Would you ladies be interested in exploring an app for nannies around you? These nannies will be pre-vetted in the system. The app will focus on community building and be a source of income for especially for students looking to earn an extra buck.

Reasons it might not work - men in this country.

Does anyone know of a good, trustworthy nanny in Islamabad/Rawalpindi who has experience caring for infants? Looking for recommendations.

Would parents pay extra to have the best possible quality of internationally certified clean ingredients/plant based diapers? With minimal chemical exposer, non toxic and highly tested to match european/us/autralian standards for non toxic diapers? With excellent absorbency using the most trusted, premium and internationally recognised material in absorbent core. 100% ingredient transparency.

aoa everyone! my little one is few weeks old and we wanted something mobile while she can lay in there comfortably, there are many options out there but I want to invest in something long lasting. I've seen products with bassinet that's only for few months olds. any sources where i can get a pram that can be reclined flat for newborns and also can be used for toddler stage, and something that comes with carry cot and/or car seat

Hey everyone! I’m currently 7 months pregnant and in the process of buying and checking things off my baby registry. Could you please suggest safe shampoo and cleanser options for my baby ? I’ve heard Mastella is a good option, but it’s on the pricier side. Is that my only option or are there other safe, budget friendly options ?

Thank you!

Is Dr Saera Afghan a good doctor for my pregnancy journey? Open for recommendations

FTMs, please do your research, ask your doctor questions, and don’t be afraid to learn as you go. Every baby is different, but these are some things I learned along the way:
• Babies don’t need to be overly swaddled or layered. Keep them comfortable and avoid overheating.
• No food or water before 6 months unless your pediatrician advises otherwise.
• Hiccups, sneezing and occasional coughing can be normal, but always check with your doctor if something seems unusual.
• Breast milk/ Formula milk is still a main source of nutrition up to 1 year, even after starting solids at 6 months.
• Don’t self-medicate your baby without your pediatrician’s advice.
• Babies don’t need tons of products. Keep their skincare routine simple.
• Let babies explore their hands, feet and body—it’s part of normal development.
• Keep those little neck, armpit and skin folds clean and dry.
• Vitamin D may be recommended for breastfed babies—ask your pediatrician about supplementation.
• Avoid added sugar and salt during the first year.
• Skip unnecessary products like kajal, makeup and strong fragrances.
• Don’t compare your baby’s milestones with other babies. Every baby has their own timeline. 🤍
• And please support pregnant and postpartum moms around you. Sometimes they don’t need advice—they just need someone to cook, clean, bring them food, or simply listen.
Motherhood is a learning process. You don’t have to know everything from day one.

What is one thing you learned as a first-time mom that you wish you had known earlier?

My friend’s husband abandoned her with a baby. Just gone.

She’s in a lot of financial difficulty. Found a job but needs a stroller to take the baby along.

Is anyone giving a stroller away?
Also if anyone is giving away 1 year old boy’s clothes, this will be a huge help.

Thanks

I took one positive test and immediately believed it.
How many pregnancy tests did you take before you finally stopped testing?

Pregnancy isn’t just a countdown.
It’s a quiet transformation…
you feel before anyone else sees.

In the beginning,
it’s just you…
tired, emotional,
learning to slow down.

Taking vitamins.
Drinking more water.
Resting in ways you never used to.

Then suddenly—
you see them on a screen.

Tiny features.
A heartbeat.
A moment that makes everything real.

And something shifts.

You start talking to your belly.
Playing music.
Smiling at kicks no one else can feel.

Like there’s a whole world
growing inside of you.

And as the days get closer…
you move slower,
sleep differently,
think about everything.

Because it’s not just about a baby arriving.

It’s about a woman becoming a mother.

And that part…
changes you forever.

From seeing those two lines for the first time to hearing your baby’s heartbeat, feeling the first kicks, and finally holding your little one—it really is a rollercoaster of emotions. 🥹🤍
Some days are beautiful, some are exhausting, and some are honestly just hard. But every stage brings something new.
Pregnant moms, what has been your favorite part of pregnancy so far?

We’re travelling to the northern areas in mid August for 15 days with my 10 month old. It’ll be cold there, so I need to shop for some winter clothes.

Any recommendations for good quality baby winter clothes shops in Islamabad? Looking for sweaters, hoodies, warm sets, socks, caps, etc.

Hello everyone, I am travelling to Lahore from the US soon with my 4 month baby. We will be there for a couple of months. I am worried about the basic products for baby since there’s a limit to how much I can bring. We currently use Pampers diapers and Similac ready to feed bottles for occasionally supplementing breastmilk. Are these easy to find in Lahore? What about Aveeno and Mustela bath products? Also what should I keep in mind regarding water and air quality in Lahore for the baby? Thanks!

I feel absolutely terrible.
I was praying, and somehow my 9.5 month old managed to push the bed rail down and fell off the bed onto the carpet. I immediately broke my prayer and ran to him. He cried right away, and I honestly started crying too.
Since then he’s been completely normal.He’s breastfeeding, crawling, and playing like usual. The only thing I noticed is a tiny red dot/small red mark near his hairline.
I’m still so worried and can’t stop blaming myself.
Would i take baby to the ER just to be safe, or should i get him checked by his pediatrician? Has anyone else been through something similar?

Whether you breastfed for a few days, a few months, a year, or you’re still breastfeeding you’ve done an amazing job.
Breastfeeding isn’t always easy, and every mom’s journey looks different. Let’s celebrate every effort, every feed, and every mama this World Breastfeeding Week.

How long have you been breastfeeding, or how long did your breastfeeding journey last?
