for the last two weeks . Shes crying constantly, waking up through the night crying and obviously uncomfortable .

When ever I try to give her calpol she says no , spits it out or throws it all back up again . Any recommendations for alternatives she might take ?

Thanks
