Holiday

Those that have been on holiday or slept away from home with baby how were they?
We’re off to butlins in a few weeks & at home he’s normally in bed with me and he sleeps really well, so I’m a little worried 🤣
I’m also not sure whether to just take the next to me or buy a proper travel cot? (I don’t even know if he’ll sleep in them hahaha he’s also a contact napper🤣)
Any advice / personal experience welcome!🥰

Enjoy your trip! Babies can get used to new routines fast, even though they will protest (sometimes a lot 🥲) i’d suggest putting bubs down for a nap in the day in the next to me and getting him used to it. He probs won’t sleep much at first but even 10 mins is a win! Over the next few weeks it will become easier and he’ll nap longer. Then if you’re there and you feel the next to me is worth a shot whilst you’re away it can then be more of an option that a shock to the system for him! Have the best time and enjoy it! Nothing will be 100% perfect, just go with it and have fun x

I went away for a night in an Airbnb when our baby was a month old (we had a wedding reception to go to) and he was difficult but we stay away at family’s house now quite a lot as I have family away from us and he’s perfectly fine in his travel cot. All I can say is try and get his daytime naps as close to their normal times as possible and he should sleep as normal! Enjoy your family break away! X

We’ve taken our girl away multiple times and she’s been absolutely fine! Slept in the travel cot no problem x

We’ve slept in hotels and another people’s houses. While she was cosleeping we just continued to do so. Now she’s in a cot I’ll probably also do a cot whilst away too.

We have been away twice and both times he has slept better than at home 😅 x

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?
