Hows everyone doing after 12 week jabs? My baby has them a couple hours ago and is full of beans!

Is anyone else struggling to give their toddler a bath , my son is 17 months old and now decided he hates the bath and as soon as he’s put in the bath he stands up screaming and crying and grabbing me to get him out even tho I’m right there next to him . Any tips on how to get him to have a bath and like it again?. ...

Every morning without fail, everyday, my spouse wakes up, and is mean. He verbally says out loud “why tf am I doing this? God! I hate this black bitch!”

Packaging that has seals with pull tabs THAT DON'T PULL! They enrage me. Why bother with the illusion of a tab if you know damn well I'm going to have to get a knife and pull this crap off in 57 pieces anyway 🫠

Can anyone recommend a good baby monitor to get? 🙂

Does anyone know if one is better than the other? Currently 21 weeks and suffering from pretty severe pelvic pain but not sure at this stage would be more effective? Any thoughts or anyone with experience in this field?

How often do people sterilise breast pumps? I am exclusively breastfeeding through pumping due to poor latch and sterilising pump every 3 hours after each use is overwhelming, specially at nights.

We’re still rocking our nearly 11-month-old to sleep for both naps and bedtime. Lately, she has started waking at either 1 a.m. or around 4-5 a.m. needing to be rocked again, which is exhausting. It’s killing my back, and it’s also affecting my partner’s sleep (and mine!). I’m wondering if this is sustainable as sh...

How does everyone clean their baby's after each meal? Every meal is soooo messy!!! We have done baby wipes, a flannel, etc, but I feel like my LB needs a bath after every meal 🫣😂

When did everyone get their first period back after pregnancy I’m 5 weeks pp tomorrow I had a natural delivery not breastfeeding and just wondering when everyone got theirs so I know roughly when to expect it 🤣🤍

Have any one used a sleep coach or can anyone recommend any sleep training books please. Thank you x

Hi ladies, we brought an Egg2 as our travel system and I absolutely hate it… we rarely ever use it as he’s always in the carrier, or just the car seat clicked onto the wheels. We’ve barely used the bassinet at all passed 6ish weeks old and not even bothered getting the bigger seat out yet as Its such a faff (huge&he...

How long after 8 week jabs did your little ones have a temp ? My LO had his jabs on Monday afternoon and still has a temperature this morning. He seems fine in himself just wondering at one point to I ring 111 ?

My son is currently on antibiotics and we've got some of it on his toys. It's really sticky. How do I wash toys with rattles/crinkly toys? Can I put them in the washing machine?

Hi, My little boy is nearly 14 months old and he's not walking yet. He can cruise quite happily around furniture, pulls himself up fine but won't stand independently, will walk with a walker and will walk a little holding hands but won't even try on his own. I'm not overly concerned about the walking as such but the...

My baby is currently 4 weeks and seems to breastfeed for up to an hour at a time (he seems to be a bit lazy and doesn’t always suck, falls asleep a bit and unlatches sometimes) Is this normal? And does anyone have any advice to make breastfeeding more productive to hopefully reduce the time he’s breastfeeding for.

My son has been going through this phase for months and months now, he wakes up in the middle of the night shouting for mummy on 3 or 4 occasions and I will put him back to bed but eventually I just give in and put him in our bed! I am in my 3rd trimester and I am absolutely exhausted, bed times are hard work as he ...

What is everyone’s bedtime routine? I want to make the best bedtime routine for my 5 month old to sleep longer stretches (currently waking every 2hrs she is breastfed) but sometimes she won’t go straight back to sleep?

Hi all. Baby is now 4 months and up to now I've been mainly doing contact naps or long walks in the pram to get him to sleep (and he will sleep in the car as well). I had tried cot naps earlier on and he would just wake up, and then saw some advice that practising independent sleep isn't really necessary until 4 mon...

Oh baby is 2 weeks and 2 days. We thought we had his feeding figured out a little but the last two/three days he has being really difficult to feed. He was taking 4oz every 2.5/3 hours. Which the HV recommended as he was drinking his full 3oz and waking for more. The last couple of days, he has been waking during t...
