Anyone else's baby grabbing at your face when nursing?

In the last week or so my baby has gone from just playing with my shirt to reaching up for my face while nursing.

Yes and I love it, it’s so sweet 🥹 she grabs my face and just stares or looks at me intently studying my face. I feel so connected to her in that moment.

Yes and I adore it!!
They say babies do that to say thank you for all we do and that’s their way of giving back to us I think it’s the most sweetest thing I have ever learned! ❤️

Yes 🥰🥰

My babe is grabbing everywhere these days. Face, hair, double chin, pinching the boob…list goes on.

I didn't know that. Makes it so much sweeter now.

Yeah:) she likes to grab my face and my boob and my shirt and smack me and try to suck her thumb while nursing. When she reaches for my face, I kiss her little hand 🤭

My son likes to slap and scratch me. I call them love taps🤣

Nursing? No, BUT she like to grab my heart lock on my collar for her feedings. It’s her little comfort toy apparently 😅

Yes 😂 he literally does this until he’s done or eventually falls asleep so I’ve been playing with him because he likes to just grab my lol and it hurts 😂

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

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
