Cold milk in heatwave

I'm exclusively pumping and feeding my 11 week old via bottle. I'm wondering whether to heat up his milk before every feed, or in this heatwave I should keep it slightly cooler?

We always fed cold, if baby takes it there’s no harm x

My baby is nearly 11wks and has always taken cold as she doesn't like to wait and I don't like to risk wasting a bottle 😅

Sleep regression?

Baby has started screaming at night everytime I put him down in his next to me and won’t stop unless I’m cuddling him. Is this the sleep regression? Anyone else experiencing it?

Someone just kissed my baby’s face

My FIL just kissed my baby’s face. It’s the 4th time he’s seen my baby, so I didn’t think to list out all the rules again. We got him to stop, but I’m freaking out. I felt like I was having a panic attack ( I feel better now but I’m still really worried about my baby). I contacted my pediatricians office, but they are closed so I won’t hear back until tomorrow. My husband told me that I’m over reacting … I don’t know if anyone has had this happen to them? Am I overreacting?

Sleep help

Could I ask how do you get your LO down for a nap or for bed?

My first was really difficult having to rock/ shush for every nap/sleep til around 4 months where my second is better she still isn’t 100% settled.

At the minute we are using a dummy (only last few days) which is really helping for sleep, but yesterday she had a wake window for 4 hours as nothing would work and then it took an hour to settle her as she was obvs over tired.

Just feel like we’re doing something wrong as some friends say they’d just put their LO down and they’d drop off 🫠

Struggling with heat

I live in a flat and struggling to keep it cool. I have all windows and curtains shut with fans and it does help a little. But my 9 week old girl just wants to be held 24/7 and when I try and put her down due to her sweating and heat rush she wakes back up again. I try and keep her in a nappy but she doesn’t like that for too long. So I just put a vest on but again only last for 10 mins. So have to but her in something else like a jump suit or at night a onesie. Anyone else struggling or is my little girl just weird as my little boy wasn’t as bad.

Water to infant?

We are currently having a horrible heat wave and my partners mum suggested we give my 3 month old water? Personally I don’t want to as I didn’t think they were supposed to at the age, but she insists only a little amount to “quench” his thirst. We combination feed but more breast than formula and I believe that breast milk has water in it? Correct me if I’m wrong. Anyways should i be giving him like a tea spoon of water for hydration, especially in 30 degree heat? Or is milk enough on its own?
