Am I interacting enough with baby?

My little girl is 3 weeks old. Im EBF.
When shes awake I feed her, either have a cuddle with her or place her in her rocker with lullabies.
I read her a 1 or 2 stories a day or sing nursery rhymes.
She isn't a fan of her play matt yet for tummy tine or on her back. She'd rather be in her rocker or having cuddles. She has tummy time on mine and partners chest and she does lift her head but just doesnt like on the matt yet.

She really only cries if she wants feeding or is getting her nappy changed so its easy to sometimes leave her chilling in the moses basket or rocker in the day.
Is there anything else I could/should be doing with her?
We have a black and white contrast card book but she doesnt seem to focus on it yet. Any tips?
We are bathing about 2 times a week since her cord fell off and her skins quite dry.

Stepkids (12F, 17M) hating the new pregnancy.. how to handle?

Hey everyone, looking for advice on navigating some tough stepfamily dynamics.

My partner and I have been together for a while. There was a lot of drama with his ex at the beginning, so the kids didn't like me initially. I get why the transition was hard, but we're running into a wall now that I gave birth.

The 12-year-old daughter has been super moody and upset about the pregnancy, especially stressing over whether it's a girl (we waited till I gave birth to find out the gender). On a recent FaceTime (which included the ex and the 17yo son), she literally sat in the background the whole time texting, ignoring us completely.

It really unsettled me especially the thought of her resentment if I had a daughter. I gave birth to a baby boy but still.

How do you guys handle stepkids who are openly resentful about a new baby, and how do you set boundaries with FaceTime calls when the ex is involved? Any advice is appreciated!

Sudden mama only phase

My LO is 9 weeks, since last week he suddenly only wants me. He used to take a bottle ebm from my husband and be soothed by my dad/brother — now he refuses both and only calms when I hold him. Contact naps only, cries when put down.

Don’t get me wrong , i love him so much but sometimes need to step away 🥲😥 my back is killing me from holding him all day and sometimes I just need to function.— and right now I can't, because he won't settle for anyone else. My husband used to offer one bottle of ebm per day so that i can get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep but now that’s also impossible

Is this a phase? Will appreciate any tips

Looking for support

Last night was one of the most frightening and emotionally overwhelming nights I’ve experienced in a long time, and I’m honestly not sure what to do.

Taking baby shopping

I feel absolutely insane but I'm nervous to take my almost 4 month old out shopping with me lol. I was hoping he'd be able to sit in the cart so I don't have to bring in the car seat. Should I just put him in a baby wearing carrier? Why do I feel like I'm making a bigger deal out of this than it should be 😂

Stain remover recommendations!

I have a feral toddler who gets covered in mud/paint/food at nursery and a newborn who poos a lot 😂 I used to swear by washing up liquid on poo stains when my toddler was a baby but for some reason I’m struggling to get stains out! I used to use Vanish but it started leaving bleach spots all over the clothes (weird as it was Vanish for colours and also says bleach free). I’ve been using the Pink Stuff stain remover spray and Astonish to soak clothes but feel like there has to be something out there that’s the holy grail. Any tips and tricks or product recommendations? Thank you!

Daytime Naps

How long does it take for you to get your baby to sleep for a nap during the day? My 10 week old takes like 45/60mins to get him to stay asleep in his crib but only like 5 mins for a contact. I love contact naps but can't have him doing it all day!
