Thoughts on changing pad covers?

We never used them for my son, found it was easiest to just be able to wipe clean the change table afterwards but we are due with baby girl any day now and curious if we should get some change pad covers this time around or if it's just asking for us to do way more laundry

I have some and I love them not really for the mess but so there not laying on the cold silicone. You don’t notice them I change them once a week

I used portable ones, and they were lifesavers. I would change it once a week or before that if it got soiled. I kept my last set from my first for my next. And I’m still using some of them in the diaper bag for on the go diaper changes

I just use puppy pads. Like what you would use for training a dog....it works, they are absorbent and intended for waste products. I change it as it gets dirty.

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. 🥺

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.
