Bathing

Just some advice/support needed 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

My baby seems to have developed a routine that she loves a bath every evening I know we obvs choose to bath her but in the hot weather we have been giving her extra, cool baths as we were bathing her every other day.

I have found now that once she’s bathed she’ll settled for night and sleep straight away.

I’ve spoken to a. Few people and there like your going to ruin your babies skin (seems fine atm)

I think we’ve found a nighttime routine but I just worry now 🙈

I have bathed/showered my 3 year old boy everyday of his life and he has beautiful skin :) I’m doing the same with my current baby boy! We always moisturise after, and I feel it helps with a sort of routine xx

I wouldn’t worry the routine works for you, sick with it. Jut put a good moisturiser on them. There sleeping well don’t break what’s working well x

If you're worried about their skin just only use products occasionally and use plain water the rest of the time x

I bath my 8 week old every night just as my mum did with all 4 of us. It’s not as bad as people make out. We’ve done it since he was about 4 weeks old and his skins fine. Babies thrive when they have routine xx

I bathe my 8 week old everyday cause I won’t hear the end of it if I don’t. He will cry at 6:30/7 every evening if he hasn’t had one. I’m going to carry on unless he develops eczema or his skin gets too dry xx

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

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?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
