Cloth diapers leaking

Hey folks, we use the Alvababy reusable diapers for our 3 month old and he just started leaking through them. I was told to double up on the inserts but to use bamboo ones for the second layer? Is that right? And they both have to be in the pocket, not against his skin?

You're talking about the thick bamboo inserts, right? Bamboo can go against skin or in the pocket but alvababy have a wicking liner, right? So if you wanted that affect you'd want them in the pocket

You can also look out for compression leaks! I didn’t know this was a thing for a long time. Just double check things are snug but not too tight.

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.
