Baths

Does anyone give their baby a bath every day? I started off twice a week doing Monday’s and Fridays.. Then added an extra day of a Wednesday,
Now I do every other day. But does anyone do every day as part of their nighttime routine?
My baby dribbles loads and has reflux so he’s sick a lot which stinks. So debating bathing him every night but not sure

Yes every night, starts bedtime routine which is the only routine we have 🤣 also he loves splashing

he loves the bath and this is another reason why I’m thinking of doing every night.
Does it dry your babies skin out?

I bath mine every night but only because she loves splashing and it tires her out lol. I wash her with water only most nights and use aveeno body wash 3-4 times a week and it doesn’t dry her skin out or flare up her eczema x

Most days as we've just started on hypoallergenic formula and it helps with tummy pain. Sometimes twice a day even x

We do baths every night and use aveeno on his skin after every bath. I think it's nice to wind down at the end of the day 😊

Lush thanks ladies! He generally loves water so I may start doing every day.
Trying to get him in a routine but some days he’ll be brill, other days he’s a nightmare! He’s proper fighting his last nap of the day and then I can’t keep him awake long enough to have his last bottle at 7 before bed 🤦🏻‍♀️
I would say I’d get it down this week but he has his last injections tomorrow (month late) and I know he’ll be out of sorts. Really need a routine where it fits around my eldest as he’s back in school Tuesday

Yep every night. It’s routine now

Every day as part of routine. It doesn't dry his skin but we only use soap on his bum and then armpits, neck, hands rather than all of his skin. I use a bit of moisturiser if necessary or oil when we do massage. Xx

Bath every night now for the past few weeks and it’s worked perfectly for our bedtime routine. Plus my son loves blowing raspberries especially during feeds so he always feels sticky and dirty by the end of the day x

Doesn’t dry skin at all. Use neals yard baby bath

its mum’s choice, of course I’d reassess if my baby’s skin was dry or aggravated

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
