Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Might be worth getting in with them if you can. I found it so much easier with my son, also gave me a better indication of water temp as after a few mins I was freezing so we ended up making his bath much warmer and it improved things!

Also congrats on your baba x

I would try increasing the temperature ever so slightly. Our little one did the same when we bathed her in our bath using the baby bath seat. Our en-suite is freezing so we got a baby bath and now bath him in the kitchen and he much prefers it. I don’t know if our bath jus felt too big

Which kind do you have? Mine hated hers at first but now cries when I take her out . I find that everything just needs transition.

My daughter would only be ok if she took a bath on my lap id fill the water up just enough to barely cover my legs then id lay her on my legs and wash her up so maybe try that🤷🏼‍♀️💖

It might just be the holder your using my son loved the angelcare but my nephew screamed his head off being in it and only would bathe in a white tub with seat and my son hated that one

Night feeds

When did you stop night feeds, and how did you do it? My little girl is 2 and still wakes up at least 2–3 times a night for milk. It’s honestly so draining 😩 Has anyone been through the same? I’d love to hear what worked for you and how you settled them without a feed 🤍

Freaking out

Had a glass of wine at 7:30 instinctively fed at 10:30 without checking milk or pumping and dumping. Am I terrible or is my baby going to be fine? Also drank a lot of water in between the times and feel literally fine

Cmpa

Did you little ones have cmpa and if so how did you know? From googling im unsure if hes got that or just really bad silent reflux. Hes so uncomfortable drinking his formula and throws himself backwards. Hes needs to burp literally within seconds and i can hear his belly gulp straight away

Venicci Tila

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m considering the Venicci Tila due to it being fairly lightweight and compact. Has anyone bought this or considering it? Would love to hear people’s views!

Thanks ☺️ x

4-Month Sleep Regression Is No Joke! 😭 Send Help!

The 4-month sleep regression is SO real! 😭😩

My baby sleeps pretty well for the first 3–4 hours, but after that, he’s up EVERY SINGLE HOUR! 🫠 We’re exhausted and running on caffeine at this point.

Has anyone else gone through this? How did you survive it? Did anything actually help your baby sleep longer stretches?

Please share your tips, tricks, or even just tell me it gets better!
