Are you still using vests for your toddler?

I'm still using vests under my little ones clothes because if I don't his trousers really pull the nappy down. Is anyone else still using them and if you are when do you plan on stopping? I thought I would stop when he could walk but the nappies still get pulled down under his trousers.

I still use vests and will continue using them for a while. They help to keep the nappy in place and if his top rides up his back, he still has a layer of fabric to keep him warmer x

I plan to keep using them until my daughter is potty training then I will see how she goes I may then switch her to a normal vest with no proper between the legs

I only use them under his pyjamas now to keep him a bit warmer on cold nights. During the day, they're too much of a faff with the poppers etc when he's wriggling around changing him or trying to get him on his potty. I've never had any issues with trousers pulling nappies down and we've used many different brands

My son is 4 and still has vests in the colder months (no poppers) xx

Not really because they are too much effort trying to do them up after a nappy change šŸ˜‚ she mainly wears tshirts under jumpers

I stopped using vests with my eldest once we ditched the nappies, if that helps šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø (he was just over 2)

Will likely do the same for my 16 month old

I will stop when he is potty trained

Yeah I have a similar issue with the nappy and I also find without them the nappy irritates the skin more presumably from it moving more. Going to keep using until he is out of nappies

Are you using nappy pants with the elastic waists? These don’t budge at all for us without vests

Avatar

I have stopped as I find them annoying to get on and off. If it wasn’t for this I would keep going, as agree they are warmer

Avatar

maybe different nappy’s?! they shouldn’t really get pulled down because of trousers!

We will keep using them until potty training as they are the best for keeping warm.

I use the button vests until potty training then I will switch to top vests during autumn/winter

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🄰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

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.

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?
