Sick Babies

Just want to know I’m not alone in this. If you had a sick baby and didn’t get to enjoy the first part of motherhood properly. Do you get jealous seeing other parents getting to enjoy the things you missed out on

This light sound wild i only went out a few time in the whole year as I was so scared my little on would get sick and mostly she had a horrid cold where I’d be up all night watching he none stop because of it but it’s normal but so scary and I’d be mad how these people can go on mad hikes in the woods with a newborn and I was so scared to let her get sick that she got more sick that usual every week a cold it’s okay either way just be you. Mother good had as hell but we all rock it in our own way 🌸

Washing liquid

Hi! I can’t stand the weird smell of any of the blue non bio washing stuff. Is there anything else that can be used for washing newborn? Something that smells a bit better 😬

Dream feeding

Hi
I need to stop dream feeding my baby at night when he wakes up. How do you do this or transition? He is mainly breastfed but I’ve started to give a bottle on the night on the last feed before he sleeps

Car seat

Anyone have a car seat where your toddlers head doesn’t fall forward when they fall asleep??

Anyone else?

Anyone else a c section, co sleeping, breastfeeding mama and your body is just in bits? I don’t know if my bed is just uncomfortable postpartum or if it’s my body and cosleeping/breastfeeding positions. I feel like stretching helps a little but my hips and lower back especially are awful, but generally I just feel so achy and uncomfortable most of the time. Is it just me?

What wakes your baby up?

I'm curious...when your baby wakes overnight, what is it waking them up? Is it hunger or something else? My little boy (breastfed) only wakes for two nights feeds (which is great!) but wakes himself up after wriggling/flapping about in his sleep every 1.5/2 hours too 😬
