Night nappies

Hey I’ve always used Aldi or Asda nappies and never had any leeks but recently we’ve had a lot of bed wetting at night where it’s spilling out of her nappy, she wears size 5 which are already fairly big but they are super full when she wakes and gone through her clothes and bed sheets,
I think sizing up will be too loose, has anyone tried the night fit and have they held more liquid? Is it worth paying the extra?

We use Aldi during the day and then just before bed always used pampers, always make sure big enough too, pampers rarely leak for us

I use rascal and friends nappies and never had a problem they also hold so much liquid!! My daughters just gone into a size 6 but been using them since she was in size 3 x

I’ve found Asda and Lidl have leaked the past week or so. I’ve always used Morrisons so have gone back to that. I don’t have issues with the others during the day too 🙄

You can get 5+ if that helps? It's not as big as the 6s but are bigger than the 5s

I've been trying the night time pull ups really don't make a blind bit of difference he's still soaking through 😑

Pampers active fit have never leaked for us. Used basic pampers ones the other night and it leaked for the first time ☹️

We have been using pampers pants since LG could fit in them think she was 10mo and haven't had a single leak 🤞🏼

Swapped to Tescos rascal and friends pull on pants at night and had no leaks since. Seem to have better coverage and hold more. Still lidl nappies during day

We use M & S own brand and they never leak. Our LO also has size 5. They hold sooooo much and are always so massive and heavy when he wakes up. He always has a poo in the morning too as soon as he wakes up and the nappy holds it all. It amazes me!!

I use rascal and friends my boy is in a size 5 and they are big on him and he leaks through everything too!! Once sometimes twice! Don't get how or why!!

Dont want to worry anyone but I was having the same problem with my LG and she was also drinking water excessively. I took her to the doctor's as I'd googled it and it was all saying Diabetes, I was praying it wasn't however after asking them if they could they agreed to do a finger prick test and her glucose levels and ketones was extremely high and we was sent straight to A&E. Last Wednesday my poor girl was diagnosed with type one diabetes 💔 she is doing okay now but it's so hard getting used to everything. So if ever you notice any symptoms please just get them checked, another day and it could have been a completely different story. Like I say I don't want to worry anyone just want to raise awareness as its very much missed in young children until they are extremely unwell. Always follows your mother's instinct 🥰 xx

so sorry to hear that Hun! Hope your little girls doing better now x

she is thank you 😊 x

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

How to help my husband understand why I'd like to breastfeed

My husband is very supportive, but he is also someone who wants to make things as easy and as stress free as possible.

With our first child, I tried to breastfeed, but due to my own medical issues postpartum, baby and I were separated a lot and my milk dried up so quickly. We introduced formula around 2 weeks PP, and I tried pumping as much as I could, but it just lead to nothing. It was heartbreaking. It definitely ruined a lot of those early weeks for me, I was wrecked with guilt and sadness. I cried every day and felt like such a failure.

Now my son is a healthy, happy 2 year old and I eventually came to terms with formula feeding him. He was quite content with the first formula we tried, never had feeding or gas issues etc, so it felt like a much easier option.

Obviously my husband witnessed all of this and now we're expecting our second baby, he sort of assumed we'd just go straight to formula.

I told him pretty early that I'd like to try breastfeeding again, and although I won't be putting so much pressure on myself this time, I've also done more research and I'm more prepared for the hard times that might come up in the early days/weeks, and I'm trying to prepare for any complications.

He's very supportive and says it's totally up to me and hasn't tried to sway me either way, but I do get a feeling the moment things get difficult PP he will automatically be buying formula. And he won't mean it in a bad way, he'll just be trying to make things easier for me and take off the pressure. He won't understand that it's unhelpful.

His thinking is that as long as baby is fed that's all that matters, and I agree mostly! But I also understand how beneficial breastfeeding can be and want to give it all my effort if I'm able!

So I guess I'm asking, are there any good resources I could send him to read? Preferably nothing too long/wordy, but something that explains the benefits and how to best support me during this time too? (Also something preferably from the UK as I know guidance can differ depending on country)
