Feel back of his neck and chest if he feels ok then you can use that :) there info on lullaby trust about cold :)

Our room goes freezing overnight, it starts out on about 19 degrees and drops to around 15 degrees by the morning, our boy sleeps all night (4 months old now) but it’s hard deciding what to put on him for bed as I don’t want to wrap him too warm but he needs the extra layers when it gets cold, he usually goes to bed with a short sleeved vest, sleep grow, 2.5 tog sleepbag and a thin blanket over the top, he wakes up cold like this so tonight we’ve replaced the vest for a long sleeve vest and hope that helps although I’m paranoid now constantly checking his temp to make sure he’s not too hot (room is currently on 18.5 degrees). We’ve just purchased a google nest and waiting for it to get fitted so that we can set the heating to kick in when the room drops below 18-19 degrees x

We have the heating on to keep the room around 18 degrees 😊

I bought a little plug in oil radiator and a timer plug and I set it to come on 3 times a night for a little 30 minute blast to keep the room warm for him. 🥰

It was cheaper than running the heating all night. Xx

great idea, thanks!

please can I ask where you got the oil radiator from?

I got it from Argos. 🙂. X

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
