Breast milk
How much breast milk should we keep in the fridge before we start to freeze it and can you store it in the fridge for 5 days then freeze or dose it need to go straight to the freezer
I am just pumping as little one refuses to latch and get about 240ml every 3 hours

I remember it like 666…6 hours can be left out, 6 days can be left in the fridge and 6 months can be left in the freezer. If it’s before 6 days then yes can be frozen still but I would use it straight away once thawed rather than keeping it in fridge after if that makes sense?

Nighttime nappies
Hi all, does anyone have recommendations for a good nappy for nights? 3 month old is sleeping in good stretches but nappies can’t keep up. Tried Aldi and pampers and now on Sainsbury’s and they are great in day but not at night?! Thanks so much

Co sleeping
Hello! What do you do to stop the baby from rolling off the edge of the bed? Out bed is quite high and LO had now learnt to roll!

Breastfeeding
Does it actually get easier?
Two weeks postpartum and I’m exhausted. Baby is awake every 1-2 hours feeding and is EBF. I can’t sleep during day as my toddler doesn’t nap and so I feel like I’m running on fumes.
Do you get longer stretches when baby is breastfed? I’ve seen some women say they haven’t slept in years for more than two hours due to breastfeeding!

Booking 16 week jabs
I had to cancel our 16 week jabs due to illness and my gp keeps telling me that inhealth will be back in contact to rebook them. It’s now been 4 weeks and still nothing.. anyone have any knowledge here?

I need your help/advice
My 6 day old hasn’t done a poo for almost 72 hours now. He’s been passing wind and peeing normally. The last time I spoke to the midwife, it had been 48 hours since his last poo, and she said she wasn’t too worried and advised me to continue feeding him.
I’m calling again tomorrow, but I wanted to see if anyone has experienced something similar. We switched from formula to 100% breastfeeding about 3 days ago, and I have no idea whether he’s getting enough milk. I can see and hear him swallowing, but it’s still so confusing trying to know how much he’s actually getting.
Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Schedule/Routine
My LO is 11 weeks and I’m trying to start building a routine, as I’ve noticed her sleep varies. The last couple of days have been really difficult to get her to nap and she’s clearly tired but fights it. I’m wondering if I had more structure in our day, if it would help. She also doesn’t sleep through the night yet. Any recommendations or methods that worked for people? Or is this all normal and I just need to wait it out?
