I’m feeling really guilty because my baby gets mostly formula due to low breast milk supply.
Are there parents here whose babies were primarily formula-fed and are still healthy with good immunity? How often do they get sick?
I’d really appreciate hearing your real-life experiences. ❤️
Hi everyone,
I’m looking to buy a rocker or bouncer for my newborn daughter. She’s around 2 weeks old and weighs about 2.5 kg.
My main goal is to have a safe place where she can stay happily for 15–30 minutes while awake, look around, and be gently soothed so my wife and I can get a short break.
Would you recommend a **rocker, bouncer, or swing** for a baby this young? Which one did your baby actually enjoy?
Any advice or things to avoid would be really helpful. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I’m a new mom and I’m really anxious about burping and aspiration. After feeding my baby, even small coughs or spit-up make me panic that milk might go into her airway. I always try burping and keeping her upright, but I still keep overthinking every little sound or movement.
How do you know everything is actually fine? And when does this fear usually reduce for new parents?
Hi everyone,
I’m from India and have a 10-day-old baby girl. We’re currently supplementing feeds and I’m trying to find a bottle with a flow that’s somewhere between Philips Avent Natural Response and Chicco Natural Feeling.
My experience so far:
Philips Avent Natural Response: My baby can suck from it, but she seems to get tired and often falls asleep before finishing 30 ml.
Chicco Natural Feeling (0m+): She finishes 30 ml in about 5 minutes. She doesn’t cough, choke, or leak milk from the corners of her mouth, but it feels a little fast to me.
I’m looking for a bottle that’s:
Available in India
Suitable for a newborn (10 days old)
More breastfeeding-friendly
Easier than Philips, but slower/more controlled than Chicco
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Which bottle worked for your baby? I’ve been considering Pigeon Softouch/Peristaltic Plus and LuvLap Natura Flo, but would love to hear real-world experiences.
34+5 weeks pregnant, cervix 1.7 cm and internal os 1.4 cm open with funneling. My gynecologist is advising delivery around Friday (35+1) as she feels I could go into labor anytime. However, I’d really like to keep baby in for at least one more week if possible.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and still made it to 36+ weeks? Any advice or experiences? ❤️
Anyone of you gave birth at 35 weeks. How’s your baby doing? Do they need NICU. If yes, for how many weeks?
34+3 weeks pregnant. Cervical length is 1.7 cm with funneling, and my internal OS is open 1.4 cm. Anyone else had a similar situation around 34–35 weeks? How long did you stay pregnant afterward, and did your baby need NICU time?
Any first-time moms here who chose an elective C-section?
Do you regret it, or would you make the same choice again? What were the biggest pros and cons for you, especially regarding recovery and the overall birth experience?
I’d love to hear honest experiences.
Hello, I am around 34 weeks and got few stretch marks on lower belly. I have been religiously applying virgin coconut oil on the belly from beginning.
I recently saw many influencer promoting orimmi belly care products. I asked gpt and it says that if you think you can afford it, it’s better to use but it won’t make much difference.
My question is, did anyone used it and see any difference or should i continue using coconut oil only.
Here is the one i was talking about:

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant. I am very much afraid of normal delivery as i read alot of stories. However, I heard people telling the c section are easier than normal delivery as both involves stitches.
Can someone share their positive birth stories. I am very much afraid at this point of time.
Hi, I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant and my cervix length is around 2.6 cm. I know this can be on the shorter side, and it’s making me a little worried. Has anyone here had similar cervical measurements in the third trimester and still had a full-term or healthy delivery? What helped you the most (rest, progesterone, monitoring, etc.)?
I also had spotting issue and doctor suggested bed rest. I am so anxious right now.
