Unbelievable

My MIL told my husband that I should be breastfeeding(nursing) and that pumping is not the right way to feed my baby….
Anyone else thinks that’s wild??

Agree! Your boobs your business!

But props to you for pumping, I personally always struggled to pump. 😊

Oh wow some people can't get the baby to feed so why not pump that's crazy

Tell her to suck an egg and shut up. It’s up to you, as long as baby is healthy and well and you’re comfy doing the odd pump, good for you!

Got fuckol to do with her in my opinion.

There are so many valid reasons to pump and so many valid reasons she should mind her own business in general 😂🤔 honestly pumping is SO HARD, it’s so much work. You’re doing great

Oh well, you know the right way to feed your baby, nohody else. Your preference only.

Is the baby hers? No, she can have an opinion, and she can keep them to herself

That's annoying to hear. I had to pump because my LO and I couldn't get the latching down correctly. Oh God I could only imagine what she thinks about formula 😅

As a mom who chose to formula feed form the hey go, how you choose to feed your child is your business. She can give guidance but otherwise not her baby

Speech

How many words does your 18mo have? We've got about 6/7 and have been told by nursery and the health visitor thats the lower end/slightly behind. She understands very well, but rarely uses the words she knows and was a late babbler.

Just wondering if anyone else had been through the same with any advice to help her speech?

Whining??

WHEN DOES THE WHINING STOP?!? I am so fed up with it. I’ve had a headache for the last 19 days because my son (17m) whines about EVERY. SINGLE. THING. And screams all the freaking time.

Dummies?!

Looking for some advice, my nearly 5 week old baby will suck on a dummy for around 1-2 mins then spits it out and start fussing again that he wants it, sometimes he will even wake up from a nap for it. This will continue until he falls into a deep sleep and eventually when the dummy falls out he won’t wake back up . He will also settle without a dummy so does he maybe just not want it or are the dummies too big for his mouth I’m not sure 😩 we have tried the mam newborn orthodontic ones and the tommee tippee 0-2 month (the teat on these are a lot bigger). He is also formula fed, has anyone else been through this if so all advice welcome 🙏🏻

Constipation

Hi, was just wondering if there is any advice for a new mum with a baby girl who is 16 days old with her going for a poo. Her belly isn’t hard or anything but she seems to be going like every 4/5 days without a poo is this normal? I’ve been doctors twice now they are not bothered. So just wanted to hear some advice or experiences. Because I feel like this isn’t normal so would love to help her.
I do the moving legs daily, also bath sometimes helps but not all the time.
