Nappy Changes

So, my 10 month old has discovered his willy. Every nappy change is a struggle now as he just pulls on it and im worried he will hurt himself. Its also a pain to then keep his hands away from his mouth mid nappy change when cleaning him up.

Any advise on the best way to navigate this would be appreciated.

Sincerely a first time boy mum ✌️

I saw on a Reel that someone pulled their onesie up over their arms to keep their arms down during a change and I might have to try the same once my boy is at the stage

I usually hand my son a toy during diaper changes, there is a also a changing mat that has a cone to prevent from hands going down there, or my husband's favorite.... Put your feet in their arms 😂🤣 We change on the floor so that last one is possible lol

I honestly just give my son a toy or the tv remote to distract him or else he’s yanking at his thing like crazy and he finds it very funny to always touch it 🤣

Hi, when did you change the pram from the carry cot to the seat? My little boy is nearly 4 months and just wants to look around everywhere

Boyfriend wants to put baby for adoption.

My one month old has always been on the fussier side since birth, lots of crying and just wants to be held. Recently, he was “diagnosed” with colic so the crying at night has been intense for long periods. I try my best to console him but there’s not much I can do other than to hold him and give him gas drops to help. My boyfriend (his dad) doesn’t have as much as patience as I do and he made a comment while our baby was intensely crying and said “this is what makes me want to put him up for adoption”. I immediately started crying because instead of him trying to help me to console our baby he makes comments like that. What would y’all have responded or done about that
comment if it was said to you?

Nappy bin - worth it? Angel care vs tommee tippee ?

Hello
I was wondering if getting a nappy bin is worth it or not ? Or do you just use a scented bin bag ?
We also have a dog and where we live there is no bin outside so we have to put the poop bags in our house , so I was thinking maybe it’s worth getting one for the scent as it could double for the baby and our dog ?
If so, do you recommend the angel care bin or the Tommy tippee ? I’ve heard that some people say even the Amazon recharge are expensive and they just use a scented bin bag (with we do, from Costco).
I’m a bit lost of the topic
Thank you ☺️

Am I wrong for not letting my BF discipline our child over something he actually does himself like scream and hit?

My bf is often screaming yelling and aggressive at times and I get so angry when he tries to discipline our child about her screaming and hitting bc he does the very exact same thing

Am I wrong for not letting him say anything to her about it bc he’s just being a hypocrite bc when he does it it’s ok but when she does it it’s wrong. I want him to lead by example and then he can say something to her

Or should I still let her discipline her and teach her better?

Am I being selfish and unreasonable?

I never got the birth or the breastfeeding journey I dreamt of. My birth was a traumatic emergency c-section and as a result, my breastfeeding was delayed and had to combo feed with formula. Sometimes there is breast aversion which breaks my heart and I have a mother who's advice is to give up and only bottle feed. I have always wanted a second baby but even more so now because I want to try a natural birth and exclusively breastfeed. Obviously I won't rush into the second because I want to put all my effort into my current baby.
Is wanting a second baby to di things differently unfair for my current baby? Am I being selfish and unreasonable?
