Footless pajamas

Why do sleepers become footless at 12 months?! Do they really regulate body better? Are you still putting them in sleep sacks? Using socks? Or giving a blanket? ((Room ranges in the 70s))

They definitely sell sleepers with the feet attached at & after 12 months. Carters & Gerber for sure if that’s what you’re after. My son runs hot so he just wears his pull up to bed.

My son is in 24 month sleepers with feet. They absolutely make them. Heck they make footed pjs all the way up to adult size- I have one!

I can't even choose one of these because it 100% depends on the night

I think they just become a bit annoying/limiting for the child, eg some are walking by then. Their body sizes become more varied too like height and foot size so a one size fits all job isn't as agreeable across the market. But yeh I found it annoying too, for me it was the loss of the in-built mittens! My daughter used to scratch her scalp in her sleep and draw blood

If you’re in the UK you can get PJs with feet in Primark up until about 2/3

My son is in 24m/2T and I started separates at 18 month because the sleepers just become too bug a hassle. Getting him in and out of connected pj's was not worth it. Its extra convenient now as we are starting potty training and there's no way I'd want to deal with sleepers and footie pjs during that.
He does wear socks and sometimes a sleep sack depending on temperature

You can buy foot pjs well beyond 12mnths

After 12 mo they can use a blanket now for bed. Yes you don't want footed pj after 12 mo bc we find toddlers overheat easily.

Advice! Blood in babies poo!

Looking for advice!!!!

Hi, I’m looking for advice and wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar.

My little girl is 14 weeks old and exclusively breastfed. She went 3 days without pooing, during which she was straining a lot and screaming in pain when trying to go. I tried belly and foot massages, and eventually, on day 3 (Tuesday), she managed to go. She completely filled her nappy and then went another 6 times that day, 4 of which contained fresh red blood.

On Wednesday, she pooed another 5 times, with blood in one of them. I took her to the doctors, who said blood in babies’ poo can sometimes be normal. Doctor said she looked well, she also had no temperature or vomiting, and they didn’t suspect an infection, but sent off a stool sample to rule it out. This has since come back negative.

Yesterday she seemed more settled but wasn’t feeding properly, frequently unlatching. I also pump twice a day, so I tried offering expressed milk in a bottle, but she wouldn’t take that either.

Today has been much the same. She’s been really unsettled, still not feeding properly from either breast or bottle, skipping feeds completely or latching and unlatching constantly. This morning she was screaming in pain, then pooed and settled a little. However, this evening she’s had another small poo with some blood in it. Her poo has also been really mucusy, almost like snot.

I’m planning to take her back to the doctors on Monday, unless she gets worse or things continue like this tomorrow the I will take her to hospital.

I’m already struggling with postnatal anxiety, so this has been really worrying me. Has anyone else’s baby experienced anything similar?

She’s had plenty of wet nappies but despite this I’m still concerned as she’s not feeding good at all.

Also not sure if it’s linked but the other night 3.5 hours after a feed, whilst she was sleeping she started choking/gargling really quietly, I picked her up, patted her back and it resolved but no sick or anything came out.

Sorry for the long post and the pics, just desperate for advice.

Toddlers when outdoor - control?

Hello,

Does anyone else’s toddler want to roam free without holding your hand when in public. I.e outdoors/ shopping centres etc. mine refuses to hold my hand and when in the pram will literally scream and continue screaming even if it’s for a full 30 minutes straight. Oh boy, the stares I get are unbearable and make me feel like I’m a shit mum. I have no idea how to help her or with this situ. Any advice or tips greatly appreciated.

Nappy Cream

My daughter’s nursery have requested we keep a nappy cream in their bag that doesn’t contain any nut oil (I usually use bepanthen but that contains almond oil so isn’t allowed). Any recommendations, don’t want sudocream

Are there any other mamas struggling?

Hey guys, I’m from south wales and I have a beautiful daughter who’s nearly 3 and I’m finding it really tough. I’m trying to do it all, be a single mother, work part time and in part time education trying to get a good career but most days it all feels like too much. My daughter is in a phase where she just doesn’t listen and no matter how fun the activities I try to do with her are I end up wishing I never did them. I lose my patience really quickly some days and I often feel like people are watching me if I’m shopping etc and think I’m a horrible mother and honestly some days I feel like I’m a bad mother because I don’t feel like I’m around enough and when I am around I’m often stressed. I love my daughter more than anything but sometimes I wish I had my career sorted out before I had a child and I feel so much guilt and shame for feeling this way. My family often make comments about my parenting even though sometimes I don’t think they mean much by it but it still hurts when i genuinely am trying my best. I don’t have any mam friends or many friends in general who I can talk to about anything and I guess I’ve come here in hopes there’s at least one person that feels my struggles or have done in the past. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated 🙏🫶

My husband affects my mental health

I do my best to have patience and manage the person he is. It’s tough but lately it’s just been very stressful. Anything I ask of him he responds something that I did or didn’t do. Our arguments lately he brings up my parents and their flaws and how I am with my parents. Is that okay??
