Wet nappies

Does anyone else’s baby cry instantly when their nappy is wet and continues to cry and fuss until it’s changed? I’m changing so many nappies a day still (she is 14 weeks old). Any advice? Is this normal? Google says babies cry when nappies are wet but this does not seem the case when meeting other mums.

100% with you my little boy since day one has hated a wet nappy! Family/ friends think we are over exaggerating until they spend a few hours around baby and soon realise we aren’t lying about how many nappies we go through a week! Strangely enough he sleeps all night 🤷🏼‍♀️

My little one hates being in a wet/dirty nappy too, and other mums I've spoken too, have also said the same, think it's normal

You could maybe try different brands of nappy to see if that makes a difference

Mine hates being wet, she winges until she’s changed! We go through a lot of nappies!!

Thanks all. That’s reassuring to hear. I know it’s classes as normal but I haven’t met others experiencing the same thing which makes it hard sometimes. We get through a lot of nappies and don’t sit down for long!

we are in the process of doing this. Fingers crossed

totally and people think you’re exaggerating when you say they won’t sit in a wet nappy. Like literally she cries and arches her back until I change it

It’s literally the only time my little screams we’ve done a record of 240 nappies in a week tried all different brands too but it’s just the way he is he’s my first so we don’t know any different and tbh I’d rather him not like it means less chance of nappy rash and possibility of an easy potty train

we have tried the supermarket brands and now onto trying pampers 🤑🤦🏽‍♀️. I’m also hoping it means later down the line, potty training is easier 🙏.

and same for screaming! Weirdly she sleeps through the night too, the same as your little one. But she doesn’t wet all night 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello! I would be interested to know if your babies grew out of this or if it continued? My 5 week old screams at a wet nappy until we change it and hoping it is a phase

Avatar

yes he has! Never thought it would happen funnily enough me and my husband were laughing about the amount of nappies we used to go through. Trying to think back I’d say 5/6 months once he was playing with toys moving about more 🤷🏼‍♀️ I feel for you but I hope it doesn’t last long x

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

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

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

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 🤣
