Bath time struggles!!!

My 21 month old recently started to hate the bath. She’s always loved it but now she’s constantly standing, hates getting her hair washed and is afraid of the water getting dumped on her head. We have toys in the bath and play music to make it more fun but doesn’t seem to help. Any tips!?

I give my 20 month old a shower and I let him hold the wash cloth sometimes

Omg going through the same thing rn. Nothing works for me lol

My son has always preferred the shower.

Bubbles, music?
We did lots of water play so he could use cups and such to pour on self

Happened to us! Our girl has a plastic dog - we’d bring him in the bath with her and say we have to bathe the dog just like her. So we wash him first and talk about getting water in his eyes and how he’s ok! And then we pour water over her head first (we keep the water just warm btw… 95 degrees or so). And we get it out of the way first and then distract distract with lots of other bath toys and the easy body parts to wash after.

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

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?

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?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
