Also the NHS has some helpful guides 😊

If you google asq followed by the age of baby, you will get the questionnaires health visitors use. Don’t get too worried about it though as all babies meet milestones when they are ready but it’s a good guide.

Pram

Hi, when did you change the pram from the carry cot to the seat? My little boy is nearly 4 months and just wants to look around everywhere

Boyfriend wants to put baby for adoption.

My one month old has always been on the fussier side since birth, lots of crying and just wants to be held. Recently, he was “diagnosed” with colic so the crying at night has been intense for long periods. I try my best to console him but there’s not much I can do other than to hold him and give him gas drops to help. My boyfriend (his dad) doesn’t have as much as patience as I do and he made a comment while our baby was intensely crying and said “this is what makes me want to put him up for adoption”. I immediately started crying because instead of him trying to help me to console our baby he makes comments like that. What would y’all have responded or done about that
comment if it was said to you?

Need helppp

My son not sleeping through the night and he won’t sleep in the day he literally be running off of 2 hours of sleep and I don’t know what to do

Nappy bin - worth it? Angel care vs tommee tippee ?

Hello
I was wondering if getting a nappy bin is worth it or not ? Or do you just use a scented bin bag ?
We also have a dog and where we live there is no bin outside so we have to put the poop bags in our house , so I was thinking maybe it’s worth getting one for the scent as it could double for the baby and our dog ?
If so, do you recommend the angel care bin or the Tommy tippee ? I’ve heard that some people say even the Amazon recharge are expensive and they just use a scented bin bag (with we do, from Costco).
I’m a bit lost of the topic
Thank you ☺️

Am I wrong for not letting my BF discipline our child over something he actually does himself like scream and hit?

My bf is often screaming yelling and aggressive at times and I get so angry when he tries to discipline our child about her screaming and hitting bc he does the very exact same thing

Am I wrong for not letting him say anything to her about it bc he’s just being a hypocrite bc when he does it it’s ok but when she does it it’s wrong. I want him to lead by example and then he can say something to her

Or should I still let her discipline her and teach her better?

Am I being selfish and unreasonable?

I never got the birth or the breastfeeding journey I dreamt of. My birth was a traumatic emergency c-section and as a result, my breastfeeding was delayed and had to combo feed with formula. Sometimes there is breast aversion which breaks my heart and I have a mother who's advice is to give up and only bottle feed. I have always wanted a second baby but even more so now because I want to try a natural birth and exclusively breastfeed. Obviously I won't rush into the second because I want to put all my effort into my current baby.
Is wanting a second baby to di things differently unfair for my current baby? Am I being selfish and unreasonable?
