Baby peeing through clothes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some tips to help with my son peeing through his clothes every night… I’ve tried bigger diapers, I change him multiple times a night, I point his business down… no matter what, he ALWAYS wakes up with wet Jammie’s and a sleep sack… any advice would be appreciated!!! 💙

or try night time diapers they’re a little thicker so they hold more pee ! but if it happens with you changing him multiple times i’d size up!

what brand do you use? i always find that huggies dont hold up very well in the night, but luvs and honest brand diapers usually stay good through the night. honest also makes a night time diapers thats extra obsorbant

Are you making sure his penis is pointed downwards inside the diapers? Oop just saw you said yes to that already lol that’s the only thing that’s ever caused leakage for us

My boy was the same and the only thing that worked for us was putting our boy in pull ups they work wonders he's never leaked through those and he sleeps a good 8/9 hour stretch

Try actual overnight diapers, they’re more absorbent

This was happening to my boy as well. I sized up and it still happened. So I sized up his jammies/baby grows and that helped. It seems like when his nappy was filling with wee, his clothes were squeezing it and causing it to leak out. His torso is so long he ended up looking like he had a bit of a wedgie 😂

Keep trying different brands in different sizes; hopefully you will find one that works; we went through a stage where our boy often leaked at night and we eventually found nappies that worked for him - pampers pull-ups the red or purple packs. Alternatively could do a nappy with a reusable nappy on top

Honest Transparent Rant

I want to preface this and say I was diagnosed with post natal depression, and I chose not to have any medication etc because it’s not an all the time thing if that makes sense?

I’m sure I’m only feeling this way because it’s warm, I’ve got really bad back pain at the moment so struggling to be on the floor and run after him etc, & he’s going through a regression of dropping naps, fighting sleep etc.

I digress;

I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, and I want to start by saying I know you can’t have a baby based off other people helping you. However I deeply regret having a baby and don’t think I’d of done it if I knew it was going to be like this?

We don’t have a support unit, our mums drop in for an hour when it’s convenient for them like before they do their weekly shop or on their way to a night out etc.
My MIL makes me feel guilty for not visit her when we don’t drive, nor does she ever offer to have the baby. She always messaged me asking to go out drinking but I can’t because I have her grandson to look after?
My mum does have the baby every school holiday as she is a teacher so can’t really have him any other time but during term time doesn’t make an effort.
We both have siblings (mine are younger and his are older) but they don’t bother anymore.

When I was pregnant everyone was so excited for this baby but since he’s been here no one care and I feel so bad for him as well.
To put into context he is almost walking and there are people that haven’t seen him since he was pre crawling that’s how long they leave it.

They say it take a village but we are so on our own. To top it off my partner works until 9pm so I’m on my own all day, do everything by myself, do every bed time, every bath time etc I’m the one that gets the brunt of my son when he’s pulling my hair, biting and refusing to go to sleep.

I just feel so defeated, like I miss my son when I’m not around him but I feel like I’m running on a really really empty tank and I just want to run away and tell someone else to have a fucking turn.

I know this is going to sound bitter but even my friends, I hope when they have kids they regret never reaching out. I try but no one seems to want to hang out now that it involves a baby and not a night out?

Idk this is so long and I just needed to get it off my chest, I feel I can’t talk to anyone that this is about because they will feel attacked? Idk just feel so bloody down. All I wanted in my life was to be a mum and I thought I was resilient but I guess I’m not🙃

Unexplained bruising on baby

My baby is 13 months and unfortunately I found an unexplained bruise on her inner buttock. I don’t want to jump to sinister conclusions but it happened at nursery. I did email them ASAP asking about it or if anyone noticed anything. They were very blunt with the response and didn’t mention anything when I brought her in today. I’m hoping it’s just that she fell on a toy. But what are the safeguarding steps to make sure a proper investigation is followed.

Co-sleeping advice needed

Hey mamas, I’m a first time mum and I co-sleep. My baby feeds through the night but hubby would like her to transition into her side bed , baby is 3 months and I feel it’s too soon to transition . when’s a good time to start training her to sleep in the side bed? Also baby rejects the side bed/bassinet . Is it too soon to train seeing that I breastfeed through the night?

Are my kids too old?

What age did you stop letting your kids sleep in the bed with you? My youngest are 7 (son) and 9 (daughter). Most of their younger childhood they always slept with me. They've always had their own rooms and beds but they would still request to sleep in my bed with me. Now they are 7 and 9 still want to sleep with me often. Sometimes I will let them but lately I've been saying "No" more often. Afterwards I feel bad. My 7yo son had a ongoing spell of nightmares every night so last year he slept with me frequently. Once his nightmares stopped I made him return back to his own bed. Now my 9yo daughter has been asking every night recently to sleep with me. What age is too old do you guys think? I sometimes give in and let both sleep with me but I've been putting my foot down lately. Im feeling bad about it as well, am I being mean?

Colostrum Havesting

Hii lovelies! Hope youre all surviving the heat wave 🥵🥵 just wanted some opinions on colostrum harvesting.
Im currently 37+6 with my first, and i feel like there's a lot of pressure around this subject. I should mention that I would really like to breastfeed. So ive been trying the correct technique (advised by midwives and antenatal class i recently attended), having a bath beforehand, all that good stuff, but it just hasnt happened for me yet. I feel really worried that if im not producing now then will I be producing by the time my son arrived and if not then I cant feed my child which is bringing up feelings of me being a bad mum before hes even here 😭
I acknowledge that I am a bit over emotional right now and may be over thinking this big time, but it just feels like its a really huge deal :(
So i guess my question to you ladies is has anyone else experienced this?? What was your experience with colostrum harvesting and did anyone else feel inadequate and like a failure if it wasn't happening for them in the last weeks of pregnancy?
Thanks in advance lovelies 😘

Vaccinations

Tried booking my daughters vaccinations a couple weeks ago and they couldnt do it because of the calendar. Got the text yesterday saying I could call and book now, and they cant do her 8 week vaccinations until shes almost 12 weeks old! So will all her vaccinations now be 4 weeks late? Was hoping to do some bits with her after shed had the first lot, which aren't happening any time soon. So now have to rethink all of those plans. Dying to get her out places, and not be stuck in the house. Anybody else had this happen?
