Diaper…

My LO is 13 weeks now and close to 7kgs. He has been wearing Huggies diaper size 2. The issue is whenever he poops it comes out of diaper and spoils his clothes.

I checked the Huggies website and based on his weight the diaper size seems fine. Any other suggestions on what I can do?

I had the same issue with my LO. For me, it just seems that they don’t hold in as much. If she has already peed and then poops it explodes. I dont really have any suggestions though I’m sorry :/

My guy was blowing out twice a day. Huggies was way better but we switched to cloth and haven't had one blow out since.

I've found pampers swaddlers to work the best against blow outs

You possible need to actually size up. The weight on the diaper box is a guide only. Just like adults, all babies body types are different and will hold weight differently meaning your 7kg baby will look different than another baby of the same weight.
My LO wore newborn diapers for a while after passing the weight the box said and it was because he was tall and thin. After a few too many blowouts we switched to size one and no more blowouts.

Can I suggest Rascal and Friends you can find them in Walmart... best diapers for full coverage !

I suggest trying a different brand! I find it very confusing! 1 month, size 1 Huggies were better now we are three months and pampers are supporting blowouts more! I feel like as he grows up we might see some back and forth between brands!

My guy blows out once in awhile- but only when they got some real gusto to them. Like has been saving that bad boy for a big ol gust of wind 😂 otherwise he’s fine. If it’s only happening once in awhile that pretty typical, but if it’s happening everytime, I’d try either a different brand or sizing up!

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? 🥲

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

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?
