She could be teething

Yeah my little girl was whining constantly at the start of teething, it's awful

Yeah It was all day the only thing that helped my little girl is in the pram for walks and teething powder.

Ashton and parsons teething powder

Could be teething? Ashton and parsons teething powder is really good 🙌🏻 my little boy seemed have more relief with the powder than any of the teething gels. My go to is usually powder, if that’s not working then I’ll go onto calpol and if he’s still unhappy I’ll give him Nurofen 🙌🏻 which is brilliant x

Best thing I did for pumping

When my son was born he was 6 weeks early and my supply was not in and I didn’t want to formula feed him. I got an amazing output after 5 days straight of pumping for what felt like hours and then when he left the NiCu and he came home my supply drooped rapidly, like over 150ml to under 60mls and this kid wanted to eat a lot so the stress didn’t help. I did my research and started drinking mother milk and Moringa tea every morning and let me tell you the difference after a few hours is scary good. The photo is after 13 mins of pumping on a machine that when I used it for 30 mins I got the smallest amount.

This might not work for everyone but it’s definitely something I personally recommend trying at least once if you can and your supply is low.

This is coming from some that did everything, coconut water, oats, hot showers, body armour sports drink, power pumping.

Have you had a “do whatever you want” moment? Share the battles you didn’t pick

At 2am my youngest was inconsolably screaming. After 20 minutes trying to figure out what she wanted she got a bar, but no it doesn’t stop there! She refused to throw the wrapper away and instead insisted on sleeping with it. So there she was snuggling with an empty bar wrapper like it was her most loved possession and I finally got to go back to sleep (I went to bed at 1:30 so I was in no shape to fight again lol)

Anyone anxious birthing a whole human infront of their husband?

I don’t want him to see ANYTHING! What if I poop and he sees it? Or just the pure trauma from all the blood and obviously what your coochie looks like during birth.

Baby monitor stand

Looking for recommendations on a universal baby monitor over the cot stand. I have the vtech VM3254 for reference.
Thanks x

colostrum

i know they say how much colostrum you collect before birth doesn't influence your milk supply after birth but today (my third time collecting it) I got 18 syringes and am worried I'll be an oversupplier and get infections because of it

When to cut down to 1 nap?

How do you know when your bub is ready to cut down to 1 nap?

Right now my almost 10m old naps from 12pm - 2pm then again around 4/5pm for 1 hour and a half

the past 2 nights she hasn’t slept well but I think that’s down to a regression or learning now to crawl? Who even knows

When did you know your bubs are ready to cut a nap?
