Hello! My little one is 17 months and I am so lucky I got to spend a full 14 months with her at home on maternity leave and even luckier that she goes to a nursery where my mum (her nanny) works so I know she is well looked after while I am at work and I can get regular updates. However, it’s been 3 months now an...

i’ve been weaning my 7 month old properly for a couple weeks now, before she just wouldn’t take it anything now she has a good few spoonfuls. She’s had porridge, veg, weetabix and i’ve done dairy, gluten, peanut allergens. Today i decided to start her with 2 meals and gave her a lidl spaghetti bolognaise sachet, so ...

Someone please tell me they’ve experienced the same after birth/postpartum. I feel SO attached to my boyfriend since returning home from the hospital with baby. He has taken 2 weeks off with us due to being self-employed so is returning next Monday and I’m absolutely dreading it. Not even because I feel I can’t cope...

So today my 4 year old asked if we could go to the park but I said not today because I’ve got a poorly tummy (monthly, it hits me hard) she hugged my belly and asked if I’ve got another baby in there so I said no I’m just poorly. She then got upset and said she wants us to have another baby because she wants someone...

Sorry if this has already been asked, but what are people using to protect their babies skin from the sun? Will be trying to keep my little one out of the sun where possible but they are super fair so wondered what people recommend that is kind to their skin?

My daughter is still being fed every 3 hours, 5 times a day and she’s on 7oz She sleeps 12 hours a night I did try feeding on demand but I didn’t feel like she was having enough.

Has anyone had a health visitor come round to the house before birth? If so please can you let me know what to expect? Do I need to make sure the house is baby proofed and the nursery is finished etc?

Wasn’t sure what to caption this, but is this normal? My son’s legs don’t look “normal” but I need to know if they are before I jump to the conclusion that it is his CMT1A coming into play.

Is anyone else really struggling being able to put their LO down to sleep? He won’t sleep unless I’m holding him. He’s been like this literally since he was born. I sleep sitting up at night to hold him, it’s absolutely exhausting 🥲 Any advice or tips!!!

Hi, Currently exclusively breastfeeding at 4 weeks old. Also wanted to combi feed so have started trying to introduce a bottle a day of expressed milk for now. Started off having some milk (very on and off and didn't have more than 1 or 2 Oz) but now doesn't take any. Normally followed lately by hours of unsettled ...

Please spam me with your next-to-me crib recommendations… I was thinking the Snuzpod but now I am not sure.

Just having a rant.. but finding nights/mornings sooo so difficult! Now husband is back at work, it feels like there is so much pressure on me to get through the night (and try not to wake him as he works full time!) but I’m so bad at being woken up. When she starts making noises, it takes me such a long time just t...

Anyone else’s 2 week old refusing to sleep after a feed? We are awake for sometimes 2 hours after a feed. Any tips on how to settle them back to sleep through the night?

So I went to pick up my son and was told they did wet play in the MORNING. When I went to pick him up, his socks were damp and they were the same socks I put him in in the morning. His clothes were changed as those were clearly wet, so why not his socks? I’m actually fuming at the thought that he has been in wet soc...

Baby is on kendamill (for three weeks as was breastfeeding) the past day as been screaming in pain after feeds, I’m aware some people have said the formula has changed has this happened to anyone else with the new style of tub ? What formula do people recommend?

Baby has been in an absolute funk today. She’s 7 weeks and been up from 8/9am until now. A few 20 min snoozes here and there but she’s been so hysterical between. She’s been such a good easy baby up to now. I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I’m at a loss and struggling to settle. Everything is making her cry. In ...

Has anyone experienced a lip tie? Does it look like this at all?

Hey ladies, my daughter is 18mo & washing her hair is literal torture - like I dread & I'm sure she does too. She doesn't like the guard thingy that you can put on her head to stop the water going into her face, she rips it off either before I get started or whilst washing so that's pointless. Whilst I'm washing h...
