Speech

I have my only boy who is 21 months old and not really saying many words. He understands everything and does ramble on all day in his baby language lol but I haven’t been concerned as such but a few people have asked me why isn’t he saying many words and it made me feel slightly anxious but I was just thinking he will do it on his own time. Just wanted to get other parents opinions etc, thanks in advance x

Has anyone experienced this? 😭

My baby is 2 months old and has been exclusively breastfed since birth. I went to Boots for emergency contraception, told the pharmacist I was breastfeeding, and was given ellaOne.
After taking it, I read the leaflet and saw the breastfeeding warning. I called 111 and a clinician advised me to stop breastfeeding and give formula for 8 days.
I’m honestly heartbroken 😭 I’m worried about introducing formula and whether I’ll be able to get my baby back to breastfeeding afterwards.
Has anyone had to do this before? Did you successfully return to breastfeeding? ❤️

5:30am wake up!!

My little girl has just turned one and no matter how long she naps/what time she goes to bed she wakes up at any point between 4:30-5:30am wide awake and it takes a good hour to try and resettle her, or I give up and have to get up. Anyone else in the same boat or been through this?!

Hair removal down there

Hi mums, just want to ask how you're managing hair removal down there? I'm tempted to use hair removal cream, pre-pregnancy it was the only thing that helped me do it without cuts/nicks and I hated using my razor/trimmer. My bits are unbearable now and I really need a better solution as I cut myself more using my razor and trimmer (can't see what I'm doing because of bump). Does anyone have an at home solution that works completely? Can I just use hair removal cream? And is it safe? 😢 Thank you ❤️

Sleep

My baby is 6 months, for the last couple of months ths he's given up with contact napping and will only sometimes sleep in the pram or car, although that does not always work. We've had period where he's been awake all day for 12 hours and just screams constantly as he's so tired but will not sleep. He took 3.5 hours to get to sleep last night and tonight has been awake the last 4 hours and screams every time he is put down.

He's so overly tired but will not aleep, we've tried watching wake windows but eveytime we try and put him down for a nap he just screams and gets himself even more worked up. There's been 4 occasions where he's gone down for a nap, all less than an hour.

Completely exhausted, has anyone got any advise on how to solve this?

nighttime nappies

Hey, i just wanted to hear what others were doing basically - if your LO sleeps through the night then do you change their nappies or not? obviously dirty ones you will need to change but what about wet ones?

4:30am wake up

Is this the 4 month regression, 430am wake up to him just rolling in his bed wide awake and won’t go back down?

He was going through the night too! 😭
