DD is now 15 months old, and we've decided to take the plunge and begin the exciting journey of trying for #2!

I'm breastfeeding DD, so my cycles are a tad out of whack. They've gone from 31 days before she arrived, right down to between 21 and 25 days! I've been attempting to track, but ovulation seems to be something that happens one month, but not the next. We're having fun in the meantime though!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all as we go through this together. Hopefully it'll be short but sweet... Trying to be optimistic! 😂

Ideas for fake snow that will stick to decorations, not stuff to put down AS decoration. I'm needing something that will stick to baubles, or other hanging Christmas decorations. It needs to withstand shipping, repeated usage, but also looks good! Thanks in advance! :)

OK hive mind, I need some help. LO started on solids and her poo has turned to a peanut butter consistency! I use fleece liners, which go into the machine with the nappies and until now I've just chucked my bf poo nappies in to wash... Obviously now that's a no-go! Tips on scraping? ... shudder or any other ways to combat the sludgy poo. It's so disgusting. Today I genuinely was scraping with wipes... Definitely a low point! Thanks in advance!

I use bambino miosolos during the daytime, and moxxy hybrids with a PUL wrap at night. I've been using reusable fleece liners, but I feel like going back to bamboo disposables might be the way to go until her poo solidifies more...

So I'd like to help my little one learn to fall asleep on her own. Until now I've pretty much fed her to sleep which takes maybe 30 minutes tops, or had to sit next to the cot for +1.5 hours until she wears herself out, but I still have to be in the room. Will this time eventually become shorter as she learns that cot + dummy + teddy = sleep? Or should I change my tactic?

I'd like to add that although the methods may work for you, I'm not interested in CIO or controlled crying approaches.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi all, so lo goes on feeding strikes when she's teething, and it's been emotionally draining, and with my pna it's been awful worrying about her not feeding, and her weight dropping. However, this time round I decided to just go with the flow, and simply offer throughout the day, and if she pops off after a couple of seconds then hey ho, I've tried. In the past I've offered formula to make sure she was feeding at all, but since offering more often, she's not had any formula at all!! Yay!

I hated the worry of bottles, and forcing myself to pump to keep my supply up. She's started feeding throughout the night (literally latching... And feeding... For hours on end.). Which has meant that thr

So I've only just got a double pump, and as I sit here feeling like a dairy cow, I've noticed that from my left side, my milk is more concentrated in colour? I guess it means my right boob makes slightly more watery milk? My right also produces more (which I've always known). I'm not concerned, just fascinated! Anyone else notice a difference between right and left?

LO still feeds every 2 hours or so during the day for about 10-15 minutes a time, and has increased her number of feeds at night from 1 (she sleeps from 7.30am and previously only woke up at about 5am for a feed), to waking up at about 1am and essentially attaching herself on and off all night from then (we cosleep). Is this an actual sign of a supply drop? I know lots of us worry because our boobs aren't leaking or they've gone down in size, but mine haven't really changed.

She went on feeding strike about a month ago, so I was formula feeding a lot during that time and I know my supply dropped then. But once she had stopped that, and started to BF again, she cluster fed for a couple of d

She's been combination fed for at least the last month. This was mostly because she needed medication which needed mixing with milk and expressing before every feed she had was exhausting.

The last few days she's refused the boob more and more. She'll arch her back, cry, pull away, and simply not eat. But if I give her a bottle she'll take it, no issues whatsoever. Today she hasn't wanted my breasts at all, and cried for 20 minutes while I tried to feed her, before I gave her a bottle and she drank the lot.

Later today I'm going to try giving her breastmilk in a bottle to see if it's my milk that's the issue, or if it's me. It's getting me so down. It was the one thing we had that no one

I cosleep with my now 10 week old, and so far I've been simply going to bed with her when I'd normally head up (around half 10). I want to get her started in a bedtime routine that starts earlier, but in taking her to bed for 8pm or earlier, it seems I'll need to do the same as she can't sleep on her own (trust me, we've tried!!).

What do you do when it's your lo's bedtime?
