Is tongue tie really a thing?

My son Troy is 2 months old, and I’ve been struggling with getting him to latch since birth. I’ve been exclusively pumping, and it’s been quite a journey. My midwife, bodywork practitioner, and a dentist friend have all suggested he has a tongue tie. I’m considering getting it released with a laser, but I’m honestly skeptical. Is tongue tie really as common and problematic as everyone says? Has anyone actually seen a significant improvement after the procedure? Is it worth pursuing, or is this just a very profitable 30-second procedure that’s being overprescribed? I’d love to hear real experiences, both positive and negative, especially from moms who have gone through it.

Leaving baby on own while downstairs

Hi all I know the Bhs guidelines say keep baby in same room as you for first 6 months. My baby is 5 months old but she's a really bad napper in the day so I hardly get any chores done I was wondering if it would be safe once u put her to bed to set the camera on her to go downstairs for an hour or two to do chores. Everything I read online says no because of Sid's and I do have anxiety over Sid's. I would still be staying in the same room as her overnight. I want to hear everyone's opinions and what they have done. Thankyou x

Bedtime

My girl is 8 weeks just wanting to know what time people are roughly doing last nap then bedtime. Also do you dream feed

Nap times

Little boy is nearly 6 weeks when do you start doing timed naps currently he just sleeps when ever where ever but I’m think soon I will have to start put him down for naps, and would like to introduce his cot eventually so he’s used to it when he starts sleeping there once he’s out from the next to me

Advice for stopping breast feeding

Has anyone got any tips or advice for stopping breastfeeding that actually work? Everyone I seem to ask doesn’t seem to give useful advice or helplines don’t reply as soon as I say she’s 13 months.

We have managed to drop some feeds but not able to drop more.

My little one is 13 months old, I’m so ready to stop but it’s her only comfort. She has no comforter as never took to one.

At home she won’t sleep without it unless she’s in a car/pram. She goes to nursery and with other family members in the day time and sleeps no problem for them.

Health Visitor advised someone else doing her bedtime routine, but she won’t settle for anyone else if she knows I’m home, she gets herself so worked up and stressed out.

I’ve tried going cold turkey but I end up giving into her as I hate seeing her so distressed.

I’ve tried distractions, snacks, water playing with toys but only works sometimes for a short period of time.

She won’t drink cows milk either.

I’ve tried plasters but she peels them off.

I don’t like the thought of putting anything “bad” on my nipples.

Any other tips that worked for you?

august mamas how are we sleeping?

what stretches are your little ones doing😌💕

Let's talk bras

Hey mamassss 💕

New to momin', so for those who breast feed/fed (or didnt and it just happens, NO Shame!) And the milkshakes went deflated... what kind of bras are yall wearing that some lift & support that are comfy?

Idk of this is a silly question but I can never get a real answer 😂 Its either "idk" or there is none. I just wanna feel a lil sexy again, have some good support without lookin like theyre melting out the middle from all the extra skin 😂🥲 Seems like sports bras and nursing ones are the only ones that meet the bar lol anyone else?!
