Advice for anxious child

My LG has recently become scared of children, when my best friend comes round with her little boy, she’s scared if he comes close to her and won’t come off me - this happened with my other friend and her little boy too! She’s the only child in our family but I try to mix her with other children as much as possible- we go to sensory and starting swimming lessons next week and potentially starting baby ballet.

Not sure if this is a phase? Any advice is appreciated! Just want her to have some confidence and she starts 1 day at nursery in September so want to help her as much as I can!

My LG has also started this recently - with both children and adults . She will hide if a person even looks in her direction and at soft play she will start to scream if another child
Comes near her 😅 she’s an only child but has always been around other children from a young age at baby classes and she started nursery at 9 months old so is very used to others . I’m hoping it’s just a phase xx

thank you! I’m glad I’m not the only one going through this! Fingers crossed it’s just a phase for both of us! 😂 xx

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

Toddler tippy toeing

My daughter is two been tippy toeing ever since shes learned how to walk. Not sure if it’s a phase or if it’s autism. If it helps shes also a really active baby. Has anyone experienced this with their toddler?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩
