Feeling really sad and discouraged

I went to the baby club at the Everyman cinema this morning and I literally feel like crying. It was full of younger babies and newborns and my little one was there being a right old brat. She was tired but wasn't sleeping and if she did it would be for 2 minutes and then she would start screaming again. She was try...

Those who have babies who sleep through..

What time do you put your little ones to bed? Mine goes to bed at 7 as he’s shattered by then but he’s awake so much in the night I’m thinking about trying a much later bedtime?

Kendamil comfort

There’s a shortage of kendamil comfort and I’m in need of it so bad as I’ve got half a tin left and didn’t think it would be out of stock everywhere…has anyone struggled? Is it better to swap to another comfort formula or would that upset little one’s stomach by changing?xx

Health visitor

I had an appointment 7th November which she rang and changed for the following week because of an illness and she never turned up to that one either with no call/text. Do they still come when baby is born because she hasn’t bothered at all😂

Bath 🛁

Hello ladies , just wondering about baths. I haven’t had one since being pregnant, obviously I have showers 😂 I just ache and would love a bath! What is like the max temperature it can be. I’ve always been a bit edge to have one and it can’t be to hot. I’m currently 35 weeks. Thanks in advance 😊

Can a shop get your name when using Apple Pay?

My daughter got a little sick in a shop yesterday. I couldn’t find anyone to tell about it and my daughter was distressed so I couldn’t leave her and she wouldn’t move. I told a construction worker who came by and he went and got a staff member who cleaned it up. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible in c...

Needy newborn!

My 7 weeks old newborn baby is relentlessly crying if not being held! She started doing this from week 5 and I am really getting to a point where I feel so exhausted of carrying her around. I can't get anything done and she cries endlessly . I also feel no joy of having around due to this. She isn't smiling much an...

5 month old independent at bedtime?

Not sure what I’m trying to ask for really. I guess I’m wondering if it’s normal or not. Over the past 2 weeks, I realised that I think we’ve passed the 4 month sleep regression (LG is 5 months just over now) so I’ve been trying to implement a sturdy bedtime routine. We’ve gotten REALLY good at it, to the point now...

Anyone else’s child evil?!

We hit the terrible twos last month and my little boy has turned EVIL. It’s impossible to get him to sleep, he won’t co operate with anything. Everything is a problem, everything is tantrum worthy and he has become so destructive. I’ve lost 2 cups, 2 bowls and 5 Christmas ornaments this week because he’s smashed the...

Boy is 5 weeks tomorrow My story is baby wouldn’t latch from start, only v shallow latch that caused intense pain & nipple damage. I then got nipple shields & they worked so well, he latches great. I’ve used th...

Hi all 👋🏻 I’m looking at Moses baskets for my baby boy who’s due on New Year’s Eve🎉 I have an active toddler so definitely need to keep baby off the ground.
