Laundry detergent

I feel bad… I’ve been using Dreft laundry detergent on my baby’s clothes since she was born and just read it has ingredients that cause cancer or something. Now I’m like uhhh…. 😡😰 she’s a year and a half now. Planning to switch but should I be worried now? I know there’s a lot of stuff out there that “causes cancer” but I just feel bad because this is something she wears on her body all the time. Ughhhh mom guilt…

They say everything causes cancer but there is no proof. Millions of people use dreft and no cancer at all. It is just lawyers saying these stuff so they can just make money 💁‍♀️

Eh I never used it from beginning and honestly never washed clothes before they wear it. I just use the same kind that I use. Don't be hard on yourself. The world causes cancer. Which is why there is not a cure for many.

Honestly, it's a marketing tactic from a rival company to make you switch. Everything causes cancer these days literally everything so I wouldn't worry

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

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

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
