If it’s cold we go for a baby grow, pram suit and a hat 😊 x

I put a long sleeve vest, baby grow and pram suit x

thank you x

I think the rule is remember your body heat classes as a layer and so does the carrier so there is 2 layers there already x x

No pram suit or thick suit as baby can overheat and it makes the carrier bulky and difficult to get a good fit. You can wear an oversize coat over yourself and baby or they sell babywearing coat with a zip on pouch that can be taken off to turn it into a normal coat or a carrier cover that goes on top of baby.

Yh definitely no pram suit.
Bubs can over heat and effects the fit.

A hat, thick socks/ baby wearing booties.
The sling and your body count as a layer so you don't need to go too mad with extra clothes. They'll let you know if they're cold!

I have him in normal clothes plus hat and I've got my maternity coat I wore when I had a huge belly that I zip round both of us. You can get coat extenders to join a normal coat round both of you too.

I recently bought a baby wearing coat on Vinted and I LOVE it as I know he’s super cosy and he’s protected from wind too! The panel zips in and out so can be used as s normal coat too 🥰

I agree with trying to get hold of a baby wearing coat/oversize coat. Something I learnt the other day too is to be conscious of what you're wearing. I went out dressed for the cold weather and wore baby with the coat on top and I was melting!

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

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!
