My son is 2 in April and he’s on 1 nap a day. He was so good at napping in his cot. He’d love going up and sleep for around 2 hours and I could get things done. For the last 2 weeks, as soon as it’s time for nap time, he asks for the car and if I take him up, he has a full on meltdown so I’ve had no option but to d...

Any recommendations for a car seat or on how to get the seat to stop forcing baby boys chin into his chest? The one that came with my travel system forces his chin into his chest, the only way he can use it is by me having to adjust the headrest to pull his head back a bit, but I’m not sure this then provides enoug...

My 3 year old is constantly overtired, please send help 😂 he sleeps 7:30-5:30ish is tired still but won’t go back to sleep. He used to nap to catch up (I’d give him 2 hours) sounds crazy I know but then that night he would sleep 7:30-6:30 so he essentially gets an extra 3 hours and is soooo much happier in himself…

My little guy makes the craziest sounds when he sleep, and he kicks his legs and moves his head and grunts and is absolutely impossible to sleep through. So my question is how do you know when to just leave them to do their thing and when to pick them up Becuase he wants a feed or nappy change or just a hug? Do you ...

Omds I’m losing my mind!! My 2 year old sleeps at 9pm but wakes up at 6am every day! He used to get 10 hours at night with frequent wake ups, now he sleeps through from 12-6am but is up way too early. Nap is 2-3 hours long bc he doesn’t get enough sleep at night. I’m also pregnant and running on about 5hrs sleep. Is...

Anyone else a solo mama, working full time and in the final year of their degree? Any tips to survive the last couple months of study before my 6 years of hard work is complete? Toddler has sleep regression too, thankful for a very understanding boss, but absolutely drowning in it all right now. Can anyone relate or...

My little boy was 13 months on 3rd March. He still hasn’t taken any steps, he stands all the time but would still rather crawl. Are everyone else’s babies who are a similar age on here walking yet? I’m always so worried about him being behind.

You see the way you can leave breast milk at room temp for 5 hours, does this mean if I pumped at 2am, I could use the same pump (without washing) again at 6am, then put that milk in fridge, wash and sterilise the pumps?

4 the past few month my 19 month old will not sleep unless he is contact sleeping. He always been a restless sleeper and woke regular for breastfeeds or to be touch so he can drift back off. But yeah past two months or so he wants to use me as a pillow. Who else's little one like this. He still breastfeeds but not e...

With baby on the move and pulling to stand on everything, how are you getting yourselves ready for the day? I've tried containing him in his cot but he tries to stand in there and ends up falling and bopping his head on the bars. It's getting increasingly difficult to just get ready for the day 🥴

My baby is 5months, 2 months corrected as he was 3 months early & I wanted to stop breastfeeding soon (at around the 6 months mark) I’m currently mixed feeding, but I just feel so guilty as he also uses my chest for comfort. So I’m just wondering the average durations everyone else is doing/done?

I could up my water intake and sleep could be better but have a 3 year old 🤪

Please let me know it's not just mine.... is anyone else's BF LO still on 8 feeds in 24hrs? And are any still having 2 or more night feeds?

My boy is 6 months old and he’s never slept a full night ever. Wake windows are every 2-3 hours and honestly my body is craving a full night sleep. I also have a toddler who wakes up between 5:30-6am so I feel so sleep deprived

How do you feel about kids being unvaccinated? Have you met adults that are unvaccinated? Does anyone know where i can look at reliable unbiased facts about vaccines, and whether or not to get them? Im a first time mom and im having a hard time with it all

Moo is 18 months and she’s been waking at 4am everyday for at least 6-7 weeks now, There was one occasion she slept in until 6am and that was in her travel cot, She’s not napping properly in her cot very well either. Now I’m thinking does she need the sides removing as she needs more space!?! The cotbed and mattre...

Hi all. Little boys sleep has been all over the show the last month. Use to be a 7-7 sleeper when he was younger and all of a sudden when hit 6 months was awful. He is 11 months now and for the last two weeks he is only taking one nap per day which lasts 2.5/3 hours. This means by 7pm he is exhausted but he will not...

I made the mistake of letting mine nap for 4.5hrs in total yesterday for us to be starting the day at 4:30am today. How long does your baby nap all day? How much night sleep do they get? When do they start the day?

So my little one just turned 6 months a couple weeks ago and I’ve started giving him rice cereal - just a tablespoon a day. He hasn’t pooped in 3 days and today he did, but it looked hard. He was also straining and grunting a lot, but thankfully not crying in pain. I’m a little worried. How much water are we meant t...

Is anyone else experiencing ‘false starts’ every time their LO goes to bed for the night? My baby is waking every 20 minutes or so and needing resettling every evening for a good few hours no matter what we try. Any tips on how to stop it? Or does anyone deal with similar? Will it end?! - wake window is on avera...
