First Bath

How soon did you give your babies their first bath. My LG is nearly 2 weeks and has lost her cord now so we can do it whenever, but it's so warm I don't think I should. Just unsure how long to leave it and keep doing top and tail washes ❤️

We gave our LB his first bath at 2.5 weeks just due to procrastination. He's had 3 baths now and loves them 💕

The weather is a perfect reason to do the bath now. I think I waited about 2 weeks or a little less

I waited 3 weeks but I wanted to do it after 2 weeks- PNA got the better of me and I kept putting it off. There was nothing to be afraid of in the end!

I waited till she was 3 weeks old.

My first was born in the summer, we started bathing her once her cord fell off and she was fine, she loved having them.

I get in the bath with my baby coz he enjoys it much more I don’t know if it’s the comfort but he hated his first bath when we used his baby bath so I just get in with him and make it a slightly cooler bath on warm days I do it before bed too coz it’s not as warm in the house

if you make the bath cool (but not cold) now will be a great time to keep baby cool and hydrated x

Injury at school

My poor boy got injured at school today. Face first on concrete. School handled it well. One of the staff went to the ER with him until we got there. Has a huge knot on his forehead and face swollen and scratched and bloody. Poor boy

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?

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?😩

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

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?
