Following as I am also curious.. I have a winter baby so a summer baby is totally different to me

Also following

Always go by the rule they need 1 more layer than you do if you have a dress on a little vest and a romper/ a short sleep suit. Babies lose heat from their head so a little sun hat will keep them shaded but also warm and in the house a little onsie would be okay with a sleeveless vest under.

I’m in London so I will have our fans on at home in July so baby will also be as far away from the fan as possible as they can’t regulate their body temp at a young age.

A onesie/romper/little dress and socks could be worn in the pram with a think blanket/ Muslin over them

Please please remember to never cover babies pram/car seat with anything (towel,blanket etc) use the hood plus a sun umbrella or buy a snooze shade that is SPF 50 and approved for blocking out sun. Try not to use the pram fans when they are very little as again they can’t regulate their body temp so aren’t super safe to use.

Sorry went into too much detail but this is part of my Job lol hope this helps x

thank you for so much detail massive help .. only got little short sleeved vests at present . Thanks for all your help

Just received our babies coming home outfit. A little bonnet, long sleeved vest paired with some leggings (if a bit chilly), some socks & a blanket x

I’m the same, my son was born end of November so a July baby is totally different

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!

Oh boy 😯

Happy 31st to me lol yikes 😬
