Help! What do I do in this heat!

Our bedroom is reading at 26.7 degrees and worried about baby sleeping in the room. We have the curtains and windows closed during the day and a fan and air con unit running but it’s still way too hot. Really worried about SIDS. Any advice?

Nursery not offering breast milk

My little girl is 9 months and still breastfed. She started at nursery last week and I sent expressed milk in bags as previously discussed with the nursery and they said it would be fine. She picked up a cold at her settling in sessions the week before so was under the weather all week. The first couple of days they tried to give her milk but she only took a tiny amount. On Thursday she was dropped off at 7.30am and picked up around 3.15pm and nursery don’t seem to have even offered any milk in that time as the bags were untouched. She was very hungry when she got home and had several oz from a bottle (from her dad who picked her up). Is this normal/ok?! She definitely would have had multiple feeds in that time if I’d been with her, but I’m worried they didn’t even try to feed her!

How many bottles should we be giving our babies?

I have a 9 month old and he has a bottle at 7am,12pm,4pm and then bedtime 7:30pm, so 4 a day. He has solids throughout the day and is happy with it but i dont know if im meant to be giving him less bottles and more food or just keep it the way it is.

Own room at 5 months

Baby is now 5 months and sleeps in her next to me. My bedroom is in the loft and it’s currently 30 degrees in there and very hard to cool down and I don’t have a big fan. Could I put her in her own room in her cot for the night with the monitor? There’s no room for me to sleep in there too

Prep machines?

I’m currently switching over from breastfeeding to formula and I’m debating getting a prep machine.

I’m using Kendamil which is measured in ml, and the prep machines water is in oz which is slightly different to ml. Has anyone had any issues with this or does it not affect the baby?

Baby carriers

Can anyone recommend a baby carrier that works well with C-section? I’m due my c-section in 2 weeks and not really sure what’s the best way about things - carrier, sling… not going to get to a sling library before hand so would appreciate advice for a first time mum!
