I've never heard that swaddling is unsafe, unless you're doing it once they can roll. Swaddled my first two, will absolutely swaddle this baby as well.

Swaddling has been done since essentially the beginning of time! As long as your baby hasn’t started to roll yet. The biggest thing to avoid/cancel that I see is the weighted swaddles/sleep sacks due to safety, but I think swaddling in and of itself is just fine

I used the love to dream swaddle with my first. I hatedddddd the traditional swaddle it was too much work for my tired self especially fighting an active leggy baby. Will be using that swaddle with my second.

I just took a newborn class and they said it’s safe and preferred until they can roll

We took the newborn care class offered by the hospital we will be delivering at. They said its a safe practice. They actually taught us how to swaddle on dummy babies/mannequins since we will be doing this for the first 3-4 months when they are in the bassinet & cant rollover. Once they start rolling over, we transition them out from bassinet to the crib, and no more swaddling is needed.

I have not seen any information stating it is unsafe until they can roll. We will opt to swaddle.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
