Yes mine has had a pillow for a while. He spends half the night in bed with us anyway on our pillows and seemed to find them comfy. We give him a flatter sort of pillow though. I know the fear of the suffocating risk though and we do check on him regularly. Xx
Thank you last night she had just a normal pillow as it wasn't really planned but I did wonder if there's a certain type of pillow she should have xx
My little boy has had a pillow for a few months, about 1.5 months ago we transitioned to a toddler bed with a duvet and he’s loved it. We brought breathable toddler pillows and duvets, they’re lighter and thinner than the ones we use
My friend Put the pillow under the actual bed sheet they cant access it then and it wont move then.
Yes for about a month now when we were given another bed and put our old one in her room.
I bought a regular pillow
Yes but I put the pillow under the bed sheet to prevent the pillow going over her face at all

Confused about sterile bottles
This may sound silly, but I’m a FTM so any advice would be appreciated 🥹
My baby is 11 days old, and at some point I would like to start going out more but I’m confused how the bottles will be sterile in a bag, I currently use the Tommee Tippee bottles and the Tommee Tippee UV steriliser but I read once they are out the steriliser they aren’t sterile anymore? Maybe I’m misunderstanding it. Just wanted some advice on what other people do 😊

Sleep training
We’re in the gutter of the 4 month regression. My son wakes up ever hour at night screaming. We cosleep and that has made zero difference. He doesn’t always wake up to eat sometimes he just wants us to walk him. I feel like im going insane havent slept in three weeks now. During the day he only does contact naps. Next week im going to try to get to stop doing the contact naps but im terrified that hes going to go crazy and sleep will be even worse. I’m going to do the Ferber method week. I need encouragement and tips and tricks if you have any!

Supply
For ebf mumma how did you know you were loosing your supply I pump like once a day maybe had to switch from my wearables to a manual hand pump due to my wearables only giving me foremilk after a 30 mins session and not a whole lot of it but even with my hand pump I’ve gone from getting 4/5oz to barely getting 2oz

21 degrees - Sleepsuit & sleepbag?
The egg shows its 21.8 degrees in this bedroom.
She’s in a footed sleepsuit and a 1 tog sleepsuit. Is this ok? She feels warm but not clamming.
She’s 10 weeks old and on antibiotics for a viral infection, so I’m second guessing everything.

Velcro baby
Should I be concerned I can’t put my 4.5 month old down at all without him crying or waking up? Not for naps, night time sleep or even to go to the toilet 🥲 I know he’s still young but am I making it worse? I’m really not keen on letting him cry it out. Interested to know if anyone else is going through the same?
He has never let us put him down since birth.

Friendship
PLEASE someone tell me if im in the wrong.
So I got married had a baby and moved to a city 1 hr 30 mins from my friends and family. During pregnancy I had really bad anxiety I couldn’t leave the house much so I wasn’t seeing friends much as I would get anxious going on public transport and being away from home (it was a reallyl strange feeling as id never felt like this). On top of this I isolated a lot where I wouldn’t message/call people a lot. My family would constantly be in contact and maybe one friend would also try stay connected to me. Despite this I always felt connected to my friends . Anyways so after giving birth two friends visited one came with gifts. Now I’m more comfortable travelling to my hometown and then visiting other close friends.
So far my other friends have met my baby at 8 months. I initiated the meet up, no gifts, no questions about birth, pregnancy, motherhood etc. I can understand the no contact from my side made it seem like I didn’t want them coming over or knowing about my baby BUT I still feel horrible knowing no one was excited to see my baby. No one’s been asking about her or wanting to spoil her or asking to visit her. Basically talking to me like nothings changed in my life. None of my friends have children and I’ve been telling myself maybe they just don’t understand how much my daughter means to me and how much I’d love them being so interested in getting to know her.
Side note but did anyone else struggle to keep on top of messaging and FaceTiming friends ?
