Baby products

Hey guys ,
My baby (9 months) is bathed daily and lotioned daily and it works for us as a wind down routine . However she is quite skin sensitive I’ve noticed . I loved the smells and idea of Nalas baby but it will break my girl out in a full blown red patchy rash . We scrapped that and currently using mustela which works good but it’s pricey for us . Does anybody have alternatives that are clean products but work well and a cheaper price ? I don’t like Johnson’s ties to cancer causing ingredients so thats not really doable . Aveeno we tried but it made her itch for some reason ?
Suggestions welcome !!

My first one has eczema and we struggled with sensitive skin too.
Make sure you only dress them in cotton clothes is rule no 1 and no overheating.
We tried almost everything Mustela and GAIA have such strong smells I couldn’t stand myself, not sure why they have to be so strong! Both were ok but didn’t help as much.
My midwife suggested to try sorbolene and mineral oils like Johnson both were such a dumb idea made our baby scream😢 I assume they sting sensitive skins.
Aveno doesn’t have that strong smell which I appreciated but also didn’t help as much.
Depends where you live but here in Australia we have local QV baby creams and shampoo which are super gentle on baby skin.

Also babies don’t need much shower gels/shampoo, they aren’t that dirty so use as minimal as you can. And bathing too often can washout their natural skin oils, I don’t think daily bathing is recommended.

Hope this helps a bit💞

Just simple olive or coconut oil is a nice option.

Baby fall

I’m posting this anonymous because I don’t want to be prejudged. My little girl is 9 month old and has just fell off the sofa, I literally stood up and turned my back for a second to grab something, done it loads of times and never had an issue, it happened at between 7-7:30. She’s been sick a little down herself just before. Am I the worst mam in the world? Will she be alright having a nap? The mam guilt is something else right now. We’ve been up since 5:30 so she’s getting tired as well

If your LO is already sleeping or has fallen asleep at home and you need to go out do you wake them up or let them sleep.

When I say you need to go out I'm not talking a must like a GP's appt. I'm talking say to meet up with a friend.

My 3 weeks old son slept through the night

Good morning, I’m panicking because my son only sleeps in my arms throughout the day and in the past two days every time I tried to put him in his cot he would wake up after 5 minutes. So he had very poor sleep for the past 48 hours. Yesterday I was exhausted and he finally fell asleep. I woke up in the morning and he never woke up to be fed last night. This morning he woke up I changed him and I breastfed him as usual. He doesn’t seem stressed, but I feel really guilty. Did this happen to anyone? Should I be worried?

Night shifts/feeding

My partner is going back to work soon, we’ve been super lucky as he’s managed to have 4 weeks paternity leave but my goodness - how do you manage night shifts/feeding when your partner returns to work?

We are only just managing at the moment with two of us and dreading him returning to work and how I’ll manage considering he’ll need enough sleep to actually be able to do his job. Advice appreciated!!

Can I take my 9 month old on an uber without a car seat?

I may need to go to London (I live in Birmingham) for a few days, and will be taking public transport there. Once I get to London it’ll be quicker for me to order an uber. I won’t be taking a car seat though as I’ll already have a pushchair on me.

Baby carrier recommendations

Hello!

I would like to buy (another) baby carrier and need some recommendations, please.

I currently have a wrap baby carrier and my baby loves it. However, I would like to buy something that is easier and faster to put on.
My baby is 1 months old.

I would appreciate any recommendations from your own experience.

Thank you so much ♥️
