Been wondering this as well!

Huggies and Pampers have different size 1s, fun fact. Huggies are smaller. My baby was born at 8 lb 5 oz, and we’ve been using the Huggies size 1 and just folding them down so they down touch the stump.

I did at 2 weeks. But my boy was 9lbs at birth. Used size 1 since circumcision.

i wish i could help but my baby was born into size 1 😭

We switched over completely around 5 weeks. Before that we were using both newborn and 1’s for a few days once he hit 8 pounds and until we ran out of newborn diapers because we didn’t have very many left so we just used what we had

I started out with size 1 immediately baby was 6lb 13oz she’s now 9lb and I’m moving her up to size 2 but Millie moons size 1 is 6lb-11lbs so it also depends on what brand you use

I just switched today. The newborn diapers were leaving red marks on my babies inner thighs. The size one diaper seems more comfortable.

We switched when he kept peeing out of the other, he was about 2 weeks

I had a pediatrician mention if the waist band is coming to close to my daughter's little butt crack then go ahead and size up. She has a bit of a butt in relation to her waist and has dense enough musculature that the wei h t ranges for the diaper sizing is always weird. The butt crack visual helped me. Not little plumbers crack over here!

When he started having leaks and some started looking a little miniature on him lol! He was probably around 5 weeks when we switched him.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
