Heat and sleep

How are we settling our babies in this weather? My little one is 2 weeks and he will not sleep unless on me but that is making him hotter. As soon as he goes in the moses basket he's screaming and crying again 😭

What age would you leave your child alone in the bath?

So my children are 3 & 1 and I bath them together every night because I can't leave them in the bath if the other one starts crying (plus they both love the bath so as soon as they hear the water running my 3 year old starts getting excited and my 1 year old starts crying until I take him in there). Their room is right next to the bathroom, it's one thin wall between them and there isn't much of a hallway upstairs on my house all the doors are connected on different walls so it's literally just a small square. It's hard to get my 3 year old out of the bath but my 1 year old gets fed up after a while which makes it kinda hard to get them both out ready and into bed. My auntie said to just keep talking to my 3 year old while I quickly put my son into bed then get her out and sort them both properly. So I tried it tonight, when my son started crying I took him out, got him ready in the bathroom and started singing my daughters favourite song so she would sing with me and I quickly put him in his bed that had his tonie box and bottle in it already while me and my daughter were singing and went in and got her out. It went smoothly and was so much easier but I still don't really like the fact she was in the bath alone. She's doesn't like getting her face wet and I would've heard any movement or splashing, she was just sitting with her toy duck singing with me. But I just idk is that okay?

Also just to clarify the first answer option. I mean if they can fully wash theirselves (hair and body) and get in and out of the bath on their own.

Did you adjust to the sleep deprivation?

I’m afraid I never will - baby is 5 weeks old

Perfect Prep machine - over heating

Went to make a bottle in the night and the red temperature light is on saying the water is too hot! The machine isn’t in sunlight. Any tips on how to keep water cool in this heatwave?

Chickenpox vaccine reaction?

My 1 year old had the vaccine 10 days ago, been clingy and sleeping more the last week, no fever, but today his body has red spots all over.
Is this just a normal reaction?
