Tescos nappies Fred and flos, I find are the best! I tired the Lidl ones once and won't again as they leaked. Even pampers I found leaked especially if she wore them in the night. Tescos are the only brand Iv never had an issue with ☺️ x

I was using Aldi nappies until size 4s I got told to change cos they’re not the premium ones size 4 upwards. I use Tesco Fred and Flo now and have had no issues 👍🏻

We're still in size 3 aldi nappies, but I've heard from so many of my friends that from size 4 the aldi ones turn rubbish no idea why?! 🤦‍♀️ Been recommended the f&f ones but again can't confirm as yet to try them!

We had the same with Aldi nappies, great until size 4 and then leaks all the time. We moved to Lidl nappies but back to a size 3 and they have been great! The size 3 for Lidl would be between the size 3 and 4 for Aldi so a better fit x

Morrisons :)

Does she need a bigger vest? Sometimes the vest restricts the nappy and causes it to leak

Im finding the size 4 aldi nappies so small compared to other supermarkets! I have scraped them now and have got Lidl ones or use Pampers x

Rascal & Friends! We loved them in size 3 & 4 🥰

Fred and Flo and the M&S nappies work a treat with us!

Sainsbury's size 4 nappies are absolutely amazing. My last change of nappy is 6pm and i dont change it again till 6am. In the morning it is a very full nappy as i breastfeed every 2 hours hours during night. However never a leak.

Morrisons nutmeg seem strong! I’m still on aldi as I shop there but the nutmeg ones are FAB!!! xx

We found Sainsbury's the best by far and good value for money only downside is they don't have the blue line for the wetness indicator but that doesn't really bother us xx

Our aldi has size 4+ which is more absorbent I’m gonna be trying those soon. But during the night I use pampers nappy pants because my lo keeps rolling and leaking

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?
