I need help

Hi ❤️
Can anyone help, I’m so torn with guilt and needing my daughter to sleep.
So my daughter is 12 months, has her cot in my room. Naps in there and goes to bed in there, I nurse her in my arms to sleep and then transfer her in to her bed. At night, she wakes up after around half an hour and then I nurse her to sleep again. After 3-4 hours when I go to sleep she usually wakes up and goes to sleep with me in my bed again nurse her, once I’m next to her she wakes up constantly to be nursed, I have tried to let her sleep in her bed but she will wake up as soon as I transfer her. Any tips ? I would love for her to sleep independently and be able to soothe herself. I have a spare room and I’m thinking if moving her would help her. Also I feel so guilty as well. Help

Hi there! I’m sorry you’re struggling. It sounds like your little one has a strong nursing to sleep association and she’s not able to connect her sleep cycles on her own. I recommend sleep training as that’s going to teach her how to fall asleep independently and she’ll be able to get back to sleep without nursing. I know it sounds intimidating but it works! If you’re not sure where to start I have a free sleep training guide. Feel free to message me if you want a copy!

Stopping breast feeding

I decided yesterday to stop BF, my newborn is five weeks but I just find it so demanding with a toddler etc that want to switch to formula now but I am in AGONY. Omg is this normal? No one warned me I’d be in so much pain. I’ve had to sleep upright and take pain relief! How long will this last?

Does anyone knows why my 4 month old puts the dummy in ber mouth like this? She puts the bottom half of the dummy in her mouth. Does that mean we need bigger size?

Pram regret is real 😩 did I choose wrong?

Mums I need help 😩

I bought the Bugaboo Dragonfly and now I’m having serious regrets… I keep thinking I should’ve gone for the YOYO instead 😭

We’re flying on 1st June and baby will be just under 4 months, so now I’m stressing about airport life, folding the pram, gate checking, all of it 🫠

Do I:

1. Keep the Dragonfly and just deal with it for travel
2. Sell it and switch to a YOYO
3. Keep it and get a separate travel buggy

I love the comfort of the Dragonfly but I’m worried it’s going to be a nightmare at the airport. But then I don’t want to downgrade and regret it the other way either 😩

If you’ve travelled with either (or both!) what did you do??
Was the YOYO actually worth it or is it overhyped?

Also flying with a 4 month old… any must-know tips? ✈️🤍

Help!

Since the start of my pregnancy (June 2025) my one nipple has been cracking, developing tiny white blisters, scabbing over, weeping, sticking to my bra, bleeding, burning and itching! It’s also peeling constantly if it’s not doing any of the above. I’ve had 3 lots of antibiotics, every type of cream you can think of, antiseptic wash for surgical patients and been seen my multiple GPs and breast specialists. They keep telling me it’s hormonal and will go away on its own but I’m now 10 weeks PP and it’s still not getting better. Does anyone know what this could be and what I can do to make it better??
