Suddenly hating bath

Anyone else's 18/19 month old suddenly hating baths? My 19 month old little lady has had a bath every night before bed since around 6 months old when we started weaning, recently she's screamed and protested as soon as she's put in the tub! We've tried toys, Bubbles, using the shower.. all worked for a bit but now she refuses and tries to climb out while having a meltdown!

In the summer we had our bathroom done and now don’t have a bath and have a walk in shower instead, one of us always gets in with her and she has a great time and much prefers it to the bath! She draws on the glass with the condensation and we have a few toys that she sticks on the walls etc x

We've had to start doing baths earlier because as soon as he starts getting tired it's a nightmare but straight after dinner seems to be better for us might be worth a try

We’re the same as above. Earlier in the evening seems to work better! X

We still use a toddler bath on the dining room table as she wasn’t a fan of the bath tub.

We do morning baths.

Well... I opted for an earlier bath time and did it after dinner and it was pleasant! Sat in the bubbly water and played with her bath toys while I washed and combed her hair, the only complaining was whilst I rinsed her hair after washing it. Once that was done she went straight back to playing with her toys

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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 🥰

Hi ya'll

Is anyone else's 4 month old randomly screeching now? I'm not sure what to do and she's been doing this for the past two days. She's usually a quiet happy baby so im not sure why she's doing this now. Aby suggestions?

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.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
