Yes!! When i was 6m pregnant social services was involved because I kept ignoring appointments given to me because i repeatedly said u didn't want to engage with them as u didn't need them. I was referred by my midwife who had concerns about my housing, and mental health ...for context I was living in an area where while pregnant I was harassed by a neighbour, had my car broken into and was living alone etc all of which caused my MH to decline and my ADHD to get exacerbated I really needed a housing support letter not a social services referral. Because I didnt engage because why would I (i don't need it) they forceably involved me and I had to attend a child protection meeting, ultimately they decided I needed a child in need care not child protection... iv willingly engaged with them but they made my pregnancy and postpartum more stressful.
2 days after giving birth, the social worker forced herself and have us NO choice but to see her, my husband begged her to leave us alone and adapt and .....

YESS!! This is so similar too me ,Not attending my midwife Appointments due too Feeling Uncomfortable in my body and New too the body Changes & Tiredness. I was living in a property with 7 men which I didn’t know at the time , as we all moved in at the Same time. & they Kept trying too put me in Mental Hospital because they caught me on Camera Stressed. They now rejecting my housing application I’m sure it’s due to “antisocial behaviour” But in my case is Bull Because How is a Young female Suppose too Strive in an All male environment. & Due to being in Hospital they think I’m not okay but it’s Super Annoying because I’m more than Capable!! & I do have the baby father same as youu , 😊 So that’s Good He Steped Up & Said Something too .. ! Wishing you the Best & I hope they leave you alone Very Soon & See ur Amazing Mom You sound Very Smart too me
My 7 month old baby girl likes to sleep at the top of the cot on her belly with bum in the air which is not an issue. However, she keeps banging her head on the board when she’s moving in her sleep. Has anyone had this issue and knows if there are any bumpers or anything that we can put in the cot to prevent her getting hurt?
We have had a look on Amazon but can’t seem to find anything.
I’ve attached a picture of how she sleeps.
Thank you!

Just for anyone in the newborn trenches struggling or wondering what the hell have I done to my life.. My baby is 8.5 months and omg it gets so much better!!
I can finally do some dishes and laundry while he shuffles around on the floor babbling away to me.
I found newborn stage so so hard and just wanted to let anyone who is struggling know it gets so much more fun and enjoyable!

Wondering if it works for babys with acid reflex or if it's just like nutrigamigen just smaller proteins?

I’m reaching out to see if any other moms have experience with toddlers who may have ADHD, and if you have any advice on how to manage constant tantrums and meltdowns.
My son will be 3 in February, and lately I’ve been really struggling with his behavior. It feels like he has a meltdown over EVERYTHING, sometimes over things that don’t even seem to have a reason. There’s very little downtime, and I feel like I can’t get anything done without constant screaming, yelling, or a tantrum.
I understand that toddlers have big emotions and are still learning how to regulate them, but this feels like more than the typical toddler tantrums. The frequency and intensity are becoming really difficult to manage, and the usual parenting techniques and strategies I’ve tried just don’t seem to work for him.
I’ve been trying to get him help because I genuinely suspect he may have ADHD, or something else going on developmentally, but I feel like my concerns aren’t being taken seriously, and I still haven’t gotten the guidance or support I need.
If you’ve been through something similar with your little one, especially if they were later diagnosed with ADHD or something else, I would really appreciate hearing your experiences. What helped with the meltdowns? What strategies actually worked for your child? Were there any resources, evaluations, or services that helped you?
I’m open to any genuine advice, recommendations, or support. I just want to help my son and figure out what he needs. 🩵

Does any one have sleep figured out? 11 weeks and contact naps are the only thing that makes my baby sleep for longer than 30 mins. Even at night, he wakes like every hour, max an hour 30 mins and wants to feed.
I kinda felt we’d be past this stage by now. I did not mentally prepare for this. The 30 mins nap obviously aren’t enough and he gets visibly exhausted so I give in and do the contact nap.
Now I’m wondering how long will this last for?
Any one with ideas on how to make this better?
