Sterilising

Does anyone sterilise bottles with just boiling water? If so how do you do it please as I’m currently using the Milton cold water steriliser and I have been for a few months but I really don’t like how it smells and how the smell stays on the bottles, even when he’s drinking it I can smell it. It’s diluted bleach an...

Nap tips!

Anyone else’s 6 week old all of a sudden just not want to nap? She used to be a great sleeper and now she shows all the signs she tired but will just stare at me or lay there wide awake.

Winding

Absolute first time mam comment but when do you stop needing to wind a baby? Has anyone stopped yet? My girls never in discomfort if she falls asleep whilst feeding but I feel dead guilty if I don’t wind her 🥲

Should I bring my baby to hospital?

I have a 22 month old and a 5 month old and whilst grabbing the baby bottle I accidentally grabbed the wrong one so that my youngest had some sips of cow milk instead of her formula. She normally has cow milk based formula. I think she felt a weird taste and didn’t drink much of it, and as soon as I noticed and cha...

Feeding

6 nearly 7 week old baby feeding every 2 hrs - is anyone else’s baby the same? I had an appointment earlier with a nurse about my scar, and she was having general conversation, but then kinda made me feel bad when I told her he was still waking every 2 hours for a feed at his age 🥲 I’m always paranoid about over…

Still waking 5 times a night

Okay, I’m feeding to sleep but I just don’t have the energy to get up 5 x a night and rock my baby back to sleep. Have I created this by feeding my baby to sleep? There hasn’t been a night since they were born where they’ve slept for more than 4 hours. I started out with my partner putting her to sleep with expresse...

Burping after feed

I exclusively breastfeed my little boy and always burp him after feeding. He falls asleep and looks settled after feeding but when I burp him he then wakes up and becomes unsettled. Is anyone else having this problem? It then takes ages to settle him again

My partner doesn't want our daughter to have her 1st jabs. Since covid he's been against all jabs. She is due them tomorrow as we missed her appointment last time. What's your thoughts on jabs?

1 year jags

My wee girl had her 1 year jags yesterday afternoon and one of her legs has gone quite red round the injection. It’s also hot to touch and her thigh is hard. Is this a normal reaction?
