If it’s below 11 degrees I always do normal clothes he’d wear around the house, then a fleece sleepsuit (thin, nothing like a pramsuit) hat and then usually have a thin coat around us both as that’s what I’ve read is the best but you could maybe just try a blanket around the sling if you don’t have one that fits?

could they wear a fluffy bear suit?

You want multiple thin layers rather than one big layer, so for this temperature I'd say vest trousers too cardigan, socks booties and a hat. The sling also counts as a layer, so a ring sling/carrier is one layer, a woven or stretchy is how ever many passes you have over baby, so a basic stretchy wrap would be 3 layers

I'll be taking my baby out in vest, babygro, pram suit, hat, extra socks and undercoat for our dog walk today. The extra socks is because I usually dress her this way and her feet are always cold when we get back

we went to the beach Xmas eve and it was windy and cold. I had my LO in a vest and baby grow in her bear suit with hood up and cotton wrap sling and she was toasty and warm and slept most of our walk all snuggled up

I always keep baby dressed normally and add a hat as the sling is classed as an extra layer and so if your body heat, I also half zip my coat around him and he's always toasty warm, if it's freezing I will add an extra layer like a cardigan. I have a cloth sling xx

Unless it’s icy cold I always dress my girl in her usual long sleeved vest and babygrow/whatever outfit she’s wearing, then I add a cosy jumper or thick cardigan, hat and gloves.

I have a blanket that I fold over double and wrap around the outside of the sling including over her legs for extra warmth and protection from the wind.

I prefer the blanket to her wearing extra layers as it means I can remove it if she feels too warm or if she’s fallen asleep and I want to go inside (leaving her in the sling)

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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. 🩵
