Dribble.

My 9 week old is dribbling so much it soaks the mattress and behind her hair is this normal to be dribbling this much?
It’s everyday it’s not worrying me but it’s so annoying as it gets in her hair at back and wet and dries up
What can I do to stop it or what can I do to put around her head that’s safe

It might be the start of teething my L/o is the same I have no help but bibs and muslin cloths are great

Nothing to worry about, but I do think she is teething my health visitor said she’s had two babies one who was born with teeth and the other who didn’t get teeth till they were 2 .. every baby is different- teeth might not be coming through at the moment but they will be shifting themselves under her gums, try and look at her gums .. (although every time I try to look in my sons mouth he thinks it’s food so it can be difficult)

You can use a soaker pad big ones

It's likely not teething it's just the salivary glands switching on. Up until now they've been kind of dormant.

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.
