Nappy sizes

Hi all, my LO is 5months and weighs 6.9kg. She's in size 3 nappies which say they are for 6-10kg. Recently though they look a bit small, we've had more leaks too. Size 4 is from 9kg though so I'm not sure if I should size up yet? Anyones LO a similar weight and already in size 4?

Honestly I’d just ignore the weights on them and give them a try. If they’re too big, you can always save the rest of the pack till she’s a bit bigger. I find the weights to be really inaccurate and they grow out of them well before they hit the upper weight limit.

My boy is only 11 weeks and he is in size 3, I personally wouldnt go off the size it says on the pack and just judge what she needs when she needs it x

Don’t go in sizes, if you have more leaks, size up. My 6 month old is in size 6 currently

Sizing up is how you avoid blow outs

My kids have always sized up before they hit the weight on the box

Just like clothing sizes, I feel the weight range is more of a guide. Our son is 15 months now, but still comfortably fits in size 0 clothes which is usually for 6-12 months. 12-18 month clothes swim on him! He also seems to fit into nappies for a bit longer once he’s “exceeded” the weight range. If you’re having more leaks, or the nappy is no longer sufficient for overnight, it might be time to size up.

They are general guidelines you don’t need to stick to them religiously it’s just a guide. If you need to size up then do that and ignore the weight guides

As for me I use cloth diapers they have adjustable snaps at the front, and even though on their website they have weight guides I undo the snaps and size up as I feel fit to, when I see that he needs it and it’s getting tight, I’ll undo the snaps to the next row

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
