Bathtime

My little girl will not sit down in the bath. She stands up and plays with her toys in her hands, I pour water over her and she doesnt mind, i sit her down she just stands up again. The water temp is 37/38c and up to her belly button when shes seated. She does swimming so no issues with water. Its hard to clean her properly and have her enjoy a nice warm bath when shes standing. Anyone else having this issue?

Yes! This is definitely my LG at the moment 😂 I think it’s because she finds sitting down boring now and likes to explore on her feet!

My LO is the same she used to but the last few months she cries if we sit her down 🙈. I did sit and play with her the other day and she stayed sitting for a few minutes then stood up again lol x

Thank you, good to know shes not the only one. Must be a phase

Same here and she’s learnt she can lift her leg over the top of the bath now so not long before she’s trying to climb out 🤦🏼‍♀️ if it’s not standing up,it’s playing with the taps, pulling out the plug, chucking her toys over the side. She loves the bath but I think she views it more as a game! X

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
