First period after birth
Conflicting!
One dr has told me I should have had a period by now and another has said it’s completely normal?
I’m nearly 8 weeks post partum and haven’t had a period yet but this week I’ve had my normal pre period symptoms without having one?
When did everyone get theirs my son is also formula fed so I know that plays a part if their breastfed.

I’m 8 weeks postpartum today and I’ve had the horrible cramps for weeks and finally come on today and that’s with starting birth control a week ago, it will come it just sometimes takes longer everybody is different x
That’s still totally normal! With my first I got my period back after 6 weeks (bottle fed) I’m combi feeding this time and haven’t got my period back yet (8 weeks pp). But I have a few friends who bottle fed and didn’t get their period back for several months. Your body will bring it back when it’s ready :) x
I’m 8 and a half weeks and just having mine - it differs for everyone!
I was exactly 8 weeks postpartum yesterday and started my period yesterday. I exclusively formula feed too. But all bodies are different, we can get them sooner or later, there's nothing to worry about x
I didnt have mine until I stopped breast feeding with my first at 18 momths.
My little one is just over 6 weeks and Ive come on mine but it’s really really heavy 😔😔
I had mine 2.5 weeks post partum, I panicked but I stopped bleeding by week 2 had a few days off then bam it hit me very heavy. 5 day cycle then ovulated on time too. Everyone’s body is different.

Baby seats for trolleys, high chairs etc.
Has anyone got one of these from a brand they recommend? Not sure if Coco seat is a UK brand or what it's like as a company?
Thanks in advance!

Nappy leaks at night—what brands or tips work?
My 12 week old uses Aldi Mamia size 3 nappies during the day with no problems, but at night both Mamia and Pampers Premium Protection size 3 have leaked after a few hours. Has anyone got tips for nighttime leaks or recommendations for other brands or strategies?

Sleeping through
Hi all so my nearly 3 week old is wanting to sleep through the night she has had no issues with her weight and is gaining really well. Can I let her sleep through or do I keep waking her? TIA x

Sleep regression or upping daytime intake?
My baby is 15 weeks on Saturday. He used to sleep 9ish-6am with only 1 wake for a feed. He’s now ready for bed at 7/7:30 and sleeping until 7am but waking for 3 feeds! He had dropped to 6 5oz bottle but has now added in an extra one at 11pm. I’ve tried him with some 6oz bottles in the day but he struggled with them. What’s going on? Do I need to ride it out or try and up his daytime intake?

Toddler not listening
Ok my 2 yr old does not listen to me. I know everyone says that but what do you do when it starts lol. We were walking on the side walk and he just took off (he’s never done that before) I was running yelling after me and he was laughing. I got so scared because we live on a boulevard so it’s busy. But just lately he’s been saying no no no to me and runs away. Idk what to do especially in situations like this that are dangerous.
