Exactly the same. Not much to offer except they’re still very much in that fourth trimester stage. They won’t be clingy forever but it is difficult to get anything done 😫

I would lay my tshirt in her cot or bouncer etc and then put her ontop of that ots what the midwifes told me to do when I had my last baby now she doesnt need it if I'm cooking dinner in the kitchen I out her bouncer next to me on the floor and she just watches she's 9 weeks old yesterday

My son is 10 weeks now and he has been held the whole 10 weeks with the exception of maybe 4-5 hrs broken up over that whole time! He even sleeps in my arms of a night! He is now getting to the point where he is happy to lay down on his own for about 10 minutes
Under his play gym or changing mat for nappy changes, he don’t mind sitting up propped by pillows for a few minutes and now we have a light projector he likes that too… otherwise, hand baby here too!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!
