Have you guys ever woken up at night with your own pee while you were sleeping? What do people do to solve this problem? I wake up about 5-8 times a night with my own pee. This has been going on for almost a week now. It makes me very sleep deprived. Very tired every day. 😖

Leap 4 is the gift that keeps on giving.
My husband just checked in with me about how I was feeling almost 5 months pp (he does this every few weeks or so, specifically asks about it). And I told him I was okay, listed a few things I was struggling with but that it was okay, I was okay. But truth be told I've had the sads for a few days now. The not doing ...
Hi I just need opinions. So i have a 4 month old who I've breast fed since he was born, his dad's side of the family were calling me selfish for not formula feeding and i apparently did it so they can't have him over night (not the case at all). So i tried mix feeding but he just threw up every single ounce so i sto...
We have the icandy peach 7 which states thst the seat isn’t to be used before 6 months.. my little boy is very big (3.5 months and 14.5lbs).

My second baby is going to be a boy, I had a girl first. She always wore bows so we never really put hats on her. I noticed we're getting a lot of gifts that are outfits with little hats.

Recently, I've started becoming so depressed and drained from being the typical "first born" where I'm the 2nd mother, and I handle all the family burdens that no one wants to deal with. I've done this my whole life, but something changed when I found out I was pregnant, I started putting myself and my wants first a...

My daughter is turning 3 months old on the 8th, she was exclusively breastfed, I had a feeding she wasn’t getting enough and I was right, she was getting less than an ounce to an ounce a feeding and that’s not enough, that caused my supply to dip tremendously.

My newborn doesn’t want to settle at night in his bassinet so I’ve had to introduce the dummy to see if it helps but it keeps falling out of his mouth. Any recommendations on dummies for newborns?
Suggestions for sleep sacks or something else that are not restrictive at all to keep bub warm halfway through the night? Throughout summer my LO (13m) has just been sleeping in light clothes with no sleep sack. Now it's getting colder he's in PJs but will wake in the early hours from the cold. When this used to ha...
The NHS advises against unpasteurised milk due to harmful bacteria. I’m in a total panic right now. How can I check my baby is going to be ok? Or if I have done any harm to her?
My little boy is only 11 weeks old but is getting too long for the 0-6 month sleep sacks 🥹😫 I’m worried the next jump is 6-12 months will be too big round his neck? Is there an in between size anywhere??
My hospital doesn’t do the Group B strep test and instead they give penicillin to all the newborn babies as a precaution. My midwife said it’s up to me but that they prefer to do this as there are a lot of false positives and false negatives for this bacteria. Researching about this now, my midwife told me penicilli...
