Nappy sizes

My little girl is 8 weeks and we still have her in size 0 nappies (she was born early and small).

When do you know that they need to be moved up to the next size?

My little boy is 7 weeks and in size 2 nappies and will be moving him to size 3 nappies fairly soon, he’s 11lb5oz. Usually the packaging of the nappies will say what weight range they are suitable for :) xx

My boy is 8 weeks and in size 1 :)
The packaging says the weight on it (e.g I use Tesco Fred & Flo which is 4lbs - 11lbs). My baby was 9lbs11 when he was weighed at 6 weeks so I don’t think we’ve got long left in size 1. I imagine it’s obvious with leaking or discomfort!

My LG is in the tesco Flo and Fred ones wearing size 1… she was weighed a few weeks ago at 10lb2 but they still fit great 👍🏻

I’ve just bought size 3 nappies for my 9 week old! I couldn’t believe it!

Thanks ladies!
Going to try her in size 1 x

My little girl is 8 weeks and we are just moving onto size 2 nappies now she’s only just 10lb 2oz now and we were debating the change over…we are using up our last lot of size 1s. You’ll notice if you have more leaks or if they seem tighter on their legs/round their tummy xx

My son is 9 weeks and size 0 is a perfect fit for him but he leaks out of them! He is on size 1 but they are too big but this brand still leak! Think he is in between sizes

The package says the weight
Also keep in mind that there is an overlap between sizes. I moved a size up when I noticed a lot of leaks

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

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?

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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.
