ENERGY

I love being a boy mama more than anything, but holy cow does he have so much energy 😂 If he’s awake, he’s moving/yelling/banging things together. It’s been so much fun, and it’s actually helping me keep moving myself. But dang do I look forward to nap time 😅

My little boy wakes up on a morning and starts dancing! Literally is the first thing he does, sit up and dancing 😂 It just get more aggressive dancing as the day goes on

Girl same 🥲

SAAAAMMMEEEE!!!!! Mines at an age where I think he’s starting to transition out of nap time and I’m like “dude even if you don’t sleep, just play in your room for a bit cuz mom needs a nap” usually I don’t sleep I just try to rest but dang is he a busy kiddo lol

I felt this status!!! They have so much energy, I’m so nervous to see what baby 3 will be,

My son is literally bouncing off the walls all day long 😅 I don’t understand where is he getting so much energy from, some days I can’t keep up lol

Oh my gosh same 🤣😅😅 He is WILD. HAS to be moving every second his eyes are open

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅
