Eyebrows

Should I be concerned about my babies broad eyebrows? I posted a while ago and since then I’m not sure if they’ve gotten thicker/fuller/darker. I have spoken to health visitor.

How do you poo? Serious question

Im at sahm with a 19 month old who cosleeps naps and bedtime. So i literally never without her. I can't do anything in peace which has now resulted in constipation because the girl never gives me a break and whenever I need a poo she decides to have a meltdown so hence the constipation. She won't independently play and even TV doesn't captivate her. Help!

How to approach advice

Hi mummas, I’m just wondering if anyone else feels this way since becoming a mum.

How do you feel when it comes to receiving advice from family, friends or other people about your baby and the way you parent?

I completely understand that most people mean well, and sometimes advice can genuinely be helpful. But I’ve noticed that when I’m constantly being told what I should or shouldn’t be doing, or hearing things like “you should do this,” “try this,” or “I used to do it this way,” I can start to feel really frustrated and overwhelmed.

Sometimes I don’t necessarily want advice—I just want to be able to talk about something without feeling like I need to change what I’m doing. I also feel like constantly hearing other people’s opinions can sometimes make you second-guess yourself as a mum, even when you were originally confident in your own decision.

I’m curious whether other mums feel the same way. Do you usually appreciate advice and take it on board, or do you sometimes find yourself becoming frustrated by it? Have you found that becoming a mum has made you want more space to figure things out for yourself and trust your own instincts?

No judgement either way—I’d genuinely love to hear how other mums feel about this.

Getting out

Any tips on just getting out more with the baby? She is 3 months old and fights her naps terribly, so once she’s tired she will just scream and in the house I have to stand and rock her so I worry about going out because she will scream in the car and when out in public but I’m going crazy being in the house or just wandering around the streets. It’s really starting to affect me 😢

Breastfeeding after bottle

Hello!
Due to various reasons we had to start feeding our baby with formula from birth - the main one was my milk coming in late. Ofc, baby got used to the bottle. I have been pumping and feed him expressed milk

Has anyone managed to get back to breastfeeding after bottle e feeding for a considerable amount of time? (2 months in our case)?

If you used a lactation consultant, was it successful? And how many sessions did it take?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Lightweight stroller

Super undecided between Joolz Aer2 and Bugaboo Butterfly 2 as our travel/lightweight stroller. I prefer the reclining system on the Butterfly but love how lighter and more compact the Joolz is when folded.

What’s your take?

BF MUMS - how long was your babies first 'feed' in the hospital

My baby was on my boob for over 2 hours. Midwife said this was normal but it felt like a long time?!
