I think with the warmer weather and his head se...

Sleeping at night is a nightmare.

My lo (6mo) wakes every 1 to 1.5 hours at night. He's hard to get to sleep and struggles to stay asleep.No chance of self settling. He wakes up screaming.

Cleaning Baby’s Tongue

So I just saw a reel of a mother cleaning her baby’s tongue with a rag talking about you should be doing this for your baby from birth. I have never in my life heard of such a thing nor seen it. Is this actually a thing we are supposed to be doing? Please tell me because I already feel bad….

Curious…

Just curious how many mums have their kids (not babies) sleep in their bed? My 5 year old currently spends a few hours in their own bed and always ends up waking up and coming into mine leading my partner to always sleep on the sofa. Anyone else?

Storing and keeping extra diapers?

My daughter grew out of diapers before we could use them up. I was told by someone to keep them and store them. Honestly it seems weird to keep them when I don't plan on having another child for 2-3 years. I'm debating if it's worth keeping or selling or giving away.

Gas in babies

My breastfed baby is 13 days old but cries and grunts and makes horrid noises when she’s trying pass wind / poo. It seems really difficult for her. Does anyone else have experience with this? I’m trying to burp her after feeds etc but she seems really uncomfortable.
