My 9 month old baby is pooing 3/4 times a day and it’s been like this colour for a while now. I’m so sorry about the picture but wanted some opinions 🩵
When did everyone let their babies sleep out with their grandparents? I don’t know what’s too early or late 🥲

My baby girl is 8 weeks old and I’m still struggling with her feeding and sleeping routine. I’m purely bottle feeding, During the day she’s feeding 3-5oz every 3-4 hours. She suffers with colic, stuggles to get her wind up,and is taking an hour+ to feed which is making it hard to plan when im out. I’m not sure if ...
…for my 11 day old baby to still need feeding (ebf) every hour day and night? He has so many wet nappies and is gaining weight like crazy so I know he’s getting enough milk overall but I think he’s a grazer which then means he eats more often. I need to know I’m not the only one having to feed every hour!!! 😫
Help! I’m a first time mum and have a 3 week old baby. He’s recently moved onto formula (kendamil) and has been having 5oz bottles which he drains every time in around 20mins or so. My midwife has said to up him to 6oz and see if he wants more. He now finishes a 6oz bottle…is this too much, or is this okay? Can I o...
I literally have the WORST anxiety ever due to personal reasons. So I’m terrified of like anyone’s face going near my babies. Just like any mother but I literally go into meltdown down and my partners uncle kissed my baby on the lips!!!! What the hell do I do!!! I wiped her mouth like straight after! I went mad at h...
Is it ok to let your newborn (nearly 4 week old) fall asleep on you all the time? When we put him down mainly at nighttime he struggles to sleep unless he’s on us. I hear there is no ‘cry it out’ with newborns and having them asleep on you is fine at this age? Just don’t want to make a rod for our own back for when...
Has anyone bought an isofix attachment? Do you find it more convenient/safer than the usual belted in car seats? Is it something you can attach any car seat to or is it only compatible with a few? Are there also different brands that offer an isofix? I’m planning on buying a complete travel system and wondering if ...
Hiya just looking for some car seat advice, my little one is only 9 weeks old so we have some time yet but we only have the newborn car seat so I was just wondering does anyone have any recommendations for car seats that fit up to at least 4years old but that will fit into a small car? I don’t want a spin seat that’...
I love being a mum and have really been enjoying mat leave and caring for my baby but just the last couple days been really dreaming of the day when I can do something for myself again. I've tried pumping milk but it takes ages and the most I ever get is 60ml. My partner has tried doing a bottle feed and she just sc...
My daughter turns 1 in may (how😭) and I’m getting a bit worried about her jabs. Has anyone got any advice on what to do after? When she’s had her previous ones she was always very fussy after
I ask myself this daily, it’s so hard out here. I’m really struggling with pumping for my 8 week old son. I started pumping exclusively during the day and I just can’t produce enough, no more than 3 oz per pump. He’s taking a bottle of 4 oz per feeding at least 5 times during the day. I’ve tried the cookies, beer, p...
Does anyone have any tips for getting a bit more of a consistent bedtime routine in terms of timing? I follow her wake windows in the day but due to the length of time she sleeps for naps varying quite a lot it can mean that the time we start her bedtime routine/put her down to bed changes every day, sometimes she’s...
I was expressing for 3 weeks and giving baby through bottles. He is now able to latch using nipple shields but sometimes only drinks from one side? I think I have an over supply due to the expressing, but not sure if I should be 'forcing' him to take both sides each feed? He's 5 weeks.
Do you let your baby sleep as much as they want through the day (11 weeks old) or does this effect there night sleep?
