Drying newborn clothes

I’m due end of this month and just putting his babygrows etc on for a quick wash before he gets here, we don’t have a clothes horse for drying as it broke and it’s going to rain tomorrow, can I dry them in the tumble dryer??

Can’t hang them on rads as daughter will pull them off and don’t want the dog putting hairs all over them 😂

(This might be a stupid question so sorry if it is lol)

Yeah just check the labels as some shops you can't tumble dry them

If the label has the box with a circle in then that's ok to tumble dry. If the box with the circle has a cross then you can tumble dry.
You cud put them on hangers and took them up on the curtain pole if u have one. I've had to do that in the past with bedsheets.

I tumble dry all baby clothes, they come out really soft 🩵

As long as they don't have bamboo or wool in them you should be fine. The label will also say whether or not you can and what setting to use on your dryer. Baby clothes don't need that much heat to dry since they are so little so setting your dryer to tumble dry with low heat should be just fine!

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

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?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
