Nappy change frequency?

Hi all, bit of a random one but how often are we changing our little ones nappies in the day?
For reference we use pampers at night and have no issues with them lashing 11/12 hours with no leaks. In the day however, I feel like we’ve tried all nappies and she always leaks!
I’m talking fresh nappy on and within an hour and a half or so, she’s leaking through it. When I’m home, I can change her regularly no problem, but when we’re out and about it’s so difficult to keep on top of.
Am I asking too much for a nappy to hold for 2/3 hours???
I feel like I’ve been and tried every supermarkets own nappies in an attempt to not have to spend a fortune on pampers for day time too but it’s looking like I might have to? Anyone having a similar problem?

I use pampers pull-ups the same ones for day as night x

My boy's a heavy wetter so I've found cheaper/store-own brands like Mamia, Little Angels, etc don't work for him very well even in the day🥲.

Also, I've found a huge difference between normal nappies (with tabs) Vs pull ups, I find mine tends to leak more in tab nappies which I'm assuming is because he's never still, so they can move a lot. But pull-ups never leak for us... So we use normal pampers pull-ups in the day and then pampers premium protection pull ups at night x

Thank you ladies, perhaps I’ll have to bite the bullet and try pampers for during the day time too!

Pampers premium protection pull ups are definitely the best for no leaks and now a lot of babies are on the move, tab nappies are known for moving a lot and causing positional leaks.

We change every 3-4 hours during the day and only the one nappy overnight x

Another vote for pull ups, we use the pampers ones at night but just Aldi pull ups in the day

Is your baby moving? We found when our boy starting to crawl normal tab nappies didn’t work. We use pull up nappy pants (normally Aldis version) and found they ate so much better as fit tighter and more flexible.

We use Tesco’s pull ups x

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? 🥲

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

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?
