My baby hates wearing diapers now. Lol.

My suggestion one day when you know you are home, let them wear jeans without underwear. If you've ever done it, you'll know it is very uncomfortable and then you can use it as a learning opportunity and show them why they need to wear them.

We had same thing with socks recently 😅 (my girl is just under 3 yo) Oh yes, and diapers are sometimes becoming an issue. If there's no health concern, like the kiddo freezing their bum or infection getting into the nappy rash wound, try as much as possible not to stress about it and let it slide - it's a phase :) The idea about jeans on a bare bum like one mama said above is a good one too!

We let her pick out some underwear at Walmart (baby sharks of course) and she watches me get dressed all the time. I have her 'help' put on my undies too.
I assume it's first thing in the morning? Or is he taking them off randomly and wanting to be naked?
If he just wants to be naked I would lean into that. Schedule naked time during the day where he can be silly and free. Lots of priming for this, "first lunch, then naked time" maybe it's before bath so when he tries to go commando you can say 'oh. It's not naked time yet. Would you like to pull them up or can mama? Would you like to play trains or colour while we wait for naked time?"

Or something like that. There is a need to be 'free' so find a way to work together and meet that need.

We were potty training and my son just wanted to walk around naked below the waist so we just let him. He got over it in a week or two because he was cold and decided underwear and shorts aren't that bad after all lol 🤷🏽‍♀️

Sometimes it’s the way they feel on them 😂 but they get cold and will put them on phases they go through

I have 3.5yo twin boys. They will usually wear underwear and/or pants initially but the moment they have to go potty they come off and won't put them back on themselves. I get tired of doing it so they spend a lot of time naked from the waist down.

Also, I live in Florida so getting cold isn't really an issue lol

I sometimes let her wear just like shorts wirh nothing under them but that is not doing it. Most of the time she doesn't want anything on no matter the day. Or she wants to wear a skirt with no panties. I think im going to talk to her pediatrician about it to see perhaps if its a sensory issue. Because i wear panties she sees me wearing them i explain that you have to cover up and she is fully potty trained. We didnt have this issue with pampers 🤦🏽‍♀️

Swaddle Vs sleeping suit.

Which one seems to work better for your baby? I am ftm, with a 4week old, I am not entirely sure what is the best option to get him to sleep restfully for a few hours between feeds.

Stop breastfeeding

Breastfeeding (expressing) is affecting my mental & physical health, my breasts constantly hurt, even when I express, I need to get checked to discard mastitis, but my mental health isn't good too, so I just want to stop producing milk.
I'm recovering from a C-Section, my body looks like a disgrace and my scar got infected twice and had to had antibiotics, I'm constantly uncomfortable.

GP has suggested to stop producing milk the natural way, but when I try, the pain is unbearable and it seems like my body wants to produce even more milk. I'm exhausted and I feel like I can't cope with it anymore.
Luckily my baby is mostly formula fed and any breastmilk has been given to him in bottles anyway, and he seems healthy & happy.

Has anyone stopped producing milk the natural way? I asked for medication and they said they can't prescribe it unless a major medical reason 😔

Silly question

My 1 week old seems to barely be awake, I know wake windows are really short at this age but is it normal for him to only be awake 1-2 hours a day?!

Colostrum harvesting

Anyone else having real difficulty?? So demoralising. I was wondering if people have any tips…

Also how long should you try for? I’m getting minuscule drips but nowhere near even 0.1ml. 🥺

Thanks in advance

Bottles

I have an 8 month old..how many bottles are you giving your little ones each day? He would usually drink 250ml but now only drinks about 100-200ml each time since giving him 2/3 meals a day and water. I’m thinking to drop the bottles to 2-3 bottles a day. What does everyone else do? Thanks in advance 😊
