Dressing babies in the cold

My head is all over with how to dress little boy in this weather ….i would usually do a t-shirt vest, a long sleeve bodysuit, joggers, socks and then if we go out a little zippy jacket or jumper and a blanket around his legs.

Should he have an extra coat on the top half?? My other problem is with that many layers he seems to then get really bunched up and you can’t actually fit the top coat on his arms properly

They definitely should not be dressed in that much in a car seat. If you’re walking around in a stroller outside then sure but their layers need to come off in their seats. For us we just have a nice cozy blanket and we will do a long sleeve onesie and pants. With maybe a cardigan or something. As it gets colder and if we actually go outside for a long time during the holidays then we will bundle up a bit more. But not just to go from car to house or store. Only if we are out for a long time outside

I go by the rule of one extra layer than you would wear. Plus a hat on his head and a blanket over him.

yeah sorry this was just for out and about, not in a car seat, completely aware of not being layered up in a car seat was more for walking about outdoors, should have specified apologies

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
