What's everyone's plans re. Visitors after baby is born? I'm happy for all parents/siblings to visit at the hospital, but ideally would like to go home and have 2 weeks uninterrupted, especially because we have a dog who I'd like to ensure adjusts to the change comfortably without the overexcitement of extra guests...

Boy Moms! My baby is a week old & got circumcised today. Im literally si scared when it comes to changing him now & he seems so uncomfortable. Any tips on taking care of him. Doctors gave me instructions but just want some advice. ☹️☹️

Has anyone started putting their April 2024 babies to sleep on their tummy over night?

I get this out (abt 17 ml) within 2-3 mins from one breast and could probs do more but I’m confused if it’s actually colostrum im collecting ?? as I managed maybe 2-3 ml with my first pregnancy and thought that it’s normal amount ..

I know we are all aware of the guidance that our babies should sleep in the same room as us until they are 6 months old. However, how many if you have moved then into their room early? My baby girl is just over 4mths, and sleeps 12 hours a night. She is a noisy active sleeper and I feel like I am being woken up by h...

Question about the 4 month sleep regression? This might be a silly question, I blame the sleep deprivation🤣 but the way my child is during the 4 month sleep regression, is that what she will be like from now? For example she now wakes for a bottle and is unsletted from 5am, will this be our new normal or will she…

Anyone find at 10weeks their little one just wanted to sleep constantly again? Hoping he’s just growing but stressing that he’s brewing a bug or something. He slept 10pm-11am over night (he did half stir and took a feed) he was then back asleep 12-4. We did get some smiles and fun throughout the evening but he still...

If your bd mom told you to get that baby and get out of her house would you allow your baby around her again? I’m trying to be a bigger person and not cause any friction but I’m literally holding back tears as her dad is getting ready to take her to see his mom…. Called me all types of b’s and screamed and yelled at...

Anyone’s baby 3 months show signs of autism ? Or if you thought it was and wasn’t

My baby is a little under 3 weeks old and it feels like whenever she is awake she’s crying. She actually sleeps well at night but during the day has a hard time falling asleep for naps and is only content for 5-10 minutes of any wake window and otherwise cries no matter what we do. Any advice?

My 15 day old boy is feeding every 30 minutes for about 20 to 30 minutes, he’s pooping a good amount and his pee is pale yellow. He’s beautiful and alert and takes small naps in between. Pretty sure he’s cluster feeding but just wanted some advice or if anyone has any experience with this, thank you!

My daughter is 2 weeks old tomorrow and currently cluster feeding (breastfeeding) all day every 1-2 hours. I know it’s normal for them to do it during a part of the day but not all day. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi ladies! So our baby is 6 months. My mother in law and I bought 3 tins of formula. It was only when friends came round that I realised there was a 6 months onwards formula! Is our daughter still okay drinking it for now? Xx
