We are in a 30yo brick house with no heating in the bedroom. I've been dressing baby in a singlet, singlet suit, long suit, long fleece suit and 3.5tog sleeved sleepsuit. He's still unsettled from midnight onwards. We are potentially looking at teething so it could be that but I think he's cold because when I pick him up and cuddle, he's usually asleep before I have even sat back down in bed. He sleeps in a cot beside me and I won't consider cosleeping. He's also EBF so I put him on the boob if he's awake but he's mostly comfort sucking.

We're just starting solids and honestly thought it would be a breeze as bub was showing all the ready signs. Alas, it's not going so smoothly. Trying to strike a balance between BLW and spoon feeding.

My bub loves when we do this song by storytime rhyme! I am (almost) certain I have seen a longer version on a video before but didn't save it as bub was still tiny and I didn't know I'd want it. Does anyone know a longer version than big, small, short, tall, fast, slow, yes, no?

I'm very pro vaccination etc but my PPA is going crazy with 6mo vaccines coming up this week. Please tell me it will be okay? Bub has been fine for other immunisations but I've heard bad stories about the 6mo ones. Also, an acquaintance of mine lost her bub at 6mo to SIDS so my anxiety is at an all time high anyway.

I've been lurking on fashion threads etc but not really finding what I'm after, so maybe other mums can help? My little one is 6 months now so we are out almost everyday, and I literally have two outfits for myself - jeans and a tee if we're shopping/socialising or tights and an oversized tee if we're playing/walking/exercising. I'm so over it!

I've always gone for these types of outfits but to be fair, I used to have a few jeans and nice tops, now I only fit in one pair and I don't really feel confident enough to wear nicer stuff or singlets.

I've tried shopping but everything that I think looks nice on other mums just looks frumpy on me.

Any tips to get out of the tights and oversize tee "mum uniform"? Do I just need to keep trying things to find my style?

Also, any tips for comfy but still presentable casual pants? I had visible abs and a waist pre pregnancy, so nothing fits right now that I have loose skin and more fat.

Just in the last few weeks I have started feeling very frustrated or overstimulated at the end of nursing sessions in the evenings. Like I'll go from totally chill sleepy feed, reading Reddit, to omg get off my nipple. At this point, bub is not actually swallowing, just comfort sucking. But this never used to bother me. I will unlatch bub if I know he's not feeding and is ready to sleep, but I feel guilty. Am I just overstimulated at the end of the day? Bub has been a little grump lately with big developmental milestones etc. Anyone else feel this?

Every time I think I'm going to get a little cuddle, his baby hands yank my hair so hard that you would think his milk supply depended on it.

I love my Vista but now that bub is more comfortable sitting, I'd like to get something for day-to-day errands and keep the Vista for our outdoor walks etc. Main reason is space as I have a compact SUV, so the Vista takes up the whole boot. Does anyone have a budget friendly pram along the lines of Bugaboo Butterfly?

So these family members have visited twice and otherwise just seen my baby at a few family gatherings. Suddenly they are requesting a regularly scheduled time once a fortnight to take my baby one on one, either out for a walk or stay home and I go out. My mum anxiety is not coping. My baby hasn't been babysat at all. While I do want my baby to have a good relationship with said family members, I want to push back to at least 9 months old and I want to be present for visits to begin with. Am I being unreasonable? Their reasoning is that baby will start to recognise people soon.

I have lived in my tights for a long, long time. To be fair, I was working in a personal training role and super fit. If I wasn't in tights, I'd be in jeans, which I used to find very comfortable (or shorts or dresses when appropriate). But I'm a new mum now and desperate to find something for day to day wear that is comfy enough to be on the floor etc. I used to love wearing my jeans but they don't fit my mid section well anymore. I am 5'4 and 65kg, so I have always felt the wide leg pants do not suit me and that has stopped me from branching out.

Please help me find something reasonably priced. Also preferably from a shop I can go to try on with bub in the pram. I can't really get into places like sportsgirl which I used to love looking in.

Just wondering if this actually happens. I really want to but I keep being told it's unreasonable and I'll change my mind when bub is older or when I have a second baby. My only exception has been brief video calls with family.
