My baby’s dad performed a DNA test on him and my baby without my knowledge or consent. My baby wasn’t even a month old at this point. Any advice or thoughts? He’s not on the birth certificate.

Did he do it so that he would be added to the birth certificate later?
Or he thought you cheated and wanted proof the child was his?

It’s kind of hard to form an opinion without context. Was there cheating going on? Did you have a relationship with him or was it a one night stand? Etc.

If you're in the Uk and he isn't on the bc and/or doesn't have PR this is a criminal offence.
Since he didn't have your consent, the test he has done is legally invalid, which is why he's probably asking for another one and your consent to do so.

Another one is disrespectful

What a jerk. I would never speak to him again. Unless you want him to pay child support?
Has anyone got any advice on sleep training? My nearly 15 week old is fine at night sleeps in her moses basket in our room still but in the day she will not go down in the cot in the living room as soon as I put her down she’s awake and won’t go back to sleep 😩

My baby is almost 11 months old and he’s always fed to sleep even at bedtime. Now I feel like he’s starting to drop bottles, I struggle to get him to nap.
Like today, he had a filling lunch so refused his 3.30pm bottle for his nap, I resorted to having to drive around in the car to get him to sleep. I tried rocking and he just cries and tried to turn.
Any ideas on how I can start to get him to fall asleep with no bottle?

I'm a bit baffled because I didn't realise it could happen this soon. Now I'm prange sleeping.
I placed her on her back. When we woke for feeding she was on my belly. 🥴

Im a FTM and my 5 week old daughter is going through a stage of either not sleeping or sleeping too long, This morning she woke up at 4 and didn’t go back to sleep until 9:30, Between that time she had about 12oz of milk and slept for 8 hours, Has anyone else had this with their baby? Should I be worried and wake her up if she sleeps for that long again? Just looking for a bit of advice

My daughter is 11months and can get up on the sofa but she jumps around on it like she has 9 lives, which obviously doesn’t really mix with a kid who has no sense of danger. She doesn’t get off safely and i can’t trust her to be on it but she’s desperate to do it since shes figured it out. Shes in a climbing phase anything she can be on she is, shes relentless too
My sons 4 and i can’t remember how i did it with him it’s like he just got it randomly, he still climbed alot but always safely
How did you get your young children to be safer on the sofa or just things in general?
