Stating the obvious but fans and a/c units if you have them! Closing the blinds/curtains and windows the whole day also helps keep the heat out! Once the temp drops in the evening I have been opening the curtains and letting the windows open to let some of the cooler air in which seems to be helping! I’m going back to feeding to sleep/ sleep rocking to sleep in this weather too, whatever gets us through this heatwave!!

100% buy an AC unit, so worth it!!!

Same as the above. I'm also moving downstairs to sleep in the evening and set up everything down there as from the last heatwave I found our lounge dropped a good 6 degrees rather than being upstairs as our room is currently showing at 31 degrees 🥵

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?

Bed time in this heatwave

So my little girl usually has her regular naps during the day she only had 20 minutes for her second one and now she’s absolutly exhausted at 5:30. Trying to keep her awake is proving difficult and she’s becoming agitated because she’s tired. I’m worried if I let her sleep too early she’s going to be up during the night? Any suggestions? Her wake window had now passed 4 hours

Anyone else 😅

Some days you just can’t win 🥴
Tell me some reasons your toddlers had a tantrum so I feel better about cutting her banana up wrong 😅

Child’s farm vs aveeno vs supermarket body wash and shampoo

I’m looking at baby shampoo, body wash, moisturisers etc.

I love aveeno for myself and see they do a baby range, is it any good?

I’ve also got a 20% discount for child’s farm, is it any good?

Or is Aldi/tesco/asda etc just as suitable for a newborn?

Please help a clueless first time mum!

8 week jabs

My son is due his 8 week jabs tomorrow and it’s meant to be 34 degrees here 😣 I’m so worried about him being hot anyway then not being well with his jabs. Is it best to reschedule them?

How do I end contact naps (not altogether) But at least one transfer to the moses throughout the day!? Need help!

As much as I love comforting my baby girl, she will only nap if she's being held (contact naps) all day, every day. But then night time, she will be transferred to her crib and will sleep through the night.. It really does baffle me!!

Has anyone managed to gently transition their little one to more independent sleep? I can’t get nothing done throughout each day, even the smallest of things! As much as I love bonding through contact naps, one transfer would be so good too!

Would love tips or encouragement from anyone who’s been through this! I feel like I’ve tried about everything, dark room, deep sleep, in the pram.. you’ll probably name it and I’ve tried it 😪…

I don’t want to be made to feel guilty for wanting some time without LO on my chest, I feel people that’ll say ‘enjoy it’ When experiencing it, it can be very tough, lonely and sometimes frustrating!
Of course I enjoy it and of course I will miss it when they no longer happen!!
