Son hates the bath!

Does anyone have any advise on getting my little one happy in the bath? He absolutely HATES it, screams and cries the minute he sees the water running. He’s been like this since a newborn and i really hoped it would have improved by now. We’ve tried different temp water, toys, me getting in with him etc, and it’s still a screaming match! Thanks

Why do people have such audacity?!

On vacation with my husband & our youngest baby (10 months). We’re walking down the street & this older lady sees my baby walking & asks how old she was & I answer. Then she says look at that hair & touches her head then immediately pats me on the back & says congratulations. While I’m sure there was good intent, why do random people feel entitled to touching a strangers baby?! It happened so quickly I didn’t even get a chance to react before realizing what had transpired. Would this peeve you?

Pushchair vs carrycot

Has anybody put their bay in the seat attachment yet or are they still in the carry cot. My baby is really nosey and I feel like she’d benefit from being in the pushchair attachment so that she can see but I still feel like she’s small and should be in the carrycot. I know people with older babies who are still in the carrycot so I’m just not sure.

She cries when she’s in the carry cot but is really happy when I pick her up and she can look around. Think part of it is I’m not ready for her to be in the pushchair as it makes her seem like a bigger baby than she is.

Any advice would be appreciated

I just feel like I’m failing

I’ve never felt so deflated and rejected in my life. This last week has just been horrendous. I had mastitis and now my 4 month old has been on a nursing strike all week so she’s hardly feeding. I feel like we used to have such a great bond, she was always smiling and chatting to me and now I just get screamed at most of the day while everyone else gets the smiles. What am I doing so wrong? Why does she hate me so much? I just don’t know what to do anymore because nothing is ever enough or seems right for her.

I just want my smiley, chatty girl back who would eat for the whole day if she was given the chance. I’m completely heartbroken

Baby sleeping in next to me

My baby is 12 weeks old and we mostly cosleep. When we Co sleep he wakes 2 times in the night (bed 11pm - first wake 4am - second wake 6:30am), but when I put him to sleep in the next to me crib he wakes up every 45mins. He is breastfed. Any advice on helping him sleep longer stretches in the crib please.

Do you think if I just completely stop cosleeping he’ll eventually sleep longer in the next to me ?

When is milk supply established?

I'm currently 3.5 weeks pp and I'm still doing about 2-3 pumps from midnight to 7am to get milk supply production going and up, in addition to breastfeeding/ pumping every 2-3 hours in the daytime. It is tiring me out particularly with the early hours pumping. When is milk supply established so I can start to reduce the number of pumping or lengthen the gap of pumping?
