My 14 month old hates being touched... Except cuddles, kisses being picked up etc .
She screams and flails around for everything else e.g. washing hands, wiping face, putting on shoes, taking temperature. Doesn't let doctors/nurses do basic non invasive obs without freaking out. Doesn't let us take her hand to guide hers to do something. Is this normal? She is quite strong willed. It's hard work, and a bit embarrassing. I literally can't take her to get her feet measured.

I also have a strong willed little one. For the feet measuring, poo into a next and ask for their measuring guide to take home and do with the child yourself. It's handy when they go up shoe sizes too
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 😬

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

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?

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 😬
