Slept through the night
Last night my baby slept from 11:45 until I woke her at 6:10 (when I woke up panicked that she hadn’t woken me up at any point). Shes EBF and 5 weeks + 4 days old. FTM here. Shes been poorly with a cold (we’ve both had it) since last Monday but appears to be much better the last couple of days. Whilst she was poo...
When did you move your little one into their own room?
My little boy still sleeps in our room with us, I always planned to keep him in with us till he turned one (I think that’s what the NHS recommended) but then we found out he has sleep apnea so i’ve been too worried to have him sleeping in another room, but we have another little one due in May so I’m thinking it mig...

Teat sizes!
My little one is turning 13weeks on Monday and just wondered when’s a good time to progress to the next teat size! She’s happy during feeds and doesn’t get frustrated so mummy instinct is to leave it a bit longer! What did you mummas do?
Vaginal birth recovery
I had a natural vaginal birth four days ago and a second degree tear, and my recovery has been brutal. I was always told that vaginal delivery has a fast recovery, but I haven't been able to walk straight. Sitting is painful, standing up is painful. When I stand up, I feel a lot of pressure down there, everything hu...
Not crawling?
When does not crawling become a worry? My little one is 8 months and won’t even attempt to crawl. She can walk while holding our fingers and is constantly pulling herself up to stand on things so i know it’s not a strength problem. When we do tummy time she just rolls herself over and won’t entertain the thought of...
Driving with baby
Hello How do you find driving with your baby? Do they like it? Hate it? My LO is 15 weeks old and she used to hate the car seat .. I think she still does but because she can see more around her then she probably gets more entertained. My husband and I have been terrified of leaving her in the car seat so we ne...
Am I looking into this too much?
Me and my mum don't get on that well and she has always been a bit of an attention seeker / needy. Today I heard her playing with my daughter upstairs and then heard her saying she was sad. I then heard my 2 year old asking her repeatedly why she was sad. Then I heard 'I'm really sorry granny'. I then went up to f...
4/5 months old bedtime
What time are your babies going to bed at 4, almost 5 months? We have tried an earlier bedtime but it just results in lots of wakings and an early morning so we aren't putting him down until 9:30/10 but found then he will sleep until 7/8am! I've read so many conflicting things saying they should be getting 12 hours ...
