My son is about 1 month old. I was wondering if anyone has tips for helping him keep his paci in his mouth whild he sleeps? We generally only give him the pacifier when he sleeps at night, if that makes a difference.

Not really anything you can do about that

My lo is 3 months old and can't keep a pacifier in either.

Maybe try a different pacifier?

My daughter refused a pacifier. Some babies just don't want them

Mine was the same and got her some tomee tippee ultra light sta put dummies and it never comes out now
My daughter was a late walker at nearly 20 months but this one is determined to climb, cruise, move at not even 9 months. Any tips on helping him move around safely when Iāve got him and his sister (3) to watch?

Iām so excited and trying to get organised but not sure if Iām rushing. All advice welcomeā¤ļø
1. Iām having an elective c section what after care bits were actually helpful? Are the silicone patches worth it when did you start using and what brand is best? Was a peri bottle still necessary for cleaning the downstairs area or not?
2. Maternity bras. What ones would you recommend and also when did you get them I was thinking of getting them pretty soon but also not sure if theyāll fit by the time I need them or did you just size up or waited till closer to the time?
3. When did you start washing baby clothes and packing hospital bag? I pretty much have everything we need already so I could pack now I just donāt know if I should wait. Same with washing babies clothes etc I plan on washing all newborn and 0-3 months initially then bigger sizes closer to when sheāll actually need them but I still have 8 weeks how early did you start washing clothes and organising drawers etc?

Can someone please tell me this gets better šš
My baby was sleeping really well and now his sleep is completely chaotic, he will go to sleep initially but then 3 hours later heās making noises, crying out etc and then itās every hour after that!š he can fall asleep on his own most of the time so I donāt understand this and what Iām meant to do. Heās 13 weeks old but Iād say the disrupted sleep has been happening for the past 2/3 weeks.
Anyone else? or anyone else been through this and know when it ends/how to help it?

Last time my in laws saw baby, she was super unhappy because she was hungry (The mum kept saying to just give her a dummy) I left the room about 5 times to breastfeed so they hardly saw her.
Last night we visited them & I made sure I even topped up with formula to avoid that situation happening again so they can have some nice cuddles. She had been awake for ages then fell asleep on the 5 min car journey there.
When we got there and put her in their armsā¦all they both did was complain that sheās sleeping and kept saying ādo somethingā and kept shaking her arms and legs and poking her face and saying āwake upā.
I explained to them to please do NOT wake her as Iāve literally only just got her to sleep 5 mins ago so she will be super unhappy, she will just cry and want boob. Did they listen? No.
Sheās a newborn for Christ sake. When sheās awake she doesnāt do much anyways. What do they expect?
The mum then phoned her neighbour and asked if she wanted to come see the baby (didnāt ask me if that was ok, this person is a stranger to me). She came in with her husband and child, all started touching herā¦.they all visibly had a rotten cold !!!
After some time, they admitted they were really ill. I just looked at my partner, hoping heād say something in that moment.
But I mean, the damage was already done. Theyāve all already touched her and got up in her face.
Every time I visit my in laws they do stuff Iām not happy with. Just puts me off seeing them every time.
I canāt mention it to my partner because any time I do, he gets defensive and angry at meš¤£

My partner woke up with a cold on Monday, and I knew it was obviously going to do the rounds in our house! š
I have a bit of a sore throat/headache - nothing major, but little miss (nearly 10 weeks) has woken up a little bit bunged up today. š¤§
I managed to collect and freeze about 50ml of colostrum before she arrived, and Iām wondering if I should give her some of that preemptively? If so, how much is enough? Wanna protect my supply as much as I can especially with winter on the way but if I can use it as a preventative measure I absolutely will! š¤·š¼āāļøš«¶š¼
