What are the best brand of nappies to use?

Imo:
Rascals
Fred & Flo (Tesco)
Little angels (Asda)

I also think the Mamia (Aldi) are okay but they feel cheap to the touch.

Depends on the shape of your child.

My daughter has a big bum and small waist. Huggies fits her shape perfectly.

My son could flip between huggies and pampers. He was a chunky monkey. Once he started walking and stopping gaining weight (due to activity) he wore Rascal's

My friend's daughter is tall and skinny and can only use rascals

We've used pampers but Aldis are just as good x

We didnt get on with aldi and our little boy had a reaction to them, we use sainsburys and cannot fault them at all

We use supermarket own brand during the day, and Rascals at night.

i love huggies snug & dry for my girl

I’m with pampers atm, but we’re changing brands as soon as we run out as they leak a lot. I’ve been recommended Fred and Flo and the Aldi mamia ones x

Aldi - Mamia
Asda - Little Angels

Fred and flo -tesco
Little angels - asda

I like comfy koalas because they are very absorbent but are also biodegradable. You have to order them online

We use the mamia ones or nutmeg from Morrisons, with both of my kids pampers seemed to always leak

Nappy changes at nighttime

My boy is 8 weeks old. Does everyone change when they wake for feeds? He has a bottle around 9pm and a nappy change. then wakes up 2/3 times during the night. He usually takes a bottle then falls back to sleep quickly. If he hasn't done a poo am I doing the right thing by leaving till morning? Please help a struggling mum out 😢👏🏼

Putting themselves to sleep

Ok I know this might seem daft but has anybody else's baby started going to sleep themselves

I put Freya down to make her a bottle today and I came back and she was fast asleep

Apparently according to her dad she does this during the night

AND she slept 9:30pm until 5:50am today all the way through I'm grateful but just wondering if it's normal

Clinginess

I have a 9 week old and when he was first born the minute I put him down he’d cry it got to point where I was barely getting an hour sleep every night cause he wouldn’t even settle on my partner, he’s now 9 weeks and exactly the same once my partner went back to work it left me with the only option of co sleeping with him otherwise it’d be more dangerous me being so tired around him I feel as tho it’s only made it worst he can’t stand being put down it leaves me in a situation where I can’t do anything for myself cause he’s in my arms constantly I try with morning feed like once he’s don’t feeding I wait 20 mins then they transfer him I’ve tried every method swaddling, feet them bum then head then hand gently on chest we do car rides but he wakes up as soon as car stops pram walks he’s familiar with feeling of the stones under pram on our drive so wakes up I’ve tried carrier but once put down wakes up again, I love him to pieces but it gets overwhelming especially with the dog as the dog follows me around and wants attention to not to mention the house is a mess and my partner tried his best but he work long hours it’s driving me insane especially the crying it’s not like a slight cry it’s like cry until can’t catch breath kind of cry until I pick him up again

Annoyed

I am so sick of my family telling me “there’s something wrong with your baby” all the time. She’s my second born my first is a boy he was a calm baby. She cries a lot. It’s just really getting to me now. I tell them it’s because she’s tired or overstimulated and they are like “why is she overstimulated?” Like hello she’s a baby!!!!!!

Baby mostly sleeps during the day

Is that normal for my 5weeks old to sleep most of the day? He basically stays up maybe for 30’ then he wants to sleep again. He fusses and wants to feed to sleep. We do very little , no tummy time.
What’s your baby doing?

Breastfeeding guilt

I struggled to produce enough for my first baby and he had to go onto be fully formula fed at 10 weeks. I now have a 3 week old and we're having the same issues, my supply is slightly more than with this one, but not enough as she has still lost too much weight and is now supplemented with formula. I'd really hoped to get it right this time and be able to breastfeed throughout, I'd done a ton of research on what foods to eat/avoid, how to keep hydrated etc. I just feel guilty that I can't... Pumping is discouraging too because I get so little out. I know my son is thriving despite being formula fed, but the guilt that I can't do it with this baby either keeps making me feel like I've failed her already. I knew this was a possibility, so why do I feel this way? 😭😭😭
