Muslin cloths

Recommendations on where to find some nice soft muslin cloths? They all seem to be really stiff?

Nutmeg ones I’ve got are really nice and soft.

Expensive but ziggle are also good and you can get swaddle size ones (I never used as a swaddle) but my LB loved to use it as a comforter on me as he fell asleep (removed before putting him down)

I got some gorgeous ones from Etta loves, but they’re 💸!
I got big ones from sainsburys that stayed nice and soft, and some cheap ones from Amazon that were nice too. Lots of my other ones from other places felt ‘starchy’ after a few washes.

I got some gorgeous soft ones from tiny alpaca on Etsy. Really cute too

Sometimes you can pick them up in baby shops the ones I got were 3 for £5 but there’s been no shrinking in them and they are still super soft from when I brought them back in early 2022 for my little girl. Sometimes when it is to hot I will use these instead of blanket because she’s blanket obsessed so it’s a good alternative 😂 x

I ordered mine on amazon and they are lovely and soft.

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? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

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! 🤣🤡
