Swimming barrier creams

My little one is 4 months in a week and will be starting her swim lessons the week after. I've read about barrier creams but there are so many on the market and I was looking for any recommendations of what might be best to use as I have no idea what to go for?

Cetraben works well for us but any along those lines are basically identical

My little one will be having his first swim lesson on Sunday and he is having some eczema so I was also looking at what to apply as a barrier before going in the pool. Some other mums have mentioned just using some vaseline so I will try that. Then when I get him rinsed off and bathed after I will use his normal cream as recommended by our HV - Cetraben or Epimax

Which is more important to you?

My mom and my husband dont get along.. at all. It has been putting a strain on my marriage and I'm honestly so tired of trying to keep everyone happy. I really just want to focus on my baby and repairing my marriage. Especially since its been super stressful as first time parents to a 3 month old. I feel bad that I'm kinda giving up on my relationship with my mom but it has been like this for years and I cant keep doing it. These issues have also been contributing to my PPD.

MUMS WHO CO-SLEEP AND HAVE A SEX LIFE

do you even exist?! I haven't had sex with my hubby since baby was born (5 months ago...). my baby WON'T sleep in a crib more than 5 minutes, and we live with more people in the house, so our only option is the bedroom. We don't have much support, and only my mom has watched him for a couple of hours a few times, but she lives far from us. I don't know what to do anymore, we both definitely need it!! please share your tips or advice

Inexpensive full size mattress suggestions

So we are in the “I want to sleep with mommy” phase so I end up sleeping half the night in my daughters room so she doesn’t wake up daddy. It’s fine, but her mattress is sooooo uncomfortable it’s not even funny. I wake up and everything hurts (which might be why she won’t sleep through the night anymore). Do yall have any mattress suggestions?

Does anyone else have a baby that’s an emotional manipulator?

Totally joking, they’re just babies obviously lol. But my daughter loves to play games with us and is very expressive with her faces. I just gave her a kiss on the forehead and she starts to pretend like she’s going to cry. Even though I know she’s messing around I apologize only for her to give me the biggest, most shit-eating smirk possible like some evil villain and when I call her out for it she starts laughing😭 baby girl, you’re only 11 weeks old… you can’t be slick like that yet lmao
