Lint on baby clothes

Am I the only one having issues with lint on baby clothes ?

I had this issue the first time i washed everything, im pretty sure it came from the blankets and bibs because i havent really had the problem since.

I haven't had any issues with it. What washer/dryer settings are you using? I wash her clothes, towels, and blankets on delicate then dry on low (the 2nd setting out of 5 on my dryer) for 60-90 minutes depending on the size of the load with dryer balls and no dryer sheets.

I was clothes on delicate. So I need to dry on low? The dryer dries them then cool them off. Something new. No dryer sheets. What kind of dryer balls. I got some from dollar general and I haven’t used them on her clothes. The directions told me to rinse them before use. When I did it they stated to shed.

that's what I do - all of the baby clothes, blankets, sheets, etc. we have for her seem to say "tumble dry low" so we do that (a longish cycle on the second lowest heat setting) with the dryer balls (I don't know if that's what helping gets the lint off but it definitely helps fluff everything a bit). I think we got them from Walmart or Target but any of them will do!

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
