Shoes

My baby is doing some steps with the walker or walking holding my hand. For people who’s babies aren’t fully or confidently walking yet what are you having on there feet? He wants to get out the pram all the time at the moment but I can’t try walk with him outside in just socks and I do think shoes would help him as he always goes on his tip toes but then have heard it’s best not to put any shoes on until they are walking confidently, would like to know what anyone else is doing?

Clark first walking shoes, so light and easy! Means you can walk with him outside holding hands and not worry about his feet ect, will also get him used to shoes before fully walking xx

Our daughter is the same and we have her in pre walker shoes currently

We do shoes whilst we’re out and about and then barefoot at home! The same Clark’s pre-walker ones.

We do soled socks (but live in a hot country). As minimal and as barefoot as possible! Clarks pre walkers are fab too, but avoid their next step up as they’re not barefoot compatible

Clark’s pre-walkers are for this stage. They’re ugly as sin but they get the job done 😂

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?

Leaky nappy help

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?

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

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

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 🤣
