I think they suggest using an open cup rather than bottle with teat for dental reasons, such as tooth decay.

My daughter was just over 3 years old when she stopped having a warm bottle of milk before bed. She’s now 3.5 years old and stopped wanting it on her own terms, she now doesn’t having any milk before bed.
She’s had many dentist visits and her teeth have always been perfect as we brushed after milk. No form of decay or ‘milk rot’

I drank from a sippy cup till I was like in 4th grade😂😂😂 do you, I did hear it affects the way the teeth will stand but idk you can ask a doctor maybe

Ahhh thanks I’m not personally bothered but it was just something I had never heard before so worried I had missed the memo 😂

It’s not recommended because of their teeth. But sippy cups, straws etc are fine. I switched to a bottle that has a sippy cup top. He only drinks it before bed.

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
