You'll both be absolutely fine! Just keep an eye on them, use fans and a damp muslin to dab on them if they need extra cooling, etc.

I know its easier said than done but just try avoid any media that talks about SIDs, esp during the heatwave! xx

Totally understand the anxiety but sounds like you have done the right thing just letting him be in a nappy only.

Best bet is now the heat is calming a little for the day then get the window open and if you have a fan then put the fan on windowsill. I dont know which works best but have heard that facing it outwards pulls the hot air out the room, facing inwards can draw the cooler air in 🤷‍♀️ i cant get my fan to the window so never tested either but know of people doing both.

As above a damp muslin can help, i kept one in the fridge in case he got extra sweaty when my son was younger, if he breastfeeds then hold it between the 2 of you during feeding to help keep him cooler.

It’s hard not to worry but you’ve done right by keeping them in just nappy. Our room is 28 tonight and it’s horrible. Keep a window open if you can and fan on and just keep checking on baby

My little girl 🥺🥺

I'm fully convinced my girl has cmpa

If anyones children has it, please please could you tell me if this sounds like cmpa as I'm trying to build evidence for the doctors. She's 4 weeks old so they're struggling to find what it is due to an immature digestive system.

She struggles to poop. Like she will go bright red, you can see her trying to push with her little belly getting tense while she does it 🥺
When she poo has passed, it's very mucusy, very liquidy and has also had blood in it 3 times. (Told the doctors but she said it could just be the trauma from the bowl with pushing so much and so hard)

She spits up constantly, even after being winded. Sometimes projectile. Sometimes half digested spit up, chunky like cheese and sometimes fresh milk comes straight back up.

She's extremely gassy, very easy to wind after feeding. This little girl toots like no other baby.

Also, she's breastfed. Very occasionally given breast milk in a bottle but probably only 5 times since she was born.

I've cut all dairy from my diet for the past 3 days and I'm seeing an improvement in her skin already. No change in the nappies yet but hopefully soon! (I'm lactose intolerant but I'm addicted to cheese so suffering with the pain was worth it!😂)

Sorry for the long message. I had to deal with issues with lactose and having a sore belly my whole life. It's horrible and I don't want this for my little girl.
I'll do anything to make her comfortable again😭🥺

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?

I hate my Stokke YoYo pram! 😭😅

We got this pram mainly based on recommendations from other mum friends. Felt like the perfect pram as its cabin compatible, and we didn’t want a seperate travel pram so this is our everyday pram. After using it for a year, I hate it! The basket underneath is hard to access because of the pram frame and SO small. I find myself on my knees in the shopping centre trying to stuff my things under there. Super annoying.

The 6 month seat, even when in upright position, I find my baby slouching and sliding off the seat constantly. Oh and she’s figured out how to unbuckle the belt lol. It also doesn’t recline fully.

Opening and closing it is a hassle. It’s super fidgety, and the button underneath the seat is hard to access. After experience, I think I would prefer one that you can open and close with one hand.

So I’ve decided to sell my pram and I want to get something else that fits our lifestyle better.

Any recommendations for a cabin compatible pram, that reclines fully for naps, opens and closes with one hand and has an easy to access and larger basket underneath please x

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 😅

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

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!
