Premium Your Newborn Baby Week 2

by BabyYumYum February 1, 2026
written by BabyYumYum

By now, you may feel slightly more familiar with your baby, but your newborn baby week 2 can still bring plenty of surprises. Feeding may start to feel more established, although cluster feeding and unsettled periods are still very normal. You might notice your baby becoming a little more alert, with longer wake windows and brief moments of eye contact. At the same time, sleep can remain unpredictable, and your own recovery is still very much in progress. Each day brings small changes that slowly build your confidence and connection.

by Amanda Rogaly, Founder of BabyYumYum Parenting Portal January 30, 2026
written by Amanda Rogaly, Founder of BabyYumYum Parenting Portal

You ask your child to do something. Nothing happens. You ask again. Still nothing. When kids ignore instructions the first time, it’s not always about being stubborn. It could be about attention, routine, emotional state or how the message is delivered. Understanding why they tune out can help you parent more calmly and effectively. Discover what really helps when your child seems to have selective hearing.

Premium Understanding Autism and Sleep in Young Kids

by BabyYumYum January 29, 2026
written by BabyYumYum

Sleep challenges are incredibly common in young children with autism but they’re often misunderstood. From difficulty falling asleep and frequent night wakings to early rising and sensory sensitivities, many autistic children experience disrupted sleep patterns that can impact the entire family. Understanding the why behind these struggles is key to finding solutions that actually work. Whether it’s related to melatonin production, anxiety, routine changes or sensory overload, support starts with knowledge. Want to learn what’s typical, what’s treatable and how to help your child (and yourself) get more rest? Here’s the science about what every parent should know about autism and sleep.

by Ally Cohen, Content Creator and Digital Marketer January 28, 2026
written by Ally Cohen, Content Creator and Digital Marketer

Trying to conceive can be an emotional rollercoaster filled with hope, frustration, anxiety and doubt. One moment you're optimistic, the next you're second-guessing every symptom and spiralling into "What if?" thoughts. Many women ask themselves, “Am I overreacting?” as each month brings a new wave of fertility emotions tied to cycles, tests and timings. But what if these feelings are not only valid, but deeply human? Discover what each month can feel like on the fertility journey and why acknowledging these emotions matters more than you think.

Premium What Is a Velcro Baby? The Clingy Truth

by Ally Cohen, Content Creator and Digital Marketer January 27, 2026
written by Ally Cohen, Content Creator and Digital Marketer

If your baby cries the moment you step away, wants to be held all day and won’t settle without you close, you might just have a Velcro baby. These clingy little ones aren’t trying to be difficult; they simply have higher needs for comfort, connection and reassurance. While it can feel exhausting, this intense attachment is actually a sign of strong bonding and secure development. But why are some babies extra clingy, and how can you cope without burning out? Here’s what it really means to have a Velcro baby, and how to survive (and thrive) through the cling.

by Ally Cohen, Content Creator and Digital Marketer January 26, 2026
written by Ally Cohen, Content Creator and Digital Marketer

Not all children show their school anxiety in obvious ways and many parents don’t realise it until it’s affecting sleep, appetite or behaviour. While some kids cry or resist going to school, others may become unusually quiet, complain of tummy aches or suddenly struggle with concentration. These hidden signs are easy to overlook, especially during busy school mornings. Understanding what school anxiety really looks like can help you support your child before the stress builds up. Curious about the subtle signs and what you can do to help? Keep reading to find out more.

Premium How to Talk to Your Daughter About Her Body Without Creating Insecurities

by Amanda Rogaly, Founder of BabyYumYum Parenting Portal January 25, 2026
written by Amanda Rogaly, Founder of BabyYumYum Parenting Portal

Your daughter is already hearing things about bodies – on the playground, online, even in passing comments from grown-ups. So, wouldn’t you rather she hear the truth about her body from you first? Knowing how to talk to your daughter about her body doesn’t have to be awkward or uncomfortable. In fact, it can be empowering (for both of you). It’s not about diets or looks. It’s about teaching her how to love, respect and trust the skin she’s in. If you're not sure where to start, this is the guide you didn’t know you needed. Let’s make sure she grows up hearing the right things.

Premium When the Mental Load as a Parent Becomes Mental Illness

by Ally Cohen, Content Creator and Digital Marketer January 23, 2026
written by Ally Cohen, Content Creator and Digital Marketer

Juggling schedules, meals, emotions and responsibilities - the invisible mental load of parenting can be relentless. Over time, that constant pressure can shift from manageable stress to full-blown anxiety, depression or burnout.

So where’s the line between everyday overwhelm and a real mental health concern? Here’s how to recognise the warning signs, protect your wellbeing, and seek support before the mental load takes a heavier toll.
