20 month old holding pee overnight

The last 3-4 days I have woken up to bone dry nappies. I have consciously been trying to get her to consume more water and she is acting herself so I don’t have a feeling anything is “wrong”, she has also been having wet nappies in the day. Is this normal for this age?

It’s a hormone change that causes them to be dry overnight, I don’t think they can consciously be holding it. 20 months is lower than average but not abnormal, if she’s otherwise fine and having normal wet nappies during the day (and probably a really big one first thing in the morning), I wouldn’t worry

Our little one has been dry overnight since she was about 13 months. It's young but they all develop it at a different age. We actually started using it as a way to get her used to a potty and she will sit on a potty to do her morning wee some days.
If your little one still has wet nappies in the day, it's very unlikely to be something to worry about as it's a hormonal thing like the other commenter says.

Thank you so much for the reassurance ladies ❤️❤️

Reflux/ Gas issues

I feel like I’m at a dead end with this. My 7 week old will fuss for hours and bend awfully in my arms and rocker. He’s clearly uncomfortable but I’ve tried everything to help. Sitting him up after feeds, burping every now and then during feeds, belly massages and bicycle runs, gripe water. You name it I’ve done it. It breaks my heart, I hate seeing my baby in discomfort, please say there’s other things I can do :(

Riddle me this…

Has your child or children ever came home from school/ Daycare saying new phrases that they HAD to have learned over there????

For example : my son was playing and he shouts ‘NOT On MY WATCH!’ -randomly.

It was hilarious bc I know exactly which teacher talks like this

Found this super cute dress from the 80s at a local thrift store

There's no care label.
Should I hand wash or risk the machine?

LAUNDRY!

What laundry detergent is everyone using for their newborns??

Sleep consultants- are they actually worth it?

For anyone who has had a sleep consultant to help with your babies sleep, I want honest opinions are they actually worth it, or are they a waste of money? I’ve seen that it works for some mamas but then not so much for others but I am really at a loss where to go next and what to do. My 14 month old has never been a great sleeper and if anything we are just constantly going backwards rather than forwards and it’s honestly killing me. It’s affecting my mental/work/physical health. I’m a single mum too so I’m the one who’s surviving on constant broken sleep.

I don’t want to do any harsh methods like cry it out or the Ferber method, so do I get a sleep consultant? I’d love to hear other people’s stories who’s had one and did it honestly help them?

Hating every bit of newborn and pp

Don’t judge me.

FTM and I’m finding it too difficult to adjust to this newborn and pp phase. I am in constant anxiety about producing enough breast milk for her. I rush her back to sleep and in constant awareness that she’ll wake up and ask feeds. I’m also using 1-2 feeds of formula milk. Breastfeeds has become an anxious task for me and I’m not enjoying the baby.

I hope this phase is temporary and it will pass. Currently 2.5 weeks postpartum.
