My husband became a monster

Since our baby was born my husband changed, he is a completely different person, now he is always mad and yells at me all the time. He did everything possible for me to go crazy (literally because now I have postpartum depression and I was having really bad panic attacks and suicidal thoughts) I started going to the...

Walking

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.

Night pumping

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?

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...

Getting yourself ready

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 🥴

How long did you breastfeed for?

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?

Help a girl out - if you use a great under eye cream that helps with brightness and reducing dark circles please recommend.

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

Has anyone done sleep training?

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

Tummy Sleeping

Is it okay for LO to sleep on me on their stomach? I know safe sleeping says on their back but during a contact nap (where I’m fully awake) can they be on their tummy?

Am I doing something wrong?

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...

How long does your baby nap for the whole day?

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?

6 month old constipated

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...

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...

Introducing formula

I know all HV say this won’t make baby sleep longer but has any one tried it and it’s had a positive impact on sleep? My little one for the last few months has been waking every hour - two hours. I can hardly get him to feed in the day as he is too distracted. I was wondering if giving a bottle of formula in the d...
