Nipple Cream

I was originally going to formula feed but my baby latches so well, it has made me rethink and I would like to carry on breastfeeding if possible. I am really unprepared because I've done little research on pumps ect but can I please get some recommendations for nipple creams? She feeds better out of my right breast and although I've been alternating, my poor nipple is getting a little tender!

I’m not sure if you’ve ready about breastfeeding if you were planning on formula feeding- but the early days feel so long and tiring especially with cluster feeding. Gotta remind yourself cluster feeding does not mean your baby isn’t being fed enough. It’s your baby helping your supply regulate. You’re gonna do amazing. Xx

I agree with this one, definitely worth the price!!!

My lactation consultant told me to just use high quality olive oil instead of nipple cream and it worked really well! Less ingredients means baby is less likely to have an adverse reaction to anything :)

I use Earth Mama nipple butter and it’s wonderful. Totally clean and safe for baby, and it works (I apply once right before bed now, though I used more frequently when my LO was brand new and cluster feeding). If you use the Silverettes, just remember nothing on the nipple (except breastmilk, if you want). You lose the benefits/soothing of the silver if you put on a butter/salve underneath. One or the other.

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between
