Baby not on the move!

Anyone else's baby not on the move yet? She can sit if I put her in that position myself, roll both ways and pull herself up if you're helping her but she cannot and will not crawl, bum shuffle... Nothing. Should I be worried

Behaviour

My sons father left us 2 weeks ago and hasn’t seen our little one and doesn’t want to. My son is 2 and half. In the last 2 weeks his behavior has changed, which I guess is to be expected. He’s hitting kicking biting, having tantrum. What can I do? Any advice welcome. And of course keeps calling daddy and crying 😔

Should I get sports bras or keep sizing up?

I’m 17 weeks and my boobs have already gotten so much bigger and my bras don’t fit. Do I just get sports bras or get regular bras and keep sizing up? Is one healthier for your boobs than the other?

Increase of supply

I need honest feedback from moms that were under suppliers and if they were able to get their supply up and comfortably feed their babies and maybe have little stash? If so, how?

Help! Baby girl hates car rides.

I’m I the only one in this boat? 😅 She can deal for 15 minutes but then gets fussy and wants to get out. She cries to the point of a full blown meltdown. We have to pull over multiple times to calm her. It’s been a challenge visiting family that lives 30 minutes away. I can admit it’s given me anxiety to drive with…

Spit up / sicky baby (formula fed)

My little boy is 17 days old and has had problems bringing up his wind / pooping, pretty much since the beginning. We have started him on infacol which worked really well to begin with but the last couple of days seems less effective, atleast that's what I'm putting it down too. LO has been spitting up and being sic...

Haven’t felt any Braxton Hicks??

FTM just shy of 35 weeks and I still haven’t felt very many Braxton Hicks… is that cause for concern? I have felt my belly tighten a bit on a few occasions, but I haven’t felt anything that feel like “practice contractions.”
