Sound machine

Does anyone else's 3 year olds still use a sound machine at bedtime?

My little one still uses one and it's still a life saver. Sometimes when she has an unsettled night she would shout for me or daddy to let us know it's run out of time. Sometimes if she wakes up upset in the night all we have to do is give her a cuddle and put it on and she will fall asleep.

I'm not too concerned about her still using it as I know some adults use white noise when they go to sleep but will there come a time when she won't need it anymore?

My 3 year old still uses hers, we have one that plays all night, always have done. her bedroom is right next door to the bathroom so it’s actually a god send in the mornings as I can get up and ready without waking her because the machine blocks out the noise.

Mine has a Google nest in his room so we play lullabies/music through it all night and Google keeps them going until you tell it to stop or if there’s a lot of noise it’ll switch off itself thinking you’re awake

My son still uses it to go off to sleep, he is 3.5, once asleep we turn it off. If he wakes in the night may also put it back on.

Yes our white noise is on all night still.. something I’ve been thinking about trying to cut down on/off but not sure if it’s a bad thing? It defo helps him sleep through household noise & his baby brother waking up in the night!

We now use a tonie box at bedtime and he falls asleep to that

Yes we use it all night, our household is noisy and so are our neighbours 😖

Yep, white noise in on all night but it's more to cover the noise of the baby who is in the room next door and my partner who stomps around like an elephant!

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 🥰

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?
