Self settling

Does anyone have any tips for teaching their baby to self settle? We have an 11 week old baby and we want to try and start teaching him to self settle. At the moment he usually only settles to sleep in our arms (usually mine when I’m bouncing him around 😂)

Making bottles abroad

Hi, I have just had my baby but we are due to go to Tenerife when she will only be 5 months old. I am formula feeding so wondering if anyone knows the best way to make/sterilise bottles abroad.

We will have a fridge and I do also have rapid cool flasks.

Thanks
Stacie

Lose or gain weight?

Did breast feeding help you lose or gain weight? I hear people say that breast feeding helps you lose the baby weight faster but am having a hard time believing that.

I had my first baby at 19 and feel like in less than 2 weeks I was back to pre baby weight. I breastfed a little bit but I’m chalking that up to being young.

I’m now 25 and just had my son. Not expecting to be pre birth weight any time soon but I’m so hungry all the time! I’m worried it’s going to make me gain a bunch😭

Want to give up baby

I don't think I can do this anymore. 7 month old, always grouchy, sleep is shit, don't feel any love for her. Nothing ever seems to make her content. I've been surviving on 3 hours of broken sleep a night since she was born. No support around. Feel like she'll be better off with a family that actually want her.

I got this poo from my 5 and a half week told today, should i be worried? there’s like a brownish / blackish / greenish streak through it, never had this before and a first time mum so slightly panicked but trying to be calm🥴

Anyone have experience with this? How did you recover and how long did it take?

Crawling

Feel so stressed and trying not to!
My baby is 8 months 1 week and literally hates being put on tummy to try and build strength for crawling. She’s stretching far but feel she’s no where near crawling but she’s so frustrated.

Anyone else’s baby not crawling ?
