Kokoso baby do an incredible line of baby products. We also like the child’s farm oat range. They both work really well for my boy xx

You don’t really need baby lotion and full range of products at this age. My girl only has a shower/bath due to getting messy/dirty from play, being outdoors or food. Otherwise they don’t really need all the products and having showers that often as we do. We use Weleda range, shampoo and body wash, nappy cream, fluoride free toothpaste. I never really used a lotion, but if we did massage we’d use coconut oil, you can get a jar from any supermarket in cooking oils section.
We have big skin problems in our family, like really really bad eczema and crazy medication to treat it. From talking to the doctors how to prevent it for our baby, they all would say avoid products as much as possible, diet and environment. Doing this has helped my parents skin so much and he is off a lot of his medication now. So we are sticking to the same principles with our baby.

Couldn’t agree more with Lana. Been through topical steroid withdrawal myself and learnt a lot about skin.
All the fragrances and complex ingredients in many products are so harmful to their delicate skin. We make our own nappy cream or use the Drought Secret range and then just water in the bath once or twice a week

We use aveeno in the bath for sensitive eczema prone skin and works well

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
