Nail clipping

How on earth are people clipping their little ones nails? My boy is a very busy boy so we’ve always done them whilst he’s asleep, we also have tried the whole role model and then do it on them, we’ve tried wearing him out and clipping them after, I’ve tried whilst he’s distracted by doing a number 2 what else can I do any suggestions?!?😁

We use an electric file and it has to be a two person job. One doing his nails and one reading him a book. It's a bit of a fight to get them done.

I do mine first, or pretend to, then the kids start wanting a look and want theirs doing, I do my nearly 4 year olds cos he always asks me too and then my 1 year olds after, they like it now weirdly, but I dont make a thing about it I just say you want me to do yours too? And theyre always up for it, and if not I leave it till later, i use either baby clippers or if I cant find them my cuticle clippers.. theyre very still and willing otherwise id not use them though 😅 when my 2nd was younger she wasnt too keen so id use a normal file, again doing mine then hers 1 nail at a time, but it works better if theyre kinda willing, or if she was bribed with something chocolatey in one hand while i did the other 😂 but I do my own nails (gels etc) which theyve seen me do loads without getting them involved so they probably dont think anything of it 🤔

Infant dyschezia, help!!!!

My baby was 10 weeks old yesterday and I think he has Infant dyschezia. Before 6 weeks he pooed after every feed, mustard colour and seeded (breastfed baby) and wasn’t in any pain. Then since 6 weeks he’s been going once a day and the colour has changed to brown, watery mucus, he is in so much pain screaming and crying real tears. I’ve taken him to the doctors 3 times and they just say he will grow out of it or it’s down to his vaccines (even though he only had them a week ago). Other than when he’s trying to pass wind or poop, his a very happy baby, smiling and laughing away. What do I do? Can post pictures of poop if needed.

Share your recommendation and experience please

I’m a first-time mum and would love some recommendations for a good nappy brand that you’ve personally found to be leak-proof, gentle on sensitive skin, and overall parent-friendly to use. I’d really appreciate your opinions and experiences.

Can I start breastfeeding at 4 months

I am a first time mom and I chose not to breast-feed my baby and mainly focused on formula feed. Hes never latched or anything. Is it too late to start or try it out? I don’t know what to start. Does anybody have any tips?

Anyone else’s baby end up like this every morning?

No matter how far I put her to the left side she always ends up moving right up to the right side? I do move her back when I notice but I’m just worried she’ll end up there for a prolonged period of time if I don’t wake up for a while?

Help :(

My baby is 17 weeks / 4 months today. Since 9 weeks old he hasn’t had a night feed and was going to bed around 7ish, waking around 2-3am taking his dummy and going back to sleep until 6ish. He was teething Monday-Wednesday and got cold/flu symptoms with that and so started waking more in the night and needing feeds. (He is exclusively breastfed). This has continued and the last 2 nights have been waking every 1-2 hours and needing feeding to get back to sleep. I feel like a zombie. Wondering whether it could be the teething, the heat and needing more fluid or a regression.
Has anybody tried switching from a next to me crib to a big cot? Wondering whether to do this and then whether to have the cot in our room or to try him in his own room but I am hesitant to do that and not hear him / the monitor over his white noise machine. TIA xx
