Bedroom 29 degrees

Our 5 month old and 2 1/2 year olds rooms are sitting at 29 degrees…
I’ve tried everything to cool down.
I’ve taken toddlers duvet away and baby will be in just a nappy tonight. Is that okay? I’m panicking about how hot our rooms are

Keep windows open to have air flow and just keep an eye on them as that is quite hot. I’ve got my Lo in only a nappy tonight as our flat gets extremely hot. We’re fortunate enough to have brought a air conditioning unit for about £140 and it works absolute wonders to cool the room down all day and then it holds the cool for a while once it’s off and we put her to sleep x

Ours is exactly the same and has been for a few nights now, weve tried to cool it as much as we can. My LO is in a nappy and 0.5 tog sleeping bag as he won't sleep without a bag on and has been fine the last few nights! x

Ours is the same.. I've had fans on all day in my LO's room.. but temp just keeps rising .. it's at 26 and rising.. I've attached ice packs to the front of the fan to blow colder air .. but even that's not working .. he doesn't actually feel hot himself. And he likes to be warm and wrapped at night but I'm Guna just put him in a nappy tonight and see how he goes .. thing is his room is south facing so of course the sun is glaring on his window! .. it's such a nightmare

I'm actually having a meltdown about it .. even considering buying an air conditioning unit just to try and help

If you have one, open your loft hatch. Heat rises so it'll cool the house down 😊

Also, portable air con units are fab! Usually cheapest from places like screwfix or b&q

Baby and breastfeeding

I have a 3 week old and I am exclusively breastfeeding, I’ve found in the past week or so, he latches on very well to one breast and drinks with no problem but the other breast, he will latch bit detach himself after a bit and I’m having to latch him on several times. When he does detach milk usually sprays everywhere which makes me think it’s the flow that’s quite strong, but has anyone else had this problem before and can offer some advice? Thank you!

Is so selfish to continue to have kids when you’re barely scraping by financially and mentally

My friend, just announced her pregnancy and she just had her third baby 8 months ago?! And she already has a one and two year old. She constantly vents about how things are so tight financially but “makes things work”. These kids end up suffering 😢I’m usually such a supportive friend, but this…. I can’t support. It’s low key making me not want to be friends with her. Coming from someone who is two and done, I recognized my limit and drew a line and overall I’m just tired of hearing her rant about how things are so tight financially and always venting about her marital problems and then continues to add to her stress. Reality has to set in some time!? Should I cut her off?

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 😭

Sometimes I wish people would just listen to me…

Baby had vaccines on Friday we’d been giving Tylenol round the clock til Monday night he seemed like he was doing ok. At night we take turns staying with him (I’m not ready to leave him in his room yet) but he has been super clingy and fussy tonight and I mentioned twice he felt warm so hubby told me he just felt comfy. I asked hubby to take his temp while he was breastfeeding. It was normal 97.7 but I wasn’t convinced he felt too warm. So I took it again 99.7 I gave him more Tylenol but I feel like he’s been uncomfortable for hours because I didn’t trust my gut.

I moved out

Me and my partner have seperated and I just had my first night away, I struggled to sleep but surprisingly didn't cry. I've actually only been crying from the excitement that I can put any of my stuff anywhere I want for the first time ever in my life. This place is mine and he isn't here to destroy that for me
