Heat up the cot with a heated pad and then remove before you pop him in…worked for us. You can get them on amazon

We found this, despite the room being plenty warm enough the actual mattress was alot cooler and Jackson was alot fussier. We've made something called bed lasagna which basically is we have a mattress protector, puppy pad type thing and then the sheet and then the same again. This also means when he upchucks his feed a bit because his eyes are bigger than his tummy and he has the jaw strength of a bull shark so relinquishing the bottle is a fight and all the burping in the world doesn't prevent everything but it has the added benefit of making it slightly warmer and hes been alot less fussy since plus we can rip off the gross wet layer without digging through the bedding tub at 3 in the morning

I put womb sounds on Spotify and he slept for ages!

Hot water bottle to heat the crib first and put a Muslin tucked at the head end, that smells like you (especially effective if you're breastfeeding).
Our little one had silent reflux and it took us ages to work out why she screamed laid down. (Silent reflux burns and the goes back down but they aren't sick, so you don't know 😞)
We found that raising the head end of her moses basket with a couple of books helped. Xx

thank you, will definitely give this a go. Been trying the blanket that smells like me today so hopefully will see some results soon.

I was thinking it's some form of reflux but I keep getting told by midwife that he won't get it from being breastfed.

yeah I think maybe warming things up will be a good place to start.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
