Washing baby clothes

What does everyone use to wash their babies clothes? I use non bio and comfort but feel like they don't ever smell 'nice' or have a long lasting smell!

Fairy for both detergent and fabric softener

Anything free and clear detergent. Love the arm and hammer one and the arm and hammer baby smells really good

I'm going to use regular gain detergent for my baby. My husband and i are both pretty sensitive to detergents. My husband is specifically allergic to a lot of different baby/free and clear detergents.

Baby clothes should not be washed with scented detergents, as they have very sensitive noses

I use non bio liquid and lenor comfort both my babies 1 year and 2 months have never shown anything bad from using them they are both happy no rashes and clothes smell great.

Sleep training

Everyone on Instagram promoting sleep training either tends to charge for their course or says to ‘comment’ for their guide which in turn doesn’t really help much.

Anyone know of anyone actually giving advice on sleep training?

Gut feeling

I’m trying to get my mind right, trying to find something to take my mind off this got feeling I’m having that something just isn’t right and when I have this feeling I’ve never been wrong. And I just want to not think about what it could possibly need cause I know once I find out it will not be pleasant. How do you shake your worries and this gut feeling?

5am wake ups

My 2 year old keeps waking up at 5am and is cranky and tired enough that she wants to go back to sleep but needs lots of cuddles. But because by this point sleep pressure is low she’s takes over an hour to resettle and fall back to sleep. By this point my alarm is going off 6:15am for work 😖😩
She used to wake up nicely around 7am and we’d all be a lot calmer and have breakfast together but now I’m either letting her sleep in a bit so she’s not over tired and there’s always a big rush to get out the door.

Any tips?

She goes to bed at 8-8:30pm naps around 1pm for 1h-1h:30m

Sleeping tips for newborns?

Hi moms!
How are your babies sleeping, especially those under 3 months?

My almost 8-week-old baby sleeps for hours in my arms, on my chest, or in the carrier, even while I’m moving around doing chores. But the moment I transfer him to his bassinet, he starts grunting, wiggling, and wakes up and starts crying.

I can spend up to 2 hours trying to get him to nap in his bassinet, and he still doesn’t fall asleep. By then, his next feeding is already coming up, and he hasn’t napped at all! 😩

At night, he sleeps much more peacefully when we bed-share. I’ve also noticed that he’s calm and quiet on my chest but much noisier and more restless in his bassinet.

I’d love to hear your real-life experiences!

What actually helped your baby sleep in their bassinet? Do you use a special swaddle, a particular type of bassinet, or any tricks to make the transfer easier?

Sleeping through the night

Anybody else 2 month old sleep through the night? She has her last bottle at about 8 and then doesn’t wake until 5am anybody else similar?

Yourselves

Anyone else feel like they neglect themselves?
My babies get bathed every day or every other day and I feel like I just fully forget about myself like I end up having the quickest showers of my life as my boob monster doesn’t like being away from me for too long
Also kinda feel like I resent my husband over this as he regularly has a bath and will sit there for over an hour just chilling in the bath
