Do you tumble dry baby clothes?

Drying them on an airer is taking forever, but I'm scared to ruin all our baby clothes before he's even here and have to start again 😂

Do you tumble dry yours?

I tumble dry everything and never had an issue ☺️

Yep virtually everything in our house goes in the drier. If it can’t be tumbled it’s either been bought by someone else so gets worn once for photo/thank you purposes and generally not again, or has been bought for a special occasion and won’t be needed again

i tumble dry baby clothes but i put mine on “baby delicate” i know that every tumble dryer is different but i hope this helps🥰xx

This time of year i tumble everything, just not knitted items as it ruins them. If it says you can on the label it will be fine xx

^^ agree with Mickey, check the label, if it says it can then it will be fine, I would always be very cautious of tumble drying anything that doesn't have the symbol in it, that being said my partner asks me to tumble dry all of his stuff even when it says not to and his stuff is fine.

I don’t, only socks and bibs x

Yeah, always have.

Things with decals though I dry on the airer as the dryer can melt designs (rip paw patrol hoodie).

I tumble dry most things with no issues. My toddlers would just pull an airer down 😂

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

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? 🥲

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

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
