December 2025 babies 👶🏼🇬🇧

I wanna know about play, nap times, food& snack times please. I just feel like I’m winging it

Hi how many formula bottles and what size does your 7 month old have in a day?

Hey everyone,

My 4 month old baby’s eczema has become really severe and extremely dry. I’m having to moisturise 10+ times a day with Epimax/Epaderm just to stop constant flaking, and there’s often “dust” from the dry skin where she sits or lies.

We’ve tried Oilatum baths, mild steroid cream (0.5%) and antibiotics, but nothing’s really helped so far. Has anyone dealt with this level of eczema in their baby? Could it be linked to dry air or water?

Also wondering if taking her to a warmer, more humid climate for a couple months might help and whether it might just come back when i return. I don’t think it’s dairy related as there are no other symptoms.

Would really appreciate any experiences or advice for this type of eczema.

My baby may be the worst sleeper ever. He is 5 months and the longest he’s ever slept is 5 hours… once… when he was 3 weeks old. He just went through the 4 month regression which was 8 weeks long and now he’s finally out of the other side but won’t sleep longer than 3 hours and that’s rare. Most of the time he sleeps 2 hours but after that first stretch in his cot if I don’t bring him into my bed he will wake up every 15 minutes, but this means my partner then goes to sleep downstairs half way through the night. He also usually does 3 naps a day and wakes up after half an hour unless we rock him back to sleep. We follow wake windows and make sure he’s tired enough at night. Please mums if you have any tips. I feel like I’m at breaking point. I know it’s usual for babies to want to feed in the night but this isn’t sustainable for me or him, even if he could sleep 3 hours that’d help.

My nearly 4month old (on 18th April) was pretty typical of 1 dirty nappy a day up until 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago she had a massive blowout which needed an emergency bath clean up 9pm on the Saturday night🙈💩 Since then she has had mostly liquid based poos, lots of pumps & explosive sounding poos but fairly small dirty nappies in comparison to the sounds to go with it. More concerning is the number of dirty nappies - since that Saturday night we have had :

Monday 30th March was 3 Tuesday 31st March was 4 Wednesday 1st April was 3 Thursday 2nd April was 4 Friday 3rd April was 6 Saturday 4th April was 6 Sunday 5th April was 4 Monday 6th April was 5 Tuesday 7th April was 7 Wednesday 8th was 5 Thursday 9th was 6 Friday 10th was 6

Last night as an example : she woke up twice 10pm & 2:30am to have a dirty nappy, then was back asleep within 10minutes. So it’s disrupting what would normally be a good 8-9hour stretch of sleep💤

Otherwise my daughter is happy in herself and having wet nappies too.

Any thoughts from fellow mums?
