When do you really know it’s time for baby number 2? 🤍
My little girl is 4 now and getting ready to start school, and I can’t help but feel like we’re stepping into a whole new chapter. Part of me is so excited for her… and another part is wondering if it’s time to grow our family.
Is there ever a “right” time? Or is it just a feeling you can’t ignore?
Would love to hear from other parents—how did you know you were ready for baby no.2? 💭

The right time is when you and your family determine as right based on your family circumstances. Mines 8 months and we’ve started talking about next one, not that it’ll happen soon but the conversation has started and we’re putting plans into place to make life go smoothly when it does happen.
It’s up to your family love ❤️

I agree with . It is really you and your family dynamics. At the end it is you all that have to adjust, adapt and live together. I have my baby no 2 when my first one will be 3. We really feel he will be a very good big brother and he loves social interaction plus right age for me to have another one.. and the list is long.. so whatever works for you 😊

Have a talk with your partner. Personally I don't think there's ever a "right" or perfect time, if you second guess yourself too much there will always be a reason to put it off. Keep in mind you don't get to choose when baby #2 comes, even when you do decide you're ready. We fell pregnant quickly with my first but struggled for a year and a half before a successful 2nd pregnancy.

I knew when my first turned 1 and saw him with other children. He just lit up and was so into engaging and following them around.
I also knew I wanted them to be somewhat close in age.

We had a rough timeline in mind since before we had our first. When the time came I almost got cold feet but then two friends announced their pregnancies and I got so jealous that we decided to actually start trying that month! Factors for us were: age/ independence of our first (potty trained, understands roughly what’s going on, able to walk securely for distances like nursery - car, car - flat, etc and that we as parents felt like we had something left to give :)
I’m now 18w and our son will turn 3 in less than a month. I think we would’ve been able to handle it à few months earlier but I think we needed the time to feel sure about the decision 😊
Does anyone know how long this sleep regression lasts? My son has gone from sleeping through to being up every hour for the last two weeks, I'm soooo tired!!🥲

Hi everyone
Can I please ask for stroller reviews from anyone who loves their strollers especially if you push it on cobblestones or rough terrain.
I have a mama’s and papas Flip TX3 which I absolutely hate! Everytime I use it I get back pain from steering it. It’s also super bumpy and makes me worry about baby but she seems not to mind. Baby is 4 months and we have only used it 5 times. If you have a Flip TX3 , does it get better when baby is older and can sit up?
I chose it because of the lie flat option as I didn’t get a bassinet and also because its foldable and we live on the first floor.
I really need something which is those two things but with great suspension.
Thank you

My baby just turned 3 weeks and although I was doing so well at the start, I feel like I’m being worn down now. I’m exclusively breastfeeding and my life being constant 2 hour increments of feeding, burping, changing and trying to soothe a fussy baby, then grabbing whatever scraps of sleep I can when he goes down is so exhausting. One of my boobs has now started hurting (not the nipple, the boob itself) and I’m so stressed at night trying to get through without my partner waking as he has work the next day. I’m not sure what I’m asking for, I suppose I’m just venting to feel less alone. I’m so grateful to have my baby, but this is so hard and I’m scared.
