Just for laughs!

The other day my partner and I were at each other and barely talking. Did this while he was out- half thought he wouldn’t even notice. When I came downstairs after a nap with our baby… his first question- ‘Been playing with the blocks by any chance today?’ 😂😂 we both laughed. Hey so sometimes being passive aggressive works no? 😉😂

Breastfeeding constantly

Hello mums 👋 I'm a first time Mummy to my gorgeous boy Albie who is now 2 1/2 weeks old. I've been combination feeding so my husband can bottle feed when I get some sleep for the first part of the night however I have found that when breast feeding I am feeding constantly. He will fall asleep on the breast and despite all the usual attempts, he won't wake up. When I try and put him down or get my husband to take over, he will start screaming and rooting again. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience of this and if it's normal?

Thanks in advance

Snoozeshade

I was wondering if anyone has used a snoozeshade for the pram. It’s meant to not create heat inside but want a better alternative than an umbrella.

Bread Suggestions

Hi, need some suggestions for a good first bread to use for BLW. UK based. I know you're supposed to be careful about salt content and also we usually get a granary which is probably not ideal!

Breastfeeding

Tried to get little one to latch in hospital and were struggling so switched to bottle as I wasn't massively set on breastfeeding anyway. Shes now a week old and Im itching to try again with breastfeeding but worried it could ruin her weight gain and set us back. She does eat well with the bottle, only 1oz down from birthweight 5 days after birth. Expecting her to be back at birthweight at least at our next appointment on Tuesday. Anybody tried again with breastfeeding? Obviously if it didnt work, we still have bottles and plenty of formula. Pic of our little angel just cause 🥰

Bedtime

Do you have a set bedtime? I try and start the routine of bath, story, feed and bed from about 9pm but don't know if this is too late. Wakes anytime between 3. 30-5 for a feed and then again at 6 and then wake for the day at 8.30. Only has 2-4 naps during the day - either following feed or when out for a walk
