My little one gets weighed tomorrow but I can tell he’s going to be a little chunk! Also it’s great to see someone from Whitley Bay posting, I always feel like there’s no one from the north east posting 😊 x

oh yeah you’re from cullercoats! Just round the corner! :) aww mines the same he loves his food he’s a greedy boy!! Haha xx

Mine was 13lbs 4 😂

My girl is teeny! She was 9lbs 6.

11Ib 4 🫣

Mine little girl was 8.2lbs 🥹

Mine was 8lb 6oz...born at 5lb 12oz tiny..

We’re only 8lb11oz, but she hasn’t put any weight on in 11 days 😭 they’re going to monitor over the next few weeks to make sure she does gain weight, I think it maybe where I had mastitis so my milk reduced for a while x

At 6 weeks my little girl was 8lb 11oz, now at 9 weeks she’s 9lb 7oz! Just a little dot

8lb 1! But has only just started gaining weight… she’s just a little dot!

9lbs 6oz my little boy

My baby is 8 weeks and is 12lb hun! A baby who’s putting on weight is a happy baby!❤️

Advice on headbutting

Hi I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do about my son headbutting his crib at night. He’s almost two and every night to soothe himself he hits his head relatively hard and this morning we got him up with this bruise on his head. Any advice on how to stop him hurting himself would be great

MIL not listening

Just looking for a bit of advice. I'm really lucky to have a "village" and once a week my MIL watches the baby (10 wk), so I can shop/nip to the gym etc. The only problem is she doesnt feed her. Ill have expressed ready to go or formula as back up but she never feeds her.
My LO tends to cluster feed a little on a morning as shes a decent night sleeper, but only really cries at desperation - she puts her hand in her mouth or grunts as early warnings. Ive told MIL this, and asked her to feed when she sees it. Ive tried saying "she was fed 30 mins ago, she'll want another in half hour", but she never does.
Yesterday I explained shed been really hungry and hadnt expressed much as shed fed so much I hadnt had chance, said to give her a little formula as she'll want it in about 45 mins. I got home 3 hours later and asked how much shed eaten.
"Oh, nothing, she had a little cry but we distracted and she went to sleep. She'll probably be starving when she wakes up".
She was starving. And then had both sides (which she doesnt normally do) and ended up more refluxy and messed up her timings all night, so she woke up more through the night (not ideal as we have an event today).
I dont wanna fall out as I'm grateful for the help but I'm running out of things to try. My husband is on my side and wants to tell her not to come if she just wants her "to sleep" and not actually look after her. Any advice??

Did you implement a nighttime routine straight away and if so did your little one start sleeping through before 8 weeks?

Keep seeing people say it’s just luck. I think it’s a little bit of luck but also a good solid routine.

Obviously lots of exceptions, poorly babies etc.

Tonie boxes, are they worth it?

I am guilty of screen time with my baby and I really want to cut down on this, my little boy has recently turned one and I’ve been thinking about getting him a tonie box. Are they worth it?

How soon after birth did everyone have sex?

When did you switch from bassinet to buggy

My baby is 4 and half months old and is already rolling over , he’s a curious little bean and loves to watch people and in the bassinet that’s hard for him to do , wondering if it’s time to switch it over to the pram attachment and have it reclined so he still has back support , ftm here so any advice is appreciated
