Hi :) I have a just turned 2 year old and 5 month old and honestly I don’t know how I’m going to make it through the day sometimes.

My 5 month old has colic and reflux-2 year old needs so much also

Some days I feel like I’m drowning

Does anyone else feel the same?
We try to get out every day for walks/ baby groups.

Hey babe, my 1st was really colicy and I had ppd, that when my 2nd came 15 months later is feels nothing compared to that. As you already know, this doesnt last forever so please juat soak it in and it will get better. I think another few months and you can sit with them both playing etc. Does your 2 year old go to nursery? Do you have any mum friends near by? Im here if you wanna chat x

Mine are now 8monthd and 2.3years. I found it hard but my eldest was in nursery for the 2.5 days free funding otherwise I would have gone into a hole I think. I did also skint myself to pay for extra nursery before I got funding and my sanity was more important but I know that isnt always an option.

It will get easier, at the minute both of mine are now waking up so yoyoing into both bedrooms at night makes me feel crazy , ive given my eldest his dummy back as it helps, def pick your battles and dont make things harder for yourself where you can..
When I dont have time we have ready meals for all and blended for baby.

Take each day as it comes enjoy the good moments and when it is feeling rubbish think tomorrow is a new day and it will pass. Dont get bogged down on enjoying 'every' moment and all that, its really hard and tough at time and nobody remembers when they were 3 and wore milk stained clothes and fed ready meals lol
You might just need a quiet year or two, you still have the early years left xx

Night time popping

Hello!
My baby is finally sleeping through the night with 1 bottle only. HOWEVER. As soon as that bottle is done, he starts popping. I kid you not, only 1 night this week he didn't poop.
I am not gonna leave him in his own poop until morning.

Anyone been through this and found a solution?

Baby monitors

It's not long now until my baby goes into his own room and id like some opinions on baby monitors😅
Also how loud are they? I worry I won't wake up if the monitor isn't loud enough 🫣

Nursing bra

Ladies, throw me some suggestions for nursing bra's please. Last time I had some from amazon and overall they were good I just don't find them as supportive/ shaping as i would like. Also they need to be fairly budget friendly and plus size.

I'd love to be able to buy the expensive ones but cant. Tia.

Health visitors

I’m seeing so many people talking about them still having contact with their health visitors… I haven’t seen mine since my daughter was 2 months old nor had a check in. Just wanted to know if that’s normal or is it because of the area I live in?

Car seats

Are people still using the same car seat from birth or have they upgraded? Any recommendations?

I’ve noticed some friends are putting their children front facing - is this okay at such a young age?
