We use kit&kin. None of the reusable nappy fits him. To tight on the thighs 🤣

Our LG has pretty chunky thighs - she was in Mamia (Aldi) nappies up until size 3 then we moved to little angels (Asda) from size 4 up. We tend to go for the plus sizes just for a bit of extra room and absorbancey x

My wee boy is 5 and a half months and was 17.2lb at the start of December and he’s in size 3 from Aldi and had good chunky legs :)

Unfortunately mamia ones weren’t great for him at the beginning felt like he was only going through quarter of a pack before they were too small and tight any advice on the sizing etc?

does it leave a ring or anything on little ones legs? The little angles size 3 and baggy in my little boy but the legs are getting red rings and it’s not nice to see

I'm not sure what size the plus sizes start but yeah I'd definitely check or if you think your little ones ready to size up then try that xx

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. 🥺

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?

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? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

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?
