Leaking nappy advice šŸ™šŸ¼

My LO is going 12/13 hours without a nappy change overnight. He wakes twice for feeds but doesn’t do a poo so I don’t change him so he will go straight back to sleep. The past 3 nights though he has leaked through wee by the morning. He’s currently in size 3 pampers but thinking for nighttime should I put him in something else to stop the leaks? Any advice welcome!! Thank you

In switched to peaches nappies for nighttime as was having the same issue. Haven’t had any leaks since using them. Was using pampers before and having leaks every night. They’re quite expensive though so I do only use them for night and cheaper ones in the day x

We moved over to rascals, our little one has never leaked since we did the switch

I also use Peachies for the nights and never had any leaks! They’re 100% worth the Ā£.

You can’t fit a change in? That’s quite a while without a change

I personally would change before feeding xx

I would change during one of the feeds..

I’ll look into getting peachies thank you!!

I only change during the night if he’s done a poo as I don’t want to fully wake him up during his dream feeds so will try with better nappies. Obviously if he keeps leaking I will do a change during the night x

If I change in the night when doing a feed, I do it before the feed and keep it dark and don’t use a wipe, literally just change the nappy. It takes about 10 seconds total and then she goes straight back to sleep when she’s drinking her bottle as she isn’t overly stimulated by a full nappy change. My mum has done it this way too with about 20 different babies over the last 40 years and it works every time šŸ˜‚

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m ā€œlosing my sh*t.ā€ Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
