Phones and Newborns

Is anyone else struggling with the guilt of needing to be on their phone when with their baby? It’s almost impossible these days to not have your phone on around your baby, even my home lights are connected to an app on my phone! I told myself I wouldn’t be a phone mum and although I try my best I still find myself feeling guilty.

Anyone else feeling the same?

I brought a phone case that is advertised to catch babies attention, it’s a black and white print and my baby does seem to like it, it’s made it great for taking picture but just wondered if anyone else has found some good tricks?

Is your child at 2 years still rear facing in the car seat?

I dont know many that do it at this point although it is safer. We stopped as its now much easier managing melt downs and being able to soothe and comfort but the actual recommend age is till 4 years old! And some seats go to 6 years old 🫠.. wondering if I should start reintroducing backwards sitting again.. its such a boring ride for a toddler though

No Breast Milk …

Hi mumma’s ! A little vulnerable moment coming up …

Had baby girl 6days ago ! The most amazing little blessing.

However … my breast milk has yet to come in ! I didn’t produce much colostrum and I have inverted nipples so I always knew breastfeeding would be hard … but NOT impossible

Anyway … I suffered a lot of trauma giving birth, haemorrhaged and lost 2L of blood etc

My question is to the mumma’s who had delayed milk production and the mummas with inverted nips !!

- How are you are doing it ?
- When did your milk come in ?
- Any tips and tricks ??

Breastfeeding FTM

Gave birth around 11:40am yesterday, had 3 feeds and another short one later that night. Everytime i put her up to the breast she seems to fall asleep and wont open her mouth. Any suggestions ? Shes only small and came out at 5lb 2 so need to get her weight up 😬

Do you wash new clothes before you wear them?

i typically always do and have been called dramatic for this😭 a lot of clothes are curated with dyes and chemicals that can be cancer causing and actually many clothes tags say wash before wear! also i think most clothes come from warehouses that could have bugs and possibly rodents lol not here to convince anyone just curious

Baby dislikes crib

My baby hates sleeping in her crib and it’s probably due to co sleeping for so long she is 8 months now and completely refuses to sleep in her crib meaning she ends up back in the bed this seems like a never ending issue because we still go round the same cycles any advice would be helpful thankyou! 💕

When you drive alone with the baby/toddler what do you do when to stop and need to fill up gas

I’m a new drives and this a question that goes through my minds as I don’t feel like leaving my toddler alone in the car even if it’s locked but there’s different situations like she could be sleeping, so I wanted to ask what the mommy’s do?
