Tummy sleeping and leaking

Baby has started consistently sleeping on her front and regularly leaking overnight. We've always used Sainsbury's nappies but I've noticed sometime the whole front of her onesie is wet but the back portion of her nappy is still dry. We tried the pampers baby dry last night and that didn't hold up any better but then she did an absolute monster. I'll keep trying the pampers for night but wondering if anyone else has any advice. I really don't want to go back to changes in the night because she really struggles to settle again after.

I used aldi nappies with my others and didn’t have issues with leaking but then again they didn’t sleep on their front. Hopefully you will find a brand that doesn’t leak x

Have you tried pampers premium pants? These are the best thing we’ve tried for night x

Pampers premium protection are really good nappies, but when my son started sleeping on his front he leaked twice, then we sized up nappies and haven’t had the problem since

Aldi mamia pull ups! My 7month old is in size 4 and also is a tummy sleeper!

Agree with the pampers premium protection and also if baby is wearing a bodysuit make sure it’s not too tight around the nappy. We had the same problem and sized up in the vests and found this stopped it

My baby also sleep on her front and we always used Aldi nappies with no issues. But she seemed to be between a size 3 and 4 at the time too. We ended up using Sainsbury’s number 4 in the day and then using pampers dry nights at night. As we put her in that at bedtime and don’t change again till she wakes up and we’ve had no issues other than one major poo blow out.

Pampers are more expensive but seem ok if we’re just using one at night time. There was a bulk deal online at Tesco as well. It’s easier than having to do a full change at night because she couldn’t sleep as her Sleepsuit and sleep sack would be soaked!

Hope that helps xxx

Sounds silly, but have you tried putting the nappy on backwards? The back of nappies tends to be wider. My boy sleeps on his tummy so his night nappy we do backwards, it holds so much more and we have no leaks

We go a size up at night so 3 in the day and 4 at night because we had so much front leakage. Seems to be working well :)

My son “wiggles his bum” not sure how to approach it

He is 3. He lays face down and goes left right - wiggles his privates on his bed/sofa etc. Calls it “wiggling his bum” should I be concerned or is it a good idea to set boundaries? Not sure how to approach this. Advice appreciated

Allowing him to do as he pleases

Right…I know I’m not the only one. My lil one wants to pull everything out and go through everything… and it’s so cute and I love letting him explore….However somethings are not appropriate for him to touch and his getting tired of me saying No and I’m tired of telling him No. So today I’m thinking of a solution…🧐

Cosleeping

So my 5 month old sleeps in a portable bassinet between myself and my husband every night. He's so good, he sleeps the whole night with both of us each holding one of his hands. My husband wants him to start sleeping in his crib but I honestly love him being with me. I sleep so much better knowing he's right there with me. The times I have tried to put him in his crib he screams and I feel so awful. I also sit there watching the monitor and don't ever get any sleep. I feel like I am being selfish because I want him to stay in the bed with me. I get that in the long run it's better for him to learn to sleep in his crib in his own room but I am just so not ready and he doesn't seem to be either. Is there ever really a good time to make the change? Anyone else dealing with this?

Self settling

At what age has everyone been teaching self settling, my LO is 3 months going on 4, love to hear everyone’s thoughts and what methods you have used

Thanks!

Stylish nappy bags?

Seems silly but I really hate the look of all the nappy backpacks I've seen. Has anyone come across any stylish bags that do well as a nappy bag? Seems small and silly but I'm really worried about losing my sense of self when baby arrives and this seems like a small, easy way to retain some of my style and character

Husband getting up

Everyday I have to wake up my husband like a little kid to either help me or take our oldest to school if I don’t he will sleep till who knows when.
He always tells me to wake him up but tbh I feel like he should just do it on his own he’s a grown man. Then I feel like I annoy him and he’s in a bad mood when I wake him up. But if I don’t he says it’s my fault being overwhelmed with the kids because I didn’t wake him up. It’s like a lose lose battle for me.
But I’m curious in how others are? Is it just my husband or are others sleeping in too? Do you have to wake them up or do they wake on their own?
Also 10m pp and haven’t slept in since we had our toddler 2 years ago so crankyAF and jealous he can sleep in and I can’t 😒
