I have a newborn so he doesn't actually pick the book or anything. But my absolute favorite books as a child was the Mercy Watson series so I have been rereading him that. Brings back memories of my childhood.

My stepdaughter and I are reading the American Girls books( Between ebay & thrift shops I’ve managed to s get all of the classic historical girls at a cheap price ). She loves them, & she’s learning (mwa-ha-ha).

With 2yr old: DK children’s animal encyclopedia-lol🤣She loves it. Usborne pop up/lift the flap books.

Usborne has a lot of really beautiful books for kids-often educational. FFor baby’s first birthday I had a book lady come – and I put on the invitations that rather than toys and clothes (of which I have a ton from my stepdaughter) we would love it if people bought books and that a lady would be available at the party. We asked them to write a note inside the book for baby to enjoy in the years to come. It also cuts down on wasteful and expensive packaging & cards.

She loved golden books up until a few weeks ago when she found one of my twilight novels and chucked it at my face! Lol. So, now we're 5 chapters into Charlotte's Web. But white noise for babies is really helpful when your little is having a tough time sleeping.

I've tried so many different books with my daughter but she LOVES "Goodnight Moon"

Avatar

Goodnight Moon and after I read Goodnight World. Reading both to my 9 week old makes her yawn repeatedly. There’s something about those books and me using my calm voice that makes her sleepy. I swaddle her right beforehand and put her between the hubby and I on the bed and read to her. I’ll hold the book over her and she’ll look at the pictures... it melts us both to see her looking at the pages. She doesn’t fall asleep right away, but the books relax her for a while. ❤️

When do you start reading to your baby

Avatar

read to your baby starting when they are a day old! It might not seem like they are paying attention, but they will love to hear the sound of your voice and be interested in the flip of the pages. My little one especially loved books that had shiny pictures.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
