Baby peeing through diaper. Coterie?

My LO is 7 weeks old and is in size one diaper. I have the honest brand which is the older formulation before they said they were switching to elemental chlorine instead of chlorine free. During the day he will sometimes pee up through his onsie but usually its not a problem. Lately during the night i will change him once so he is in the same diaper only for about 4 hours but i find that he pees through his onsie either the front or the back every night. I tried searching to see if there are overnight size 1s but most brands start at size 3. I get ads for coterie and how they claim less diaper changes. Does anyone use coterie that can speak to this? Or any other non toxic diaper brand?

Around that time, I just sized up for his diapers overnight. So size ones for the daytime and size twos for nighttime!

We used Thrive market brand diapers. They are total chlorine free and we didn’t have a problem. Always make sure his boy parts are facing DOWN and the diaper ruffles are turned out

My son peed through every diaper and it’s because I didn’t know you have to tuck his thingy down.

The parts down i knew about which is why i was surprise he was peeing through

I use Kudos and never had any issues

Use cloth and add boosters 😊 a lanolised wool cover will help with leaks too

Sizing up and using Millie Moon or Dyper mostly works for us.
Cotterie was horrible for us in regards to leaks, but heard that others love it.

I’m obsessed with Coterie I will never use anything else. Only had one leak when we needed to size up

@Crystal i would've liked to get into cloth if i was commiting to sahm but with me going back to work and others not wanting to commit to the upkeep and the initial expenses i couldnt do it. Can woolies work with regular diapers?

I believe they should! I've personally never used disposables but the idea is they absorb and repel moisture so it should work!

I've also heard of people putting the cloth covers (so without any inserts) over the disposables at night to hold everything in!

I used honest diapers with my 4m old boy and it was terrible. I tried coterie & they've been a life savor

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
