My best advice is to attach something to your bra strap while they’re nursing to keep them distracted from pinching or twiddling your other nipple. Kinda like this https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8G5Tb2E/

My little one does the same thing. He use to grab my fluffy dressing gown and pinch that prior so he’s just using my skin now as a replacement as a soothing tool (it’s summer now). I put my finger in his hands now to stop him which seems to be the only thing that works 🥴

I am almost 3 weeks postpartum and still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

I am so sick of using pads. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I am still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

Baby cutlery

Out of curiosity.
If we have to sterilise baby bottles, dummy’s ect.
Do we also sterilise baby cutlery?

Moving while asleep

My 12 week old has been sleeping through the night (8 hours) for the last week and a half and since the 3rd or 4th night he's been wriggling his way to the other end of his crib to the point where his head is cocked to the side
He seems fine but it looks uncomfortable and ive always been told he needs to have his feet touching the bottom of his bed and if I move him back he wakes up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you leave it? Are there any potential issues if I do leave it?

5 am wake up🫩🥱

My 3 year old … lately has been waking at 5am 😭
I’m exhausted!

He winds down half an hour before bed - we get ready for bed, each of us read a book each, kisses and cuddles, a drink of water and up to bed. He goes down easy, I sit for 2 minutes literally and he’ll self sooth himself to sleep by 7:30pm he’s out! But the past 3 days he’s been waking and coming into my bed at 5am … me thinking he’ll go sleep he’ll just toss and turn and wants to go down…

Anyone in the same boat?

Help

Hi mamas! Has anyone dealt with their baby’s hair clumping at the back of their head? I tried baby oil to loosen it but no luck so far. Any advice?

Blood in baby’s poo

Ladies, I’ve just changed my baby and noticed some blood on his poo and on the diaper. The poo was quite soft, not pebbly and he wasnt straining or anything like that. Anyone had anything like this before? What is it? Shall i call the GP?
