Weather wear

How on earth are you getting your babies wrapped up warm in this weather.
My 16 week old screams any time I try to put any layers on him, the max I’ve got him to wear is vest, trousers, socks, jumper hat and maybe gloves. Our car is broken so we’re having to walk everywhere but even if I try and get him in a coat/ snowsuit outside he screams.
Do I leave him be or fight him for the layers??

LILBESTIE Baby Swaddle, 2.5 TOG Winter Sleeping Bag Newborn Plush Teddy Bear Stroller Wrap Infant Boys Girls Clothes-Pink-M(3-6 Months) https://amzn.eu/d/0HXqiZg

I got one of these ....my daughter wears her vest, babygrow and a little cardigan then she lays in this in her pram....gloves and hat if its super cold...
But she's always warm
..I find this easier than a coat x

I put a blanket in the pram for our LO to lie directly on and a cellular blanket on top of him.
And I put him in his long sleeve vest, sleepsuit or jumper/trousers with socks and then a cardigan plus hat and gloves.
Keeps him warm but doesn't sweat or overheat

This is reassuring that others are in a similar situation! I’ve tried to put pramsuits on my baby and he literally screams. He hates being layered up but it’s so cold out.
I’ve been putting him in a vest,jumper,fleece jacket and hat (trousers and socks) and putting a thick blanket over him. Then I just remove layers when inside like a shopping centre.the footmuff of the pram is also a nice thick layer outside x

Mine screams, but I just put the pram/snow suit on him anyway. As soon as we’re in the pram walking he stops crying. It’s just a struggle getting him in it, then he’s fine x

I’m so glad it’s not just me who struggles with layers, he’s in his carrier a lot so it’s not a problem then it is mainly his pushchair. I’m going to have to invest in a decent footmuff.
I was hoping that would be the case for him but he screams the entire time he’s in it, I’ve tried ones with feet and without and he hates both 😂

Oh I’m glad it’s not just me 😂 we are exactly the same, coats, snowsuits, hats, gloves she absolutely HATES!!

who knew that a 3 month old baby can hate things 😂 the only way I can get him to wear a hat is put it on outside when it’s cold 😂

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

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

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.

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?

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.
