8 month has refused to nurse today?

Hi guys! My 8 month baby has stopped breast feeding since this morning and is also refusing solids. I have a feeling he is teething, but I could be wrong because this is my first baby and idk what's happening.
I was able to pump and give it to him in his sippy cup. It's his fourth day without having any solids and day 1 of not BF. Any advice? Anything I can do so that he breast feeds? Do I keep offering milk in the sippy cup? I'm just so worried.

Hiring a nanny

Hi guys! I used to live in Walthamstow previously but moving back again with a 6 month old. Does anyone have any recommendations of how they hired a nanny? Any websites they used or anything else that helped?

Baby only sleeping on me at night?

Hi guys! I'm a first time mum to a 5.5 month old baby who is ebf. I've been very lucky when it came to his sleeping schedule. He sleeps at 9 ish at night and wakes up 9 in the morning and only wakes up twice to feed. But since a week he refuses to sleep on the bed. We co sleep, and after his first feed at around 2am he cries uncontrollably until he's lying over me. I've no idea what to do, I just give up at one point and just sleep like that but honestly I'm exhausted. I'm tired of sleeping straight and idk what to do. Is this a phase? Will he go back to sleeping on the bed? Any advice? 😭

Baby only sleeping on me at night?

Hi guys! I'm a first time mum to a 5.5 month old boy. I've been very lucky since he was born; he goes to bed at 9:30 and wakes up at 9ish am and only wakes up twice to feed.
But since the last week he has ONLY been sleeping on me. All his naps are contact naps during the day, but at night he always sleeps and has never done this. Now when I put him down he cries his sleep until I pick him up. I'm exhausted of sleeping straight, my back hurts and I just want to cry. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a phase? I'm just so tired and want him to go back to his routine :(

We are moving back in Aug and I would ideally love to move back to Walthamstow (in Aug). I've been looking at places on zoopla and right move, but just wanted to check if anyone has any other ideas/resources I should try that have worked out for anyone else?

hi guys. Just a first time mum and just hate how I look. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my child who is now 4 months old but I hate Everytime I look in the mirror. I even tried getting clothes in bigger sizes, but I just hate how they look on me. I understand I need to give myself some grace, but I'm ebf, not even eating tons because somehow lost my appetite but not loosing weight.

I guess it's just a rant, but has anything worked for everyone? I go on walks with my little one, workout a little bit, do house chores so I'm pretty active but hate how nothing is working. :(

I just miss how I used to look, and just get so depressed Everytime I try to dress up.
