Underwear

So my mum always put underwear on me and my siblings for bed when we were younger, so I just thought this was the norm, my little one is currently still in nappies but 3 of my friends who have young kids in underwear don’t put any on them for bed, which is right cause I’m confused, I’m not even sure it matters but?

From a healthcare perspective it’s advised not to because it allows air flow over night, allows the skin and area to breathe x

Tbh I wouldn't have on a child but my step son does as my partner insists.

I do as an adult but I didn't as a child I don't think.

My 3 year old doesn’t because he has a bath before bed every night so it would be gross to put his underwear he’d worn all day back on him after he’s clean from the bath, and I don’t see the point in putting a fresh pair on him just to sleep when I’d change him in the morning anyway

I think it’s just personal preference. I personally can’t sleep without because I find it uncomfortable 🤷🏻‍♀️

I always ask my kids to take underwear off for bed. Obviously they're now 15 & 11 so it's entirely upto them! Although, I do remind my 11yo to put fresh pants on in the morning lol

I've always worn undies to bed lol but my husband doesnt

well it's weird to me cause i never heard of it, didn't know it was a thing

I didn’t even know this was a thing 😂. Surely it’s uncomfortable. Do you wear them instead of pj bottoms or as well as pj bottoms?

same here.. I’m glad the poll is almost an even split atm because I didn’t realise how common it was and it shows that it’s almost 50:50 whether people do, I also just didn’t know it was a thing

Depends on what mood my five year old is in. Sometimes she wears underwear and not much else to bed other times she won't and will choose to wear a nightie or PJ's but doesn't want underwear and a couple of times she's worn nothing. As long as she comfy and sleeping I don't mind.

My pappy told me I need to let my bum breathe at night and I told my daughter and now she says it everytime before bed to remind me she must take her pants off before jammy bottoms 😂 I don’t always because I ain’t got time for that all the time

Avatar

Ps he told me when I was little wanting to put pants back on after a bath before bed, not the other day 😂

Avatar

As a child I never wore underwear to bed but now as an adult I find that weird and will probably put underwear on my daughter to bed

Avatar

I think its down to preference. 4 of my children never wore underwear to bed but my youngest won't put his pj's on unless he has underwear. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. 😊

No underwear. It's better to let the area 'breathe'

Co-Sleeping

I’m seeing alot of mums mentioning co-sleeping, at my hospital they had us sign a paper saying we wouldn’t and all the risks of it.

I’m just curious why there is so much negative on it when it seems it’s a positive in some cases I’ve read.

Anyone else's baby NOT sleeping through the night?

I would never have expected this, but I am seeing so many comments from mums saying that their baby sleeps through the night. It can't just be my baby who is waking up every 1-2 hours? Please say I am not alone...

HELP

Mums I’m loosing my mind!!! My daughter is 3 months old in a few days and we’ve had a lot of ups and downs with her feeding. She is formula fed only. She was having the symptoms minus rash for CMPA / Reflux and the DR is trialing her on Aptamil Pepti she’s been on this now for 2 weeks. We were doing really well on it. She wasn’t fussing at the bottle anymore and her stomach wasn’t making noises, no more congestion etc etc.

But the past few days it’s started again, she’s fussing at it instantly, she wants it but she doesn’t, I can hear her taking air in because she’s crying at it, I can hear her stomach again. She is sounding wheezy again. I’ve just spent a good 45 minutes giving her her bedtime bottle and it was the worst it’s been! Why?!?! Wanting the bottle, but crying. Sometimes it’s like she can’t take a breath or she doesn’t know how to breathe properly while drinking it. She has the slow flow teats as the formula is watery consistency so I felt like the number 2 teats were choking her.

I’m at my wits end with it I am getting so frustrated with it because I don’t know why!!!!!!

Please can someone guide me in the right direction as to what is going on because I I just want to cry!!!!!

What baby monitor do you use?

I currently have a vtech monitor but it picks up absolutely everything! I live in a bottom floor four in a block and I’m ready to have a mental breakdown🤯 it’s picking up every conversation my upstairs neighbour is having, when she’s moving stuff around, her dog barking and it’s driving me insane especially at night

I want one that still easily picks up my son but not so sensitive that it picks up my neighbour breathing🫠

For the breastfeeding moms

What drink should I choose instead of soda? I’ve been drinking a lot of soda and sometimes water, but I want something bubbly to drink while breastfeeding. I don’t like seltzer water or flavored versions. Please help me find a drink.
