Last nights, night shift

I really don’t know what to do about this, little one does not like to be wet (understandable) once a drop hits the nappy she start’s screaming uncontrollably, when changing her she starts pooing, sometimes I use 4-5 nappies in one setting thinking she is done each time and everytime I put on a new one she 💩 again. I was also blessed with a handful of 💩last night trying to save my bed and that is her clothes all smeared too, some of these bags has 2-3 nappies in them all from one night.

Not too worried about how many nappies it is, it’s just the stress of her constant screaming and it takes so long to calm her down and she keeps pooing. Any ideas are welcome 🙏🏼

I don’t have any ideas however if your baby is size 0 I have 2 unopened packs of nappies if you want them?🥲not much help but let me know!

I got nothing but take it day by day. The challenges will shapeshift as you go

Have you considered the possibility of her having a uti? it would explain why she screams everytime she has a wee, i can only speak from personal experience but ive never known a baby do that before, as for the pooing i wait wayyyy longer than I feel like i should just to make sure shes done and still occasionally get pooed on but that will get better with time eventually you’ll pick up on little tells that let you know they’re done x

When my LO poops it can upset him because of all the gas, it hurts his tummy. So if I hear a poop and can see he is struggling I often do tummy massages and leg stretches to help relax him and get the gas out before I change him. I also use gripe water to help with gas too. I put some on his dummy and he generally can work it all out. Otherwise he gets upset with me if I am changing his nappy and he has more poop that wants to come out. So my suggestion to you is maybe dont be so quick to change her and let her get her poop out completely first. It could be the gas thats making your baby cry and not the actual nappy?

No help but my baby also hates having a remotely wet or dirty nappy! I’ve always changed my babies as soon as I’ve noticed they’re wet or dirty but my second baby makes sure to let me know as soon as he’s so much as piddled!

Co sleeping

Alright fellow co sleeping mamas.. I really tried the bassinet we got for little man but he absolutely hates it and we were losing so much more sleep just trying to put him down in his bassinet cause he would instantly wake up or within a few minutes. We tried warming the bassinet before hand, white noise, sleep sack(s), doing a warm bath and feeding beforehand, patting his butt when we transfer.. it just didn’t work.. so with that being said we’ve had him in bed with us & I need some recommendations on a “lounger” we should get to put in the middle of us where we can sleep at night or even on the couch during the day so we can be hands free and also sleep a bit better at night.. I’ll post a picture of a “lounger” and pls lmk yalls thoughts and recommendations. Thank youuu <3

How are we taking showers?

When he was little, I used to just put the bouncer in the bathroom and I would shower while I was watching him. That’s something I’m not able to do anymore because he became to mobile for the bouncer and also for his swing so I had to get rid of them he tries to escape them by crawling, or he simply starts yelling cs he doesn’t like them. How are we taking showers then?
the other day I put him in his highchair with a couple of toys, but he got bored of it really quickly and I ended up taking a three minute shower. I was also thinking I could put him on his crib with a couple of toys since I can just bring the monitor in the shower with me. I’m just not sure if he’ll like that. Has anybody tried this? Any other ideas?

Epidurals

Hello - expecting FTM, I’d really like to hear people’s opinions on epidurals who have had one previously please and their experiences (good or not so good) - no horror stories though please 🥲 I have done a LOT of research myself but would really like to get some first hand experiences, I’m aware of the risks & it’s not for everyone but I’d love to hear if people enjoyed having one and if not, why not 😊 thank you!!!

Recovery

When I found out I was pregnant I quit all drugs and alcohol smoking everything but now it’s like all I want to do but I know I can’t because the baby’s more important. I’ve only just turned 20 and I’m 26 weeks pregnant.

360 Car Seats

360 Car Seats, worth the money? Never had one before always used the one from our travel system but little man is getting so big it’s getting such a pain with the normal standard car seat

Also any budget friendly recommendations if so TY!

Hallucinating or no?

Ok so it's 10pm at night. 2 people in bed, blue and white. White is usually asleep by 9:30 but goes to take a shower at 10.

Blue, who is and was awake hears moaning (and heavy breathing) and jokes that they could have helped (white get off). The text chain in the comments follows.

Blue then says they must be hallucinating and to ignore them. White doesn't respond.

Bkue apologises imfor causing a problem, the next morning. White says "it's ok".

Do we think Blue was hallucinating? Or was White lying?

Please, please, please help.
