Bottles abroad

Sorry this feels like a silly question but I’m going to Greece with my 8 month old. How do I make her formula bottles? Do I use boiled bottled water (I think this is advised against in UK as bottled water contains high levels of minerals?)

I haven’t been abroad but I think best bet is to find a bottled water the lowest in sodium(salts) and boil that and your babba should be okay!xx

I second mollies comment - we took our first on holiday at 6m and we just googled which water was low in sodium (we went to Marbella) and picked some of that up in a local shop, and then would boil that, and used our nuby cool x

We’ve not long come back from greece and as generally it’s not recommended to drink the tap water loads of the bottled water is baby safe. Vikos was the easiest to find and was also what was used and given in the hotel

Nap location during the day

Where do people put their baby to sleep during the day?

She’s outgrowing her Moses basket at 16 weeks, and think she hates sleeping in anything she can touch the sides of.

Any ideas other than her pram? She wakes in that too because of the sides.

For those that have older talking kids, if u used to watch tv occasionally while your baby was there, did that make tyem talk late ?

I don’t let my son watch tv that much , he’s 7 months but o let him watch occasionally like while I’m making his food or taking a shower and for just a short period of time .. .. he’s already babbling a lot and he’s so interactive… I’m just curious to see how it went for other babies ..

Sleep

Why won’t my baby sleep past 5:00am!!😩 he’s 4 months old and I think we are right in the sleep regression but he hasn’t really gone past 5:00/5:30 ever! His bedtime is normally 7:30, but this doesn’t matter as if we are out and come home a bit later he still wakes up at the crack of dawn!! Anyone the same?

Keeping baby hydrated with diarrhoea

Nearly 10 month old is unwell with a very runny bum. Any tips on how to make sure he doesn't become dehydrated?

Has anyone ever faked a pass ouy or death?

I usually do different emergency things that could happen with my kids and yesterday I only had my 2yo son and 3yo daughter i pretend to have fainted (im 36 weeks pregnant) My daughter was on her device so she really didn't pay me any mind but my 2yo kept calling me and opening my eye lid thats when my 3yo came over looked at me and said "mom can you put this code in?" Lmao 🤣 do I need something more realistic or something for her?

Dramatic?

Hate even talking about this but I am a FTM really struggling. I cry most days and was recently diagnosed with PPD. My partner knows this as I am open and honest with him. He has been so supportive and helps with everything regarding me and baby. However, yesterday I saw that on his Instagram he was looking at videos of half naked girls. I’m honestly so upset and I know it’s not really “wrong” but feeling the lowest I have ever felt and postpartum and knowing that’s what he was looking at really hurt me. Am I being dramatic?
