Just bought new clothes for my kids, threw them in the dryer and now they have shrunk 🤦‍♀️ any tips on how to get them back to original size?

I used to air dry all my cotton clothes but now having two kids (one being a newborn) I have absolutely no time and just throw everything in on low heat

You can’t really unshrink clothes after they’ve shrunk - cotton clothes shrink the most so when I’m buying cotton I buy a size bigger (even w no dryer) knowing they’ll shrink more. Synthetic fibres don’t shrink much at all.

MIL kissing baby

My baby girl was born on 2/15/26, my husband and I told our immediate family no kisses at all, wash hands etc. For the first 2 times his family visited they followed the rules and to be honest I didn’t let them hold her because I had a feeling. But since they seemed to be respecting it I let them hold her on the 3rd time and everything seemed fine. The 4th visit she came up to us and straight went to kiss her head, it gave me no time to respond. I got very upset and went upstairs with her. My husband followed asking if I needed help, I told him I was very upset and just said just drop it. Fast forward a few days and she gets sick. He refuses to accept it was from her, he keeps saying it was probably him. They wanted to come over for Easter and I said no, I am still very upset. She has been the only one breaking the rule, my mom was here helping me out with baby and the house stuff for about a month and she respected it from day 1. We have gone to several doctor appt and ER visits because she was not getting better. Its been over a week now and she seems to be on the mend now. My husband always gets upset because I get upset when his family does stuff like this. Any advise?

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.

Do you teach your child the proper terms for genitalia (penis/vagina)?

My husband is uncomfortable with our daughter knowing or using the word "penis". Do you teach your child the proper terms? I say it should be normalized but he disagrees because it makes him uncomfortable.

Formula

I’m looking to switch my baby to formula I’ve been looking at the European brands cause they seem to have less gunk than the US formulas, but I really am scared to use Formuland. I don’t know which one cause I’m needing to switch here soon

Changing nappies

How often are people changing nappies?
At each feed or other ? My baby is just getting older to 4 hours between feeds so not sure whether I should be waiting for the next feed or changing in between? Obviously if it’s a poo it’s changed straight away.
