New mattress for newborn

Thoughts please, so with my 14 month old I bought a second hand Snuzpod bedside crib. I didn’t buy a new mattress (was washed etc) but wasn’t recommended or told by anyone to have a new mattress. So my little one slept in this for 6 months. I have my second baby coming in the next 2 weeks, should I get a new mattress for the snuzpod or just wash and reuse again? As a midwife told me to get a new mattress for crib and now it’s on my mind. Even though my daughter slept in a second hand one??? Help 😂

It’s to keep the surface flat , getting a new one.

Get a new one, it needs to be firm

The mattress is perfectly firm though? So I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Definitely get a new mattress.
We are reusing everything from our first born and have brought new mattresses for everything: next2me, pram and we will the cot too when the older one moves out of it and little one moves in.
It may not have affected your firstborn, but for me it's not worth the risk.

Get a new one. We bought a snuzpod 3 off fb marketplace but replaced the mattress and new mattress sheets. Deffo worth spending £30 on a new mattress

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

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?

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?
