Mosquito and insect repellent

What are moms using on their 1 year olds for insect and bug repellent? I’m going back home which is a tropical country and there is a lot of insects.

Sleeping

4 week old baby - Should we wake a baby up if they’ve been sleeping for 2+ hours (for example)

When do we wake them up or we let them wake naturally?

Has anyone successfully gotten rid of dummies before 12 months? We only use it to fall asleep then he spits it straight out, doesn’t wake looking for it in the night so just want to remove it all together before he gets attached, any advice?

Swaddle transition

How did you transition your baby to a sleeping bag from a swaddle if you used one? What age were they and how long did it take for them to get used to it? My 8 week old has a really strong startle reflex and constantly wakes himself up from his arms 🫠

How many day naps is your baby having?

My little one is 20 weeks and refused a nap this afternoon so wondering if we should be dropping a nap down to 3 naps?

Would people mind commenting baby age and how many naps they have a day please?

FYI… baby is a terrible sleeper, still 1-2 hourly wakes at night generally, with extremely rare longer stretches. At this point I have nothing really to lose in changing day sleep 😂

Postpartum research

Im a pregnant university student and I was wondering if anyone would actually be interested in filling out a questionnaire for postpartum depression risk factors before I decided what my topic is. I think this topic definitely needs more research and now that im about to be a mum its given me a new perspective on how stigmatised mothers mental health can be

Postpartum bleeding

3 weeks 2 days postpartum today and mannnnn I cannot wait to stop wearing pads 🙃

I’m now using normal pads rather than postpartum maternity pads but I’m so sick of it, it makes me feel so unclean and unhygienic. Anyone else?

If you’ve already stopped bleeding / had a previous pregnancy, how long did it take for your bleeding to stop?
